Oh! It seems that Anton (aka FMBMJDRT) The Crazy Russian has been Chucked Off QZ, and holds me responsible. I think so anyway... he wrote to me earlier on.... "Everybody's laugh when you moan from strenghless." Answers on a postcard please, if you know what this means. I didn't report him, but he believes I did, and again there's no telling him anything different. I've told him... if I reported him I'd HAPPILY tell him so. Why wouldn't I tell him? It would be a pleasure - but as it happens, I didn't. Granted, the thread I started might have been partly responsible, because therein someone offered a great story about his death threat to them. I'm guessing that threatening to kill QZers with sharp knives is enough to get you banned. Fair enough. Anyway... for anyone interested. This is what dear Anton had to say in his 7 emails to me this evening.... >>> Tell me, fatty, why the hell did you have to report me to the administrators of Queenzone so that they removed me from the forum? You want me to send you letters? I'm gonna do it. You're another clown at Queenzone. You're posts such stupid and mindless that everybody thinks that Jim beach chose not those person for Queen Archives. Well, what I can say, you're another jackass for queenzone. Everybody's laugh when you moan from strenghless. With love, cool guy Anton is not a happy man! And yet he signs off with 'love'. That's rather nice isn't it. |

I'm pretty sure he is. Always thought he was anyway. Nothing prevents him from using a previous unbanned login, or having multiple nics. Anyway, maybe all this inflated and self fascinated GB rambling will reach some sort of tipping point where he spends enough time here to sort out that neither he or his experience are particularly special and that Anton getting banned is a semi-regular event barely worthy of it's own thread and weighty puffery. |

Can anyone imagine Queenzone without Greg Brooks? Whatever would we do? He brings so very much to the table, such as... ..err ..hmm ...tumbleweed |
GratefulFan 19.12.2012 09:24 |
God, how embarrassing! Its/it's I know, but for whatever reason it's a mistake I make often enough through inattention. But, and this is the worst part, that subject-verb agreement thing still sounds perfectly good to my ears. Christ, I'm a mess! But, I'm willing to learn. Willing to practice. And yes, eternally grateful for people who have a good handle on the important things in life. To that end, here is my best and no doubt comma impaired shot at practice at avoiding some of the grammar traps most offensive to the internet intelligentsia, which clearly does not include me, though I blushingly confess that using colons makes me feel smart. Douchiness and overweaning self-importance are the hallmarks of the internet's loneliest: grammar Nazis. Is overweaning self-importance or douchiness the greater hallmark of the grammar Nazi, arguably the most tedious of that unfortuante class, the internet tool? In Greg Brooks' latest book 'Alone with my Cardigan' he shares his view that if you use your opposite hand, blessedly it feels like it's somebody else. If your game and dress sense aren't what they used to be you're well advised to pick up Greg Brooks' latest book for its wealth of sad, helpful tips. 98% of mental health experts believe their extensive research indicates that the use of all caps on the Internet is positively correlated with eleventy personality disorders. Anecdotal evidence on Queenzone suggests they're right. During Greg's latest presentation the audience of Queen fans was on its feet, out in the hallway munching on crisps by the vending machines and seeing how long they could hold their hands in buckets of ice. Any help is gratefully appreciated. I'm happy to humbly practice all day. |
Kevinrm15 19.12.2012 10:39 |
Dammit shut up all of you! You guys deserve to be treated by Greg the way he does! And he is only like that cause you always had something wise to say first. Trust me, I'm the same way as Greg. He is not a bad person at all! He gave me the second edition of his live book for FREE & SIGNED! I originally offered to pay money for it! So go think about that before you post bullshit next time! |

Greg Brooks, Queen Archivist? Dillusions of grandeur seem to be on display, here, Greg. You don't think you are the archivist for HRH, do you? Also what have you ever archived and got out there for the real fans? Not much, have you? Anyone who's favourite Queen album is Jazz, should be left well alone when it comes to recommending to me, which Queen things I should listen to, thank you very much. Also your attempt at humour, '183 Snickers bars', for example, ain't really gonna get you in at the Edingburgh Festival, is it? Also a point that has been made many times before, just lay of the sauce, before you post on here, with you holier than thou, themes. They are tiresome and boring. I could lose you at the first roundabout, Greg, when it comes to knowledge about Queen, no matter how much hidden stuff you have heard and know. Don't abuse your position in QPL, cos you might just get bitten on the arse, one day. |

And I say "tried" to humiliate her with, as she is quite thick-skinned, too. These are the qualities that make her a popular character here on QZ. You, on the other hand, bring absolutely NOTHING of use nor value to the table. So what if GF is prone to the odd lapse in concentration? We ALL are!
