Browsing through the threads on Catallaxy this morning I note that apparently I upset the Gang Of Four with my latest posts here. It started with Knuckles on Thursday. Knuckles was outrageously outraged about me having a sale of fainting couches and flouncing clogs here at the Furniture Shop. Next day, Friday, he was joined by Nick who was similarly upset. He wrote accusing me of producing, and I quote . . . "the most Machiavellian and audacious blog wrecking scheme yet". Later gang leader LL joined in, sharing their concern over my latest nefarious activities here.
Only trouble is, of course, I wasn't here, and made posted no comments on Thursday or Friday. In fact, I haven't been here all week or made any posts in that time. I have been down in BrisVegas having my final tests and assessments at The Prince Charles Hospital, in preparation for surgery in a week's time.
It had been my intention remain active while down there and I took my 'puter so I could read and post, but as it turned out my hostess at the BNB I had booked into was a most charming Lady, delightful company, and an excellent cook. Not only that, we had a shared interest in politics, theology, philosophy, and good wine - cab sav, Shiraz, and Drambuie or Galway Pipe for afters, so I never actually got around to turning the laptop on, let alone reading a blog.
So what can I say other than I'm sorry guys, that you missed me so much you had to fantasise about my presence. Next time I'll try and give you advance warning of my pending absence so you can arrange counseling or something. Meantime, would it help if I posted a photo of myself here so you can print it out and put it under your pillow at night and not feel so abandoned?

I don't know what it is about you, but you definitely put the fear of god into Frank.
You're a bloody bully and a tyrant.
I could just imagine you laughing as you run down little old ladies in your mobility scooter with the Harley badges on them.
But seriously, what did you do to instill that level of hysterics?
I don't tune into everything at the cat.

.
Stuffed if I know, Struth. But it's obviously highly contagious. LL was back at it before I even posted here this morning, then tried to veer the meaning of his "flouncing" comments away from me, onto Herodotus when he realised his mistake. Unfortunately Knuckles and Nick failed to get the message in time, and within an hour most of the Cats online at the time had been here for a read. Later even JC and Nota joined in.
Surely the Gang of Four and their sycophants have something better to comment about at "Australia's leading libertarian and centre-right blog", than fantasising about my offline activities? Sometimes I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.
Actually the people I feel most sorry for are all those Catallaxians who regularly read the comments here, but have been bullied and/or shamed out of replying here, or mentioning it back at the Cat by the Gang of Four. Still, it's the weekend, so there'll be footy and league on. So at least Cats will have something to talk about tonight other than my imaginary adventures here at the Furniture Shop.

Well done MV for driving the groovy gang nuts. Biggles is especially buggered in the head. Can't wait to see if they notice my post here, Dosie will be happy  |

Greetings Runnybum.
Welcome to the REAL Catallaxy Naughty Corner, where we exiles hang out. I have previously noted your efforts at the Cat, and I tips my hat to you, Sir. You appear to upset the Gang of Four almost as much as I do.
I especially note that, after BBS finally posted a link to here, and everybody started visiting, that the Gang of Four suddenly, and very uncharacteristically, fell silent and disappeared. And yet within one minute of you posting that you had been here, Nick was there to respond, followed a minute later by LL, and Nota two minutes after that.
It's hard to escape the conclusion that they were all waiting and monitoring, ready to go into damage control if anybody should mention having followed the link and visited here, as you did. Sadly, as always, it worked again, and the rest of the Cats remain too timid and bullied to admit they have been here, although from the visitor numbers today, it's clear most of them did.
Anyway, I hope you'll take the opportunity to have a good look around, and follow and read or view some of the info that has been posted here.
Above all, have fun. We don't have much time left to do that.

Thanks MV,
Another strange thing about biggles is he thinks you & I are the same person.
Such a strange person.
