    Firstly a disclaimer, if you do not have a sense of humour, then you should not be here.

    Through my years on various message boards and many other social media outlets such as twitter, I have come across many characters throughout that time. Whether they be funny, just plain annoying or good at getting a debate going through reaction.

    One that seems to have mainly escaped my attention is someone called 'Ron', I understand the person posts on Kent Online, I believe GeminiSwift may well have acquaintance in this area. Now her indoors is not a Gillingham supporter and shares little interest in football (shock, horror) but does occasionally glance the odd news story about the Gills. Sadly reading KOL and finding this Ron quite funny (more shock horror), he makes her laugh! (now I am feeling insecure).

    I must keep up more with these funny or maybe even annoying characters. There is even a similar character on twitter, who claims to be an avid Gills fan, now I did see a few of his tweets and thought who is this character. The question is how genuine are these people, who hide behind their keyboards. Do they seriously believe what they write or are they much cleverer and know how to play for fun on the psychological side of human nature.

    One that I remember from the old BBC606 days was Major. You could always guarantee, that where ever he went you would be guaranteed a flurry of responses.

    Now people can class them as wind-up merchants who should not be allowed to grace the nature of such sites. However, we all have our characters that we love in reality, so why not in our virtual world, as long has they are not offensive.

    Which leads me to who is your favourite all time character, maybe Ron, Major or the guy on twitter Sulaiman Mwkana... https://twitter.com/SulaimanMwkana (just take a look at that following) or are they all just one and the same. Whatever the case maybe, I believe they are completely different to your normal routine repetitive posting wind-up merchants in that they gage their responses with some sort of thought process.

    Of course let us not forget our very own Lenny but sadly he has turned over a positive new personality (well at least until Christmas).

    Name your favourite characters and if you have a link to an example of their comments even better...

    Acworth - but what's happened to him ?
    I thought I was mad - but Acworth is in a league of his own - even Hoadie can't come close ( sorry H_B)

    I used to find Ron quite amusing but he is just getting predictable now... no matter what the subject is he sill manages to mention the "pantomime kit"

    Wasn't there a Major clone with the name Gills Gem back on the old 606?

    Remembering this is all in good fun, I would compare Lenny38 to Mr McCammon, very rarly turns up and when he does he's always negative, rarly any valuable or meaningful input, not really a "team player" either.

    Ah yes, and as for Ron. I have to say I have my issues with him but for a WUM you can't do anything but admire his staying power. Think he may have lost his virginity to his pet gerbil.

    Now for my ALL TIME FAVOURITE...............

    A2C without a shadow of a doubt the Most Appalling spelling I have ever come a cross. You need a degree in dead languages to be able to decipher what he has written. He's a Classic.

    My old foe A2C <ok> - my number one stalker. I think my email account must have been stored into favourites by the beeb mods because of him <laugh>

    Cannot remember him ever finding the Taverna though, a virtual hide away from the old bbc mods and most prying eyes :bandit:

    I may have been considered negative last season, maybe the season before as well,but lets face it, I was right!! Hessy wasn't the man for the job, but Allen is going to be a massive improvement despite brb's very negative posts.

    Ah, Ron. The mystery wrapped up in an enigma. He reads from a script and has no counter-argument and chooses not to indulge in reading the original story. Watch out for his side-kick, `SuperKeds` with similar traits but a much less firm grasp on the English language. For my sins, I do sometimes post on the KentOnline site - sort of like getting up and moving when a wasp comes along and tries to ruin your picnic. I shouldn't let it bother me.

    Well I used to comment on them all the time but Ron used to wind me up so much that I stopped commenting. He never even bothers to use a decent counter argument either. I seem to remember a poster on there last year called Dave who would basically give us hate in every comment he posted on.

    Ron is a derp merchant.

    As for character? I'm not sure, I do enjoy watching Gills365 be at least 5 minutes behind Not606 for any bit of news! It is a bit like North Korea over there.

    The Imperialist outsiders wish to corrupt us, all praise the dear leader!

    I'm not sure if you realise but there actually was a Donald Duck once <ok>

    He occasionally pops in on our board from time to time under many different aliases now. He tried to start a revolution once, the problem was he's a Leeds fan <laugh> instant fail before he even gets chance to shout the words, power to the people.

    Be careful he maybe watching but he cannot hide, eh duck? <whistle>

    He isn't on my following list anymore so I'd say he's moved on.
