I quite liked Sulla with his one liner wind ups.
I used to feel sorry for him, he was harmless but endlessly baited and trolled. Someone on Sleeping Dogs forum is on there today saying their greatest achievement was getting him banned from DS.

I never agreed with him but I respected GreatGodPan. He was true to his beliefs and was an argumentative fucker but he was always courteous and informed. This was despite being constantly baited. He did have a tendency to ignore direct questions though.

It was a shame he was banned for Brexit wrongthink.
Thats the one I wa trying to remember when I mentioned Sulla. I can't imagine why he got banned as he really kept his cool against some shocking baiting.

I always thought he was innocuous. I don't remember him ever saying anything untoward.

A few others I remember and used to like - Mrs Teapot, Sid 1979, Sofa Judge, Simmons something or other, mathertron, Benny1982 ...I got on well with all of those.
 
I think the only forum (That I can think of ) that was more toxic then DS, was Barryboys.

A car forum that was dedicated to the weird and horrible side of car modifications. The Clique in that place was horrible.
There was one forum I remember from around 10+ years back called JamesStGeorge. Basically had all the open racists from the old BBC Have Your Say boards. There was one particular poster who would go on about black ladies on planes and their "dusky smell". I think Proboards eventually closed it down.

The Money Saving Expert forum used to be quite gammony as well, in particular the Discussion Arms sub-forum. That ending up getting shut down as well.
 
To add some positivity here, who are/were some DS posters that you liked?
Also way back when I remember a poster called Cultist or something who did a LOL hilarious Big Brother satire, and another one about I’m a celebrity. Wouldn’t have lasted five minutes today.

Sulla was one of the worst baiters in politics forum. I remember he was quite misogynistic in the Question Time threads

I honestly never got that impression from MSE. Perhaps I never lurked there enough?

I wasnt keen on him , but i would never have actively sought to get him banned, i think i might have been already pissed off about stuff anyway and he was just the poster who happened to be a bit off with me and i had a go at him, before that he hadnt bothered me, so i might well have been sensitive that day and he suffered :D i wasnt keen on his odd humour though

I personally didn't get that impression - I love a dry sense of humour which he had but a lot of people didn't understand it. He was never nasty to anyone and didn't deserve to get banned.

Isn't Tanya the person who once wanted people to take some sort of society test before they can vote? Seemed like she wanted to weed out those with different political views to her from the electoral register.
Indeed. It was genuinely frightening what she was suggesting. I was one of the few who called her out on it at the time.

I've generally not engaged with her apart from that moment. It was just so abhorrent I had to say something.

Is it a requirement to be a massive fantasist to be a DS member?
No, or I wouldn’t have got in. 😀 There’s lots of “normal” posters on there. That’s not to say we all agree with each other all the time. But we’re not ALL weird 😀
