It seems pretty clear that there's as much obsession with you as here is with Trump.

The focus on the personalities - you're at is as well - rather than the topic, does the forum no favours at all and is boring af. 

Yes, I am at it as well sometimes, but not as frequently. There are plenty of snarky posts that I don’t bother to respond to. You have a go back at people who have a pop at you too. It’s only natural. I agree that is is boring but it has been going on this forum since it started so it will never change, no matter who posts on here.

As for the ridiculous assertion that the number of posts equates to a level of attention seeking. Apparently the biggest poster on here by far is Turkish with 53k plus followed in second place by hypochondriac with 43k plus. 

Perhaps it is true after all 🤔

Mate, I'm not remotely interested in the detail, and raising it now is daft. Your perpetual flirting with Turkish and others interests only you and them. For the rest of us it's boring af, but it seems to drag on across multiple threads. Each to their own, but posting about the topic rather than the posters would be nice.

Agreed, especially if you just don't get Turkish's schtick. Every time you (SOG) respond to him you have lost.

The Minnesota National Guard are now engaged, not quite how you might think.

Fair point. It’s not so much him though as I know how much he craves the attention. It is more those who move in his orbit.

Ok, but maybe make to that point to the others as well?

Behave. I'm not refereeing your daft squabbles.

For those not acquainted with his work, this is by a guy named Cold War Steve who produces political satire in the form of collages. I think you can find his work on X.

It's true, i crave attention. It's why i've started numerous threads about myself, made up stories about lunch dates with people who back up my opinion on here, exaggerated my career achievements, shared numerous personal details including my level of debt and refused benefit applications and angrily launch tirades of abuse and name calling against anyone who doesnt agree with me. It's because i want attention,

But he doesn't crave the attention - that's the point. He enables discussions and can direct those discussions anyway he wants because he knows those that don't get it will get involved.

He is literally a brilliant wind-up - a proper pro.

Ooof...I'm back over to the US at the end of March to "clear out my locker", but really glad I didn't arrange it at the moment.

Turkish takes a wrong turn going to the shops in Boston, and runs into some ICE problems...

You're a Yorkshire man these days, surely that's like a mid summer's day to you.

I think I'd go sooner rather than later.
