ah.Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostWhen you said 'the way things are going...' suggested things may be worse than before.
I got bored with the shout99 style after a while. I don't recall what I thought of this forum years ago when I first saw it, I was probably too busy to look closely and mostly forgot about it.
'the way things are going...'
I meant today. Bannings, phone numbers, police involvement, stalking
not to mention Tay

So why did you ask ? do you like that particular style ?do you think it would suit me ?Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostYep, one which tends to have less, erm, frank discussions. At least last time I looked a few moons ago. When I'm heavily in contract I rarely look in on any of the fora, except perhaps the odd editorial of which shou99 has more.

didnt he say he was going to write a book or something, with comments about the cuk'ers ? sort of rings a bell.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostI am very pleased he is doing well - and I bet most feel likewise(even if they are suprised).
There is quite enough winding people up on here.
His economic theories were extremely dodgy.
I think saying he is leaving and that he will be back to tell everyone what he thinks of them is unlikely to endear himself to anyone.

As opposed to all the ones who just stay here telling everyone what they think of them day in, day outOriginally posted by BrilloPad View PostI think saying he is leaving and that he will be back to tell everyone what he thinks of them is unlikely to endear himself to anyone.

We chat on a regular basis by PM/Online and he's up to his neck busy, and doing very well too from what I've seen (which will be one in the eye for some of his opponents)
He's quite a nice chap when he's not deliberately winding people up. even then he isn't malicious, though irritating to some
