Sorry, that's not quite right. I thought that post 3 was a forgery, though it turns out that it was actually mine, and only the reply to it, and the reply to the reply to that post, are genuine forgeries. Furthermore, the two replies to post 8 look the same, but one is a forgery and one isn't (the forged one was posted 2 minutes and 16 seconds after the real one). The one that is forged has a reply and then two further replies, which are not forged and both forged respectively; the one that is not forged has a reply which is not forged, followed by three replies, all of which are forged, then a further reply which really was from me pointing out that the message that it was in reply to was forged. There is then a reply to that claiming that it was forged, but that reply is in fact a forgery itself, as pointed out by the reply to that (although that reply too is a forgery). I thought about posting a further reply to that saying that it was forged, but I was concerned that it would invite further forged replies, so I'm saying that it was a forgery here instead.

The most important thing to remember is that the original post in this thread was not a forgery, and any subsequent posts claiming that it was a forgery are in actual fact forgeries themselves.

I feel that it is essential to post each time there's a forgery and point it out, since most people here are thicker than me, and therefore can't work out for themselves what is forged or not. It's a challenge living in a world where I'm so clever and everyone else is so stupid, but I manage, and I believe that I'm tactful enough not to piss people off by patronising them, belittling them or treating them like absolute fools. Still, if you feel that I'm being too arrogant, let me know, and I'm tell you why and how you're wrong. (You know, like the online petitions that the Labour Party which I love so dearly have introduced.)
