Totally agree.

Aha! Sock puppeteer!

There were other reasons. Rambling at length isn't a bannable action by itself.

The CUK mob was baying for his blood and the moderators duly obliged.

Rubbish. If you examine his other incarnations we've been extremely forbearing. As you full well know, gricer.

Aha! Sock puppeteer!

There were other reasons. ..

What other reasons?

We have this conversation every year or two when a Gricer clone shows up again and is promptly banned. People mutter dark hints of other reasons to ban him, but nobody ever explains why.

I find it hard to believe the Gricer incarnations are genuine bots which some people claim, even if his bonhomie and discursive style and content are rather stereotypical.

Seems to be just you and me OH.

[AtW]

Seems to be just you and me OH.

That makes one of you gricer's sockie and another is the ultimate puppetmaster.

I was imagining that this could turn into one of those amazing “Hands across the ocean” moments and there would be little old me at the centre of it all.
