Are you trying to ruin the prose competition for everyone by spamming up this thread? If I was a newcomer to RHP and saw all of this nonsense I would be more than hesitant to enter.

This is not a two-way stree s for being so goddamn selfish, Bobby. You're becoming more of a pariah with each passing day.
Russ & Chris anticipated member causes and crusades. Specialized forums have been provided for specific topics, discussions, competitions, etc. GF accomodates general topic conversation. Sole purpose of my post in Tim's thread was to ask two simple questions. Simple answer would have eliminated any digression. Enjoy reading your well written opinions, despite the excessive subjectivity.

The problem is, when any normal person either got the answer (as hopscotch provided) or realised he wasn't getting an answer, he'd stop posting in a thread he had no interest in contributing to. Unless he was trolling.

Facts, though often bothersome, are also useful. Hop provided the answer to the questions I asked Tim, several pages later on page 3, post 1. Page 3, post 2 my brief thanks. Next came Tim's post calling me an 'idiot'. Page 3, post 5 my copy and paste of an excerpt from RHP Posting Guidelines. Subsequently Tim's 'idiot' post was removed by a forum moderator on duty. Page 3, post 6 Tim's 'obtuse' remark. Page 3, post 7 my reply. Page 3, post 8 Hop's criticism in support of Tim. Page 3, post 11 my reply with 'Thanks again'. Page 3, post 15 Sunburnt's off topic 'sucker' remark to Tim. Page 4, post 1 my 'be kind' to Tim reply. Page 4, post 2 Tim's gb 'bloke' remark. Page 4, post 4 my reply. Page 4, post 5 Hand of Hecate's 'ignorant mongrol' remark. Page 4, post 6 my reply. Page 4, post 7 'herpes' remark from HOH. Page 4, post 8 my reply. Page 4, post 9 'old fool' remark by HOH. Page 4, post 10 my reply. Page 4, post 11 'breathing room' remark by Starrman. Page 4, post 12 my reply. Page 4, post 13 'Goddamn selfish' paragraph from Hopscotch. Page 4, post 15 my courteous reply. Next, "The problem is, when any normal person either got the answer (as hopscotch provided) or realised he wasn't getting an answer, he'd stop posting in a thread he had no interest in contributing to. Unless he was trolling." from Starrman.

As I commented to Hop, earlier this morning, "Sole purpose of my post in Tim's thread was to ask two simple questions. Simple answer would have eliminated any digression." Reflect on the hard reality. Quite impossible to have a conversation all by yourself.

Ah. If I say you're wilfully obtuse, does that make you feel better?

Anyway. Enough with the trolling.

It's clear you've no interest in participating.


Meaningless word modification, rampant subjectivity and unbridled feelings are so

inconsequential. Facts and principles matter. As to participation, I haven't decided.

Just encouraging you not to give up your campaign to become a complete outcast. You're doing fine.

There you go again, Tim, asking 'do you still beat your wife' imbedded false premise questions for the lulz. A simple,

'Hope you compete' would have been quite enough to place your earnest thread back on track. You chose otherwise.

Considering your behavior during last year's prose competition - for which cft gave you an honest chance - are you really surprised that your alleged interest is met with defensiveness? As with last year, you demonstrate no real interest in the competition so much as a desire to be a nuisance. Kind of like a two-year-old as soon as mommy gets on the phone, huh?

At some point, children learn that the world does not revolve around them. I am truly sorry that for whatever reason, your parents didn't impart that message to you. I know it's more difficult to internalize as an adult when you've been living your whole life thinking everyone's waiting to hear from you, but please make the effort.

What a load of rubbish. Don't pretend for one instance that you're the innocent guy just replying to posts as people interact with him. You're an attention seeking troll, you could have had the foresight to end your reply conveyor belt whenever you wanted by simply stating that you haven't decided whether you're going to take part or not, as an addendum to any of the posts you've made.
