I left in 2012 due to the non-stop horrible crap that 'Dalek Dave' was posting, I see he's been gone awhile (no loss there).
Anything big happen here in the last 5 years while I was gone?
There is no failure only feedback

You demonstrated what it takes for you to leave, and, in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't much.
|
|
|
|
|
What was horrible about what he was posting?
|
|
|
|

He ran off to become a politician. Is that not horrible enough?

Well, it's not a crime...

That's a question of the perspective.

Right. To quote the namegiver of the Teddybear:
Quote: Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat

I don't think I'd use "mighty things" or "glorious triumphs" to describe tory local politics.

Nor DD, to be precise.
Do we have some icon for sarcasm?

I don't need one.
I mean, redundancy has value in the right places, but...

I'm pretty sure Dave was defeated. Twice, if I remember right

It would have been much better if he ran off to join the circus. The clowns there do much less damage...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

There is always someone who annoys someone else around here, so chances are that you'll find someone else to be annoyed by.
You yourself are a nuisance to some and a cool guy to others. Don't take anything here too personal. It is hard to really know someone by some ASCII text on a forum and to make matters worse, I guess some see it as a form of a role playing game and have a different character than in real life.

Sysadmins are wise high level monks and their wisdom adds to their AC. And they can become ethereal at will, so... I wouldn't use that sword.

Apparently I'm as wonderful and amazing on here as I am in real life. Go figure

Yep. I was welcomed here by a John Wayne imitator. All that followed were much easier to live with.

Nothing much. UFOs landed on the White House lawn, we welcomed our Robot Overlords, and DD left.
Oh, and Donald Trump was elected President of the US.

Dalek Dave was a nob with issues, someone else said that we all are to someone - yes, but that doesn't make it any less annoying! Him and his sycophants were the main reason for me not hanging around here so much in the last few years too - pity CP doesn't have a 'block' facility like FB to filter out that kind of stuff, it gets kind of tedious sometime trawling through the crap to find something interesting here but these days if things get too dull or annoying I can always resort to doing some work!!
