No!
I shan't have that! Quint - you will have your acronym thread. That will never be denied. All we are saying is that basically it's shit, and as the publically accessible forum page for the Spoof, it isn't a great advertisement. That's all it is - it's crap. It's tired. It's clapped out. It was never remotely humorous, witty, cryptic, or clever - for Krist's sake! Even Monkey Woods admits that! It should never really have been in the General Discussion thread anyway - it's just basically two or three writers sucking one another off and telling each other how sexy they are. It should have been put in Writers Discussion from day one. I'm not dictating anything to anybody, by the way - if anything, the reverse seems to be the case. "We'll do what we want." Even though nobody else is remotely interested. But we get it in our faces time after time. An endless parade of meaningless shite. What offends me is that sometimes it interrupts something interesting. Carry on. Skoob. |

Have we had complaints from readers?
Or is it a campaign? Whatever else it may be, it's certainly a load of blether about fuck all. I've tried posting lots of creatively surreal stuff on here that nobody responds to. What will happen, with all this palaver that you and CJ have stirred up, is that I will just stop bothering with these forums, as others have done. I'll not make a fuss about it like others have done, but I just can't be doing with this shite. |

"I'm not dictating anything to anybody, by the way" "I'm not dictating anything to anybody, by the way - if anything, the reverse seems to be the case." "We'll do what we want." Instead of what you want?!?!?!? Gasp!..... The fuckin cheek of them. "Even though nobody else is remotely interested. But we get it in our faces time after time.

I don't recall saying this, Skoob. But, as an idea for a game, it seems perfectly harmless, and I don't really see what the problem is. There are a lot of threads on this forum, and many of them are complete wastes of time. I know; I've started some of them, myslef. |

Here in Iceland we endorse the last two postings, both of which bring clarity and wisdom to the table of argument and should be heeded.

I don't think you really get this at all, do you Erskin?
With the greatest respect - we both know that the thread is crap. But that's beside the point. Monkey Woods and Fergus talking with sense? You've really got to be yanking my chain. Fergus is so predictable it hurts. Quote - Counter - Quote - Counter - Quote - Counter. Monkey stirs the nest up and then appears as the voice of reason. They're Scallys. But at least they're saying something. Even if it is bollocks. No war going on here at all - just people who care trying to provoke a reaction before the place grows cobwebs. Anyway - I've got some dictating to do. Lithuania looks good. Regards Pol Pot Greece. |

With all respect, I think I do get it.
Saying that the posts of MW and Fergus don't count doesn't alter anything. Regardless of their attitudes, what they posts is simple fact and common sense. The acronym thread is just another harmless thread of nonsense on a spoof forum. As we have asked elsewhere: Why pick on the acronyms? Is there any evidence that it is a 'distraction' to our 'readership'? Are they gathering outside the gates of Spoof Towers with their anti-acronym placards? Why is the acronym thread percieved as being so poisonous? I've got a lot of time for you and CJ but we must agree to differ on this one. |

Ah Skoobie, I know quoting and counter quoting is a bit lazy.... Now and again I'd even be prepared to admit that it's maybe a bit predictable. But in some cases it's just too easy, in your case you answered your own......... Whatever, with your ropier like wit. I really wanted to say something really funny and shit, like..... But you had it covered. Good man Skoob, Napoleon will be proud of of you. Trot on. |

I agree and I am unamimous in that. What I do not know, but through careful canvasing I have convinced my brain to agree.

Trust me Arm - I'd be a shit President.
As for diplomacy - forget it. I can be an absolute tit sometimes - but I do love life. There's something I'd like to add here, but it may be misconstrued. I'll tell you later, in private. People eh? Missed you Geezer Skoob. |

I do brighten the place up don't I Skoob?
When I log on the flowers bloom and all the litter is blown away, I'm like a breath of fresh air in a miserable, damp fetid, closed room. The happiness index goes through the roof when my little green light goes on over there on the right. QM always gives me ten 5 thumbs on my stories just for brightening her day whenever I log in. Gail Farrelly used to send me pictures until Mark stopped her, New Yorkers eh? I thought about leaving once but Mark PM'd me and begged me to stay, apparently QM and Gail wouldn't be able to function if I wasn't here. I'm here for them... I'm here for all of you. |
