[QUOTE=Batalov;354696]There is a huge amount of posts that you might think to have been deleted but that in fact were [URL="http://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=12945&page=12"]moved to this thread[/URL]. Re-read it. There you will probably find many posts that you seem to be longing to read. And think what some of the users would have paid to better have them deleted.

Well you are not getting a kopek out of me.

Regrets? I've no regrets...

I'm sick of this tired old man skipping around the stuff we've been repeatedly trying to say.[/quote]
How many posts have I ignored in this thread?
And how many have have you?
And yes I am tired.

[QUOTE=Batalov;354744]Davieddy (as you [URL="http://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?p=354222#post354222"]probably well know[/URL]) writes more messages than all the rest of you combined. But for me, the volume of this forum is twice as small now as it used to be -- while the signal level virtually unchanged. Here's all I see:[/QUOTE]

This why IMAO you are unfit to lick my boots, let alone delete/move a link like this:
[URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkEylc1-18M[/URL]
I made its appropriateness abundantly clear and a tiny bit of googling, and/or listening would have told you what an insensitive act of vandalim you had so casually perpetrated.

I may "fight my corner", but oblivious to pain I am not.
Several people would testify to that, but I won't name them for reasons you probably won't understand.
I wouldn't mind you all trying to guess though!

No hints yet.

[QUOTE=henryzz;354782]This is amusing to read lol.[/QUOTE]
Hi David,
I think you might find my "no holds barred" response to themawn, for which he was so conspicuously spoiling at least as entertaining and X-rated fare,
should it ever get to see the light of day:smile:

Some of the Supermods, but not all and certainly not George, are bad losers.

You stole my line.[/QUOTE]
Trying to remember what that asshole's lame excuse for bowdlerozing my post was this time...

...Getting somewhere. He deleted:
"I saw "joke" in the thread title, so checked it out.
I didn't exactly :rofl:"

I thought this was simply making it clear why I had been tempted to post "sort of...".

But his stated reason for "editing" was "deleted YouTube link".

Although an exchange such as this could well prompt a link, I can't think of onr ATM, and anyway it would seem to be superfluous.

I guess he just thought there might have been malice aforthought, and couldn't resist excercising his massive perogative.

Paranoid or what?

Now that pic might get Kieran excited!

I think he might also like this link

which I attached to my remark "I don't think so".

Now why on earth would Chalsall wish to delete that?

BTW I am more than happy with the title change, as post #1 would suggest.

And since when have I been averse to some levity or sparring in [B]any[/B] discussion?

I am happy to use this timeout to thorough digest and observe [url=http://www.gpu72.com/reports/estimated_completion/]This page[/url]
Since Chalsall's case rests entirely on it, according to his latest convert, the self-described "impressionable 21-yearold, TheMawn.

I would guess that George is taking his time to digest the thoughtful content accumulated in this thread, before pronouncing any further.
He is of cause being diplomatic, but is very aware that as I speak, 67M exponents are being assigned as a direct result of Chris's actions below 67M, and ATM there only 176 of these available.
I foresaw this impending "crunchtime" the moment Chris started TF to 74, and will take no pleasure in saying "told you so".

I wonder what Chris is thinking about, if anything.

[QUOTE=only_human;351893]Hi David. We were just thinking about you. Stay well. Regards, Ross.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=only_human;352694]David killed a little more sympathy for him when he spawned this thread to troll. Not that there was much sympathy left anyway.

After he anonymously started this thread though, it is natural for people to wonder if he is lurking elsewhere too[/QUOTE]

Hi Ross,

I thought your first post very kind, if slightly out of character.
The thought that it might be sarcastic did occur to me, but I dismissed this on the grounds that even you could not be that be that nasty.

I'm relieved that your second post confirmed that the first post was indeed out of character, and you could be that nasty.

Now I don't seek or even expect sympathy, but do frequently receive it from various people who may be one or more of the following:
1) aware of my plight.
2) appreciate some of my posts and ideas.
3) realize I am not cutting unless it's really necessary, and then I admit I can do it to devastating effect.
4) consider that I am being bullied.

And of course I was lurking.

[QUOTE=kladner;355290]Cool song. Sad story associated.[/QUOTE]
Yep. The "I got a powerful horse outside" verse was what made me think it especially suitable to accompany the motorcycle theme.

I have loved Kirsty ever since I heard [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIsyQ2qCDQ8]They Don't Know[/url] the first time.

Her untimely death can truly be described as tragic in every sense.
It was wall to wall for a week over here.

Fortunately her music lives on.

[QUOTE=kladner;355354]Note to Brian: Please be as kind to yourself as you are to others. I suspect that the gain on your Nasty Meter is turned up a bit high. :pals:[/QUOTE]
Hey you two lovebirds, I think you might at least have given the nice Ross a chance to reply first. He can speak for himself you know!

Note also that I was prevented from replying once you had blown my cover, and yet another "Let's see who can take the biggest kick at David while he's down session, led by the usual GPUto72 suspects ensued.
I am still operating under the intolerable restraint of my posts not appearing until up to two days after they were written and dated. This often causes embarrassment to all concerned.
The delay is supposed to be for moderation, but I don't think any have failed to appear eventually, although some are fiddled with.
Another effect is that my name never appears on the homepage.

Sympathy for the Devil, guys!
