I disagree, Nick tries to take an objective view, hovering above us normal mortals, and tries to debate unemotionally, sometimes playing devil's advocate (for sport?) Those who are hard of learning, fixed in an unquestionable viewpoint, can't cope and get nasty, lacking the ability to properly debate the issues. Better known as posturing. What better illustration of my point could I want?

Nick just looks to antagonize, he succeeds and is more often than not rewarded with the response he set out to obtain. Rather like this thread and it's op. I disagree, Nick tries to take an objective view, hovering above us normal mortals, and tries to debate unemotionally, sometimes playing devil's advocate (for sport?) Those who are hard of learning, fixed in an unquestionable viewpoint, can't cope and get nasty, lacking the ability to properly debate the issues. that does not sound like nick from my viewpoint. If he does not get agreement and his arguments are rebutted he quickly becomes a foul mouthed troll (probably ott) shall I put it "he descends into personal attack mode" eta ... not the only one .... but still prominent

From a sheep in Wolfie's clothing? Right on Maaaaan.

I've got the better of nck, he used to think he was winding me up. But now who has to ignore who? I think gazza is a loss to the forum, but Martin himsel had said he was losing interest in the forum. So people move on. There is a world outside of the Internet apparently.

I thought you were all figments of my sordid imagination.
The voices in my head made real.
Nurse, nurse!

To be honest Jim, I tend to pass the majority of your posts by, as I find them a bit silly and humourless, however, I do recognise the fact that you try.

Don't worry I've kidnapped Gaza for a while, he will be released at some point in the future.

gazza disappearing is bad news. it was because he knew you needed help. I meant bad news for the forum. The higher the number of boaters contributing interesting content the more likely the forum is to survive. If it just ends up being a tit for tat arguing site with peoples opinions met with "fuck off" or "you are a prick" its not going anywhere interesting is it ? Just a general observation. I guess people will just drift away to facebook.
