It’s that boyish smile gets you in trouble mate . . . . . .

Looks like you two are up for some Bromance.

Sceptical Guy can join in too, he seems to lurve thin.

Aw Shucks! And there was me thinking thin was a red blooded male. :P

We all bleed red.

I think its despicable the way Thick Slice gets hounded on these boards, can’t you see he is an insecure bloke just wanting to be lurved ?????

I don’t want to be an admirer of thin for all sorts of reasons which I don’t need to go into. But I’m struck by the way he can hold his own against any number of detractors – probably because he has to. Whether it reflects his strengths or his opponents’ weaknesses, he’s still the same.

Surely those who oppose him could think of more effective tactics – unless they secretly prefer the idea of battle to that of victory . . . . . .

Thin has detractors because he brings it all upon himself with his pathetic threads and posts, attempts to wind up and tease and his blatant lies.

For me personally, I just love to mock this afflicted guy because he asks for it. Do I lose sleep over his posts? No.

And as for victory? What do you see as victory? Finally hounding thin from JC and the boards like he has done others? I doubt that will ever happen – JC is thin’s life. Even when banned he used another name to come in here.

I know he brings it on himself – he even claims to bring it on himself with his repeated use of the term ‘wind-up’. Mock the ‘afflicted’ if you like but don’t then complain if he, in turn, replies to you, as some do.

As for victory, ask the people who keep fighting what they see as victory, this isn’t my fight. I’m posting what I observe and my opinions on it. I am not thin’s defender and he seems to have fewer defenders than attackers so I would think few people take his side.

However, I see him posting his barbed posts, and then up to half a dozen people jumping in often with far more extreme insults than he has dished out. He never backs down, they never stop, it goes on and on and on.

And yes, some might say “you don’t have to read it” but this has been happening on threads with general interest topics, not just the ‘banter’ (cough!) threads

I spend too much time in JC to criticise people for regarding it as their life. I do find the personalized aggression from and against thin tiresome. I don’t believe it will ever stop, but I don’t think it should go unchallenged.

Words – I don’t complain when thin replies in the way he does to me. I have enough confidence in my own abilities to be able to better any of the rubbish he throws at me.

As for seeing it as a fight? Hardly. This is a chat site not a theatre of war. Nobody is going to die. If you want to liken it to a battle then all it is, is a war of words, opinions and insults.

You say he never backs down? Hmm. I disagree. He’s not clever or witty enough to answer every post and his silence to some speaks louder than words.

You’ve put him on a pedestal and I really don’t understand why. Perhaps it is true bromance… :P

You don’t complain? Then you’re not one of the ‘some’ to whom I referred. There are others, far more vehement towards thin than you who have decided not to comment here. I find that refreshing.

Your fascination with the relationship between thin and me and its implications regarding either our masculinity or sexuality is noted.

I don’t count thin as anything more than an acquaintance having only a superficial involvement with him. However I have some very close friends who share my gender and about whom I care deeply. They are very rewarding, so the term ‘bromance’ holds no fear for me and I sincerely hope that you are able to enjoy similar friendships without fear or discomfort.
