Ref: Space/whirlwind returning - I liken it to leaving an abusive or toxic relationship..if you have managed to do that don't ever be tempted to go back just because your new partner is abit quiet and boring..I don't care if I sound like a woke snowflake but online trolling is bullying and abusive and can never be tolerated.
This forum still has 1500 people a day viewing it and sometimes as much as 6000 if the stats are to be believed. I find it really odd that less than 0.5 % of those people post anything at all. I know NMA's new output is far less angry or controversial than in the 80's and 90's...but several thousand voyeurs with nothing to say is just weird!
As for "Space" returning again I wouldn't be surprised if he or she had been here all along using a new name...if not probably working for trump/Putin in some capacity!
