Fortunately he was a bot, because it got a bigger forum kicking than vader ever did. And like poor old vades, was eventually destined to the forum rubbish bin. Yes what happened to Newbot?

It was late, often ended up duplicating threads. I think it just got switched off at MF end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive quite serious side effects neurologically, from the arsenic trioxide chemo, in my hands and feet, severe, continuous pins and needles or numbness. Having to use a wheel chair to get any distance. But I’m alive, got a second chance at life. i know that sounds soppy. But 30 years ago APL type Leukaemia was fatal. Diagnosis life expectancy was 6 weeks. Now, if you survive the first 6 weeks ( which 95% do ) the chances of it returning are nearly zero. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen your edits. Indeed it’s not the death sentence that it often was which is comfort / inspiration to us all as I’m sure it has been for you. Your news brought back your announcement to me and just as a reminder how sad and pathetic some posters have been in the past and continue to be so it’s worth re-posting. Woolley summed it all up nicely in the end and turns out he was right! Edited January 8, 2019 by thesultanofsheight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are becoming borderline fruitloop. Give it a rest. You know you’ll feel better for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilligaf Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I don't think TSOS sees how stupidly creepy his posting is of late. Poacher turned gamekeeper does not come close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesultanofsheight Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 If by “creepy” some posters have an issue with me wishing a man who is in remission from leukemia and who has made a good recovery my best wishes and good luck then it certainly says more about them then it does about me.

That thread is just about an all time low for MF and it stuck in my mind. Some of posters are still at it as well. The fact that Neil instantly sent me a very angry PM calling me an arse licker (amongst other things) shows that at least he’s probably embarrassed about what he posted at the time now I’ve referred to it again. Its not normal behaviour to be honest and I don’t have an issue with what I said. Edited January 8, 2019 by thesultanofsheight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS what is creepy about that you unbelievable tosser? Just the fact that you posted ,as in the first sentence, to hopefully excuse you from any punishment for posts like your second sentence . They are far too common and it seems to me that you get away with vile abuse, while posters like myself ( and ND) get several bans. Also good to see that you can't even stand by what you said about not responding to me, for more than a day. Cool. Edit to add, that we all wish JW a full recovery and I have already told him that. You are not alone in that. Edited January 8, 2019 by dilligaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neurological side-effects not so great to hear, but still better than the alternatives which don't bear being mentioned. Though it isn't reciprocated, I have always enjoyed or appreciated your contributions both on here and on Facebook and wish you the very best of health. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
