Tain Bo

I doubt if many read the shit man. It was pure derangement. Maybe he has choked on his own arse biscuits.

Robert,

Appreciated. If he had anything interesting to say we would carry it. Apparently he has a history of using blogs to hang his nonsense on. Won’t be doing it here. All manner of views will be considered but not all clowns will feature.

Alfie,

Totally deranged. When he started abusing obituaries he got the boot.

Anthony

Thanks for pointing out the difference between Mickey and the shit man. My attempted sarcasm was not meant to put Mickey in the weird category.
My apology to Michael as I would not have said it if I had known how weird Brian is, as I never read his links.

Alfie

I looked up “arse biscuit” on the urban dictionary as, “I mean, what the fuck is an arse biscuit???” made me laugh.
The aptly named “shit man” qualifies in one of the definitions “talking shite.”

Anthony’s description is accurate “a weirdo with a fecal fetish.”
Anyway mucker enough of that, thanks for the laugh.

Anthony & Tain Bo,

I've read only one of the articles that Brian "The Shit Man" Clarke posted here; indeed it was deranged. But his headlines were often very funny. The one about the "arse biscuits" made me laugh out loud. I mean, what the fuck is an arse biscuit???

PS. Michael Henry told me to tell everyone on the Quill that he has been in America this past week if anyone was wondering why he hasn't been posting.

2011-05-11T23:46:58.601+01:00

Anthony,

I have always admired your ability to facilitate a wide sprectrum of opinion on TPQ. And I if anyone could testify you that. I don't think this is a question of censorship but a judgement on prudence and commen sense if we are not to descend into farce. I think Brian's posts cross the line in this respect and particularly so when they impinge on obituaries.

2011-05-11T20:25:38.946+01:00

Tain Bo,

I doubt if anybody reads the shit man's links. They are demented. I think the blogosphere seriously undermined censorship. Anybody with a computer linked to the net can have their own blog and have their stuff carried. A writer can't really be censored in the blog world.

2011-05-11T19:48:25.513+01:00

Anthony

I like seeing Mickey flying his flag here and admit at times his posts provide some comic relief.

As for the “shit man” I would pass his posts by for the obvious reasons.( I assume many readers avoided his links?)
He may well cry “censorship” and protest being booted out his argument carries about as much weight as a balloon.

“We let the shit man’s links go up until he began plastering them on obituaries.”

Justified discretion on the part of TPQ and without a doubt censorship does not apply.

2011-05-10T20:55:58.950+01:00

Alfie

‘That Clarke had discussions with colleagues and informers about planting a bomb in Dublin is appalling, but not really surprising.’

A state laying claim to democratic principles is always compelled to be above such considerations as Clarke’s otherwise it confers legitimacy on those it claims are subversives. If the state will not refrain from murdering its own citizens why would anyone else?

SF hypocrisy on the matter hardly negates that.

Tain Bo

‘we might have to get Anthony to change the name of the blog. “The Mickey Henry and Brain Clarke show.”

Michaelhenry has some bizarre takes but he is most certainly not a weirdo with a fecal fetish. We let the shit man’s links go up until he began plastering them on obituaries. So he is booted out. He is complaining about being censored!

Nuala,

you would be on the money with McMahon I guess.

I have no idea where Marty is. He might be on a break.

eirigi has generated a lot of interest from what I can gather. Was in Lenadoon at the weekend and there seemed to be groundswell of support for Chopper. Still election day does things to people and it is votes in the box that count. Hopefully he will make it.

“The Mickey Henry and Brain Clarke show.”

I hope things are well with you and your family.

Michael

Thanks mucker, considering I lost my bet and in good faith I am now an unconfirmed supporter of PSF.
I sent of my application through the “Royal Mail” complete with commemorative stamp of Billy & Kate.
Following in the footsteps of Oliver Cromwell, I think Gerry and Martin plan on sending the dissidents to hell or Connachta or perhaps that is just wishful thinking on their part?

I will give you credit Mickey unlike the Berlin wall your detractors on TPQ just can’t knock you down.

Best a luck and keep hammering away at the PSF challenged.

Didn't know he got thrown off though.

Do you mean the way that Adams and McGuinness were bought and sold (out)? Like Larry and AM I have no clue as to what you are on about.

Mackers,
Who was McMahon, Albert thinks John Joe Magee? I think George Poyntz? Suppose it does not really matter both equal in low life status, just curious.

Sounds a really interesting read. I am back reading Kevin Bean's 'The New Politics of Sinn Fein' love the book.

Michael

“In the world of the shadows- there
will always be big stories told-
told by those who wanted to serve
but were bought and sold”

Haiku poetry on the Quill I am impressed.

Would it be a fair assessment that the struggle was bought and sold for the GFA?
I particularly like the line “in the world of shadows” as there shall always remain that dark-side of the leadership who prefer lurking in said shadow.
