Astonishing when you think about it.

I know we South Africans like to think we have a depth of talent but really, compared to that we're actually very thin.

Koos Kombuis's last rugby post Beeno was about the All Blacks...he must be itching to come back but hides in your trumpet section...poor ol' Rooi...a victim of his own folly...he too must learn to ease up and laugh at himself...lol

Hhahahahhaha ou rooitwit feels he would be overdoing his clown show by posting on the rugby section.

Moenie worrie nie rooitwit we can cope!

Moz doesn't mess around. Damn! 

Dare I ask what this is all about? 

AO a couple of guys got bored and spiteful and started sabotaging threads with margins...I think it started with Sonny Bill, a notorious margin destroyer, did more damage to margins than the real Sonny Bill did to his opponents...lol, then others picked up this up to sabotage threads of posters they did not like, including Rooinek, Mozart and even the moderate and gentleman Draad. (there were others too but I cannot remember)

Ed had to step in and fix it so that these wreckers of margins efforts were null and void...actually it was quite funny, at least to those with a tainted sense of humour.

Not so funny when it reached the stage where pretty much every thread started on the board was destroyed in this way. It ended up literally killing the board as a platform for discussion.

Seb, I never deliberately wrecked a thread....ever. The above was a test to see if the problem was fixed...which it was.

So in other words, handbags at dawn. 

Mozart

Rooinek did not start anything - he made the critical mistake of differing from you and a decade-long bun fight ensued,   In that fight there were serious defect in both sides and at times it was clear that you were even more vicious that any opponents would ever be.

The same happened in the case of Dave nd other members you in your childishness drove from the site.   You have been trying the same stunts on me but the only effect was disgust at your immaturity. 

You were no angel and that is a fact.      

Apologise Draad, I now see that but as Pakie says it is not really funny and it is actually very off-putting to new posters and those who take this seriously.

On a lighter note on Beeno's Trumpet, it was invaded by a mole (spammer) called Borado, which nearly wiped out the trumpet blast for quite some time...of which Rooiaas remarked that Borado had achieved something successful that he failed to do...quite funny. Hahahaha...now Koos Kombuis hides there spouting all his liberal and globalist supporting views...I find this very funny.

Poor old mean-spirited Rooiaas has at last found a type of release and he thanks Baboon-O for a home...he seems too timid to come back on the rugby forum these days

Are you getting  the lunatic giggle again????  

Seb rooitwit is so obsessed with me he couldn't stay away. ts not a healthy situation of course but what to do!

Ou maaaaikie your obsession with Dr Moz is eating you up. Get over it oak you are sinki ng fast!
