  • He used a determined [ly ] provocative nym / sig and paid the price for the notoriety he sought and received.

    When you are in a hole stop digging is good advice, perhaps if he offered a very substantially laundered alternative sig instead of 5 subsequent days of spewing angry green bile into the eyes of those who moderate this group.

    As you say old hands disregarded the sig, but his very bucolic and central conceit full of expressed prejudice circumnavigating the wishes of those in power was only ever going to be a short rehearsal for the inevitable.

    100% agree, it wasn't asininity's nym / sig in general but his sig line in the particular, it was clear that 100's of people were going to complain.

    ' Be careful of what you wish for, you may just have your wish granted ' just about sums up the whole debacle .

  • Do you have anything useful to add to the thread Brenda ?

    - cut-n-paste mechanics, trolls & spelling police, incapable of following a thread without going off on an unrelated tangent contribute absolutely nothing.

    - now then Brenda, do you know what his sig line was ?

    Have a nice day Brenda, the sun is nice, enjoy the day :)

    If writing what he did, in his signature (which has since been censored) got him banned, are you now expecting somebody to quote it to you on here?

    :wall:

    Of course not Brenda, I well remember his sig line, I'm sure hundreds of others do also. It didn't bother me, you or others but clearly it did, as it was always intended to, provoke others !

    Now before I use up all the worlds commas apostrophe's and full stops I'm going to get some of that [ vitamin D ] sunshine on my old shoulders, it always [ Glen Campbell I think ] makes me happy ! :)
