In Support Of Tony R...

I can't help feeling sorry for poor old Tony; there appear to be a couple of threads on the go at the moment, which are casting aspertions on his good character, and standing within this forum.

It has been implied that his posts are sometimes direct to the point of rudeness and often sarcastic, using a base level of humour at the expense of other members.

I would just like to point out that I for one have not noticed this, and wish to encourage Tony R's use of this forum.  If any member feels that Tony sometimes portrays an abrupt manner in his posts, then I would implore you to first withold judgement until you have visited Bolton, in the Metropolitan County of Greater Manchester, and witness the urban deprivation at first hand. 

Only then will you understand how we are so often a product of our environment, and would agree with me that Progarchives offers him some momentary release from the daily struggle.

Consequently, I'd like you all to add messages of support and encouragement to Tony on this thread, in his hour of need.

WE'RE HERE FOR YOU TONY!

I can only echo the wise words of Mr Fandango. When you bear in mind that other notorious Mancunians include both Bez and Shaun Ryder, Tony R is a surprisingly well balanced and sane human being. For a Manc.

So let's hear it for Tony R!

Always be my hero.

If it wasn't for the likes of tony, we would only have his dislikes, or something, i don't know anymore

 

 

Carry On Wayward Son!

 

 

and fandango.......

I know I saw it!

who? 

Go Tony Go!!!

Although i always did prefer reed lover

Tony R for international prime minister of prog!

Whilst I wholeheartedly support the basis of this thread, I would council caution; the combination of multiple personality disorder (Reed Lover - Tony R), the frequently hysterical bile-fuelled outbursts and the effect of location on such a fragile ego (as pointed out by our Scouse - or is that secret woollyback? - correspondent) all lead to one thing:

That most dangerous creature on God's great earth:

The Paranoid Schitzophrenic Mancunian

Again - I council caution; such an entity should not be approached, and sightings should be reported immediately to The Council Of Superior Southerners, especially if he were to attempt to leave the frozen northern wastes in search of food.



Sorry - what was the question again?

this site is only enlivened by the presence of rudeness, base humour and sarcasm. Otherwise we'd have to talk about prog all the time .... yaaaaaawn
