Guest sibon   #3 Posted December 31, 2021 It is nothing new.  I was one of the many people who voted in the Time Man of the Century poll. The poll hijack was arranged on Usenet.  https://www.independent.co.uk/news/meet-ronnie-o-brien-man-of-the-century-1118079.html  Poor old Ronnie, denied his moment of glory.

So going by your post, a bunch of small children, having noticed that online polls have been repeatedly hijacked in the past, decide not to run one. Yet HumbleNarrator and you, who are so desperate to have something to ridicule the Guardian about, fail to check whether the report you found is fake or not.

The Guardian have plenty i can ridicule them about. Im not desperate at all.  However i do take a more satirical view on them  Do you know what satire is?  Or do you always get so outraged when someone makes fun of the left?

Not desperate at all but still leaps on a fake report about them.  You weren't making fun of the left, you were making a fool of yourself.   Almost every post you make contributes to Mister Gee's stew.

I've only ever been altus on this forum. Also, unlike some other people, I have never flounced off the forum only to return a short while later with a new user name. However, like Mister Gee, I realise that someone's posting style never changes however many user ids they go through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
