Hey, he was a funny guy, I like his sense of humour, it reminds me of a local story about a man here who used to be patient at the local insane asylum. True story.

Now, the thing with this man, lets call him Mick Delany for want of another name, he was in the asylum, and what he used to do for about an hour every day (and this is true apparently or at least was told to me convincingly) is that he would wheel a wheel barrow around the very nice grounds but upside down. So people used to see him all the time doing this, but just dismissed it because obviously he was a bit of a mentalist. But anyway, one day apparently someone decided to engage Mick on his behaviour and asked him............ "Mick, why do you always wheel the wheelbarrow upside down?"........ And he said, quick as a flash,........ "well shure, if I wheeled it the right way up, wouldn't someone probably come along and ask me to put something in it?" Eh, eh? Maybe he wasn't so mad after all? :wah:

Dont be petty snooze. Try just once to find a higher purpose.

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Sat Dec 30, 2006 10:20 am

Ill just cut to the chase to save you time.

You posted that after I didnt reply to your pm. I guess that made you angry so you tried to find something you thought might hurt me. You were wrong. You cant hurt me. Any affection I had for you, you killed. Much the same way you have systematically eliminated a long line of other members.

Since you killed any geniune feelings I had for you, it doesnt matter what you do. Im not invested in you. Your just someone who happens to be around.

Find another cause, this one is dead.

Heavy sigh. I know I'm gonna bump this back up but I've thought and

thought and THOUGHT about it and I can't keep quiet.

Snooze, I care about you a great deal, but you make it more and more

difficult all the time. I consider myself a very fair minded person. You

do, too, you've said as much to me before.

So I'm asking you... please stop. Please, PLEASE just STOP. I want to

just come here and enjoy your posts and not get that sick feeling in

the pit of my stomach when stuff like this comes up. And before anyone

jumps in, no, DAMMIT... I don't want all fluff all the time. But there's

a difference and I think it's very clear what that difference is.

I'm a big girl, I can take it if this makes you mad at me, but please do

stop and THINK, will ya?

LET IT GO.

Snooze, if there were no back-channel persuasions at third parties to go into threads at key moments and kick up a storm at someone - you know, the concert-party approach to bulletin boards - you'd have far fewer problems. You find it fun to participate in and occasionally manage, that's just your warped version of humour and a low boredom threshold. I'll tell you a secret, though - it's bloody transparent whenever it happens. A masterclass thread from you on how to conduct an online vendetta would be instructive.

You might look and see who did the roping. Nomad didn't start this thread and he deleted the comment you claim is calling you out. His choice to delete shows agreement with you. The text was reposted by snooze in defiance of Nomad's apparent better sense.

So your tuppence worth doesn't get you very far.You want to know the funniest part? "Elouise" and I were daggers drawn from first sight and stayed that way, and I'd done everything I knew to keep her and her buddies from discovering ForumGarden for months, to the extent of getting another FG member's posts on Elouise's home forum edited by their author to remove back-reference URLs to ForumGarden from her posts. If you ask her nicely she might even confirm what I say. Elouise turned up solely because her RL dentist friend BigDumbSwede had been misidentified when he joined here and was being shockingly persecuted by people who should have known better. I hate accepting coincidences at face value but that really was one. It wasn't trollery at all. As, on reflection, is the case with most things which get the word applied. The word's far more trouble than it's worth.

And does anyone bother to read your gibberish? Christ on a rope, you're tedious!

Thank you Snooze, yes they do, partly because it's so well thought out and partly because I'm careful with my grammar. And yes I have despite its inapplicability to my presence here, so many times that it has become a boring and easily ignored mantra.

At least I'm only tedious rather than malignant.

Oh... eta: I want to marry a hyena? You've never been accused of trolldom? Even after the wikipedia definition got posted?
