@FMF - He wanted to draw those he saw as the best among the more prolific General Forum posters away from the forum
At the time the club was formed, I was not considered a prolific poster in the GF,
and I was considered a controversial poster in the debates, yet I was invited to join and have enjoyed it ever since.
If GoaD had such motives as to why he opened the Ghost Chamber as you say, it is still his prerogative, and I must tell you, it's great being in a forum where 2/3's of the threads do not always end with a VR snipe at someone. The man is constantly arguing no matter the thread he is in. Who needs it?
So much for that.
And it did surprise me to see you and dive get out of there, but I did not know of the history to it all.
@earl-of-trumps saidGood for you if you like it. But that wasn't the issue I was addressing. I was just clearing up any doubt about how setting up that club was a deliberate snub to Very Rusty, which you don't seem to be denying.

Another reason why I did not join was because you were a member and I see you as one of posters that helps make the Debates Forum a poisonous cesspool.
@earl-of-trumps saidWhere is it you thought I "got out of"?

@earl-of-trumps saidWell, be that as it may. But I didn't say he wanted to draw only those he saw as the best among the more prolific General Forum posters away from the forum.

-Removed-Certainly one of the key reasons I created the Chamber was to have a refuge from the inane postings of Rusty in every thread in the GF where good threads were routinely trashed. (And still are). To equate this with being an anti-Rusty club though is a nonsense. Beyond a few initial jokes about having hounds posted to keep him out, he has barely been mentioned over the last year.
Whether I spoil threads with my posts aside, many General Forum threads are now arguably trashed - not just by Very Rusty's copious inane posting - but also by Suzianne's and Ghost of Duke's copious and inane posting in service of the day in day out bullying of Very Rusty, sometimes matching his posts at a ratio of 2:1 or, when others are piling on, even 3:1.
@fmf saidYou bring a special brand of toxicity to a thread.

Should bottle it and take it on the road.
