All of those that you mention in your bottom list are one off events with cumulative figures though... If you add together crowd levels of 1,000 for each PL & CL match and 500 for NL, throw in a GP and a challenge, KOC and individuals etc. I come up with 500,000 placing us at No 1

I won't be replying to you on this topic anymore. Please leave me alone now

Bloody Premier Sports switching their scheduling around at the last moment again, I missed the live recording but managed to pick up the replay later. Premier Sports scheduling reminds me of the staircase at Hogwarts!

Yes he has... and others

No, No, No! I don't know why you're now trying to convince yourself of what you thought he meant, it's truly baffling... you'll be trying to tell me black is white next. I posted : "I take anybody dying from a lung disease seriously. I watched my dad die from IPF 2 years ago and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy" and he directly replied to that post with: "I must have missed you banging on about it in previous years. Got any quotes to share?" He didn't reply to the previous post, or any of the other previous posts he directly replied to the post about my father dying. He's now come up with the narrative that he may have been referring to previous posts, the fact is he didn't, he posted a direct reply about how my father died with the comments I didn't see you banging on about it. Now if you've settled this in your own minds and are happy to back him to the hilt on what you now think he was referring to that's your choice, perhaps you think we're in a Two Ronnies skit where we're answering the previous question asked? If indeed he was referring to a previous post, the decent thing to do would be to apologise for the offence caused by his error, and rectify his mistake by removing the post and actually replying to the message he wants you to think he meant to reply to... then we can all move on and address the issue of why he's called me (and others in the past) a cretin, stupid and an idiot and also while we're at it ask why he was obsessively baiting chris4gillian so much the other day.

I know... I'm going to visit him next Tuesday

And you're point is?

I'm preparing myself for a stint in the cooler

Gets away with hounding and baiting people on this forum... And guess what, people commit suicide due to bullying Not as many as Covid or the flu/pneumonia... So it's probably not worth bothering about, hey?

See you next Tuesday

I know, I know you're right... the trouble is he gets away with it then doesn't he. I'd hate for someone to be found hanged with their computer screen showing a final post from him. It's a shame that this forum doesn't seem to be moderated these days The way he was hounding chris4gillian yesterday was despicable

I don't think I've demanded answers of anyone... I merely asked a question, that he chose to ignore as he has every right to I'm not assuming, I'm asking, so I can adjust my communication with them Why would you not adjust the way you speak to somebody because of a condition they have, would you whisper to a deaf person, maybe cover your lips with your hand? Correct me if I'm wrong but the thread is under the "Speedway News and Discussions" thread not "General Discussions" I'll ignore your 12 year old schoolgirl question, you've quite clearly suspended your sense of humour at the moment Not interested in the constant number swapping as I've said before, my issue is with BWitcher and his treatment of me and others I've not attacked and never would someone for being Autistic, at the risk of repeating myself I merely asked so I could adjust the way I communicate

Please educate me... I have looked for it in the past but not found it

See you next Tuesday

This is not what he said at all, what he said was: "I must have missed you banging on about it in previous years. Got any quotes to share?" as a direct reply to my post of: "I take anybody dying from a lung disease seriously. I watched my dad die from IPF 2 years ago and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy". It's there for all of us to read, take a look. What he at no point has said is "prior to your father's situation, you never gave a second thought to lung disease", so I'm not sure where you got that from? And how you'd know what he thought I was thinking prior to my Father's death is also a mystery. I'll agree with the rest of your thoughts though I'm going to break off from my standard reply to you to try and re-engage with you: At no point did I mock the flu, just because I used the word blummin as a pre-fix was to try and keep it light as I could see you were getting out of control. Thanks for acknowledging the death of my Father as a sad event, I almost said the same thing to my mum as we were both holding his hand as he was gasping for his last breath. It's the first hint of empathy you've shown. I decided you were referring to my Fathers death for this reason: Your direct reply to my post of "I take anybody dying from a lung disease seriously. I watched my dad die from IPF 2 years ago and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy" was ""I must have missed you banging on about it in previous years. Got any quotes to share?""

No, no, no. What he said in a direct reply to me saying i take people dying of lung disease very seriously as I watched my dad die from one was: "I must have missed you banging on about it in previous years.Got any quotes to share?" That, as he has a habit of pointing out, is a fact and is evidence. Banging on about my dad dying... Let's just let that hang there for a bit... Banging on about my dad dying. A direct reply...

Total lack of empathy... another symptom

And I think he should lay off the Covid stuff and stop being an obsessive bully. Saying "having an interest in numbers and figures doesn't automatically make someone Rain Man" could be interpreted as being pretty offensive in itself and shows a complete lack of understanding of Autism. You've watched Rain Man that's your benchmark? I only ask if he is Autistic as then I could possibly understand his behaviour and adapt my interaction with him. If he isn't then he's just a rude, obsessive, cantankerous man who just won't accept anybody else's opinion or point of view.

You could almost predict who was going to "Like" this post... disagree away, keep it polite, civil and don't be obsessive and bait people I'd say we're a long long way from being "normal"... I don't know if you've noticed but we can't even go to the Speedway! I totally agree with your point about attacking people by calling them mentally ill, I'm not quite sure who has done this though? I have said I suspect he is and I've suggested he see a doctor as I'm concerned for him if he has. I have asked him if he has Autism, which he displays all the signs of, he's not answered that question, which of course he is quite within his rights to do. If you think his behaviour is "normal" and his baiting of forum posters is acceptable that's a sad reflection on you.

The forum has just told me I'm out of reactions for today... This can only mean I've become a bit obsessive

The worrying thing is though that there are vulnerable people around, no doubt some on here and when a character like him latches on to them things could take a turn for the worse, especially as a lot of people are currently mentally fragile during the current pandemic... See what I've done there? I've managed to bring it back on topic ... But of course, we all know... There is no pandemic

I suggest you check out some of his posts on other threads about Speedway, when he used to post on them. His behaviour was the same as it has been on this one, obsessive to the point of bullying. He may not have set out to be a bully but he singles people out, like he seems to have done with you and baits them. Now you and I may be big and ugly enough to handle this, water off a ducks back... but not everybody is. Bully: "a person who habitually seeks to harm or intimidate those whom they perceive as vulnerable"
