@fmf saidThis is rich coming from you sir.
Ghost of a Duke's lie about why he started the club and how he pitched it to us is an interesting crossing-of-a-line. He has decided that it just doesn't matter to him if you and I know, without any doubt, that he is lying through his teeth.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidThat's how you pitched it to me. All the best people will post in the club instead. Let's just leave the General Forum to Very Rusty. It'll serve him right. I turned down your invitation [three times] in part because of the misanthropic nature of your objective.
Did I think the GF would be made defunct by the creation of a club and that people were not capable of posting in both? - Don't be daft.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI haven't told any lies about anything. But you are lying about how you pitched your club to me.
This is rich coming from you sir.
@fmf saidAgain, applause on the twisting of facts. (Though an applause with a decreasing amount of enthusiasm).

@fmf saidOf course you have. The disintegration of our friendship was based upon your lies and frankly bizarre twisting of facts.
I haven't told any lies about anything. But you are lying about how you pitched your club to me.
But hey, I'm not going there. Spending the next 3 weeks going over it all again while you lie through your teeth is of no interest to me. We both know what happened and your motivations at the time.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou appear to be backtracking somewhat. Your stated objective - at least when you pitched it to me - was so nasty, it was the main reason I did not join, despite you pestering me three times, although I'd been clear the first time you asked.
The club was created at a time when Rusty posted in almost every thread in the GF and was the last poster in the last 20 threads. This included the writing competition thread that created a lot of frustration. The club provided a place where threads could stay on track, especially the creative writing threads. But then, you know that already.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhat lies?
Of course you have. The disintegration of our friendship was based upon your lies and frankly bizarre twisting of facts.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI am not lying through my teeth. I've nevrr lied through my teeth to anyone here. You cannot come up with a single example.

@fmf saidThe nastiness dwells only in your imagination. There was only frustration.

And the only reason you were asked more than once was because you were pestering me about the short stories posted within the club. It made far more sense for you to join yourself and read them first hand. - I explained that to you clearly at the time. Do you deny that?
@fmf saidSeriously?

You're beyond funny.

What lies?

@ghost-of-a-duke said"Pestering" you for stories?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidBut you keep talking about how I supposedly lie and yet you always cop out when asked for an example.
I'm not going there. Spending the next 3 weeks going over it all again while you lie through your teeth is of no interest to me. We both know what happened and your motivations at the time.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI have never lied through my teeth about what happened nor about what my motivation was for including two of your stories in those early shows. I "lied"? How so?
