Biscuits, bacon and collard greens

Hi Mantra
Well .. I can be as rude or condescending as the next person, can be a tad short tempered from time to time, and admittedly taken a mild dislike of JM since my return to PA, despite having been taught Madhura ("art of sweet words" in sanskrit, aka diplomacy).
While not part of the original PA crew, I have been associating with this mob for 5 years or so now through out PA's several incarnations and have seen all sorts of characters I occasionally refer to as 'nuisance factor' come and go.
Upon my recent return to PA forums I chose a new nick and noticed some other new characters or old characters also with new nicks.
Spoze I got off to a bad start with JM recently due to what I considered as his obnoxious manner and labelled him as the site's current troll. When I came back into town and got online I noticed he'd replied via PM informing me he wasn't really a troll but had just been made to look that way by others here who've been with PA for longer than myself, and then invited me to join his copy-cat PA forum.
I did have a look, but refrained from signing up because I wasn't particularly impressed and admittedly a bit suspicious of his motives. Since that time JM has done a good job confirming my suspicions.
I don't have a problem with people pilfering members for recruitment to their own site, and couldn't really care that his site is an attempted rip-off of this one, but I do have a problem with characters who make a nuisance of themselves to drive people away from this site in the hope they'll move to his copy-cat site.
I gather that MO has been unsuccessfull because now he seems to spend half his posts on bagging this site, its admin, and why he should be the new/next admin.
Well .. my loyalties lie with this crowd despite any differences of opinion with any individual within it because I've found them reasonably trustworthy and they don't ban me if I get rude crude and unsavory, and believe JM and like charaters motives are about sabotaging these forums.
Answering his question was an attempt to let my animosity toward him go and see if we could amicable, but he doesn't want that, so phuk him.

LOL. No, I would say that JM has managed to be a troll all by his lonesome self

The obnoxious 'tard has quite a growing fan club

bwahahahahahahaha Heretic!

This is the PM I sent Heretic BTW:

hehehehe I am not a troll at all really, just angry that a troll was allowed to drive off people from here for the amusement of AiA.

At http://www.polanimal.com.au I have 3-4 Greens supporters and am about to set up a Greens Matters member-run board with the Greens there doing the forum moderating for that board. Come and join! Can still be a member here but with two boards you can pick and choose the best from each.

Yeh .. from memory .. without checking its complete, that's the PM I mentioned.
Pretty much confirms what I said ... hey!

Regarding this whingy signature of yours ..

Item 8; an Admin who gives a shit: Item 9; Raise the tone and improve the quality of the posts: Item 10 and related to 9; Make the board attractive to male and female posters: Item 10; Improve Google ranking (thanks to comrade SN)

Heard/seen all that sort of stuff before from nuisance factor characters .. and without doubt the reason I come to PA is because I don't have to put up with stuff/things like those. I reckon PA would have evaperated from existence years ago if we had to put up with that sort of $#!+

There ya go Monk. You have lost another vote from (almost) a PA original. Well done.

As for this.....'I have 3-4 Greens supporters...." that would send 'Heretic' running in the opposite direction, I reckon. He used to be a very active Member of the Greens, but is now very disenchanted.

Nothing like knowing who you are insulting, hey wot, Monk.
