    There should be a whole new site devoted it. Ideally, it’d have one person as a member.

      There's a case to argue that 90% of all threads could be merged there at this point

        I have taken the liberty to call this one The Bangalore Doctrine.

        It can be applied to resolve nearly every dispute. For example, let's apply The Bangalore Doctrine to resolve a current dispute:

        Some expert has decided that Rowbottom is a better fit in the current side than Warner, hence, no one has the right to question the decision.

        Ludwig, you have misrepresented my words that you quote.

        Anyone whose interested in the actual context of my words can go to page 13 of this thread and look at my post from 7.19am.

        Ludwig, it’s really quite reprehensible that you misrepresented my words to make a joke at me and delight the legion of people who have it in for TB and I.

        Go ahead everyone, have a good laugh at me.

          Beautiful work as always Ludwig.

          And BS - take it as part and parcel of being on RWO that ridiculous posts are likely to get the royal treatement from Ludwig at some point. Has happened to plenty over the journey, and should be met with a resounding and a good . If you can't/won't, then perhaps RWO is not the right place for you. Its about the least reprehensible thing you will ever see on here.

          And PS: nobody has it in for anyone - no matter how frustrating, nauseauting or downright ridiculous the posting habits of some may be to some others, the pushback has zero to do with the person(s) involved, and all to do with the opinions stated. It is, after all, a forum for debate.

            You really are a little too self absorbed. No one not even the legions of which you speak have it in for you.
            You and TB have chosen to continually revert to the same subject with the same tired baseless assertions. Together you have hijacked numerous threads pushing the same empty rhetoric and unsurprisingly many have become frustrated with you both as a result.

              Wear it as a badge of honour. Ludwig’s unique humour has poked fun at the best, without malice and with lighthearted intent.

                No one has it in for you.

                You have a quirky style. But that’s ok. I have variously over the years referenced my love of illicit drugs, my fascination with Ryan O’Keefe getting jiggy with Princess Mary, my conviction that Paul Bevan’s finest was under appreciated, all sorts of nonsensical things.

                Your friend however is a truly strange cat and one day we will learn the full story of what James did to upset him.

                    Oh yes, one of his finest. Bevo was a competitive, magnificent beast at his best.

                    I have no idea of Mary’s capacity to tackle two on one however.

                        Que? Probably before my time on RWO I'm guessing, but seriously just what is that all about

                          Oh well, let me tell you.

                          Before she met Prince Whatshisname, Mary had a little fling with a very young ROK. All publicly chronicled, this was. I mean, other Swans have won flags, AAs, Brownlows, you name it. But only the ROK has the Norm Smith and Royal Family lovey dovey double.

                            According to the Herald Sun it looks likely our first final will be in Tassie - might work out well depending on who we play. I'd think it would be in Launceston but who knows.

                            Port in the box seat now I reckon. I'm predicting they will play either Melbourne or Brisbane in the GF at Adelaide Oval. No way they will play in Perth if Port are in it.

                              Hahaha I've never been one for that sort of gossip, hence why I'd never read anything about it

                                We play very well at the Hobart ground - but haven't played in Launceston for a long time now (perhaps since that magical game in 2012? when goodesy and co went wild after half time and we kicked what 11 goals to 2). One of my favourite matches from, well, a sensational year!
