Yeah, Joey made a very personal remark about Tim Smith (who occasionally frequented the forum). He was only banned for a week but chose not to come back.

It was Dabble over the London Riots in 2011. Well remembered. What a controversy that was, almost as intense as the great TP Schism of 2009

Joey's ally in that debate was Ando who stayed in Bangkok so his finger was definitely on the pulse there! As I said Joey came across a bit like a copper or a Marvel superhero but Dabble got as good as he got considering the two of them were ganging up on him. I made a couple of interventions on Dabbles behalf but he didn't really need my pearls of wisdom...

My recollection of the details is hazy, but I think it was a similar theme to Joey vs Dabble, triggered by a new female member attempting to justify poor people mugging better off people or something like that. It somehow escalated into an almighty clusterf*** with an orgy of bannings and people storming off never to return. Shame cos we lost some good people like Ian Part Time and Ged Babey I remember Ando. A bit conservative but seemed OK to me. I remember you and him getting into it on a regular basis, though

And let's not forget Stonecastle who managed to be a Jewish loving anarchist who supported the EDL, or something like that. I could only manage two lines of his postings before getting a migraine.

Stonecastle definitely had mental health issues
The schism was genuinely traumatic - lots of great people left and never came back
I have mentioned this place to Ged and, I think, Ian PT
I am also in touch with Dabble so could alert him too
Ger said he'd come and take a look when I messaged him yesterday
Blitzy Bob has also promised to drop by - as did Skully, but I'm not holding my breath.
Once you get out of the habit it's not always easy to revive and these are tricky times for lots of people job and money-wise

My most irritating poster was the American lassie who used the name Nancy after Sid Vicious' junkie girlfriend. A real moderators headache, she'd turn virtually every post into deifying Nancy Spungeon and Sid and making out it was someone else who killed her.
Thankfully, she was only around for a few months, maybe due to people calling her out on her daftness. I ran an April Fool on her taking Talkpunk to court over defamation of drug addled prostitutes. A couple of posters fell for it.😆

Venus Eccentric was a bit of a character, too.

I remember you and him getting into it on a regular basis, though Ando was another right wing ex punk who slagged off immigrant workers coming into the UK but was one himself in Thailand. He and Dabble went at hammer and tong when Dabble alluded to the idea that he had bought his wife in Thailand.🙂 This incensed him. Wonder if he did or not....and was just denying it. Who knows🙂

The worst website is the anarchopunk one called anarchopunk.net. Full of bearded anarcho hoodie hipsters who hate everyone who isn't into anarchy and that dreadful crust shite. I made 3 posts and the guy who moderated it was all over me like a cheap suit because I mentioned that a lot of anarcho punks were just austere hypocritical arseholes back in the day. Free speech?apparently not😎
