That is pretty cool. I don't know about it being encyclopedic. I bet Lar will defend it.

Hey, I'll bet you a thoiusand quid he doesn't. If you had the reading comprehension of a ruddy 12 year old you'd know he's quit Wikipedia and hasn't made an edit there in about eighteen months.

And Raul left with more of a huff. Raul is back. Your point is? I'm sure Raul was using a secondary name as is Lar now.

Hey, Lar's honest and a gentleman. He'd no more use a secondary name than you'd admit to being wrong. So will you take the bet?

For someone who "joined in December 2011" after Lar mostly vanished from this place, you sure do have a lot of positive things to say about someone who no one ever had anything positive to say about.

And you claim you aren't a sock. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif)

So, for anyone who doubts that Ottava is a total fuckwit, he's kindly provided proof. Do you honestly think that people have only interacted with Lar on this site? I've dealt with him for bloody years on Wikipedia and elsewhere.

Really? On what screen name? Because all of the independent people with long track records of not being your socks have all pretty much agreed that you are on a short list of sock masters. None of them have had interactions with Lar. It is yet another one of your making crap up to troll statements.

You haven't interacted with Lar. Either you provide your name that you interacted with him or you are talking out of your ass. You were required to provide info, not I. You failed because you are trolling.

Now, now, Ottava, this is over the top, even for you, which is saying something. You have alleged that Retrospect has been accused here of being a sock, which is of course not true. Now you are asking him to reveal his WP user name, which is totally against custom and practice on this site.

Why are you allowed to make the most outrageous false claims and to refuse to provide evidence when your claims are challenged, and yet Retrospect is required to provide info which is totally against custom and practice on this site?

Really? How do you know what is "against custom and practice on this site"? See, this is exactly why you are his sock. And The Joy has already made it clear that people have always suspected Retrospect to be a sock. I believe he is Vigilant, others believe he is Poetlister. Your rabid defense of him verifies that you are his sock as I stated before.

No one else but the socks have ever called me a troll. You don't read things carefully. It has already been pointed out how many errors your post contain, and those errors are beneficial only to one individual. You show classic socking. No wonder I have PMs saying that you are Poetlister.

Get your fucking eyesight checked. He said Vigilant was a sock, which of course he is.

Anyway, even if you couldn't understand that, The Joy is referring to someone from London. Are you now saying I'm from England? Then you'd have to admit you were a total bloody fool when you said I wasn't!

I accuse you of being a sock and The Joy says the other site agreed.

Funny how you accuse me of not reading yet you always lie about even the more easy to check things.

The Joy says you are Poetlister. I say you are Vigilant. Poetlister has IPs from across the UK. Vigilant has access to IPs from across the UK. Poetlister has normal British hours. You have fake British hours while my edit habits in the past 2 weeks have been done to show what regular British hours would look like (just to mock you). I know far more about the UK than you ever will. I am far more British than your fakeness.

Hence why my claim about who you is your puppet master has more evidence than The Joy et al's belief. Regardless, you are a puppet of a nasty individual.

You're not even remotely important enough to impersonate, son.

Keep squirming a little more though, this is just what Joe/VoC used to do when he went on his "that wasn't my sock!" bender, and that was HIGHLY entertaining.

Apparently, it is an impersonator of an individual said to be from England using an English IP. This Retrospect could have a point, because he is clearly not a resident of England, or anywhere in the UK.

By that, you mean that you couldn't even get a simple name right because you are most likely from some third world country that may or may not have once been a British port before they went onto a legitimate colony and your knowledge of English (as a language, piss poor, and as a culture, even worse) is insufficient for any conversation.

You claimed "I know far more about the UK than you ever will", even though you know shit about the UK. So in reply, I deliberately chose the name of a famous British composer knowing that you're so bloody ignorant about all matters British that you'd never have heard of him and just muddled him up with someone you had heard of who had a similar name.

What's doubly embarrassing for you is that this year was the centenary of Coleridge-Taylor's death so there has been a ruddy mountain of stuff about him.

The only thing embarrassing here is your pathetic attempt to pretend that you weren't comprehensively outed as a total shithead.

That is the strangest admittance of you not being able to differentiate between the person I am an expert on and someone else, yet every Brit would have been able to.

Let me guess, you are from Nigeria? Because you are just as honest as this Nigerian prince fellow that contacted me a while back.



QUOTE

No one buys that because they all know that I am a Romanticist. You have even referred to my dissertation, which everyone knows heavily discusses Coleridge. You screwed up in your attempt to make a reference to me. It wouldn't have been a coincidence that you were referring to me as an expert and then happening to almost mention one of a few people that I am well known to be an expert in. But you botched it.

That is the strangest admittance of you not being able to differentiate between the person I am an expert on and someone else, yet every Brit would have been able to.

Let's get this straight. You claim to know far more about the UK than I ever will. Not just one person, but the UK. Yet you claim never to have heard of one of Britain's most celebrated composers. Surely even a shithead realises the contradiction. So, why haven't you heard of him?

someone you had heard of who had a similar name.

See, I'm not denying you've heard of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, am I? That's explicitly why I chose him. I knew you know absolutely nothing at all about the United Kingdom beyond a handful of pre-Victorian poets so when I mentioned a famous British person, who created "Kubla Khan", who had a similar name, you'd show your total bloody ignorance of all matters British by assuming I'd made a mistake.

He isn't one of Britain's most celebrated composers, but you were trying to claim someone I was an expert in and got it wrong because you don't know the difference between the two.

That is the problem. You didn't realize your mistake until the link was put up. Then you went nuts trying to come up with some way to try and hide it. You failed. Pretty bad.

Total bollocks. As Eppur si muove points out, he's so highly regarded he's known as the African Mahler. You've proved beyond doubt that you know shit about Britain.

You were comprehensively fooled and you're too bloody embarrassed to admit it. No amount of prevarication on your part can hide that.

And the fact remains, you pretended that "I know far more about the UK than you ever will", yet you've proved that you know shit about British composers. Will you now withdraw your stupid claim?

Having a nickname doesn't make him special. Furthermore, "African Mahler"? Really? You might as well say "dark person who we will never truly consider English because we referred to the Irish by the n word for such a long time that a real African has no place here."

So, you are racist, without background in history, definitely not British AND you confused Coleridge with someone else.

I think you have accomplished your check list of troll characteristics. You can stop now.

Hilarious. You attribute an expertise to me that was the wrong person. I corrected you because you were too ignorant to know better. Then you spew feces all over the place. You are a complete joke.

ISTR that a little while ago Ottava was accusing Retrospect of being a troll. Now that Retrospect is boasting about a succesful piece of trolling, Ottava has forgotten that. At least he didn't take up the point about Kubla Khan. As well as the famous STC poem, there is a musical work by SC-T with that name. Meanwhile, I'm listening to a second piece of STC on the radio and can confirm that he doesn't sound very much like Mahler to me.

Later: Now I'm getting confused. I was listening to something by SC-T on youtube... If it were, STC, I wouldn't expect it to soudn like Mahler.

So, you are racist

And acording to you I'm a Nigerian so if I'm a racist I'm proud that there's a notable black composer, right?

And can you please answer the bloody question: if as you allege you know far more about the UK than I do, how come you haven't heard of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor?

Yep, you're right, and the sooner Selina notices and makes you a steward so you can shit-hole Ottava, the sooner the place will improve.

You've bloody spoilt it now; I was going to trip him up on that next.

I don't think Lumbye sounds like Strauss, but they call him the Danish Strauss.
