I've been lurking on RAWK for years without ever posting (far too many argumentative fuckers on there, makes this place look docile) and there's a ToneLa who posts there with a wrestling avatar so I'm assuming it's the same guy. He seemed sound, I'll miss him.

I don't understand the need to announce your departure though, just stop posting until you calm down and look at it differently. Then just don't post anymore if you still feel the same.  If you've announced it then I'm pretty sure a lot of people would never come back just because they don't want to look silly, there's probably few good posters who are depriving themselves because of stubbornness.

Anyway, I hope he's not one of them, as I say he was sound.
Some of it I think is by making the floucne post it an admittace to themselves that they have a problem, sometimes its not even forum related, by they feel there behavoiur has become erractic or not what they hoped it would be, often depression or substance abuse can be a factor. I feel Tone may fall in this catagory and because of the postion his life is in Biggytitbo has become a personfication of all his percieved misjustices with the politcial system. I do hope he pops in to the (spam) chatroom as hes always welcome. I think hes just going through a difficult period.

Had the pleasure of meeting ToneLa at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

Hopefully ToneLa will be back again at some point. He's a good lad.

Yes, again I agree, but he really has to get past the biggy thing, or block him. It's simply not fair to be making increasingly frequent criticisms of him - repeatedly calling for admin intervention - from a new profile, that doesn't carry the history, baggage and context of the old one.

I don't disagree. He's obviously going to have to learn that there will always be people on here who he disagrees with and the only way to get around that is to either not be too emotionally invested in the place or just identify the people who rile him and ignore them. So many people on this place have flounced and eventually come back (often a few times, myself included), so hopefully he'll decide to as well.

I think I'm going to take a break for a few weeks and see how I feel about coming back in a reduced capacity after.

It breaks my heart to report that since having posted in this thread you have little choice.

Bah. I thought I was one of the very few people what knew ToneLa was New Jack ( I surmised this when he'd written about former Post Office work; he'd also written me a lovely PM , in which he stated " I'm New Jack me" ).

Danger Man's still a cunt, though; and Phil Collins * did* write that fucking, appalling, wanky song about homeless types; these are just facts.

If you make 3000 odd posts in 2 months you probably need to take a little break. This is not a judgement it's just fact innit. Nobody wants to see anyone go full-Glinner

Where is that edit glitch person when you need them?

I've done flounce posts before, it's usually just to reinforce my intentions by adding some shame to the prospect of returning quickly.


A forum the size of this place can be extremely addictive to someone like me. There's almost always just enough activity to make make the refresh->view ->comment loop neverending. I've the site blocked for like 20 hours of every day

it was literally the most obvious thing in the entire world.

Only if you're paying attention.

I liked New Jack/ToneLa though, have a break and come back when you're ready. Please. And if not good luck with everything.

Can I ask whom the person in Imitation Leather's avatar is? Creeps me out a bit.

I like Biggy.

I like Biggy too. It probably helps that I don't engage with the EU/ conspiracy stuff but heys so much abuse thrown his way and rarely seems to respond with anything nasty

Mr Ron Hayward, Virgin Media customer and enthusiastic onanist (despite what he says).

That's my grandad you're talking about.

That's it. Outside of those he's a great bunch of lads. He really is. Inside them, however, he's absolutely intolerable.

Was starting to think you'd died, mate - I was saying last week in the (spam) chat that I was thinking of trying to find out if you were okay.
