Oh, whatever. I genuinely can't get to Crapman Central site using the genuine URL, having tried it multiple times with 2 browsers, one of which I hardly ever use. IME that *usually*, but admittedly not always, means there's a problem with the site concerned. I can't be bothered to investigate it any further (by rebooting etc); if it's down, then great, and if it's not, then hopefully it's only a matter of time since he's quite possibly breaking his ADSL accounts Terms & Conditions by running it.

Oh, and due to the URC regulars' well-known propensity for pretending that things are black when they are actually white just because they want them to be black, I wouldn't be at all surprised if many of them had tried to get to the SIte of Hate, failed, and just not said anything about it due to it being an "inconvenient truth".

In this case, I no longer care for the time being: the truth will eventually come out one way or the other, and if I've made a mistake and been wrong about this, I'll be man enough to admit it (unlike pretty much *any* of the URC regulars, who would rather amputate both legs than admit to having made a mistake). OTOH, if the site really has been forcibly taken down, it's a pat on the back for Demon (and I've also offered to give them further information on Chapman's various abuses of his ADSL account over the years should they require it...methinks he's going to regret complaining to my ISP multiple times about utter trivialities which weren't against any rule known to man).

No doubt Nobby will be along in a minute to claim that I'm making all this up. Good old Nobster, always ready to inject some hilarity into proceedings. Nobby, can *you* get onto Chapman Central? If you can, why do you think there isn't a page there about the Lou Knee debacle?
