What do you consider, "started"?
Calling someone a 'nutcase' is not getting started? How often do you have to repeat something like that before you figure it becomes effective? KR worked the same theory pretty hard for a long time - Ulysses too. A few other nitwits like you tried to join in but usually got trampled.
The thing is: it didn't work. Never did. No matter how many times you jerks called me names, there were always more people interested in what I had to say than you could scare away. And they just weren't that interested in your personal sexlife.
As long as I was an active poster on TBD_Van everything was cookin' bigtime. Whenever I went away - so did the Board. Any other Board that I have been active on, during or since then has been doing equally great - public or private. Contrary to your fond wishes - I'm what made it happen. Still am. The record is right there in the archive and is clear as a bell for anybody to see for themselves: [r] posts something interesting, KR and Ulysses jump all over it with vulgar pointless insults, [r] slaughters both of them with devastating wit and wisdom yet has enough left over for any other dimbulbs who want some. Twenty times a week.
TBD_Van has been pretty slow lately - I've been busy on two other Boards and only have enough posting budget to get involved once a week or so. And, the people who are loyal to the Vancouver scene are happy the way it is for now.
Anyway, I wanted to give you dubious dickheads an easy, unchallenged year to build up your cute little treehouse before I cut down the tree.
Heads Up Doofus!
