I'm quite good thanks. Busy with work, busy with family life etc etc. Well done for keeping this board alive single-handedly.

Not sure how far back those go, of course. I think if they went back to *ulp* the early 2000s, they might be rather different - albeit with three of the top four still in place. When did you start, f?

:hehe: well thanks. Looking at those number of posts I feel that effort could be put elsewhere.

It's funny though. That time spend during work posting on here seems harmless. but if you spend the same amount of time during working hours working on some sort of side project it would be incredibly bad.

Well the fash account got up to 30 thousand I think. Fash was lurker around 2006 then started posting a lot 2007-2010. before fash there was another login I had but I can't remember.
The pat vegas account from the end of 2010.

Bloody hell that seems like ages ago.

Though I am not fash so how I know all of this stuff is a mystery

My posting has slowed right down in recent years. I'd probably be on 30,000 if i carried on at the same pace i was back in 2011/12.

It's all fixed anyway b. There was a time when I was way clear at the top until Headgear had a cull of posts that left Nicosia out in front. FAKE NEWS

I'm not sure I should be proud of that

I think notes should have been taken when the culls were done of how many posts we'd made. These figures put me in mind of people who think football began in 1992.

I can't find the Awimb tube map anymore.

Though I found this compliment on another site.

"Arsenal Fishbar wrote:

Whilst popping on there the other day to see what old DJ aka Songsy was up to, one of their mods had replicated the London Underground map, with all of the stations renamed as posters. (guess where Spurred was)

Stunning"

"Spurred is simply at Tottenham Hale

By stunning I meant how the guy has done it. Each station renamed with a poster.

Come on create our own version..

I don't recall him posting so much. Well no more than I did.

[Burney]

I don't recall him posting so much. Well no more than I did.

He did tend to just chip in on virtually every pist. And, once you got into an argument, he would never let it lie.

[Sir C]

:nono: There's no need to be abusive to j, WES.

:hehe: Too right.

[World's End Stella]

:nono: There's no need to be abusive to j, WES.

Probably fair, Burney.

But I have to admit that his unique combination of sanctimony and stupidity left me wanting to pull his eyeballs out through his nose.

And let's be honest, we all wonder about people who spend their entire lives on the internet. As far as I could tell, outside of the internet he had no life.

And - more importantly - didn't he claim to hate pubs? I mean, really. :rolleyes:

[World's End Stella]

He did tend to just chip in on virtually every pist. And, once you got into an argument, he would never let it lie.

Yes. This. Just this. :nod:

[Burney]

:hehe: Too right.

I've turned over a new leaf. I haven't been rude to anyone on the internet this year. I'm rather proud of it. Even this morning when Jack Monroe was claiming Clematis were blooming everywhere in England in Mid-March I forbore from pointing out that she was talking böllocks.

Mind you, having my Guardian account blocked has helped in this regard.

[Burney]

Yes. This. Just this. :nod:

To be fair, you're the same in the second respect.

[World's End Stella]

To be fair, you're the same in the second respect.

True, but the same could be applied to you, of course. It's what keeps us coming back to AWIMB. But both of us are capable of reading a post, understanding the point the person is making and coming up with a relevant, pertinent and logical reply.

Jorge WCHE, much like Ian Harvey, was just a sounding board of left wing rhetoric who was incapable of actually *understanding* the issue.

Perhaps it was my frustration with his stupidity that made me want to kill him.

[redgunamo]

Yes. This. Just this. :nod:

I always put that down to him having been an only child (I think he was). They tend to be that way; they've never knowingly lost an argument or ever had to concede a point or even re-think a stance in their lives.

j could be good fun, but yes, he could be a mixture of superficial, glib and dogmatic that could almost have been calculated to infuriate.

Mind you, we're none of here because we're always keen to see the other fella's point of view, are we?

Well yes, but the least he could have done was to stay on point and reply with a relevant and logical answer instead of the superfluous nonsense he so routinely came up with.

I believe you used to call it whataboutery. Corner Jorge quickly and logically and before you could blink an eye you would have a whataboutery reply.

Still, he's gone now, so time to move on. And I'm not the type to dwell on the past. Oh no, not at all. :-)

Yes. He did struggle to grasp that pointing to a similar-ish case of wrongdoing by the other side does not substantively alter the fact of or lessen the wrongness of the wrongdoing of your side.

[redgunamo]

Yes. He did struggle to grasp that pointing to a similar-ish case of wrongdoing by the other side does not substantively alter the fact of or lessen the wrongness of the wrongdoing of your side.

Well, it *does* really but it just makes remaining "on topic" a bit of a chore.

[Ash]

Yes. He did struggle to grasp that pointing to a similar-ish case of wrongdoing by the other side does not substantively alter the fact of or lessen the wrongness of the wrongdoing of your side.

If one side gets cards for all their fouls while the other side gets no punishment for the same things that is what we call bad refereeing.

[redgunamo]

If one side gets cards for all their fouls while the other side gets no punishment for the same things that is what we call bad refereeing.

Right. As silly as it sounds, the proper time to complain about bad officiating is after you've won, rather than after you've lost.

That way, you appear magnanimous, statesman-like.

[Burney]

If one side gets cards for all their fouls while the other side gets no punishment for the same things that is what we call bad refereeing.

That's as maybe, but the fact that someone may or may not have jumped in two-footed and got away with it is not an excuse for doing it yourself.

Right. If everyone's doing it, only punishing one side is bound to lead to a measure of bitterness and resentment.

Sorry, but that sort of thinking is what leads to people thinking the British have no right to criticise the Germans for murdering 6 million people in camps because we invented the concentration camp. It's patent bullsh1t.

:hehe: We got to the Nazis in about four posts. Top Godwinisation there. A straw man too, as concentration camps per se do not imply genocide, just detainment.

[redgunamo]

:hehe: concentration camps per se do not imply genocide, just detainment.

They do if the Germans are in charge of them though, that's the point. Their view is, if a job is to be done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly*. None of this namby-pamby, half-hearted, Let George do it! stuff.

The crapness of the comparison is the point, though. It's how 'whataboutery' works - a deliberate attempt to mitigate, deflect from and avoid taking responsibility for one's own wrongs by trying to undermine your accuser's moral position. The classic was always the Russians attempting to deflect criticism of their oppressive regime by pointing out the plight of black people in the US. In other words, a reasonable point on the face of it, but utterly irrelevant to the case in hand. It's a rhetorical tactic that is entirely morally bankrupt.

If I were a thief, a murderer might denounce me as a thief, but the mere fact of him being a murderer would not in any way make me less of a thief or make my theft less heinous.

Yes, it would, *if* you, as a thief, were being judged by a jury of murderers.

Who decides which case is the case in hand? You? Or whoever gets their accusation in first?
