Not necessarily; they could be clueless programmers, but decent people.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It is such a great place to visit and be in.
I rarely go anywhere else here, except to download some code or example.
perhaps you could ask for code / examples right here in the lounge, then really not need to go anywhere else?

I have met DD in real life, so you don't have to.

Is he still ranting about Gypsies on farcebok and twatter? Or has he started on Brexit?

Gods know! I blocked him even before the referendum as I was sick of the lies he was regurgitating. Haven't heard anything for 3 years now.

In reality I would like to meet DD in real life. Just like you.
I am sure that his gusto and style would still entertain and enthral me.
Just saying that if i didn't know him at all and just met him, then my reaction may be different.
Seeing all his posts in the lounge, gave me a deeper understanding about what DD was about.
Meant that i was more open to him than I would normally be without this info.
I miss him.... and I miss hearing about things Luton.
I used DD as an example because he is effectively deceased as far as CP goes now.
It applies to others on here as well.
Not you though.
I have always thought that Big Willie was OK and likeable in real life as well as in the lounge.

Trust me on this one.
He is generally okay, but unless you're right of Attila don't bother.
Imagine Jacob Rees-Mogg in Boris Johnson's body, with Michael Gove's charm and Esther McVey's brains.

I do trust you Vilmos. Your advice is succinct.
That is one of the funniest replies that I have ever had ever.

I liked DD, and was sorry to see him leave.

I think that most of us feel the same way JSOP.
Such a shame that he has gone.
He has left a void here with his absence for sure.

Sorry to hear that. People say things on line they would never say out loud face to face.
I am amazed the ways people find to hurt each other.

You are correct in that it is social media.
I have never really thought of that.
I have always just regarded the lounge as a BBS, ahem, a Forum.

Some offer this but most don't.
I can understand why.
You could at least put up some cheesy avatar on your profile. I think you're being ironic and that's not appreciated in The Lounge!

Would rather look like Bob. Not into cheesy unless it smells great.
...and of all people I wouldn't have thought that you were a sworn member of the irony police.
However, yes I stand guilty. I admit it.
I can send a sworn statement and make amends, but, you are going to be really disappointed when you see my picture and i am sure that you will then request that an empty Bob be returned to my profile image.
