The conspiracy theorist in me thought that perhaps he was having that removed as it hardly fits with trashing the entire place if you were only just using it for research and help with a project. But it's still there.
I thought about this too when we got first kicked out.

I just though, what an cheeky fuck for asking for our help and using the Forum for research and then doing this, that is of course unless he got some bum answers! :hehe:

Quite frankly I get the shivers at the thought of any kind of rebellion, full stop.

Hey! Half_Cut, Fallible and Im_With_Stupid got mentioned by name! Well done! :clap:
Forum posters who evidently have very little life outside the forum – extremely prolific “contributors” who have chosen names such as “Half_Cut”, “Fallible” and “Im_With_Stupid” for themselves – can barge out more occasional posters who do have lives, by insisting on very low standards in their clique. Other posters, rude, coarse individuals, the “voluntarily unemployed” are also free to unload streams of f-words for no good reason except that they feel it makes them look clever – and they will find themselves in majority company.
I'm one of the rude, coarse, voluntarily unemployed ones. I think I feel like saying "fuck" now, because it makes me look clever. Here goes:

Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Is it just me or does anyone else get a tingling in their pants at the thought of a good online rebellion?!
Many people would would be delighted to get a tingling anywhere on their body for any reason.

Congratulations! You have reached the requisite low level of standards which I apparently INSIST on in MY clique. Others of you need to do some work on that. Get back to me when you think you qualify, and I will vet you. No addmittance to my clique otherwise.

The really funny thing is that, generally speaking, I hardly ever swear. The expletives employed at RDF were a tool, as per Rule# 3. Normally, I'm as gentle as a lamb.
