Hey, don't soft pedal it, tell us what you really think Houellebecq.

>>You may be the vile ginx, but you've got nothing on Fractelle. I think it's that I can handle someone who is a nasty piece of work, if at least they're open and honest about it. Stabbing you in the front rather than the back. But Fractelle's got this whole sweetness and light facade, but from some of the stuff she says, well someone like anti would never get away with it.<<

That is probably the single most intemperate and vicious spray I have encountered on this forum.

I was about to say "shame on you", but that would be quite unnecessary. You have told us more about yourself in this one post than all the rest put together.

It actually has made me quite sad for you, that you lead such a shallow, fear-laden life that you feel the need to come out with this garbage. What possible value can it have? What possible satisfaction can it have given you, to actually spend time keying this stuff into your machine?

Staggering. Quite staggering.

You might take a valuable lesson from Fractelle's reply, by the way.

Houellebecq

Further to Ginx's and Pericles' comments, I too wish to condemn your attack on Fractelle.

Quite apart from its viciousness, it is totally unwarranted and quite out of order. It clearly demonstrates your bitterness at having met your match and being outsmarted at every move, not that Fractelle ever sets out to deliberately do that, but you do. Why perpetuate this pointless 'us' and 'them' mentality? Where's it taking us? Precisely nowhere.

Fractelle's been around OLO a lot longer than you have, old chap. She's built up a solid reputation as a fair and intellectually formidable contributor. She's one of our backbone members and you'll soon find out just how well liked and respected she is around here.

Your comments say a lot more about you than her and I'm sure she'll shake them off with the contempt they deserve.

Wow! A pack-hump!

Pericles: "That is probably the single most intemperate and vicious spray I have encountered on this forum."

What, specifically, was "vicious" about it? I'm genuinely interested, especially when you followed up with what was a pretty nasty piece of "intemperance" yourself.

stinx: "Houlles; I though septic topped the women hatred thing, but you eclipse him. "

LOL. Dear old stinxy. Insipid to the last. Opening the page to find one of your posts is like paying for a lemon and getting a slightly rancid prune painted yuellow.

Of course it's too late now, but I was deliberately creating a pantomine dramatic speel to ease my boredom. I was imitating in my head the Jerry Seinfeld/Newman relationship, and having fun with the nemesis idea. Clues might have been seen in 'She's got them all fooled! Everyone except me!'. Even the use of 'vile ginx' which I found quite amusing when it was first brought out.

I can anticipate your reaction to my explination above (something along the lines of sad attempt at a save etc), and if you don't want to believe that, tough titties really. I know the truth.

Actually, no. This condemnation is even more fun. I mean, I thought it was fun siding with the unpopular and attacking the liked, but this can bring it all to a whole new level. I was considering OLO was getting just too boring yesterday, and considering doing some work for a change, but I've changed my mind now. I've created even more dramatic effect, with the 'lead such a shallow, fear-laden life', 'single most intemperate and vicious spray I have encountered ', 'met your match and being outsmarted at every move' (actually that fits well with the nemesis bit that I was joking about, pity you're actually serious)

'around OLO a lot longer than you have, old chap'
That cracks me up. I've had so many laughs from this 'established users' clique.

Now Ginxy, my latest favourite poster. Where is the pack hunt now? The fearsom dogs protecting one of their babies as it were.

"Now for heaven's sake somebody insult somebody to help get Fractelle's topic over the ton!"

Ladies and gentlemen, whilst I do thank all subsequent posters for their participation in achieving the worthy goal of getting Fractelle's thread past the 100 post mark, guilt for some of what has transpired forces me to make it clear the above request was meant to be somewhat tongue in cheek. All in all, you have excelled yourselves. Reminds me of that old TV stalwart, 'Sunday Wrestling', with Houellebecq as the Masked Mauler in this remake, no doubt. Biff, sock, thwack, and ka-pow to the moon Lucy! Must all make for interesting explanations in some of Romany's classes in China.

Medication time!

Off topic, there was a General Discussion thread 'Why did you choose your pseudonym?' started by Ludwig in August 2008. See: http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=2044&page=0

Since that thread is now archived I will ask my question here. I am intrigued as to the pseudonym 'Houellebecq'. What are the reasons for choosing that name? What are its connotations?

On another matter, can anyone post a link to the discussion where Belly revealed his real name? I haven't seen him on the Forum for some time now, not even lurking. There just might be some recent mention of him in a Newcastle paper. I hope its only that he has blown his computer up, and not that he has had an accident or worse. Surely Sussex St wouldn't have required that he cease posting, would it?

'What are the reasons for choosing that name? What are its connotations?'

Forest you're not one to spell things out yourself, and I think it's pretty self evident especially in light of my recent antics. Perhaps that's why you asked?
