The ever dependable Nick Fitz comes up with the goods again. Cheers fella.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostLikely posted a link to the "About" page on AtW's business website, along with various derogatory personal comments. The usual trolls joined in the abuse.
However Likely became increasingly unhinged, accusing AtW of various criminal offences (mass murder and the like). He then started to make defamatory comments about AtW's business practices, pretty much accusing him of being a cheat and a conman.
AtW, who had shown a good degree of forbearance in the face of the personal abuse, was forced to respond to these allegations so as to defend his business reputation, including pointing out that such scurrilous and unwarranted slurs could be actionable at law. I'm not sure exactly what happened next, for lo! the entire thread vanished and Likely was banned.
And that, hopefully, was the end of that. The general feeling on the board is that AtW conducted himself in a dignified and appropriate manner, and that the departure of Likely is good riddance to bad rubbish. (The usual trolls excepted, of course.)
So, shall I start a thread trying to guess which fembot Likely will be posting with next?

The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
