Gamble loves The Lounge and treats every other folder as if it were The Lounge too.
Any talk from he of wanting to close it is a particularly obvious affectation designed to provoke a reaction among the easily provoked.
The equivalent of poking your head into a pig sty and shouting “bacon!” before walking off chuckling.
Gamble is mischievous and operates mostly on personal whimsy – perpetually unpredictable and probably would enjoy surprising even himself if he could.
In short, an Internet forum legend – but he’d probably be puzzled if anyone took him 100% seriously 100% of the time.
