Why all the hate?
Seriously, I don't get it. He posts stories that are usually pretty openly fabrications, but are well-written and pretty funny. People respond well to a well-written story. Simple as that. So why does he irritate you so much?

Because he's a bore, it's a rinse and repeat of the same fucking story, which was shit in the first instance
and he's a wanker

I guess I just don't find him dull.
He generally makes me chuckle, even if it's a rehash of an old theme.

c) fairly dull

and that's because it's one of the country's biggest and is a great laugh. I never bother with the smaller local ones, but I do love the Maryland one, especially as it's in the fall when the weather is gorgeous.

Tedious, hackneyed drivel with a teeth-clenching inevitability to them that makes me want to kill myself.

I don't get it The Resident Loon either.
I mean, it's not like you have to read his posts, I've not read a single one by him, I just tried to read that new one 'cus of the attention it got on here, got up to a load of words begining with 'b' that was a euphanisum for his penis, and thought "Fuck that" and came straight back here to tell you that.

It may be a cultural thing.
I have gotten used to reading Britspeak and have gotten used to the strange euphemisms that appear on the QOTW for various things, so usually I glance over them and translate them to English in my head and keep going. It makes them easier to read, somehow. Not just his posts, but all of them.

It's a bit weird, though- the people who are popular and get a lot of votes on a recurring basis seem to draw a lot of ire. First Legless, then Pooflake, then SpankyHanky... I guess I just have a higher tolerance for wordy posts than most.
( The Resident Loon Not a demographic. Do not measure., Tue 22 Feb 2011, 17:30, Reply)

Well...
until I came to this site I had never encountered "todger", "mimsy", "spam purse" or any of the other dozens of odd phrases used for anatomical bits or various sex acts. Since I've been here I've learned a lot about rhyming slang and the other oddities that infest British English that the rest of the English speaking world don't seem to bother with. It takes a lot of effort to translate it, frankly. So Spanky's terminology is not much of a stretch for me to understand and translate.

I've always hated joining sevrel swear words or animals together to form a new swear, like "Aligator shitcunt" and "Wanking Rhyno Bumfarts".
I find it really unimaginative, like Might Boosh, lolrandom and lolwaki isn't my cup of tea.

I don't mind wordy as long as the words add something to the story, and I find meaningless similies that are written just for the sake of fille, dull.

Agreed.
"badger twunts" is not an effective swearword. Not like "fucking cunts" is.
