VP959 has sought escape here...
Hi All,
I see some well-known characters have already moved in here - I've joined mainly to chat with refugees from "the other place" and try to escape the tiresome trolling by one individual over there. I promise to be well behaved (well, as well behaved as a pensioner can be expected to be).

Welcome to another refugee. Your recent insight into Salisbury has been most interesting. Hope the weather here suits you.

Re: VP959 has sought escape here...
Thank you for the kind words. From what I've read here so far I'm sure the outlook will be fine.

Oh dear, we were hoping for something better than that.I promise to be well behaved (well, as well behaved as a pensioner can be expected to be).
Welcome to a non regulated free spirit zone, it may take you some time to adjust, nice to see you.

Re: VP959 has sought escape here...
I fear it might - I've become somewhat used to both dodging errant moderators and also the resident troll on "the other place"; it has made me read things through several times before posting for fear of unwittingly causing provocation. I find it hard to understand how "the other place" has descended to the way it is now - it seems counter-intuitive for a profit-making enterprise to drive away most of the most popular content providers, and make more work for the moderators to boot.

VP959, you're thinking like an intelligent and logical person. Don't, because that's not what you're dealing with at Pprune.

Yup, this is a thought police antagonist-free zone and the better for it. I put him on 'ignore' so I didn't see his vitriolic dribblings. I frequent other forums and I'm fairly sure he posts on them under different pseudonyms but the content style is always the same.

Re: VP959 has sought escape here...
Thanks for the welcome - I've had the same individual on ignore for over a year now, but others just quote his vitriolic drivel, so I may as well not bother!

Welcome, VP959 - I had that troll on ignore for a long time but agree it was frustrating when others kept quoting him.

I'm afraid we have one here too, a certain Mr. Hill.

Re: VP959 has sought escape here...
Cape I have it on the best of authority that John is not a troll.
Perhaps Mr VP could do us the courtesy of introducing himself - proper like. It's been an awfully long time since I was banned on TOP and have no recollection of his adventures there.

Re: VP959 has sought escape here...
Welcome VP - as a long time reader and some time poster on TOP I appreciated the depth of your knowledge. Now as a long time reader here and very recent poster I look forward to more of the same. Yet to get to know people here but where else would allow such wonderfully unPC remarks from amongst others the Thailand correspondent. Brilliant. Many many thanks to Alison and the anonymous donor.
