Oh, okay. I thought you were referring to this thread. You were talking about umm him. I haven’t posted to any of umm those threads and don’t intend to. The best way to ignore him is not to post unrelated stuff, but to just let the thread slip quietly off the page without responding to it at all. I think he gets he’s jollies off seeing his name up there 12 times on the first page. Just let those posts go gently into that good night.

That’s “his jollies,” not “he’s jollies,” of course.

OK, an explanation.  
I posted this about 2 mins after the unspeakable one posted his latest topic. I hoped it’d sink into anonymity in with the shit thread. It didn’t work. 🙂  
Shit, it’s 4 am, i promised myself I wouldn’t post, as a favour to Manny, at this kind of time.

Euty? Andy used the “A”-word. Could this thread be moved to the Pit please? It just seems so inappropriate here 😃

I’m sorry, Coldfire. I see nothing inappropriate in using the word “aren’t.”
