Hi Harvey, stick with me. All the newbees pm me to talk about the site. Ignore the new people, and the old ones, basically Me and Martin are all you'll need.
One thing to remember. Do you remember when your parents used to say 'Don't try and be funny with me', well it's kind of a motto here

offlineMemberThanks Skoob 1999. I've been watching from the sidelines for ages, but was never brave enough to join in.
Now I can see that there are lots of different types of writers with loads of styles, I felt that I could maybe give it a go.
Are you an official 'Greeter' or something?

offlineMemberThat's where you're wrong, Perks. He has one account only.... Martin Shuttlecock, the rest are trolls out to make mischief and you're being suckered in. Don't let your dislike of Martin see stupid trolls interfere with a good site.
*Waits to get abuse*

offlineMemberHe's a good man and writes for Spoof as Skoob1999. The Skoob1999 on here is a troll along with a number of others and is out to make mischief. If people would just give Martin a chance, get off his case and realise that these idiots are a bunch of fruitloops that won't leave him alone, I'm sure things could be really good between you all.

Not sure where you get the feeling I dislike Mr Shuttlecock.
It is odd that when he came he so did alot of other IDs, some with similar names, and 1 with his other ID. Why would someone be out to get him. I think others agree with me but at the moment you say something people don't like and you end up in some spoofesque arguement.
I neither hate nor like Martin (despite him refering to me as a prick previously), it's just all a bit odd
There is also a lot of shit on this site at the moment, with people writing the first thing thats in their head about Jimmy fucking Savile that is not remotely funny anymore, but that is a personal view that is no doubt wrong

offlineMemberNice to see someone can spell Savile correctly Perks.
Yep, Mr Humphrey's, I've become so worried about being accused of being a 'Martin Bash
irer, that I'm prefacing all my comments to him with a qualifying statement.That's not right, but it's the way Mr Shuttlecock and his cohorts have made me behave.
Whether he has multiple IDs or not, there are a number of his chums from another site who all seem to write in a very similar way to him, and that does tend to arouse suspicions.

offlineMemberSorry for the delay, I was on a call from my husband. I'm female and know that Martin is a good man....not anything to do with me by the way. I live in another country. If it were me this were happening to I'd have probably gone round the bend by now. Its been a malicious sustained effort by these trolls to discredit him. They're probably reading and laughing, thinking up their next load of rubbish.
He's not bullshitting you with this story of them following him and making mischief, they genuinely are.
I just got tired of seeing them do this to him and felt I needed to say something.

offlineMemberFrom what I can gather there was some disagreement/argument on another site (Spoof) I believe. I wasn't around at the time. Someone thinks that Martin (the real Skoob1999) got someone banned, but he wasn't responsible for it. You'll have to ask Martin for the details, but he genuinely isn't a bad guy.

Maybe, maybe not. What I can say is I can see why people would get annoyed with him. My only interaction with him was for commenting on a good sub and being accused of gushing (the same interaction in which he called me a prick). Add to that his moaning about how newbies get ignored. Presuming he meant his mates, I think thats because any feedback was met with hostility, or people didn't find it funny. You seem to be very fond of him, so maybe if he comes across less aggressive people may not try to get at him. He admited he came with an attitude to 'get a reaction' and moaned about the reaction he got.
This site is/was different from others in that you sub and then others add to that constructively. Now people seem to comment with one word or not at all for fear of argument. I'm not saying that is Martin's fault, but it is a relitivly recent issue, and it takes the site away from it's core encouragment value.
Sorry a bit of a rant, and it is just my opinion and why I sub here less than before, butthats the way it goed I suppose

Mr Humphries
offlineMemberWould you be prepared to give him another chance? Deep down he's a good guy and would be an asset to any site. Like most men he can do a spot of chest beating, but he's the first to acknowledge his mistakes and has tried to help so many people on Spoof. He'll probably not thank me for all this, but I couldn't sit back and watch it any longer.
Like you, its difficult for him to know who are the genuine people on here and who are the trolls that follow him about. Makes everyone a bit tetchy.
I wish everyone would just give him a break, is all.

Martin Shuttlecock
offlineMemberLook, whatever I've said is true. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I came here to offer support to a friend. And Perks - I apologise for calling you what I did. I make no excuses for that. It was a childish response to being called something a little more basic than that.
The only ID's I have on the internet are Martin Shuttlecock (here) and Skoob1999 (On the Spoof). I've been trolled for the reasons Mr Humphries referred to above. The reason why they do it here is because they can't access the Spoof.
The reason why I'm explaining this is that these people are trashing your site, and as I said in an apology I issued earlier, that just isn't fair to you guys or NB. I come here daily to see what - if anything - my mate's been writing. It's only when I post a comment or try a one-liner that these creeps come out of the woodwork.
As far as I can see, the answer's simple. I close my account here, and if I want to catch up on what my mate's up to - I sign up again under a user name that none of these idiots will recognise.
I am genuinely sorry for bringing these idiots - albeit inadvertently - to your attention. And as for their input - not a single one of them could ever write for shit in the first place.
Again, apologies all round. What those people write when they're on top form would be of little more interest than your average toilet roll.
