Yay sayers now have two votes to count or one third of the six votes counted, or 50% less than the Nayers

I'm sure that Mr Lewis knows that six out of four people cannot do fractions

Let me get this straight...You will delete your 796 posts in the course of 30 minutes, or less?

I've got 500 Canadian dollars that says you can't, or won't, do it.

Put your money where your mouth is, for once in your life.

Mike.

The vile Lewis is back on form. Jolly good. On the one forum that hasn't banned him. Self proclaiming himself as one of the World's Greatest Magicians yet he is not world famous or known outside of the forums he spends too much time on.

The fools that defended him in the past have now come to realise what a nasty, bitter little man he really is.

Mr Kras seems like an angel in comparison...

Nay sayer?
Nemesis!
The sad & lonely demise of Mark Lewis is one piece of news that will brighten my day.
I suppose the constant gibberish on forums with virtual 'pals' makes a fair substitute for the wife he failed to find...

yippee kai.... yay

You can't beat a good old fashioned warped sense of humoUr. Yours being misundertood cannot really be your fault.

I've learnt the occasional useful tidbit from your posts, as would some others should they decide to look past the seemingly unfathomable humoUr. Hopefully we haven't seen the last.

not a fan of sigs, so I won't bother adding o..... oh
:oops:

Mark, I will post this once to correct you. You stated you would delete your posts that contain information. I have said in the past and I will say it again, you can sometimes give good advice. This means that on those posts where you give that information, I am a yay, not a nay. It is the other posts which constantly break TM rules with your insults and abuse that I am a nay.
One more correction. My son is 11 years old. He attends the workshops at the Magic Circle as part of The Young Magicians Club. I don't know if you consider these worksops the same as you do a magic camp or not. He has not suffered,as although he is a member of the Magic Bunny forum, he is not a member here, so he hasn't had to suffer your abuse on here because of his age. You see Mark, apart from your normal vile posts, you decided to say that magicians under 14 should be killed. I am a dad who loves and is proud of my son. Anybody who attacks him in any way, including verbally, however indirectly, will find that they have bitten off more than they can chew. People call it your warped sense of humour. Fine, just go and find a forum that is called "Talk Warped Sense Of Humour."
I mentioned Civil Action. I do not recall saying anything about suing you. That is only 1 course of action, but not the course I was thinking of.
Why don't you put up a poll on whether your posts which DON'T offer any useful information, or self advertising, up. You seem to be grasping at straws and running scared by only asking about posts with information in them.

I never saw the post where Lewis allegedly advocated "killing children under 14", but if this is the case, I would love to know what the views that the parents of the kids he entertains are about these kind of comments.

Not a "misunderstood sense of humour" but a bitter, warped and twisted
individual.

Sorry Darrel old chap You cannot have more than one bite at the apple. Just because you post and post and post and post does not give you more than one vote. You must follow rules you know. Fair is fair. After all you are constantly yapping about rules yourself and I therefore expect you to follow mine. Now I did explain that you cannot say you want my information and then say you don't want me. Regrettably you cannot have one without the other. I did explain that up front as one of my rules. Therefore I am putting you in the nay camp whether you like it or not.

You have just admitted that your urchin is a member of the Magic Bunny forum. That supposed "magic" forum seems mostly to consist of football hooligans and children that do not do their homework. They do not appear to be the sort of person who would fit in well with the social circles in which I frequent. Just by confessing the child belongs to that horrible group of juvenile delinquents does not raise his status in my eyes.

I am going to add Mr Jay to the naysayers making 5. This gentleman has a habit of making threatening phone calls to me in the middle of the night so I will assume he is in the no camp.

Since he does not have a British education I had better explain to him in simple language that I will only be deleting the educational posts that I have made. I expect that can be done in about half an hour or perhaps an hour. I can certainly get rid of a good deal of them at any rate. I do hope that he understands my meaning. If he doesn't then no doubt some of the more intelligent British members here will explain it to him. I do certainly admit that at times it may seem that there is a paucity of such people here but I do believe they exist.

Furthermore I did not say your offspring should be killed. I didn't even know you had an offspring. I wouldn't have thought that you were capable of such an achievement.

No. I merely said that all young magicians should be euthanised. A subtle difference which makes all the difference. If I had said "Darrels child should be killed" that would in my opinion be offensive and an incitement to murder. However by saying merely that euthanasia should be brought in for young magicians under the age of 14 is merely a plea for a better climate in magic. No individual child was threatened. I simply want to get rid of the bloody lot of them. I will however make an exception if any of them are exceedingly talented which of course none of them are.

Now I must count the score so far. It appears that the yaysayers are winning but I haven't checked properly. I have always suspected that the naysayers are a noisy minority who wish to disrupt my classes. We will find out for sure tomorrow night.

Now let me count it all up.

Do pay attention Lord Freddie. I was only referring to brats that do magic not the vast populace of children. These I do not advocate euthanasia for. I simply growl at them and look grumpy.

I have to admit that I got sick of reading this thread at page 8, but it seems to me that Micheal offered, perhaps unadvisedly, some notes he'd written for comment. This turned rapidly into a thread bashing the lad, and when Mark Lewis tried to defend him it turned on him.

From what I have read there are a vast number of people in this thread arrogantly and rudely treating other members who have, at least in this case, nothing but good intentions. Then those same members have the audacity to complain about the behaviour of those they attack. Quite frankly I am shocked at the way some members I considered to be mature, sensible and friendly are acting, and so I am locking the thread.

I would suggest that everyone who has posted here have a look back at what they have written; I don't think there were more than a couple of posters in the first 8 pages who don't need to appologise to at least one other member.

Please stop doing this.
