You simply don't know what you're talking about. Spencer knows he is supposed to drop it. Everything here is being catalogued and forwarded.
I am persistent.
This is gold!
I can't believe you flipped out over someone calling you a paedo, but then you call us a 'cancer'.
Can I call you and threaten your wife?

So how is ass-linking the management and mods at IDW working out for you? You hoping they will give you a spotlight at well? It could be about Motormaster - you could base it on yourself, as I believe motormasters personality was historically the 'con that everyone else loved to hate.

Wow. It seems clear the the management here is incompetent, and the members are thickheaded and don't seem to understand the the notion of being civilized.
My last words, only small people say things online that they won't say to a strangers face.
Go back to your toys.

Uh, this is not how things look from my side.
I never "delegated" my wife to email you. She told you to leave her alone. You chose to email her--repeatedly--and insulted both her and me.
I contacted you via PM on IDW.
That's how you could work it out with me.
Or via PM on this site.
You don't need to go through the mods, you just sign up, get an account and PM me. How hard is that?
I could probably find Ryall's work number easily, call him up, and bawl him out if I wanted to for shortchanging Revelations, banning Jack, or whatever. I don't. If I did, he'd hang up on me. And he would have a right to.
He could file a harassment suit on me. And he'd have a right to.
Listen up now. I CALLED THE COPS BECAUSE I WAS BEING HARASSED. A random guy from the internet calls my house, emails my wife, and makes allusions to all sorts of threats and I'M in the wrong?
And post a scan of the police report? Are you ******* serious? Go ahead, I guess, if you must. I told the officer, and I'll repeat it here, that quoting Snarl was "not my brightest move."
I didn't call him because I was in the right, though. But I called him because this behavior is harassment, dude. Finding someone who insults you online and not responding online--but calling their house and emailing their wife--that is harassment.
It doesn't matter what the insult is. If you have problems online, deal with them online.
That's manning up. That's being mature. Not tracking someone down like some freaky stalker.

Naw, my writing is almost as awful as Jacks.
Nice suggestion though.

Actually its not harassment, I thought the officer made that abundantly clear to you.
God, he said you were immature, but this is ridiculous.

Sorry? When? I can still say whatever I want on the IDW forum using new accounts. It takes, like, five minutes to set up a new email and register. I'm staying away from it because it's too easy to get drawn into more silly arguments, especially with you around pouncing on every opportunity to make a thread ugly. When you get banned as well, we can be dummy account buddies.

Can somebody, like, point out to me where Sprunk actually called Skwege the thing he's been accused of calling him?
Because all I can see is when he quoted somebody else saying it...
And, for the record, I'm no cancer. I'm a taurus.

One last thing, i'll wear a BIG sign saying Skwege at Botcon. Feel free to walk up and call me a pedophile.
I hope everyone else will be wearing name tags too:-)

I won't be making the (oversea) journey, but as you'll be wearing a sign I'm knocking 20% off the bounty.
What writing of mine have you read? Can I get a quote from you for the back of my book?

Not bounty. Freelance peacekeeping, yes?
Seriously though, have Bountys always been two little ones, or did they used to be one big one?

Y'know, everyone who's getting any is having sex with someone's offspring.
Nevermind -- someone can always loan him Rachel and a puncture repair kit.

They've downsized like every other chocolate bar. Plus it's probably a cost-saving device to put two "funsize" bars into the wrapper and not have a separate machine for regular.

So they did actually used to be one bar in that size packaging? Right. Thought I was going mad for a bit there.

Spotlights are the only thing going on my "automatically order" list once Max Dinos is out of the way. Well, apart from the remaining six parts of Phonogram.
edit: despite being around a lot, Jazz has never really had a huge amount of solo time or development in the past, so I reckon he's a decent pick.

Ha. No sh*t.
There's lots of childish remarks from Skwege that i could respond to (in between him asking why people won't be more mature) but, ah, can't be arsed.
I have edited out the statements that have caused this ridiculous melodrama. In a suitable mature fashion. For the record i don't blame those who posted them as it was clear, to me at least, that they were meant in jest and its been clear here for a long time that we have no issue with rough humour and general bluntness.
Also for the record though yes i am generally fine with juevenille behaviour here and don't put a great deal of effort into the moderation as most people here 'get it' in terms of what Transfans does and does not accept, which is pretty much no racism, sexism or homophobia or being a massive c*nt and anything else is fine. Even Republicans or Man U fans.
For future purposes though lets avoid insults specifcially stating someone is a kiddie fiddler i suppose
On the bright side as a result of certain people's behaviours on other sites we seem to have gained some decent new posters.
Er, the end?

It's my stock response whenever anybody tries to get a request in when I'm finishing my set.
Sadly nobody gets it.

SL: Jazz should be interesting.
I'm still dying for Mowry's Cosmos spotlight (or any by him actually. Really want him to make the jump to the G1-verse)

Can't say I like Boosts.
Love Cadbury Whips, but they're hard to get for some reason.

Boosts are 1 bar over here, far as I know.
Bounty has been two ever ever since I can remember.
regardless, its all about Kitkat chunky - that or doubledecker.

Boosts are still one bar in the UK.
Wham bars are where the real travesty lies.
Agree about Mowry making the G1 jump.
Also agree Jazz has had a general lack of development - he is quite easy to soundbite and give a general aura of 'funk' to but little details has ever been given to his exact role or place in the command structure.
