Poor
Cujo Chopper went rabid, snapping and lashing out at all around, then lost heart and supposedly crawled off to die.
But.... no one ever found a body.
Rumour has it, he made a miraculous recovery and is now lurking in the PS hedges, waiting patiently for the right moment to return.
Others whisper that he's gone botox, assumed a new identity, and now walks among us unknown.
(If so, he must have taken spelling lessons to aid his disguise.
)
Jumkie? Anyone? What's the word?
Around the time Roger disappeared a mystery moderator called Woodcote appeared with all settings on private. Perhaps an illusory correlation.
Personal remarks about people's families are beyond the pale no doubt, here or anywhere. I think the eventual remark which led to roger's departure whilst not edifying was not quite as personal as roger took it to be, as the perpetrator was a new poster who possibly was not aware that roger had posted pictures of his family in the past.
We had our differences but I miss his participation, he was a genuine and passionate fan and quite often exhibited a sense of humour.
I like Rogers posts and I'm sure I would have liked him or ended up in a fight had we met (followed by friendship), big ugly opinionated ........ That's
my job description.
If Roger is reading this from the sidelines he has to be having a laugh, a thread about Stoner's last podium has well and truly been hijacked with the topic of "Where's Roger", the ultimate Stoner hater.
I often think threads shouldn't have titles, they should all be called "another thread about Rossi and Stoner and other stuff, have a fight". Every single one of them. Having found out whom of "the Powerslide 4" made the comments I wasn't surprised No social skills, undiagnosed Aspergers syndrome, he can't help it.
Roger should get over it, I'm fat and my parents are beautiful - at least he isn't one of those pageant parents that preen and polish their children into little serial killers. All that matters is kids are happy and if they are give yourself a parent tick.
It is a little silly to be upset by Internet experts and bullies, when the Internet is actually full of weirdo's and frustrated underachievers trumpeting their idealised glory rather than actual. Roger put his kids on here, He is an actual not idealised person.
I have this theory, based on Carl Rogers esteem gap, the chasm between the ideal self and the real self is called the esteem gap. On the Internet many people project and talk from the position of their ideal self, it would be like me calling myself slim and attractive. We get so caught up with it however that we expect the distortion in return, that is why we don't post photos of our real lives on here, it doesn't often meet the hype.
Roger may be a fat cantankerous ....... who hates Australia (mostly because they didn't see fit to export his ancestors here so he could be truly happy) but you don't see an idealised Roger, he is moody and sometimes foul, but its a real person. Ideologues don't recognise this and lay some .... down, because surely you could come up with a better ideal self than that? what is the point of imagination and anonymity but for blatant self promotion and unpunished sin?
A "select group" of us however know each other personally and the ........ can't wash, that is why this unlike many other Internet forums there is a core element of truthfulness here. I know I myself have been busting it to catch up with Nuts and the Gold Coast crew (you didn't do the river swim Nuts).
Roger has crossed mighty oceans to walk around in his underwear on camera. It is also why the "I'll do something to your family" comment whilst acceptable elsewhere is a strict no-no here. If there was a God and he could snap one of her 37 black fingers it would do so and we would all end up in a Medieval Village together, A village council would be held regarding the grievance and the guilty would be put in stocks and whipped.
Roger the town butcher, the grizzled old ....... he is would rightfully be paid 2 cows and a number of chicken and goats as compensation.
Apologies in this digital world would suffice, Roger could do some star-jumps and get the sand out of his big mangina, his kids are fine.
