Once I stopped taking him seriously I actually found him to be quite amusing.

To be fair, Scotland were just as crap as Scaly said.

Seems a tad harsh to my way of thinking. Not like he was avoiding the filter.

Always admired the way Scaly genuinely seems to not give a toss what others think about him. A cock at times, but a strangely likeable cock.

If there's one of the least admirable character traits around, that's it.

Wow I see some folks are being so judgmental here. Definately unique poster and knowledgeable about the game.

I hope he come back to the forum, it certainly isn't better without him.

Yeah, I hope he isn't pissed off about the banning like c_c was. He never came back.

What did he do? Was he warned before being banned at all? I thought warnings were the procedure but I have seen a few people banned without warnings in the recent past which seems a bit harsh to me. A warning should always be given IMO.

I couldn't care less what you think of me, nor a few others (most of whom are probably going to be doing their familiar trick of crawling out of the woodwork and airing their views on me in this thread, if it doesn't get closed before they get there), but giving a good account of myself to the majority is very important to me and, dare I say it, most right-thinking people. "I'll act as I see fit and to hell with the fact that most deem it unacceptable" is a deplorable character trait, as I say.

And there was far more consensus than not, FTR, on that being a good thing rather than a bad one.

c_c voiced his opinions and added to the forums IMO. His opinions were not always in line with what every one else had to say but that's what you respect a poster for - original opinion.

If that's your view of him then you're entitled to it. It's a fair enough opinion. But it isn't one that most people shared.

What's your view Richard? Was he racist in your opinion? He studied in a school in a city near Kolkata and I had visited that school once for a 5 day camp. I had chatted a lot with him a few years back on msn and he seemed perfectly normal.
