Still no comment on why go on to the bastard neighbours thread just to react/garner a reaction from a poster

I didn't realise you wanted a comment.

I didn't go there to troll.

I was experiencing noise from a neighbour. Realised that my initial reaction was to be a bit miffed, then processed that reaction and realised that my neighbour was enjoying his hobbies, like I enjoy mine. It made me think of the Bastard Neighbours thread and I went there to post my experience and see how people might respond to it.

UG responded. I responded. Shit escalated. I ignored him and the thread. He flounced. You asked for a comment. I am commenting.

Believe it or not. I don't give a flying fuck.

If it was trolling, it wasn't intentional.

It made me think of the BN thread

Don't bring me into it!

Sorry. I'll edit.

Would quite like to stop being dragged into the "trolled the depression thread" comments. When the level of "trolling" wasn't anything other than "hello world".

You fuck one sheep....

to rig online polls at 40 votes per minute

This is one thing I don't know a thing about.

Anyone want to own up to doing this?

Can we have tags back?

Ban hammer?

It categorically wasn't me.

I can barely write code for work.

I think you may have misjudged how relevent you are. Hint, you are not the centre of a conspiracy to oust you, you're just a bit of a prick.

Can we have tags back?

Yes!

I accept pull requests to github.com/microcosm-cc/microcosm and github.com/microcosm-cc/microweb

Is it possible to have tags for everyone except people that asked for tags?

I don't remember saying anything of the sort. Given you've used quotation marks, indicating it's a direct quotation, I'm sure you'll have no difficulty pointing me to the post you're referring to so I can refresh my memory.

I think it was Mashton. When he wasn't trolling.

Possibly. If that is what the Flouncemeister is referring to, it's still a grotesque misrepresentation of what was actually said.

fancy that

I'm as shocked and surprised as you are.

It's weird nosing around this place again after the hiatus. Was it me that started the 'Unconditional Love' thread? Rings a bell, despite being out of character – except not, because I'm all over the place, as most people came to realise.

I know I was dickish on many occasions, probably not offset by the helpful/caring/funny/interested posts. Sorry about that. I realised it had all become too diffuse and conventional for my tastes by about 2010, so I eventually did a global ignore rather than hanging around whingeing in increasingly demented tones. I've come to depend on the same strategy IRL when sunk in a trough of despair/misanthropy: disengage until it passes. Otherwise it's like sitting in your car moaning about the traffic. I don't have a car. I still think fixed gear bicycles are the bestest.

There's probably some analogy to be made about the nature of the forum based on its provenance. Something about seeking connection through a singular vision. Something about simplicity. Something about suffering. I'm glad it was my introduction to the world of social media. I did inhale.

Is this a long-winded way of saying a). you were the alias, and b). you rigged the poll?

So there was a bit of no0b bashing bitd, big deal

Never4get Teenslain vs Hatbeard (I hope it goes in the book)

Personally I'm struggling to comprehend many things about this whole situation. Most of all I'm struggling to understand why once the wobbly has been thrown and toys are well and truly ejected from the pram what kind of mentality it takes to lurk in order to read the inevitable fallout from said wobbly then write a lengthy diatribe about why everyone who isn't sad to see the back of you is a cunt.

It's reminiscent of the "hilarious" situation that crops up in movies where people conspire to attend their own funeral.

Either that or Reginald Perrin.

Edit I can't figure out how post .gifs oh well.

What happened? Did they fuck?

Missionary so they could look each other in the eyes.

Trust @amey to take things to a weird and uncomfortable place.
