Edit: Hey Peter, do you know of the name of this forum?

Ah, I think I know who you mean.

As for the 'other poster'....nobody knew about it. He was gone pretty quickly.

Lanny hasn't been on here in years. And he got banned after being suspended multiple times for being insulting or whatever.

I don't ever remember him saying he was starting another forum, and I was very active right at that time.

Shifting from the more general to the specific. I know I find this summer to be quite frustrating. You can expect half the threads on the Flames part of site to contain some or all of the following stunning arguments:

1) Sutter (Darryl) is an idiot
2) The Flames never give young players a chance
3) Any Flame over 30 is washed up and on a steep decline in terms of their career
4) (related to 3) Any Flame on a downward statistical trend (even if it is only for one of two years and that player may have suffered serious injuries in that timeframe) will continue that trend and has no possibility of a bounce back season
5) The Flames should just give up and aim for worst since they clearly aren't a Cup contender

I'm sure there's others.

Having to deal with those arguments on a daily basis is going to annoy anyone IMO unless you blindly believe those yourself. I applaud the patience of people who can still reasonably respond to those arguments because my patience for them has been running very thin. My frustration and hostility level has definitely gone up.

You're serious? He actually tried to start his own forum?

I still have old PMs from him where he told me what his job is. Out of respect I never shared them with anyone.

I thought he was a lecturer at some university on media studies. That's what he told me. Oh man, now you have to say what he did.

Serious? I'll go look them up. Pretty sure that isn't what he told me. I can forward it to you in case nobody will believe me.

Please dumb it down for an average joe like me. I don't know if you've noticed, but you have a history of cafe latte'ing things up a bit.

I had a business card from Lanny handed to me in person at a CP meet up once. Can't remember what it said he did but I do remember his real name which I won't say.

I remember him telling me he wished my brakes would fail (this happened to be on my birthday.) Class act that guy.
