Serious forum fighting...

Behave. Her agenda was to rile people up from day one. She's still on here anyway.

Hmmm...disagree with that.

There was a bit of a self-righteous culture on here around that time. It's what stopped me from using the forum for a while. And I can recall one occasion where I felt that KK had been unfairly treated, when in my opinion he/she had simply been sticking up for another forumite that had been jumped on.

But on the other hand 90% of KK's posts were antagonistic, contrived, and often insulting. There was simply no need. There were a few occasions when I was insulted on other people's behalf. In the three years that I've been visiting here, he/she is the only forumite I can recall that has had a poll created by somebody else to determine who they actually are (although it's possible that Anti had one, can't quite remember), had a parody account set up in direct opposition to them ('Borrowdale Battenburg', for pity's sake...) and forced Brett to actually intervene in a thread and shut it down because of what it had degenerated into. It wasn't all one sided, but there was one common denominator. I've had a look back at some of the old threads where the problems took place and they are certainly...feisty.

I didn't think Anti was banned.

I also had some good fun on the political threads, educating people in 'gold is king, diversity is dead,' and all that.

I'm still beating you on that one, 4 years in; we'll see over the next four years whether you're right.

That said, I have started increasing my gold exposure now because of the possible risks of inflation now the economy looks like its beginning to improve.

Actually I've been proven right about so many things nobody bothers debating with me anymore.

Not true, you have worn down the debaters with your insistence that you were right. You cannot be proven right by repeating a theory over and over again.

.....You cannot be proven right by repeating a theory over and over again.

That Texan fella with the bike might not agree :closed:

Oh I agree, and it did get out of hand, but it didn't stop him/her from being a magnet to all those on the forum who take themselves too seriously.

Additionally Mr Brightside's row with his car was extremely funny.

I was recently offered Psych-K therapy for my 'losing it' moments free of charge. It is supposed to work by returning control of your temper to your conscious mind, instead of your subconscious mind issuing knee-jerk reactions. On the plus side my laptop went flat the other week without my noticing the low power warning, and i had no sudden urge to punch the screen as it cut out on me. The other day i trapped that pointless flap of skin between your thumb and index finger under the corner of my toolbox, and had no urge to hit the side of the toolbox; it belongs to me so i could have done but just didn't for some reason. I'm not totally cured though, today i was fuming for ages because of the size of the queue in the canteen and i have not yet forgiven the staff for persistently putting ham in my cheese toasties when i have specified cheese only. What is your opinion on Psych-K Chris?

Brilliant!!! I love the way contradictions are exposed, very quickly, on the forum. Anyway his name as we both know Derby is.........Lancey boy.

Ehhhhh Adam, has that 'stubborn as a goat,' attitude not dwindled with age? Hasn't with me. By the way did you ever resolve the gamblers fallacy?
