It's just a complicated game. (I'm fucked if I know the rules)

Indeed. No batteries required.

Both Andy and I decided to call it a day - Colin Moulding Reminds me of my very first post on an XTC forum. As I remember it didn't go down very well

That was a looooong time ago. I vaguely remember a rebuttal from an insulted (and possibly condescending?) Partridge and some pushback from a few forummers... That place was a regular schoolyard.

I popped up on an XTC Idea forum after being able to afford a comp. Prior to that my only intro to online was taking my young kids to the library . I bumped up saying the XTC thing was becoming a bit run out of steam. So I posted., Is it time to call it a day? Got destroyed by XTC fans. I had been a fan from underage drinking and followed them all around the NW of England watching live shows. Got a bit pissed off by fans mostly who only got into them through Dead God. They are my band, fuck off. I got into them from White Music. Stupid I know. But met some nice people too. X

Ha ha! Okay, yeah -- I remember the thread name, now. I thought it was a question you had submitted on the Ask Andy and Colin Q&A board that had riled folk. I don't believe I chimed in there, as I spent my only year on Idea mostly speaking in images.
So I guess the AP telling offs were on Ape? (My wilderness years...)

The telling off stuff was everywhere. But forummers were jealous of our interactions. In the end me and AP got on ok. Then they all fucked off to FaceAche. You couldn't make it up

It ended, FB was more attractive than a AP interactive forum. Fans?

Well, to be fair, I'd hardly want to interact with Partridge, these days, m'self. I think his mum was onto something when she had doctors prescribe him valium.

He dedicated half a page to me calling me a vomit like Sprite. Andy has a a terrible nasty temper which I recognise in myself. Unlike me he seems to lack the ability to recognise this and say sorry. I noticed this trait in some forummers. I've had the most horrible PMs some even threatening violence. But not one apology. It's just a forum guys. We all mess up. Perhaps me more than most.
