**** this. Is that **** back again? I only said all those pleasant things because I thought it was some sort of obituary. It seemed like the right thing to do for the Bear's family members; in case they come here looking for solace after his passing. On a more serious note, has anyone seen the Bear's "yo" / "yos" ? It seems he left them behind in the sabbatical. Suspicious? Just who is this poster with the name Bearsy? By studying the language "he" used before the ban and comparing it to his post-ban language, in my hilarious opinion they are not the same person. How do we know for sure that this poster called "Bearsy" isn't just JustMike zipped inside a Bear costume - infiltrating the forum to coerce us all into inappropriate, "funeral touching" gag bans? Perhaps it's JustMike and St Chalet zipped inside the same Bear suit. One the brains - the other the ****? OK "Bearsy" prove you're the Bear we know and abhor.

None taken papster. Wikipedia, copy and paste are your friends pap.

No Toke, that's Pat; my evil, gay, Jewish, apostatic twin. I've got a feeling that brother Pat may also grow to become offended by the term fatwā.

Now you're talking SNSUN; the lovely Kirsty and her wonderful Arts. If you keep posting pictures of intelli-totty like that SNSUN, I'm going to have to go for a quick wa*k.

Where are you going to walk to Spudgun? I'm going to walk along the Itchen to Winchester. Can't wait.

To celebrate I'm going to have a nice, long, slow wa*k.

It's true Toke, I have bated(sic) a few masters in my time. I'd to defy anyone to get through Buggers Week at my exclusive and expensive boarding school with bating the odd master. Let alone a quirkishly attractive 11 year old with a foppish fringe.

I'm in. As long as I can be Purdey.

Thanks pap. Can I clarify something? Is your inner circle, just above and behind your inner thigh?

WiFi's fine Toke, I'm pushing out ~60dB wall to wall good buddy. Truth is, I 'lost' my mouse. Each night I'd leave it a little cheese for all the hard work it had done during the day. The staff at the St. Shipman's Home for the Incurably Tedious took it off me. Said all that cheese was a health hazard to the other inmates. You can't beat a piece of overly mature Gorgonzola. Plus I've had a lot of work on.

I couldn't decide whether to doze off or be physically sick. Try to keep your posts shorter Toke, some people find it BOR-ING. But it wasn't the length of the post as much as the sickly, saccharine-sweet, preachy "Toke with morals" that got me. It was like watching an endless loop of the moralistic epilogues from the Cosby Show and Different Strokes. As for intimating that I am Bear...You've got me. I wondered how long it would take people to catch on to it. I thought my schizophrenia would help me avoid detection. Was it the thread about my itchy arse that gave it away Toke?

I'm not going to join in the collective kicking of 'The Mods', but I do have to flag a couple of points here St Chalet. Firstly, I'm guessing that you felt that the Bear's comments were in bad taste, and I'd struggle to disagree with you, so you removed the post and infracted the Bear. Why did you then feel it was OK to reproduce the same infraction-worthy post verbatim on this thread? What had stopped it being in such bad taste that it resulted, even by the totting up procedure, in a ban for one of the most popular posters? If we're to be told what we can and can't read and form opinions on, then surely this sort of corrupting content should be kept away from us here too? My tongue is firmly in my cheek as I type this St Chalet, but I hope my point stands. If it was that bad that it warranted an infraction, how can it be right to post it here? Can you self-infract? Secondly, I suspect you posted it here because you wanted to justify the infraction and show Bear as someone who pushed the boundary of humour too far. Seeing humour in the aftermath of the death of an ex-player is pretty raw for some. For my sins, I tittered when I read it, and pretty instantly admonished myself for laughing. By posting it here, I'm sure many people will have done the same. Like me they've probably also had the chance to reflect and might have decided that given the rules of the site and the fact that moderators are the sole feedback mechanism and arbiter of right and wrong, they can see why you did what you did. That said, English would have to be your second language to not see the almost apologetic way in which the Bear tagged that pun on the end. He'd passed on his best wishes first, albeit accompanied by his customary "whatever", and he had suggested in the pun that he acknowledged that now might not be the best time to make that pun. Now the Bear is not the article-dropping, gerund-loving language arse that he purports to me. This was him, trying, as gently as he could, to not miss the open goal opportunity that the OP obviously unwittingly provided. Wrong? Probably. Hate-filled trashing of a fallen ex-player? No. I'd propose, as pap has suggested, that you discuss a new approach to moderation with the other members of the team, and look for a way for 'us' to do more of the policing of this site. If you had had the time to watch that thread for a while and observe the reaction, I'm guessing that it might have quickly gone off-topic and that was probably your rationale for taking the action you did. But imagine a forum where we allowed people to admonish Bearsy and push him to remove or edit his post and perhaps even apologise. Imagine a forum that sees reputation points as the currency of status and not post count. Imagine if we had each reacted negatively and removed reputation points from the Bear, what would his reaction have been? Imagine if that sort of peer pressure meant something on here, instead of feeling helpless and waiting, often in vain, for the Mods to intervene. And if all else fails, and the community has failed to police its own, then the moderators step in. I'd confidently predict that such a forum would give you each less to do, help to remove those edge-case posts, and it would bring in more curry-buying fivers. I apologise for using The Muppet Show as a surrogate Site Suggestions thread, but I noticed that you were monitoring the thread. Please take this in the spirit of constructive criticism.

