I like to stay home for many reasons.
Hopefully I will never get into any public scrapes - seems all too easy to do by accident.

Disclaimer: I have never met any of the protagonists in this story.

By all means stay home if you like but please don't be concerned about one false step!
You'd have to do somethting majorly bad here to stir any interest in your reputation, let alone ruin it! Many people have tried and failed to ruin their reputations, including all kinds of professionals etc.

Well it was a bit different in his case. The Guvnor who set up the site in 2003 was a very inoffensive guy. He liked the banter and just set it up originally to stay in touch with friends abroad, it was pre-Facebook. It was very irreverent but it was quite funny and there was no meanness. He was too busy to bother with it so KIR bought it and changed it a bit. He encouraged the "rudeness" which he insisted was in a Jamaican sense. He could be quite abrasive though and got into vendettas and used the forum to propagate these. Some were valid but others were just petty squabbles. He got a bit too involved in the site. He pissed a lot of people off with his "Fuck off cocktrumpet"+ banhammer. It got him really stressed out and had a huge affect on his demise. He couldn't go to places because he was worried he'd bump into someone who he had pissed off online. Scobienz was a lot more reasonable. He did some weird moves at the end though by creating loads of sock-puppets. Miguelito seemed quite reasonable and neutral. The new owner has tried to make the place a bit more friendly, however I think KIR ruined the site's reputation. Bless his rotten socks.

No blowjobs, but if they believe you’re unvaccinated it’s not just the fish they’ll ‘batter’ for you

You and you friend sure like your own jokes. When you cry with laughter, does it sound like others are laughing too?

"Blowhard" seems more appropriate. nope. It's a loner thing
