His posting style is quirky and interesting. I couldn't replicate the fascinating syntax he uses but I can usually understand it, better than most it seems, unless people are exaggerating for effect.

He is also quite the gentleman and rarely gets het up despite provocation.

Bit of a crush now

AIBU?

I'm not convinced they are the same person. Scousy seems to be aBOut MAKing poliTICAl poINTs albeit in a bizarre way. Gabby was just a load of stream of consciousness nonsense.

tomhardyismydh · 05/06/2011 19:42

YANBU to appreciate the input from another poster but a bit UR to make a thread about it.

How do you know gabby or scous is a man?

Hassled · 05/06/2011 19:45

Both have referred to their wife - and yes, I think they're the same. And I agree - eccentric and weird unusual, but always gentle and never rude.

TheFlyingOnion · 05/06/2011 19:48

YABU, 100% of his output makes me Angry

And scousy can get stream-of-consciousness too... also definitely a nutter man.

nethunsreject · 05/06/2011 19:50

I get you, op,

well, except the crush bit!

tomhardyismydh · 05/06/2011 19:54

I think threads like this have the fear to invite some very negative posters and that would be very unfair for the person your post is about.

Glitterknickaz · 05/06/2011 19:55

YANBU.
A bit incoherent at times but heart in the right place.

ZXEightyMum · 05/06/2011 19:56

I would love to know if Gabby Logan knows that she is being brought into political arguments on MN so frequently.

Scousy mentioned Kenny Logan earlier. See? He is very funny and smart.

Johnny Logan (remember him?) is still to come.

I love gabby/scousy

ShellyBoobs · 05/06/2011 19:59

Ah this is interesting.

I haven't been here long, but have only ever found Scousy's threads annoying but I think I've been mistaken in assuming some most of the posts are 'ranty'. I've now realised there's a user-keyboard interface issue; the capitals aren't actually meant as shouting, it seems, just ropey typing. Blush

I do get miffed with the political angle put on everything though because, generally, it detracts from the subject of the thread.

ZXEightyMum · 05/06/2011 20:01

"I think threads like this have the fear to invite some very negative posters and that would be very unfair for the person your post is about"

Oh. But the negative people tend to say their piece on the actual threads. I meant this to be a positive one however it is in AIBU and thus inviting opinions. Feck.

No one is really going to spoil it though are they? They'd be complete cunts if they did.

AnyFuleKno · 05/06/2011 20:01

I don't think it's the same person, although I did notice Gabby using a different name.

I don't find it amusing though. I find it tiresome to see the same scenario played out again and again. OP complete nonsense followed by loads of people trying to make sense of it. Gabby ignores questions and just posts loads of unconnected paranoia about the police and journalists.

KurriKurri · 05/06/2011 20:42

I'm always inexplicably drawn to his threads, and sometimes even find myself referring to David Cameroony Grin

BornInAfrica · 05/06/2011 20:44

Nope. The threads are boring, repetitive, badly written with shocking grammar and spelling and above all unbelievably tiresome since every single one has to have some fucking boring anti-Cameron rant in it.

TheFlyingOnion · 05/06/2011 20:44

well said BIA

TheFlyingOnion · 05/06/2011 20:45

can you hide all the threads from a certain poster, btw?

BornInAfrica · 05/06/2011 20:49

I hide them as they come up because the urge to tell that poster just exactly what kind of a addled raving fuckwit they really are is just too strong and would likely get me banned shit-hot-quick!

ZXEightyMum · 05/06/2011 20:51

You can avoid them pretty easily unless somebody is DOING a GAbby.

Has he been offensive TFO? I'm a bit unsure now because you're a poster I always tend to agree with and make sure to read if I see your name on a thread.

OP posts:
Honeybee79 · 05/06/2011 20:52

YANBU.

Lot of love for Gabby

TheFlyingOnion · 05/06/2011 20:53

Grin at you ZXEighty, beaming in fact as I've had a shit night on here tonight.

he's not offensive per se, just mind bendingly, soul crushingly agenda pushing.

ScousyFogarty · 05/06/2011 20:53

Done lots of broadcasting?? Oh yeah - that'd be standing on a box broadcasting to the fresh air would it?

ScousyFogarty · 05/06/2011 21:07
