You know, I've been thinking about this and just want to ask, did you read much of Bill's Transpinayhelper blog? It's stated aim is to help transpinays that are looking for relationships with western men. Is that really a laudable "charity" effort? Have you read the "appeal of older men" post? It doesn't take a much to jump to my conclusion, does it? There's the school boy/underwear/gay teacher story too, I mean I'm not mental for think something might be up with Bill's motivations.

There's also the bit the silent invader quoted, not exactly painting "Monty" in the best light.

Personally I think that it's getting to the stage where you are going to see silly sock-puppets come out of the woodwork soon. 0:)

Oh, Bill's here! I assume that someone has cached his blog?

After ten months and 421 pages Bill might have finally learned the first rule of holes.

When you find yourself in one, stop digging.

Well written and tactful. I'm leaning towards Andrew's view on this though in terms of "Monty".

As an aside, I noticed Sparker, once a vociferous proponent of the site, has decided to depart TMP at least for now. I've disagreed with many of his opinions, but he does have a lot of nice gaming eye candy on this blog worth a look.
It is. And it is not. When it is, and when it is not, is the question or the answer, or both or neither.

I think he's trying to give Bill a way out rather than back him into a corner. Don't forget Thaddeus has a background in charity support so is probably trying to help Bill rather than just confront him. I can see his point, to some degree he does need help regardless of how we view his actions. He does seem to have some control issues which possibly he really can't help and we know what he gets like if someone points out he is wrong. If he is offered an acceptable way out of this without any loss of face then perhaps we can move on and "Monty" can be deleted so everything stays above board in the future.

Thaddeus is the carrot
Frothers is the stick

Well it finally seems to be sinking in over there as a few of the more well known posters (and paid up members)are quitting http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=353945

Oh and while im posting i'd like to thank Earthman over at TMP for defending my Red Baron ban, and MiniatureMOJO for bringing their nice looking minis to my attention, plus kudos to Andrew May for sticking to his guns over there.
