It's quite obviously someone from here pissing about, or a very active lurker. The rather un-subtle way we had a thread about there being no trolls and suddenly a troll pops up.

And I bet it's not hard for the mods to work it out, what with each poster's IP address being logged...

I'm fairly sure it's not me though.

It's Meow. The mods know it. I'm just not sure why they're letting him spam this junk into random threads.

I missed a trick then - how did you work that out?

HGFB · Post by **HGFB** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 8:26 pm 0

I didn't work it out. People with access to all the information worked it out.

Where has this spam been then?

*Edit:

I perceive little difference between the content of shillyshalley's posts and that of my own (when I'm not being serious). Does that make me a spammer or does an idiosyncratic writing style transform a post into spam?

Why are the crazies allowed on the Internet? I have to put up with them at school.

Can we have an "ignore user" mod installing please? Getting bored of the spam and stupid posts now. It was better in the olden days before people started falling out with each other and going mental in public.

This isn't an argument
Yes it is
No it isn't
Yes it is

That's how any discussion I (or anyone else) will have with you on this issue will go so I'm not going to bother. I like you Harl. You're a good laugh but I'm not going to fall out with you over this.

Perhaps not spam, but utter fucking drivel designed to irritate.

The fact that it would be LESS effort for this fucking retard to post like a normal human being speaks volumes.

Perhaps the distinction between statements of, "yes it is[n't]" and the asking of questions is a little too subtle.

Ahh... the art of asking questions.

... and the subtle art of "having the last word"

Considering that this is spilling over into accusatory arguments on and off-forum, generally winding people up the wrong way and spoiling otherwise pleasant days all round I think it's fair to say this has gone far enough.

Shilley_Shalley, masquerade or not, please just go away or begin contributing something of worth to the forum. So far you've only succeeding in hurting the feelings of people that could otherwise have had a normal and carefree day. At first I thought you were a rather intelligent bot, now I consider you to be an irritiating thorn in an otherwise comfortable foot. It's a reputation of your own making and it serves no useful purpose to anyone here. The power to change it is in your own hands. I suggest using it before more exclusive practices are used by the moderators.

Harlequin, you're defensiveness is admired but may be construed annoying when frustrations are running ragged in others. That's just an observation that I hope you will permit me to make, I don't think anyone has any grievance with yourself in whatever guise.

As I wrote above, I find the content of shillyshalley's posts similar to that of my usual ones. What happened to being able to insert playful or jokey comments into threads without fear of being labelled a spammer?

Am I being defensive?

The attitudes of others over this are actually annoying me enormously to the point of tears. That is not due to shillyshalley's posts but to the ganging up on somebody just because they have chosen an unusual writing style, and to the reactions of people to my posing an alternative perspective.

Possibly, but whatever happened to the concept of Netiquette?

You wouldn't walk into a quiet local pub and start with the:
