The name of the page says it all. It's a photo of a news item showing some bloke called Dr Whet Faartz with the phrase Comisario de la Explosion underneath. The fact he looks like Russel Crowe playing Noah adds to the chuckle for me.

You know you could have just held your hands up and said OK rather than going to the effort of deleting your account and starting up a new one. Anyway I'm going to leave it here.

Huh? What are you talking about, dear Sir?

You know exactly what I'm talking about.
See that's one of my main problems with you, you think everybody is thick.
I would have sussed you even if your choice of name[^] wasn't so obvious.

Sorry, missed replying to your post before it was deleted.
No, no disappointment here. I feel a little foolish that my memory let me down - I guess I'd read/heard the figure of 21 weeks and recalled it as 21 months. I'm really not conversant with the figures for training casualties in armies across the world, though the training record of the Australian SAS alarms me. I cant find it just now, but my (probably faulty) memory is that roughly 90% of Australian SAS deaths have occurred during training exercises. The point being that training in and of itself is not an endeavour that comes without risk.
Not sure how my message came across as insincere, you've mistaken my intentions entirely. I said what I meant and am rather curious as to your reason for jumping to such a conclusion.
I was a little put-out by (a) the fact that the user-name was changed From Marco Bertschi to Member8888914 and (b) the country was changed from Switzerland to Afghanistan, but they're both entirely irrelevant. I checked the profile and realized the change in identity as a result of recognizing the sig. It was a quote from Dalek Dave and one I knew I'd read in someone's sig recently. Curiosity dictated that I follow the rabbit down the hole, whereupon I discovered the attempt at disguising the identity before the account was nuked. (The protector icon helped somewhat in the identification of an anomaly)

Brilliant. Although I had already seen these deleted posts (There was another on the Phew Thread).
Another one to add to the list Marco.

Well, I don't know how you've come to the conclusion that this user is Marco re-incarnated, but I'll take your word for it, since it makes no difference to me. Anyone could be forgiven for thinking that the conversation you kept having with Marco was a lover's tiff.
Which, I don't propose for a second it is, that would be ludicrous.
It just seems odd to me that each of you got so bent out of shape yesterday - like each of you were trying to convince the other of the error of their ways. I didn't follow along from the point that it turned sour for each of you on this site, but never-to-mind. It clearly kept you both occupied and likely provided a source of mirth for many other casual observers.
There's no need to agree with everyone, but the world is a much sweeter place if we can all just get along. Thanks for the lulz.

You and Marco got a bit carried away yesterday, and it escalated into a gentle warning from Sean, directed at both of you.
Please, don't start it again - particularly when Dropkicked Murphy may or may not be who you think he is, and has done nothing offencive or even mildly annoying.
Let's just leave it out, eh? Because it can't end well...

I find reporting every post I have made this morning as mildly annoying (He will deny this as he is a serial liar). BTW by a strange coincidence Marco use to do this too.
Also reporting lots of messages of mine that I made yesterday, that he also reported as Marco, amount to an abuse of the system.

No, I'm not.
I have no evidence who DM is or isn't- and neither do you - I know exactly who you are assuming he is, but that is "faith" rather than "science" and I don't have truck with that.
DM may or may not have reported you - only the admins can tell, and they won't - but I would have to say I could understand people reporting you for trying to start a flame war in the lounge if that is the posts you are referring to! So it may not have been one person only, let alone one specific person: there are some very twitchy trigger fingers round here as you well know...
Please, calm down, ignore it, and let's all move on with our lives!

Please can we have a bet on this.
OriginalGriff wrote: DM may or may not have reported you
Can we have a bet on this also. Double or quits
OriginalGriff wrote: Please, calm down, ignore it, and let's all move on with our lives!
This is hard to explain - What I can't abide is people who run around reporting people, acting like Traffic Wardens but who abuse the system themselves. As far as I can make out the report system was put in place primarily to get rid of the Spam. It was not meant for people to try to vote off people they don't like. Voting for the same message to be removed twice, under two different accounts, in my book is one of the worst abuses off this site a lot worse than posting an abusive message. Now if that offence is committed by the same person who runs around like he is the sites personally appointed Traffic Warden then that is wrong.
Now, if you've taken me up on the last two bets you are going to be a bit light in the pocket and your Missus will be peeved, so I'll give you one last chance. Double or Quits. That I have messages that are reported by both Marco and Dropkick.
I'm just off to tell my Boss I might be retiring Today.
