I’ve not pointed someone out on f2f. Why do you feel the need to respond ?
Seriously, you’re asking me to be coherent?
Your post regarding that contemptuous bollox was an attempt at mystery and intrigue with the “revelations” comment.
Why do I feel the need to respond? Because its a forum and you opened the discussion. If you don’t want a response, then don’t post.
For clarity…
I shared views with Cynicaloldgit, but his presence on the forum was in the end, toxic. His online persona was at best irritating, at worst insulting.
You were/are part of his disciples group. Thats all fine and good, knock yourself out.
But bringing a banned member to lunch will raise the odd hackle or query. I’m sure you understand that? Coherent enough?

I never saw that.
He was clearly very depressed and probably quite lonely, but his online schtick was, indeed, often tiresome, and a shield behind which he was frequently rude and abusive. A lot of it was just boring. How often can you say ‘people are fuckwits’ before you find a new catchphrase?
He was right about neoliberalism, but did that excuse the rest? Probably not.
He had his faithful few that pandered to his nonsense.

Can’t we just let it rest though?
Human beings are complicated. And while I like him (but he annoyed me too to the point where I told him to fuck off, several times, but eh), many others can’t stand him . I understand this and respect this. I was a bit distraught when he was banned and also voiced that (I also realise that I had and probably have, blind spots due to being too fascinated by what I regarded as “role playing”), but in retrospect, he did kind of suicide into that ban, which I think he knows well himself. But it’s done and dusted.
I don’t think it’s particularly fruitful to debate the human errors, percieved and real, of people who are no longer here though. He is not here to defend himself after all.

@Quicksand This was no criticism of your first post to Sithbare. I understand that reaction very well indeed, given the conspiratorical tone he had.
Just a wish in general for the future, so that it doesn’t become an eternal thing.
I get you, 100%.
To be honest, the @Sithbare post was designed to elicit an answer.
His comment on my coherence was insulting.
Considering his posts in the exchange.

Yeah, I don’t disagree at all. But I must be careful to remain objective, so would rather not discuss him. Everyone and their little dog, knows that I have some issues with him. It’s no secret, but I try to avoid interaction.

Was COG banned? Assumed he had taken it upon himself to avoid the place?

Agree with this 
And no, I’m not about to go over the references made about me in my absence. Not again, at any rate.

Looks like he last posted at the end of June. He lives in Scotland, so it’s possible he’s just been on holiday. I expect we will see a few returning faces when the season starts.

i heard he left because he got pissed off at threads going off topic,
If this is true?
does it mean that threads going of topic was big a NO NO for him,
but jokes aimed at a 6 year kid with disabilities are fine,
interesting…
No idea about that.
I can’t believe TAN has moved to a distopian automated ‘off topic’ message culler. Mods you will be out of a job and end up down here with us peasants living in fear of having our posts deleted - rise up while you still can!
