I just remember some very selective screenshots from a forum years ago I know nothing about  accusing him of behaving badly. If he hadn't disappeared l'd have thought it was on par with accusing Shandon par of going to Napier rather than St Andrews, but there we are.. 

So, 100% true, then?

The screenshots were from twitter.

It's nice that people post on here when a poster has gone missing. I'm sure weeks or months have gone by when I've not posted and no one has mentioned me, so you're all a bunch b*****ds basically.

I'd have asked after you if you'd gone to Kebab Mahal but you're just an ingrate who doesn't act on food recommendations!

Oh Rugster, one day I will. One day my friend. I've been slowly making my way through SJC's boat thread as I'd never read it, has made me desire a trip east, next time will be in February for the rugby... Who knows what may happen.

I'd become quite pally with NTP over 2020/21 and met him once irl for some pints in December 21 when he was up. I missed all of the initial "drama" and it was deleted by the time I next went on that thread so only saw it in, I think, the HG thread a few days later. I was a bit weirded out tbh, it was the first time I'd really made a pal from the internet and made me realise you don't really know anyone that well that you primarily interact with online. Contributed to me not posting on here nearly as much (great news for everyone else) 

Think it's very strange for folk with no knowledge of the situation whatsoever to have jumped in two footed about things being made up because they liked the poster. Like none of us know for sure but leaving the forum so quickly (and I've never heard from him separately since) is a bit suspicious. FWIW, I don't know that I ever knew his surname but his first name was definitely the same as the person about whom the accusations were being made

I don't know if you're referring to me but I never claimed that the allegations were false, just that I wasn't going to take years old screenshots of anonymous accusations from what looked like one or more ex-girlfriends as gospel. The fact that he left the forum pretty well immediately could be taken to confirm the allegations, or it could just mean he didn't want his private life dredged up in public. Given that he never said anything to contradict the allegations before leaving would make you think the accusations were probably justified, at least in part.

I was talking generally, I can't remember who but there were a couple of people I think were very vociferous about it and I don't think you were one of them.

I guess we all present a version of ourselves in terms of posting but that's true of how people behave in person as well.  I have known people who presented themselves one way and actually behaved in a completely different manner in different situations.  

I don't blame you for being weirded out though, not that you have anything to feel bad or guilty about.
