>>My money is still on one of our >> regulars having a laugh at our expense. Wouldn't be first time somebody's had an alter >> ego..... >> It's cleverly done though. There's no one's style he reminds me of, no little give-away traits have emerged yet. I think to test this theory we need to accumulate more samples of his writings and run some comparison tests. Then when we have a shortlist of suspects we could try deliberately introducing a topic that we know will particularly engage one of them, and try to get Fluffy to intervene too. If we can get a thread going containing both Fluffy and Fluffy-suspect he is likely to trip himself up and confuse which he is meant to be. Or, we could reserve judgement, treat him as a welcome new member, and stop being so cliquey and patronising.

New member, existing member on a wind-up, school kid on break, whatever. He still posts tedious and boringly predictable rubbish. So ignore his heritage, and judge him on his puerile performance would seem to lead to the same conclusion. Discuss. Reply to this message | Report message       2

>> I thought I would put fluffy back to the top. That's called "bumping". You could look that up on Google along with "troll". Anyway, I'm glad I've not offended you, not that I thought I would. :-) The above is supposed to be a smile. That's on Google, but the other variations don't seem to be. For the benefit of anyone else, I can remember what it's like to be a new member. I asked to be initiated into that mysterious language, but was ignored. My intelligence was also called into question by AC when I indicated that I was not a royalist. I managed to laugh it off and I'm still here. You have to devote an awful lot of time to following some of the topics, so I often lose interest after about 20 posts. Some members seem to argue for the sake of it. I try to stay out of those "discussions", but I like to read their opinions even if I disagree with them. Reply to this message | Report message

It wasn't a topic about monarchy in particular, AC. At one point, Zero posted to the effect that he was anti-royal and I agreed with him. Your contribution was a bit scathing, posts after it were deleted for some reason and the topic died. Anyway, it's water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned. It was well over a year ago.