I though it only right that I should use a thread dedicated to one of the fallen to remind everyone how clever I think I am. By the way, the rhyme and metre in that song was appalling. You listen to some odd music Toke. I think we should organise a suicide spamming squad. With the promise of eternal paradise spent in the company of 72 attentive virgins (all male, all geeky and bespectacled), we lure, sorry encourage Bearsy acolytes to head over to the lounge and the main board carrying a rucksack of rhetoric where they argue, goad, antogonise and swear themselves into eternal bliss...on not606.com. I reckon there must be at least 72 virgins on not606.com. Perhaps more. Anyway, they take a ban for the Bear and therefore bring the full injustice of his demise to the attention of the masses. I'll stay behind to organise it all. I mean, I liked him, but a fiver's a fiver. What do you think?

How touching; he's waiting for you. Go Toke and remember us fondly. http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/212086-Bearsy-s-Saintsweb-Refugee-Thread-Yo!?

People of SaintsWeb, I'm sure I speak for 17% of us when I say that today is a sad day for SaintsWeb. Perusing SaintsWeb this morning and knowing that I'm not going to be confronted by an errant "yo" or crime against the plural is pretty difficult to take. Moderation on this forum must ask itself some pretty tough questions if we can be robbed of a poster the like of Bearsy. So come on mods. It's a stark choice between tumbleweed or tw*ts. I've never had my infraction sphincter stretched by the mods' punishment penis, so I speak from a virginal and purely academic perspective, but I'd always thought that I'd simply enjoy the beautiful silence when the ADHD-twins - Bearsy and Tokyo-Saint received their inevitable bans for foul-mouthed or childish rants. I suppose that I thought that I might come to reflect on whether it'd better to have this place all to myself so that "What are you reading?" in the Arts’ Forum starts to rival the Pompey Takeover Saga thread, or whether it wouldn't be so bad having the odd tw*t around here with me after all. But now I find myself conflicted. I’m wondering; is it better to watch tumbleweed being pulled and tugged lazily along the deserted SaintsWeb streets by the winds of Meh, or would it be better to look down on those selfsame streets from my veranda of pretension and see thronging crowds of belching, farting, fornicating, pontificating, penis-measuring funsters? Hmm. It’s a tough call. I mean, imagine if this place became BletchWorld. Where all of my interests and fantasies are played out daily by….well just me in fact. You see, whilst it’s a stimulating thought, and I’m ‘literally’ mentally ovulating right now thinking about it, it can never be right that this place becomes the plaything of the prosaic. As much as it pains me to say it, the likes of the Bear and Toke make this place - it belongs to the tw*ts. As long as no laws are broken and that if moral boundaries are crossed, we, as a Muppet society simply hold up a

Good point, and I'm certainly not suggesting that it had been applied with consistency. It might gave been a crock of s***, but it was at least a fairer crock of s***.

Nice idea trousers, but you'd get an artificial comparison between students in different years - unless of course they all sat the same paper year after year. But I can see problems with that approach.... We need another layer to interpret results in the context of ever-changing syllabuses and different exam boards offering different questions and marking schemes. So Johnny might have scored 78% in 2010 before the nice Mr. Gove instructed the teaching profession and exam boards to place holism in the green bin next to the teacher's desk. In 2014, Johnny, who is otherwise bright and intelligent, but struggles with exams, might not do so well.

Your seriousness wasn't the infractable crime here. It was your dullness. This is the most boring thread I've ever seen. Ever. And I know my boring threads Toke as I've started or contributed to more of them than you've had hot sashimi (not a euphemism). Hang your slightly odd looking head in shame.

Thanks for the good wishes socal saint. PC certainly does ransack one's dignity. I mean, I've just release several arcs of liquid silk from the fleshy nozzle of my fork, totally involuntarily. And with all that nasal mewkass about, I don't know whether I'm coming or blowing. BTW the bear's aroused state should scare you, even if you live on the other side of the world. I hear his libido torpedo is long-range - if you get my gist. The bear's reviews were a stain on this forum. I found them voyeuristic and unedifying. I only read every single word of them so that I could more accurately judge just how much I disapproved. Just wait for my review of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies in the Arts Forum - when I've got a mo'. That's what this forum should be about; 16th century historical fiction spiced up with the odd cunny, c**t and quim. We don't need a bunch of bear groupies stroking his engorged and elongated ego, while reading over his should as he tries to prise the love-gloyed pages apart. Disgusted from Hampshire

That's possibly the nicest things anyone's ever said about me Toke. I'm not too proud to say that you've almost made me moist. But put away the boredom bunting, I'm not going to be posting regularly again for a while. I've got a new client in our nation's capital and I'm doing some serious hours at the moment. I know you miss me. It's almost reciprocated. But it's ok, there are other people that can bore you and fill your day with edifying ennui. Now if you'll forgive me, I've got a bear sycophant to bait. "Please bear, will you talk about men's wobbly dangles again? Please bear, describe a woman's humid fufu for me. Oh bear, you're so clever and erudite and, and, and, and when you talk about a lady's critterous, I get a tingle in my wee wee pipe." socal saint, you should be ashamed of yourself! This site should be encouraging proper literature reviews, by proper reviewers and through the proper offices of the Arts' forum. We certainly don't need an ursine erotomaniac without the requisite controls of his plural. So please don't feed the bear. He just gets aroused, and when he's aroused I have it on good authority that he types with his left hand, be-gloved in a waterproof mink glove, and in his right hand he holds a bag of warm liver (calf's).

Sorry son, I mean Toke. My absence has had nothing to do with Milton - neither the poet nor the question mark skate. I've actually found myself struck down with a severe case of prestadidwick's congena. And I mean severe. It's made me weep like a teased vagina.

I can't quite decide. Either... Destination Tokyo Or 30 Seconds Over Tokyo No wonder you're in therapy. Sorry son.

There will be blood.

Bearsy? Wasn't he the one that was a closet racist? Liked fox hunting and fine antiques? Or am I getting him mixed up? Which one was Bearsy again?

Bearsy. Not gone, but forgotten.
