    • Yes –> The forum is a better place with Rocky taking part in it.
    • No –> The forum isn't a better place (but might not be a worse place) with Rocky taking part in it.

    Of course it's a silly question – it was a joke.
    indeed - I understand but Im not sure everyone else does

    OR if you vote YES does that mean the opposite

    You see that's the problem of childishly putting someone on your 'ignore' list, you can't fully participate in the debate and are asking questions that have already been answered - this makes you look like a right spatula

    Worse, is then to ask a question which you know you will not see the answer to and to participate in a thread about someone who's on your ignore list - who, by definition, will be posting in large lunch box like proportions.

    In fact I propose to rename the ignore list to the Wuss List in honour of those Wusses that can't stomach a bit of animated debate.

    Keep this up Rocky, you're starting to make me look good - and I've chosen to post in a particular "style" that is unlike my true persona. It's all a personal challenge, this staying in character
    I'm assuming that as your usual forum 'style' is more than a tad ironic, that this post is actually saying the opposite of how it reads.

    Blimey... he must take a massive cut of any royalties if he charges by the word and for the addition of punctuation... I make that about £5 just in that one sentence!

    It's a 'self help' book entitled 'How to win friends and influence people'.... it's a weighty tome. Most of the research and application of the principles has been carried out by partcipating in public forums

    The dancers of ceroc vile were mesmerised by the vision they saw before them. Disgusted to the core they strained to take their eyes from the images, and break the evil spell. They chanted as one "No more, no more." But the magic of ceroc vile had penetrated even the air they breathed, and they cries of "MORE, more!" were heard for miles around...

    Chapter 4:
    In the distance Dorothy heard the commotion and hobbled to her door. The stigmata in her foot had grown worse and now it resembled an axe wound... 'I must make the pilgrimage to the Orange city', she announced and packed her bag to make a weekend of it. She was accustomed to talking to herself as people had given up listening to her rantings many years ago - even her dog Tango, had become voluntarily deaf and was also mute because of the exertions she had placed on his little raspy tongue...

    She followed the M road, the vibrant blue road from the village - a Stuffolk munchkin waved her off, all 12 fingers shining in the afternoon sun. It was a difficult journey as Tango could only move sideways so she had to gently guide him with the occasional kick in the chocolate box. On her way she happened across Frunco, a sad scruffy man with no brain, no heart and no courage... She did not take kindly to him charging for his company but at least it was someone she could talk at during the long journey ahead.

    Suddenly a snoot of monkeys rounded the corner ahead of them. As they mischievously edged towards them they muttered under their breath - it was a strange incantation.. 'It's sounds like Jam', said Dorothy. And she was right, the monkeys were suffering from Jam Addiction. 'But I have no jam!' she squealed. She was momentarily flummoxed and then she had an idea.. as fast as you could say 'step back and give yourselves a MASSIVE round of applause, she grabbed Frunco's plums and tossed them.

    Frunco smiled, the monkeys were sated, and although Dorothy's little white gloves were covered in plum juice she was content that disaster had been averted. They continued on their journey... but they had no idea of what awaited them as they moved on down, moved on down the road...
