    That's geneer's fallback position when shouting insults at the internet doesn't work. I remarked upon it the other day:
    Oh dear, my barb must have stuck home, geneer has now abandoned his favoured "I'm stuck so I'll shout insults at the internet to hide the fact" tactic and is now using his playground "No, you are" tactic.

    Web addicts have brain changes, research suggests

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-16505521
    Internet addiction is a clinical disorder marked by out-of-control internet use

    Diagnostic criteria for internet addiction
    • Do you feel preoccupied with the internet?
    • Do you feel the need to use the internet with increasing amounts of time in order to achieve satisfaction?
    • Have you repeatedly made unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back or stop internet use?
    • Do you feel restless, moody, depressed, or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop internet use?
    • Do you stay online longer than intended?
    • Have you jeopardized or risked the loss of a significant relationship, job, educational or career opportunity because of the internet?
    • Have you lied to family members, a therapist or others to conceal the extent of involvement with the internet?
    • Do you use the internet as a way of escaping from problems or of relieving a distressed mood (eg feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety and depression)?
    Participants answering yes to questions 1 to 5 and at least one more answer were classed as suffering from Internet Addiction Disorder


    It's you lot they're talking about. I'm fine.

    Jonny Jonny Jonny, it wasn't just a "no your are moment".
    I was in fact drawing attention to the fact that repossesion man had dropped a bit of a clanger.
    See our resident Einstein had produced a "cartoon" that both invalidated his original usage, as well as completely missing the point of the joke.
    In other words a double own goal

    Clearly Renovation man has realised this, because he's only gone back and edited the post (at 4:17 today) claiming
    Last edited by RenovationMan; Today at 4:17 PM. Reason: added 'EDIT' bit for dunce geneer who didn't get the joke.
    Which was all just cover for the deleting of his original backfiring "cartoon" and substituting a new one.

    This would make RenovationMan a bit of liar (and so a hypocrite) whilst highlighting the humiliation and frustration he surely felt.

    I also see that you saw fit to thank this fabricated effort, which probably means you're not the smartest either. :rotfl:

    What did the 1st bunny originally say in his failed effort.

    I have to give it to RenovationMan.
    I thought his "I didn't even read that undeniable evidence" antics was hilarious.

    I thought his "ming the merciless" tactic was comedy cold.
    But his clean up operation is the best yet.

    In fact, I think I will pop back and thank him myself.

    LOL geneer, you're such a dunce!! :rotfl:

    For JB's benefit, clearly not as much of a dunce as you.
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Did you really think you would get away with your little undercover op.

    Its not even that funny of course.
    Whats funny, as always, is that you cared enough to do it.

    geneer talking to himself and quoting his own posts again

    is there any hope for this fella?

    he's like our very own charlie sheen - winning (not)

    What I find interesting is the way he speaks to the 'crowd' as though he believes there are dozens of impartial observers who are quietly watching the 'competition' and choosing who they think is the winner.

    The reality that his feeble mind doesn't seem to grasp is that the only people reading this are the people mocking him at every turn. He's all alone except for the voices in his head.

    geneer is truly bonkers and I'm starting to think it's just getting too damned easy to mock him. :rotfl:

    Oh the peanut gallery is far from impartial repo. And even they dont want much of what you are selling. But you have fun self comforting with the sockie.

    What i find interesting is what you choose to respond to. For example on the subject of your swapping the backfiring cartoon out for something less embarassing whilst lying about the extent of your edit........not a peep.go figure.

    As a proven liar how can we trust anything you say.
    (Isnt that how the song goes).
    Might as well get rid of that sig and replace it with a harry potter novel.

    Gosh, that's quite a stream of (un)conciousness.

    But like you say, it's "the others" who care. :D
