Irish mercenaries, unionist coat trailers and the Bard of Dunclug

[bignifanatic]

Neil is happy to talk to anyone about what he said, what he said was meant in jest and was not meant to cause harm.

So he did say it

Say what exactly?

Neil says a lot of things.

McSparran has been waiting his chance to sink the board - he has form in this regard:

The boys on the Antrim thread better watch out - only say nice things from now on or you'll have the good doctor on your case.

He can stick his oakley wrap around shades up his hole,the gloves are off.

haha. "oops" i hear u cry

[bignifanatic]

I agree with the good doctor. Given the way people on this site shamelessly lambast British citizens in good standing the site should be closed down.

If you knew Neil you would know he is a decent man and leave him alone.

See, I missed the start of our game. Bye Bye.

[TORGAEL]

No one is arguing that he may or may not be a decent man, but he made an incredibly poor lapse in judgement for someone in public office to post the comment and previous comments that he did. You sound ridiculous trying to defend him by saying "leave him alone" and "the board should be closed down". Its the playground defense of a child !

I think since this has gone national now is time for the mods to step in and tell us whether all the bards posts were from the same IP address and also whether there are any other posters on here posting from the same IP address as the bard. I smell something very odd about this, especially with these brainless defences from Bignifanatic. What are the mods afraid of???

Unless I missed something

Can we say for sure that this was indeed the person in question, or at the very least it was him who registered and it was his computer(ip address) that those comments were being posted from?

Surely this is needed before we say anything more. If I was the councilor in question, I would be demanding that this information was made available, so that he could clear his name?

[the green man]

Don't let the buggers get you down, Neil

[Baile an tuaigh]

Thats funny, I am having lunch overlooking the skyline in Chicago, I picked up my phone  and called Neil, lo and behold he answered the call.

Talking a bout funny i'am only a puck of the ball away  from there right now. Are you residing here or are you in for the marathon?

They are afraid of offending the OWC crowd.  The Mods need to grow some balls and be honest with genuine patrons who frequent their forums on this issue

Skull, it's his email address and as Fionn pointed out in some thread he would have had to use his address to verify his account - I don't think he's denying the bard is him, just that he's made one of the disgraceful comments.

I don't know what the mods can do?

Bignifanatic, if you're a fan of Armstrong's I suggest you button it because you're making things worse for him.

[the green man]

Are we over reacting a bit here? The shooting comment, I don't really have a problem with. People write things on message boards to get a reaction without actually meaning it. Its the 'priest' comment I'd find more offensive, to be honest.

Don't let the buggers get you down, Neil

Think it was more than buggers !!

[the green man]

I initially had bastards down, but the font of knowledge Wiki said buggers.

[The Real Laoislad]

If someone does ring this fella will you ask him if he really landed on the moon or was it all a hoax.
