I missed all the juicy stuff too.
I know RS was nuts but I liked his nutsness. I feel like me, him and Zen Monkey make similarish posts at points, from a slightly different perspective on each, the external madnesses affected by fractals like some weird tree growing from the moss in Michael Barrymore's long-deserted backyard jacuzzi.
Like some weird triumvirate, three weird online 'brothers' because we all post wordy mad stuff.
RIP Replicashooter. I'd say it was the rabies that got him. Entertaining rabies.

Funny you say that. Reading through his recent blow-up, I was thinking RS is a poor man's JazzFunk.
He did create the brilliant 'Are You Happy?' thread and was friendly with me in PMs about PlayStation stuff so maybe he's an unwilling host to inner turmoil that pops out occasionally like a xenomorph at the dinner table.
And his tirades would probably be funny if he didn't belittle pretty much everyone on the forum for not being 'authentic'.
Here's a swipe at Zaki:
"if you were and had been your own boss all of your life then you too would be vastly different from the PG rated mask you currently believe to be you as your authenticity has been slowly chipped away in order to participate in the game until you only feel safe when engaging in the charade but deep inside there are the remains of the real you who knows that I’m right, however I may or may not say it. "
He'd accept a leg-up and then marvel at his wicked jumping skills.

Any fair or thought-provoking points were lost in a tirade of judgemental unpleasantness. Going on David Icke style rants about identity, truth and free thought, but presenting it in such an arrogant manner that it alienated people, isn’t productive. As a poster boy for his product, he was a terrible advert.
Scratch one narcissist.

ReplicaTrump!
I often imagine what these folks are like off forum, and if they act/speak the same way in real life. Might be amusing for spectators, but not the people they interact with on a daily basis.
Who knows, maybe this forum was an outlet for their alter egos, and banning them has unleashed the beast into the real world.
Here be dragons.

I'm not into the whole online persona thing myself.
There's some kind of safety behind a keyboard.
If some people were at the pub speaking to their mates in the same way they do online, they wouldn't be mates for long.
Where does "keeping it real" get you? Friendless IRL and banned from a laid-back forum.
The one upside to RS's "keeping it real" thread is that it elicited some sound responses from some of you level-headed guys.
I particularly liked:

You just have to not be a bellend.

I didn't mind RS too much myself. I mean he didn't sound like somebody I'd go out for a pint with, but he did engage me in arguments long after people like Dogg and Wools had given up. I guess the difference is that I just like to wind people up with my incessant pedantry, whereas he seemed to be genuinely getting a rage on about things.
It's all very well with that "live by your own rules" talk, but it's not like he didn't use money or eat food like the rest of society. I really don't think that he refused to say thanks to somebody who held a door open for him (because it was hiding behind a mask), instead of punching them in the face.Kept you waiting, huh?
