A robbie carrobie-type post from you here.

I do hope he's doing okay.

The Ghost moves in mysterious ways.

You were once a far better poster than this.

Your own posting style seems a little labored and corroded.

Nope. I am the same as I have been for fifteen years or more.

When you and I and divegeester had a club you would not have tolerated a new member who used comments about things like murder, suicide, mental health, and child abuse for his "banter". And now that you have a club of your own, you do tolerate it.

It is you who has changed, not me. A couple of weeks before you left the club, you believed I was one of the best posters on the forum; a couple of weeks after you left the club, you believed I was one of the worst posters on the forum. I was posting in exactly the same way.

It's such a pity. It is you who has changed, not me.

Kevin Eleven uses comments about things like murder, suicide, mental health, and child abuse for his "banter". And yet he is in the Ghost Chamber. Back in 2018-2020, you would not have tolerated it. Now you do.

The primary focus of the Ghost Chamber is creative writing, and indeed one of our longest-running threads is in relation to short stories. Kevin is a great and frequent contributor to such threads. There is none of the abusive posting you refer to.

Weak.

You would not have said this in 2018, 2019 or 2020.

You used to stand up to abusive posters like him.

I stand up to misguided souls. Hence our current exchange.

You seem a little defensive about that.

Not at all. I am clear-sighted about it. The contrast between Ghost of a Duke in 2019 and Ghost of a Duke in 2022 is stark. Your standards are different and your animosity drives you in a way that it never did back then.

Take a random sample of any thread I was participating in back in 2019 and you will find exactly the same standards and posting from me as now.

I don't even need to go back and check whether or not that is true because I know the facts will bear me out; I am not in the least bit defensive about it.

If there was one person I would rely on for their honesty, it's Ponderable.

Pondy, may even be more honest than the "Ghost" 😲

A fair amount of chess talk that would be of no use to you gooster! 🙂

Are you pretending to have an inside person in the "GHOST CHAMBER"? 🙂

Posting has remained consistent since the club was created.

Thanks for caring.
