Bullshit. You started posting some 250 pages in and you were a hell of a lot rougher with Sweet William than I have ever been. You seem to have found it a personal affront that Bill labled what he was doing "a charity". I just think it's dangerous and ridiculous.

My problem with Troutfister has little to do with his hiring transpinnays (though I will admit to cheerfully taking the piss on that point): it has to do with the fact that he is a manipulative, hypocritical fuck who is doing his best to make the worst stereotypes about the hobby -- that it is full of racist, jingoistic, nativist men who couldn't get a date if they paid for one -- look true to life.

Furthermore, you're whinging about how 1% of Frothers total postage might be on this thread? Sweetheart, almost TEN PERCENT of your total postage is on this thread. That's an impressive track record for someone who claims they couldn't give a fuck about this topic.

But your nasty pack mentality has become rather jarring. Frothers has a reputation for being argumentative, profane and disturbed... But frankly next time the tables go up at salute what a lot of people will know us as is stupid, ignorant, childish and unpleasant. Thanks to a bunch of TMP rejects deciding to make their impotent stand here.

Won't effect most of you though... So carry on chaps...

I just want anyone who reads this thread to be aware that most people on this site think you as big a bunch of twats as Bill.

So let me get this straight: "everyone" simultaneously knows that we are "a bunch of TMP rejects making an impotent stand" and yet, somehow, simultaneously, this self-same "everyone" can't tell the difference between a hobby group's activities and the pissing and moaning of a small number of people who are marginally associated with that group, on ONE THREAD of an on-line forum that is CLEARLY LABELED as "nonsense" and not directly gaming related?

"Everyone" is pretty fucking dense then. It's a wonder that they can even read the banner over the tables at Salute. My bet is that "Everyone" will be more likely to stop drinking Fosters in protest.

As for "impotent stand", what would that be?

Bunny, baby, you were one of the few people actually taking a "stand" in this entire mega-thread. The rest of us are here just to gripe, bitch and laugh about the dog's breakfast TMP has become. In spite of Bill's breathless accusations, no one here is "hacking" TMP. No one is doing "drive bys" (or if they are, it's subtle). No one is spamming TMP members with death threats or hate mail. In fact, the only attempts ANYONE has so far made to make this discussion spill over into Real Life was when Bill/Chumpie threatened to turn someone in for innappropriate use of a computer during office hours, and when someone tried to plea to Anonymous to attack THIS site for supposedly being "anti-GLBT".

So what "bullying" and "impotent stand" is this, precisely?

What are you on about mate?

What it seems like to me is that you want to censor people who are talking about something you don't like, pure and simple.

Your wish is our command... back to creating a new thread every time something happens on TMP, just like the old days

For all the arguments online, every Frother I've met in real life, normally at Salute are all nice chaps.

I think that record is fucked this year though as Steders is going to Salute it seems

FFS Bill and the rest of us have spent years trying to make this place like somewhere gamers would cross the road to avoid, and then you turn up preaching love and understanding with your fucking Val Doonican rocking chair and guitar, trying to make us sing Kumbayah and Paddy McGinty's Goat.

Or you could just have one thread.... But not post the 1300 pages of unnecessary abuse that detracts from your credibility between the other bits.

Just an idea.

Let's face it. This thread became a little club of people who got all carried away with the witch hunt.. Most people know witches don't exist so they are free to dismiss all this as nonsense. Even the important bits.

And when you paraphrase someone's post completely inaccurately in a quote it only adds to the overall impression that you are not honest.. And if you are not honest why would anyone believe you when you say Bill is not?

It's so utterly self defeating and counterproductive. Given that most of you are not stupid then it might be more honest to rename the thread 'Bill baiting and Sour Grapes' since this took over from the strange goings on ages ago.

If you can't see the difference between this thread and the historic frothers threads you are beyond reasoning. Being able to claim the moral high ground whilst calling people cunts is quite important. This thread has claimed the moral swamp.
