His obituary in the newspaper certainly indicated that to be the case.

I'm sure he laughed aplenty at the ease in which he was able to wind up the bitter, twisted and terminally humourless on these forums.

3/4 empty? Fuller than normal then.

If ever there was a better quote

Really? Interesting how you found that out William.

"trolled forums with distinction"

I can think of a few words to describe someone like that, "utter legend" would be pretty much at the bottom. What a tragic, lonely, world of one life you lead if you think a troll was a "legend" in life. Very much explains your trolling postings on here, you do it for attention and in your mind "legend" status......is your real life that utterly tragic?

I have a German name but I'm from Somerset.

Thanks, we'll all sleep easier tonight knowing that.

Are you a printer?

I'll confess I don't remember Dutoni..well, only very vaguely, but the ability to troll with style certainly exists, though maybe not to the extent it once did. The ability to be friendly, humorous and almost courteous, rather than nasty and vindictive is probably a dying art to be fair, but those unsung [and unnamed] delightful trolls, largely from the past, I salute you!

My god I could be Dutch

I cannot even begin to understand the kind of person that undertakes in or celebrates the art of trolling, finding something that other people enjoy and then deliberately and consistently looking to spoil that enjoyment.

Leading a life where the only source of joy is taking joy away from others must be a pretty poor one to live.

Welcome to being a conservative MP, Voter or government.

Birds of a feather???
