He's not that bad.

His language in the post regarding the 427 was inappropriate but in all truth he is a poster that is more easy to wind than wind others in my opinion. Not that I troll on here too much

He's pretty bad in his private messages and that's the problem. His entertainment value is lessened after receiving a PM from him

Thats a classic internet misogynist.

All the nasty stuff is via PM, so the lads who are reading the public posts cab't see what the problem is.

In his defence, he was quoting, or misquoting, me.

This

Followed by a sort of apology that he can then claim you were too uppity to accept.

I'm not easily offended but he was the pits

I never got a PM from him in either of his guises. I am feeling left out.

Be glad. Be very, very glad.

I thought he was colchar.

We have been missing the sort of maverick posters who spiced things up a bit...the man who wanted to bring a yurt...never forgetting the parrot, and various others that quickly took offense in a dramatic fashion.

I too was PM'd by UR and it wasn't pleasurable.

I had a couple of replies via PM from him when I suggested, via PM, that he tone down the personal details of his situation with his spouse as he was sharing too many details related to his upcoming divorce and that his spouse would probably not want to read if she knew his BE posting history. I found him to be quite reasonable with that and I believe he took the advice to heart.

<sniggers in a juvenile fashion>

Ahh, the parrot. That was BE at it's finest.

The misogyny of UR's public posts was offensive enough. I can't imagine what his PM's were like. For that reason alone, the board is better off without him.

Nah, too polite.

Was Colchar banned?

I think his self-indignation got the better of him.
