    It has to be Harry Angstrom - I loved him <3<3<3 !!! He was an incredibly intelligent poster, he was also hilariously funny.

    I also miss Roundy Mooney, Lapin & GSW.

    Agree re Harry and GSW.
    I don't really remember the other two names mentioned.

    I suppose to balance this thread we need 'which boards member would you get rid of?'

    I can think of about 6 but I think they're all actually the one poster.

    That poster drives me mad, so obnoxious. Why do mods allow all the multiple accounts for what is clearly one poster. He routinely quotes and thanks and replies to his own posts.

    I’ve noticed it, J. There’s a few paranoid, and deluded, users who often trot out their, silly, “belief” quite regularly.

    It’s usually when they don’t like a post or during an argument, or debate, in which they are on the losing side. “Bully-boy” tactics, you know yourself,

    Best not to take any notice, as I see you have been doing. I’m pretty sure it’s against the forum rules but no action is ever taken so I just treat it as an “ad hominem” and let it go. They really aren’t worth the time.

    Most of the time when people on this website run out of coherent arguments or opportunities to slag you off, they will resort to accuse you of hiding behind multiple handles.

    It’s the tactic of the weak-minded.

    Report a post and list all accounts you think belong to one person, all accounts can be checked out pretty quickly.

    And four of them emerged from the burrow subsequently.

    Flutterin Bantam & Rumpy Pumpy left a sizable legacy behind them. It required a shovel.

    The first step is someone making an actual report with a list of names believed to have the same owner. So far there are no reports as I have suggested above

    Anyway this is dragging the thread off topic. If anyone has suspicions about an account then report it and it will be reviewed.

    Hiya. I just said I'd give you a thank in case no-one else noticed the joke.

    I don’t get it?

    I thought the “Rumpy Pumpy” part was funny but just because it’s a funny term you just don’t hear anymore.

    Their posts were scatological, I'd say.

    Ah, thanks. I’ve heard of the “Fluttering” guy alright but haven’t seen their posts. He’s not in the “etiquette” thread anyway.

    There’s certainly a “cohort” on here who, if they don’t agree with you or think you’re enjoying yourself, will hound you around the place. It’s, quite frankly, bizarre, and certainly unhealthy, behaviour.

    While I haven’t had any reason to use the “ignore” function I think it would be a valuable “asset” for these people. Could lead them to getting a life instead of hanging out in someone else’s.

    Thanks again for the clarification, B.

    Each and every one of those posters would be filling a bucket every other day at least, imagine if they were double or triple posting! Chocolate chip donuts for sphincters!

    Wherever he is, I'm sure he's, at the very least, browsing it. While pulling the mickey off himself.

    Honestly, the people who thanked this post, shame on you all.

    If this Forum has lacked anything in recent years, it was originality and humour. Some of us are fed-up with staid, middle-aged anxiety towards how the world is changing.

    Sometimes it's a relief to log-on and catch a glimpse of the boards of the mid-00's, when everyone wasn't obsessed with nonce words like "woke" and "cuck", nor wound up in a ball of "economic anxiety".

    Frankly, some of the people involved in thanking the above post are some of the least-craic on this website. We should be glad, in an age of Twitter and Instagram, that anyone is still making an effort on this website - and enjoy it. Don't be so bloody miserable all the time, hmm?

    Ah that’s a shame. I always found him funny.

    I noticed too that Zorya is gone which is another shame as I like her, another funny poster gone. I replied to her last post on the site which suggests to me I scared her off. I have a knack for doing that with the ladies, it’s my gift. :cool:
