What did I miss?

Hmm these actions/MO sound familiar

Don't even go there Baggy

[Bagpuss]

Likely 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.)

The ever dependable Nick Fitz comes up with the goods again. Cheers fella.

So, shall I start a thread trying to guess which fembot Likely will be posting with next?

2 gay Eastern European types called each other names. They minced and ponced around for a while waving their handbags till a mod got bored with the spectacle and sent one away to the gulag.

HTH

Sounds riveting. Will it be turned into a book or film?

[HairyArsedBloke]

So we're back to only one gay in the village then are we?

Nah, there is me as well as AtW.

but the mass murder bit was true though?

Anyway, without getting in trouble with the forum police, can anyone indicate what 'appened?

Ok, so there seems to have been some sort of dust up between (in the red corner) atw and (in the blue corner) Likely leading to Likely getting KO'd (banned).

AtW

He was KOed by a furry creature, but it ain't me

[SallyAnne]

Ooooooh forum goss!!!!
