Well at least I'm not the school playground stirrer eh Maple.

I won't rise to this nonsense. If you knew anything about me you would know that I don't duck an argument.
What I do object to is idiots who just want to close down debates with name calling or those who go running to the mods becuse someone had the cheek to disagree with them.

I think it's easy to take things personally on the BBS when you got endlessly abused by the usual clique but after observing the site for a number of years I have realised that the regulars on the discussion threads were not 'innocently' objecting to opinions but in fact spend half their lives trolling, abusing and bullying selected posters, more often than not, just for their opinions.
The only difference between the 'famous' posters and the others that disappeared into oblivion is that they gave them as good as they got and caused the regulars to get a big hard on for them. They loved it.That is their reason for living in some cases. Then there is this whole folklore about what they said and who their other usernames were which is mostly a tissue of lies.
The internet really does highlight the limits of human beings.

On the HOL you just don't get away with that stuff as much, which is a very good thing, and that is the major difference. I have never observed any sort of rivalry.

You lot? You've obviously picked your side.

PS Good to see you posting.

Clearly you are indicating that I am 'the school playground stirrer'. So much for the HOL being mannerly and polite. I believe that currently the posting on HOL is out of balance. Those that appear to have gained the ascendancy appear rather pleased with themselves. I regret that, it is not a good thing.

What a Judg(e)mental post
