Your posting that evening and night was of a drunken nature, you read like chaney3 for example. If you weren’t drunk then I really wouldn’t worry about me saying that you sounded drunk.

No me calling you drunk to your face because you are posting like a dreary wine-soaked fight-seeker has nothing at all in common with my complaint against ghost of a duke. But I can see why you would like to draw attention to yourself by making the inference.
Leave me out of this.
I have changed my ways.

Repenting....get it dive?
You should try it yourself.

Randomly came across this and thought I should post it. Hope it as taken as humour.

Randomly? 😉

How could it be taken as anything but humour?

Weakness and impotence are the characteristics of trolls. Those who lack the strength to act positively in the real world so attack people unknown to them behind the safety of their keyboard.

Thumbing someone down is a moments thought.
How about starting threads in private clubs lying about people they don’t like... would you say that is a “characteristic of weakness and impotence”?

But being forthright, upfront, honest, direct to the person, posting in public forums, inviting scrutiny. That’s trolling?

Just to be clear on where you’re coming from...

^^^ this post by me ^^^

@neilarini
Is this post above, by me, what you would call “trolling” and displaying my “weakness and impotence”?

Or do you want to reconsider...?

The weirdest escalation I have seen here of late is unknown people alerting posts they disagree with - not just thumbing them down - but actually trying to get them deleted. I don't remember that happening in the past.

Have you seen any posts by me that would endanger my "safety" if their content were expressed in person? I can't think of any. Can you?

Ghost of a Duke alerted several of mine recently in the BBBOOs thread. Pleasingly the moderator ignored the alerts and left the posts intact. I’m fairly certain that Ghost of a duke is levering is club cronies to alert certain posts for him permitting him the plausible deniability when he is challenged on it.

Your assumptions here are incorrect. (I won't call them lies).

There is also recently the propensity to view 'thumbs down' as the collective actions of some clique, club or clan, when in reality individual forum posters are reacting of their own accord to posts (and yes, sometimes the poster).

I think many of the thumbs down are from posters just fed up with the ongoing negativity in the GF and I certainly acquire my fair share of those. But to be clear, I have never levered anybody to alert posts. That would be plain sad. (As sad as the groundless accusation itself).

During my albeit briefly time in your club I personally witnessed you starting at least one thread encouraging members to gang-thumb up/down certain posts in the general forum.

Sad it is indeed, but your propensity for this type of behaviour has been witnessed and has precedent.

This is a blatant lie.

Please elaborate.

In my short time in your club, I saw you track down somebody's real name and then start using it in the public forums, even though they hadn't divulged it themselves.

Sad indeed.

It’s not a lie, I remember it clearly, there’s no need for elaboration.
