    On numerous occasions I'd put up a logical and honest post about certain issues to do with BLM or whatever.

    He'd totally ignore everything, start his response with 'What a load of bollocks', then make a huge deal of some grammatical nuance which took the discussion back to his argument.

    But what really did me was how he'd instantly pounce on anyone making cracks about Islam ...

    ... but openly mocked my religious beliefs.

    Bollocks to him, he's a liar, a hypocrite and a total bore.

    Shemima Begum being allowed back in this country ffs <doh>
    There’s one black life that really doesn’t matter.
    She claims she was naive? That’s when a 15 year old girl has a cheeky *** behind the bike shed. She joined IS ffs.
    Country’s going to the dogs and I feel part of the problem for letting it happen.

    He didn’t ‘instantly’ pounce on your remarks, there were often delays in excess of an hour? Would you now agree that everything you say is completely wrong?

    It's just Bob's elevated sense of humour mate.

    Bob makes jokes about Darwins theory of evolution ...

    ... we're still laughing at chimps on a tyre swing <laugh>

    He once tried to convince me Donald had simply been in the same room as FPP, and Ross, and blurted out that they were the new owners 'by mistake' <laugh>

    He was so fixated that there was never a takeover, he'd twist himself inside out to contruct reasons for everything ...

    ... and lash out at anyone who didn't accept his theories <laugh>

    Got me too for a minute, I couldn't decide if Bob had gone mad or if he was Kittens alt account. Know to look out for that dry humour now.

    Baffled at a banning. That was all back and forth. It seems like because he fell on the side of unpopular opinion he was banned.

    This isn't me taking sides. I'm not likely to do that for fear of a ban.

    If you'd been stalked the way I was you'd probably think differently mate. He was absolutely relentless, even talking about me on RTG so people would come over from there. He kept saying how I was no different to extreme racists simply because I don't believe Floyd is a martyr or Black Lives Matter is a decent slogan. He's a nasty little hypocrite.


    No matter how many times I asked him to back off, or ignored him, he just wouldn't let it lie. He'd jump into conversations, I was having with other people, and dominate them to the point whereby the original poster would give up, so I'd be left with him again.

    If I subjected you to the same thing you'd either blow up or stop posting ...

    ... it was absolutely endless for months.

    I don't believe taking sides would see you banned, you're entitled to your opinion as we all are. This lad was warned, over and over, but just kept up his personal attacks on people while crying wolf every time someone responded.

    I thought KM was a decent poster and I am disappointed by his ban. He is argumentative and some of the views he expressed are simplistic and he couldn't accept that everything isn't black or white and that there is an entire spectrum in between. It was uncomfortable to watch him jumping on @Smug in Boots posts just to score points, but Smug is no shrinking violet and can look after himself. This is an internet forum and attracts diverse views which will be discussed at length with no real harm done to anyone.

    The mods have a difficult job and have my respect, but KM was sometimes interesting to read and he got as many pelters as he dished out so I find it hard to understand the punishment he received.

    Everything on internet boards is prone to exaggeration but to say he was obsessed with stalking Smug is an understatement. It was weird. Love the fact that my impersonation of him fooled some people.

    Of course I can look after myself mate, that's really not the point.

    Every time I posted I'd have a relentless contrary tirade from him that would chase other people away and drag things into an endless tit for tat saga.

    I'd make a point of not responding to him, not even referring to him, but he'd just jump straight in time after time.

    Why should I have to put up with that when I'm putting perfectly reasonable points. I don't expect people to agree but I don't want to have to explain every apostrophe or grammatical nuance ... it's really boring for me and other people.

    The people defending him obviously hadn't noticed how relentless he was, even going on RTG to deride me.

    That's probably right mate.

    He'd put the same 500 word point to every post, whether or not it was relevant ...

    ... all that mattered was that he was lecturing people he thought beneath him.

    I must admit, I didn't realise the stalking was as bad as you say and you are right that no one should have to put up with that. I only read the threads that interest me so didn't really see the full picture. I did notice he hunted you out after his weeks ban and that's why I said it was uncomfortable to read.

    Along with you, GOM, BC and HM, KM gave my a better understanding of balance sheets and finances and I suppose that's what disappoints me.

    He is reaping what he sowed now so I suppose that's my education over, I'll just have to start speaking to the missus now <laugh>
