Does anyone remember The Wizard ? He was a massive snob who had high standards and was suing a Pub towards the end of his time on DS I think ?
Talking of creeps, do you remember Night Cleaner ?There was Grand Dizzy, who was very opinionated but really showed his true colours in a thread about catcalling. He confessed to seeing "unattractive" women in the street, riding up slowly behind them on his bike and whistling, but "quietly" apparently. He argued that he was trying to boost their self-confidence or something, and got really angry with the majority who told him he was a creep.
Unfortuantely yes. I mentioned him upthread. He's another poster who I think might have died.Talking of creeps, do you remember Night Cleaner ?
I remember Soma from the LBC thread, understandably got very short shrift on there but for some reason was always nice to me, never knew why.I was thinking about this topic, and some of these DS users popped into my head-
Pumping Iron - Was half white British/Chinese and had some interesting stories to tell. I think he ever wound anybody up or got into trouble. He was banned when he simply suggested to another member that discussing Trans related stuff will rile some people up.
Soma - A Muslim who started the 'Viking Muslims' thread amongst others. Would get very snotty if she thought you were calling out anything about Islam. Was'nt banned, but just stopped posting.
UlsterGuy - A hardcore Sectarian Protestant from Belfast. Said some horrible stuff about Women and Homosexuals. Was found to be bullying another Irish user.
Soma was very odd and was a prolific poster who suddenly disappeared. I'm sure Iain Dale, who would post occasionally, was convinced they were some activist but I can't for life off me think who it was.I remember Soma from the LBC thread, understandably got very short shrift on there but for some reason was always nice to me, never knew why.
She did get banned but it wasn’t a perma one, she was entitled to post again but never returned.. not such a terrible thing as she created so many grey spaces on my own pages, and it wasn’t a case of whether or not I agreed or disagreed with her I just couldn’t get my head round what she was on aboutSoma was very odd and was a prolific poster who suddenly disappeared.

Skimming through this thread, sorry for quoting old post, there's a poster on here with that exact name who also at times speaks about her trauma, may be the same person.Anne666 was mentioned a few pages back. I do wonder if she passed on? As it’s unusual to suddenly stop all activity like she did.
oh just seen this so my previous post was clearly incorrect.Someone asked about DS poster Anne666 I asked a friend from DS she is well but doesn’t do social media just thought I would let those asking know.
It is interesting to see clearly different people using the same username on different sites.oh just seen this so my previous post was clearly incorrect.
I couldn't make head nor tale of her posts either.She did get banned but it wasn’t a perma one, she was entitled to post again but never returned.. not such a terrible thing as she created so many grey spaces on my own pages, and it wasn’t a case of whether or not I agreed or disagreed with her I just couldn’t get my head round what she was on about.. don’t know if the problem lay with her or me

Post like what?Who was the DS user who used to post like this ?
I remember that it used to drive others up the wall.
This is what I meant. Said person used to always post in the middle of the form.Post like what?
Edit: I can see when I quoted your post the way you’ve spaced your second sentence but unfortunately it’s not obvious on my phone as your post just looks normal

Oh yes, he did! I'd forgotten about that. Paul from Manchesterford as Steve Allen would say on the messages he read out.He was a lovely chap, I was very sad to hear of his passing. He was often mentioned by Steve Allen 🥲
They are still a regular poster on DSI've remembered the poster I mentioned up-thread. Refers to women as 'lasses' and said if a woman pisses him off he will hit her - zx50, an absolute melt.
