Actually - that's a lie. We had one of our very rare altercations
and you lost the plot. You went into your emotional incontinence mode where you tend to do stupid things (without ever learning any lessons).You sent a message blatantly threatening me with violence - not from your keyboard warrior self, ohh no, Heaven forbid! "My mates will get you" stuff. A thing you've previous form for. I reported it to Admin, something you've done yourself on several occasions, including here. The usual hypocrisy. The outcome - against my expressed wishes on several occasions - was banning you. A significant part of that decision I know was your long history of obnoxiousness. You'd alienated a lot of regular posters and driven several members away, including a forum sponsor. You'd been warned earlier to moderate your posts, or else. Your twatogram to me became the or else. Your bizarre view that you're actually quite a popular guy (delusional), who's been unfairly victimised, fits in entirely with your grudge based, simmering resentment, which appears in many of your posts.
Like many, I tried for years to have reasonable discussions with you but anybody who's disagreed with your views will understand when I say that it's totally pointless. You are absolutely never a reasonable person and I can't believe that you're blind to how much resentment you've tended to generate. Early on I'd thought it was a case that you just couldn't give a shit. Now though I believe that you actually enjoy it. It makes you feel special. The centre of attention and an "outside the box" man.
RW. I posted the OP because I thought it an interesting article. Not really expecting it to generate controversy. It details a lot of - fatally consequential - ordinary people heroism. What I didn't allow for - and you would think I'd know better after all this time - was the gallant Hood, galloping in to defend his beloved Russia against any hint of criticism. That'll teach me.
Pyro. I've watched you having heated arguments with several members of this forum. None of which I've gotten involved in. All I can say is the blindingly obvious. Reading and commenting upon threads isn't mandatory. You have the option not to. Perhaps you might just trust me when I say that Hood has caused a lot of grief over the years. For that I am his self appointed and persistent nemesis, on behalf of all those he's "shot down" and as long as I am able I will continue to be so. He once told me that a certain people know how to hold a grudge more than anybody on the planet. He was wrong. Hopefully, he now realises that his initial, off-forum, act of spite against me was a black day.
RH. We've been engaged for what must be 10 years now (no card!
). I have a confession to make. I looked at your previous couple of posts and thought........................... naahhh. Another TLDR for you to rack up. You really do need to learn to precis your insults. I doubt I was the only one in that respect either. I'm sure it's all very interesting stuff though. 
Back then, a simple apology - or even an expression of regret - coupled with a handshake would have settled it all. RH though is a proud man and would never stoop so low. Instead the call of the forum and inevitability of our locking horns proved too much for him and of course it all went ballistic - as it was so obviously going to. I truly regret that but have no intention of doing what so many others he has upset have done - quitting. I am - as they say - his worst nightmare!
