Stupidity can be a massive advantage in negotiations, I remember when I was asked by the management co-op (as I'm a chartered quantity surveyor) of our flats to negotiate with the local council (the freeholders of the block) about the way they were tendering some building works (in an uneconomical way, as we were paying). They always answered my letters with irrelevant pointless comments, however after a while I realized I was getting nowhere and was defeated by stupidity as they were prepared to go on and on forever with illogical arguements. I had to give up, when asked by the treasurer why I stopped because I was always getting the better of them and making them look foolish, I said yes but they are too stupid to see that they are stupid and they never will, so their stupidity beat me.

Private forums is where people with the same interests post
relaxedly, freely and comfortably.

Public forums remain a place where you should watch your back,
because a nerd flamer may come up to try to ridicule you (or
correct your grammar).

And they move in tribes.

The great thing about RHP - the thing that set it apart - was always its irreverence, its humour, the way it appreciated wit and subtlety.

What made this place unique is being undermined, and it seems too many people simply don't see what's going on.

In short: it just isn't fun any more.

Message to Russ - keep my money, I'll find somewhere else.
Why the big announcement. 🙄

People come and go all the time and they don't make a song and dance about it.

If you were looking for people to say please don't go we'll miss you there will be a few.

If you were looking for people to say take a break and come back in a month or two there will be a few.

If you were looking for people to say well just fffff off then then there will be many.

At the end of the day you leave, and in three months very few who post here will remember who you were or why you left, and those that do remember will not give a toss as your shoes will have been filled by someone better looking, uglier, fatter, thinner, blacker, whiter, racist, homophobic and into necrophilia.

Wrong. Try again and read wucky's posts if you have doubts.

So it ain't so. :'(

Dot, you were one of the funniest guys here. If you leave, it's just another reason for me to avoid these forums.

'Tis a sad day...

Q. How do you know what I want?
A. You don't.

Conclusion: You should stop trying to be a smartass - you're not succeeding.
