Re: I win
Charlie I suggest you do as he advises and put him on ignore. You have to understand that Brummie is obsessed, obsessed with Morrissey and he will literally go on and on and on, the man can't help himself. He might claim to dislike Morrissey, denigrate his every move, slag him off etc, but the one thing he can't do is let him go. Everything Moz says, every move he makes, every concert he plays there will be Brummie to consume and dissect it. What a devotee!
Think about this, the guy actually can write and is quite witty, I'm sure he has a novel in him, but what does he do instead? He devotes the time and energy of that novel into writing posts about Morrissey. Over 2800 of them now, most at least around 50 words long. That is around 140,000 words all about the Moz! In other words a novel. But instead of a novel he gives it to one man. What does that tell you?
He likes to dress it up as something nobler, but it is a straight out fixation. You don't devote the number of hours on a fan forum that he has, particularly when you fairly vocal about your diastase for the artist on whom the forum is based because you are not fixated with said artist. The dude can't help himself, he will keep coming back to Morrissey again and again and again. It's all he knows. Yeah he keeps threatening to go away and in fact has disappeared the odd time, but like acrack addict trying to lay off the pipe he can't help himself. He needs to be talking about Morrissey. And often.
As I said in another thread Morrissey lives rent free in Brummie's head. I currently count his posts at 2889 (although soon to ramp up as he feeds his addiction) so I count that as Morrissey-2889, Brummie-0. Brummie will never win because:
A) Morrissey doesn't give a shit about what goes on in Brummie's life, yet Brummie devotes countless hours and tens of thousands of words to discussing Morrissey.
And
B) Not one of Brummie's rants or tireless efforts is really gonna 'enlighten' many of Morrissey's other fans. They will make up their own minds.
So why does he come here then?
As I've said he's obsessed and he can't help himself, so you're gonna have to learn to love with him, put him on ignore and if anything feel sympathy for him. God knows it must be horrible to devote that amount of time to someone you so actively dislike.
Charlie, I suggest you do as he advises and put BrummieBoy on ignore. You have to understand that bhops is obsessed, obsessed with BrummieBoy and he will literally go on and on and on, the man can't help himself. He might claim to dislike BrummieBoy, denigrate his every move, slag him off etc, but the one thing he can't do is let him go. Everything BrummieBoy says, every move he makes, every comment he makes there will be bhops to consume and dissect it. What a devotee!
Think about this, this BrummieBoy guy actually can write and is quite witty, He has numerous novels in him, but what does he do as well ? He devotes a tenth ofthe time and energy of a serious novel into writing posts about Morrissey. Over 2800 of them now, most at least around 50 words long. That is around 140,000 words, but not all about the Moz! In other words a post-modern pastiche of online forums, which he wouldn't even bother to publish as he only does it as a restful interlude between bouts of serious writing. What does that tell you?
He doesn't need to dress it up as something nobler, but it is a straight out metamodern ironic debunking of fame and fan-dom . You don't devote the number of hours on a fan forum that he has, particularly when you fairly vocal about your diastase for the hypocrisies of the artist on whom the forum is based because you are fixated with said artist. The dude can't help himself, he will keep coming back to mock and debunk Morrissey again and again and again. It's all he knows other than crosswords and Sudoku and writing aforementioned serious novels. Yeah he keeps threatening to go away and in fact has pretended to have disappeared the odd time, but like a crack addict trying to lay off the pipe he can't help himself LOLing at Morrissey . He needs to be writing about Morrissey whilst watching Pointless or 24 hour rolling news. And often, because Morrissey is the gift that keeps on giving. What's not to like?
As he said in another thread Morrissey doesn't live rent free in Brummie's head, there's an 'off' switch, as there is for numerous other casualties of the fame construct. I currently count his posts at 2889 (although soon to ramp up as he feeds his amusement) so I count that as Morrissey-0 Brummie-2889. Morrissey will never win because:
A) BrummieBoy doesn't give a shit about what goes on in Morrissey's life, and Brummie only devotes countless hours and tens of thousands of words to discussing Morrissey as and when it amuses him to do so.
And
B) Not one of Brummie's rants or tireless efforts is really gonna 'enlighten' many of Morrissey's other deluded cult fans. They will make up their own minds only if and when they see they are hostages of a cult.
So why does he come here then?
As I've said he's obsessed and he can't help himself as he has so much fun, so you're gonna have to learn to love with him, put him on ignore and if anything feel sympathy for him and pretend you are not scared of his fearsome intellect. God knows it must be horrible to devote that amount of time to someone you so actively dislike, so why do you do it bhops?

And when compared to the countless hours that Brummie has spent here indulging in his Morrissey addiction/obsession/fixation, what is half an hour? Nothing!
But think of all those hours when you're trying to stop thinking about BrummieBoy but can't escape your addiction/obsession/fixation with him. You really should just put him on Ignore......
