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 ?

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.
Talking of creeps, do you remember Night Cleaner ?
 
In the aftermath of the Runcorn & Helsby result, this is a great example of how the AVF echo chamber works and the general "head in the sand" attitude of the regular left wing posters. Someone puts up the post below as a thread starter and it hasn't gone down very well! Replies like "Nearly threw up in my mouth seeing this thread" and "Absolutely no need for this thread, I hope the mods close it". :ROFLMAO:

"The recent election results have shown a swing away from both Conservative and Labour. Leaving a gap that seems to be filled with Reform.
I agree that Conservatives made themselves unelectable, Labour are fast doing the same.
Lib Dem have a leader who is doing his level best to sabotage the party's credibility. There seems to be little talk of them being a contender.
Does this point to the real possibility of Nigel Farage being Britains next prime Minister?
A similar scenario played out in the USA and they now have Trump."

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.
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.

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.

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 🤫

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.
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.
I used to be on DS too many many years ago, mainly on a KP thread (which always got shut down) and Reality TV forum - American Idol, Masterchef and Strictly mainly.

Another nice poster who I hope is well - The large Controller. He was always kind and amusing.

I couldn't make head nor tale of her posts either.

Who was the DS user who used to post like this ?
I remember that it used to drive others up the wall.

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 DS was my very first forum, reading this is bringing back some memories! Who was the user who used to talk about ‘the Twitter’ 😄

Edit: I see EbonyHamster/TinkTinkTinkerbell has been discussed! Rest her soul.

He was a lovely chap, I was very sad to hear of his passing. He was often mentioned by Steve Allen 🥲
Oh yes, he did! I'd forgotten about that. Paul from Manchesterford as Steve Allen would say on the messages he read out.

I'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.
