Depressed and penniless... at least I THINK he was penniless... It said in the paper he was a bit short. “Look Mr Rourke, the Hearse, the Hearse!”

I'm loving the censorship regime going on there. They leave up comments calling for the gassing of Jews for days before deleting them but seemingly innocuous comments are deleted almost instantly. Someone is NOT taking their meds. I first noticed this a month or so ago when I made a rare comment on a thread there. Ahead of my comment were 3 others, 1 an abusive diatribe against the subject of the post, the other 2 gentle chiding of Bomber for his take on the situation. I commented and then refreshed a minute or two later to see that my comment was up. The 2 comments criticising Bomber were gone but the abusive one was still there. WTF? I said to myself and since then whenever I have a moment to spare I've kept a bit of an eye out to try and gauge a rhyme or reason. Its seems any criticism of Bomber or his point of view is mercilessly deleted with no reason while comments that most blog owners would deem offensive are kept until such time as someone complains. Very strange. This Bomber chap tries to come across as a left leaning champion of the people but it seems he is actually a megalomaniacal dictator. I bet his Mummy spanked him as a boy. Mr Roarke would not approve. Speaking of Tumeke……..

Philu,

This explains quite a lot. But I’m not sure you really did “escape the worst excesses” … some of those chemical adventures seem to have travelled with you.
