I'd agree tbf, but a fair number of posters were convinced they were the same person. Most of HB's work was before my time but looking at old posts, I wouldn't necessarily say they were the same. Detournement posted some good stuff, but also some awful stuff. From the sublime to the ridiculous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A smear campaign nearly as bad as the Corbyn anti semitism smear. I would love to see the reactions from these people to being described as centrists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem with him was you could never tell if he was taking the pish or believed some of the shite he came out with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also backed taking citizenship off people in their 40s if they hadn't been fully transparent when arriving in the UK as children. Priti Patel could do no wrong. Maybe he was on japester duty that day. Edited October 24, 2023 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of his best bits was claiming anyone who objected to Orange walks was middle class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the sublime to the ridiculous. Yeah I'm pretty sure in MixuFruit's audit thread there were a lot of requests for to do Detournement vs. HB and the results for a match were highly unlikely. Definitely a poster of high and low points. His posts on the Salman Rushdie thread that went along the lines of "that's why I'm off for a pint and he's off for a blood transfusion" had me howling. Also had the VT quality of making people so mad some were refusing to believe he'd read Rushdie's work or the stuff he was comparing it to. I dunno about the Great Replacement Theory stuff, I cba going back through threads but I always thought that was pretty bad faith. I wouldn't exactly be surprised though, his class reductionism and Pynchon-esque (another author he could not stop talking about) paranoia about elites did lead him to hold essentially the same views on COVID and the WEF as QAnon guys, as well as some other spicy takes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 HB vs Supras made the Misc Other Fiba Chat section an unreadable bin fire for a good few years. Both had an unnerving obsession with eachother 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
