    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.
    ah.

    'the way things are going...'

    I meant today. Bannings, phone numbers, police involvement, stalking

    not to mention Tay

    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.

    He's quite a nice chap when he's not deliberately winding people up. even then he isn't malicious, though irritating to some
