Not sure if I have time to read it but Ian Davies’s initial, long, clever, and whimsical post I can roughly remember – it rather set the scene and with it removed its like burning the map of Treasure Island or the first chapter. ( The original map is missing ) 🧐
Totoise…this turtle 🐢 chap looks to be an imposter !

Seeing my name thrice replicated is scant compensation for the disappearance of all my postings.
I cannot even remember why I was banned now, but it’s a safe bet I richly deserved it.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I was also surprised – in fact I was under the impression you banned yourself with ” I am cutting myself off at the knees”
It was all so long ago I honestly cannot remember.
Plus, when you fall out with and upset as many people as I have contrived to over the years, all the conflict merges into one!
Anyway, not to worry, I cannot recall ever falling out with you, gamble.
Maybe I am a bit of a magnified mirror at heart – the bad bring out the worst in me and the good bring out the best?

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Time can distort memories and you were certainly a high activity writer back then, and this magnitude of words can also cloud memories. I have read the Haigh thread from time to time and my impression was this was after you left – you were always a contingent of it. I am very surprised and disappointed that this rare picture of words has been vandalised – somewhat beyond repair.
I made reference to Ian Davies opening post on page 12 which explains Paul’s misapprehension- (The White knight refers to Daylight by the way)
Ian Davies wrote April 17, 2004[br]
I was reading an article in the racing post today called the curse of Zorro’s blunders. It seems Paul who wrote the piece, thinks that not only he himself is the legend of Zorro, but that the white knight (El Presidente for life in this neck of the woods, and surely the most popular world leader on the planet !) spends his entire day picking on threatening posters, kiling the odd few before breakfast, and meticulously giving each and every posting death marks out of five. He referred to the great white knight as Victor Creepo, so it it is a given that any future quest he might make to cyberspace will be fraught with many dangers, and far greater than those encountered in his curse of Capistrano, and will carry not least, the ultimate threat of a painfully long beheading.
The truth, of course, is somewhat more prosaic – the more you post, the more stars you get and, even if you bore everyone to death (I’m currently trying) it is possible for anyone to get to five stars over time. I reached this heady plateau many moons ago.
Thanks, gamble.
I barely recognise myself – could I have been any more pretentious or further up my own ****?
I would have banned myself for that bit of verbose nonsense all on its own!
That said, I still like the word “prosaic,” though!

You were banned for continuing to advertise some project of yours. I remember querying the reason t the time but can’t remember what the project was.

Not sure that Ian was banned for advertising it, but he may have pushed his luck in opening a market on here and taking money on it- about ten bob.
The word prosaic set a high bar indeed ( I had a rough idea of its meaning, but remembering consulting dick04 just to uncloud) for the exemplary jousting that was to follow.
A small bit of trading in the temple of God might have done it, or simply the red link to it, would have been enough to suddenly encounter a man, with something of the night about him, and something worse hidden in his Mackintosh, and in a blind alley, you could never get out of alive.
Bannings on here used to depend largely, not on your stars but the size of your boots. Matron climbed up the greasy sides of this truffle tower from the inside, and was rewarded with two size 14’s which he has only ever kept under his bed. The man sleeps on his left side normally as the patron Saint of TRF, but on a stormy night with the crows asleep he can easily turn over to take on the guise of the henchman or executioner. However he sleeps he still manages a hearty breakfast with a hot cawfee or two.
Ian despite two official poster of the year titles plus an unofficial one which caught him in a fancy dress only ever had size tens.
Richard Dunwoody ” I was lucky to ride many good horses but none better than Desert Orchid ” had possibly the largest boots of all in here – lovely fella – and with his affability, high profile, nicely turned out hands and heels, set above ginormous size 15’s, was able to get away with TRF blue murder. Better than the high kickers at the Folies Bergere – he was caught showing off the naughty elastic link to his tipping line.
I am actually a nine and a half, gamble.
This reminds me of Barry Dennis – a lot less “Gor Blimey” when writing than in person who, when I once posted I was about 6ft in online forum conversation, replied: “That’s what all people who are five eleven say.”
Rather annoyingly, he had me (almost) bang to rights – I am five eleven and three quarters.
