Richard's domination of threads and wanting to have the last word

Would be nice if the bandwagon was forcibly stopped though, it does more harm than good. Dragging up your flaws in normal threads, for instance.

Nah, there's no way to stop it TBH. There are a few people on board for starters, and as threads like this show, there are worthy souls, plenty of them, who have genuine grievances, and those on the anti-Dickinson bandwagons can hide behind this in a way that is completely impossible to police against.

As long as there are enough people who know what they are and what they do, that's quite sufficient. :) It doesn't bother me, and I hope it doesn't bother anyone else.

Don't you dare, I've been enjoying your posting of late.

Nice to feel appreciated, cheers.

Actually Mr Phlegm, dont be too harsh on yourself. Aye you've posted some rubbish, and the NZ brigade have deliberatly taken over a thread or two (infact, thought it was me who thwarted your evil plans). They've been light hearted posts that dont really offend anyone. In fairness though, theres a difference between rubbish posting and being an utter moron. Just think too many idiots are crawling out of the woodwork and just posting frankly insulting posts, both offensive to people and to intelligence in general

And that's different to this:

how?

Yes, you could easily interpret it as an absolute insult, and frankly I don't mind if you do because I think he deserves it as he's been nothing but an idiot in my direction, several times. I'm not going to put-up with it forever.

It's also saying, though, and perhaps more importantly, "intelligent people will realise what he's trying to imply is non-existant" - ie, "you won't fool intelligent people". Less a comment on him than one that intelligent people will see through him.

I was call him on that, but then it took thirty minutes to load up your quote, so I decided to just try and avoid forcing myself to throw stuff.

Sig reported TBH - don't mind one quote along those lines but two which are basically insinuating exactly the same thing, well, pretty blatant IMO, and conveying a false impression of myself to the masses. Especially given that the 2nd one is very obviously a deliberately patronising response on my part to a patronising case - its use in a sig gives completely the wrong impression.

Well if you don't want that quoted in my sig, I'm happy to oblige. :)

It wasn't working anyway in my opinion, too convoluted to be a good one.

Pwned.

I think that theres no real point in the thread.
If someone bugs you this much just use ignore or unleash an almighty attack resulting in you getting banned.
Someone might agree with you or something.

Anti-Richard brigade is the most annoying part of CW atm.

Come on, he loves the attention. He wouldn't keep doing things he knows wind people up if he didn't; the "using real names" thing being the obvious one, his rational being "I don't care how many people it annoys, it feels more natural for me" or something.

Pretty much agree with the Spam Man:

I don't love the attention and I certainly don't enjoy winding-up most of the posters on this forum. To pick a few examples of people who've posted so far in this thread who I certainly don't enjoy winding-up at all: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. And that's just those who posted on the first couple of pages of this thread, there are any number of others I could go through, but I really CBA as I've said exactly this (albeit to a different person) before.

There are some people who are idiots towards me, and no, I make no apologies for not giving a &%$£ if I wind them up. I try to tone things down of times, due to the occasional request from above, and obviously there are forum rules for certain things. They give me precisely zero consideration, though, so therefore they can expect exactly the same back.
the "using real names" thing being the obvious one, his rational being "I don't care how many people it annoys, it feels more natural for me" or something.

I don't use real names if the person in question doesn't want their real-name used (and that's used by anyone, and not by me specifically as I see no good reason for this - it's basically saying "you can't use my name because I say you can't", which is utter rubbish - no-one dictates to me what I say and what I don't unless said dictations cover everyone else too); the only rationale for being annoyed is "I want people's posting-IDs to be used". I've even taken away the "I don't know who you're on about" rationale. The only possible explanation left for using objecting to my use of real-names is trying to find an excuse to make a fuss, or attempting to find a criticism when you've run-out of them.
