Alan. One day we will perhaps bump into each other. I will buy you a beer/tea/coffee/wine and you can explain to me what a nazi-liberal is. Not on this thread though! Ilkley and Scarborough coming up!

Best leaving Alan to his own devices IMO. I don’t see that he’s doing any particular harm, and it’s not like he’s being seriously disruptive by creating hundreds of new forum threads.

He’s acknowledged on a number of occasions that it’s a form of therapy for him.
Richard, I feel that a friendly suggestion which you made in 2009 would be equally pertinent now:

Ian, just a friendly suggestion.

My idea of how a forum should work is that individual topics set the general parameters for postings to a thread, with a new thread only needed to be started if existing topics don't adequately cover a new posting, or if the postings on a thread begin to depart significantly from the original thread topic.

At the moment you seem to be treating "General Chat" as the topic, with a new thread being started for every new thought, instead of posting to existing threads. Personally i'm not convinced that "British Champion loses in round one" merits even one thread in its own right, let alone the three that have been created.

The effect of creating too many similar threads is to 'crowd' the forum, leaving good threads to continually drop off the bottom, and making it difficult for people follow debates subsequent to postings that they may have made (because they can't remember on what thread they posted).

Regards.

does a real man defeat computers easily, i know i am not a communist (ie self destructive in nature) and I am not a libertarian (self satisfied) but i am am not a conservative(self aware) either which leaves only a liberal or nazi and i am not a nazi-liberals like themselves so much that they love everyone even computers and to love is to give.
i didnt mean 'i am not nazi-liberal' i meant 'i am not nazi. liberals like themselves so much...'

i believe there is a concerted campaign against me i suspect from self destructive communists who dont like my anti-communism
Alan, let me rephrase: I don't believe you're a racist, or rambling, or hijacking the forum. I'm not allowed to say why I think that, but I think the people bullying you can work it out.
you hint at some knowledge chris goodall about me?!?!? i dont know what that could be...please tell me the truth
