if you really want to provoke the same response Gramps gets, you'll need a protracted history of clogging page one with six or seven threads at a time, tireless self-promotion, a bottomless well of self-pity, unending snide shots at other posters, a willingness to engage in smarmy cozying up to anyone who offers even the slightless semblance of support, and ...[text shortened]... many hours here it was clear you didn't have a life outside RHP.
good luck with that.
cover your mouth and one nostril if or whenever you're suffering from hyperventilation.

"a playful experiment, less disorganized than sort of casually methodical... a gut sense plausibility index involved."

The post that was quoted here has been removedI think that was the point...that users react to the *same* threads differently, depending on who posts them.
For a lot of people, GB lost credibility because they perceive him as a troll and now have a sort of knee-jerk reaction to his threads, even if they would have found a couple of them alright when posted by another user.
Originally posted by Raven69Right on, Raven69. With equivalent acid objectivity, what in simple terms = a troll

@cft obviously we react different to different people... because they're generally different. but in this case with me posting gb's threads it showed what is pretty obvious when you think about it... without the negatives surrounding gb's threads and the criticisms that they get, plus fighting that follows they either die pretty quickly or go on for a few pages mostly while staying on topic (normal gf style).
have a look at the last few gb threads and tell me without the negative comments what would happen to these threads?
