it's a bit like the SpankyHanky Defence League

That's the one that baffles me most.
Here's a bloke who is clearly a virgin, posting his poorly written letters to Razzle and they all go 'oh yeah man, this gave me a stiffy'.

and then become rabid if anyone comments negatively
my favourite are the ones who, after seeing a negative comment and retorting, immediately start scouring /OT and probably /talk to see if anyone is "gloating to their cliquey bumchums"

My favourite is the 'yeah well it's well-written that's why I like it' in response to some piece of sweaty-handed amateur porn.

I went camping over the last bank holiday
and a friend of a friend decided to regale the entire gathering with one of Spanky's stories as they had found it particularly amusing. The overblown metaphor and simile was awful, and the whole thing was frankly embarrassing when read aloud.

I wrote one of those once
It wasn't well written at all, but still made first page, which surprised me a lot.

Give the people what the people wants :)

Ah yes, I remember that one.
A classic of the genre.

I loved the discussion afterwards
About if I was a girl or a boy. I still don't understand how that changes anything.

I have to admit
That I'll never understand you lot.

This man speaks the truth here.

I suppose they have a point, insofar as
it's easy to see the archive and its self-appointed librarian as some guy from /talk sniping at /qotw posters, and there's a few posts in there that I personally don't think really deserved to be.

But on the other hand, there are an awful lot of posts in there which are just ripe for ridicule (e.g, this would be a very different place without the Honda Accord meme). Provided the archive doesn't come across as too high and mighty, it gives us a nice snapshot of posts which give us a giggle but won't make the 'best of' page and would therefore otherwise be lost in the ether.

"Meh," I say to them. If they're going to take it that personally then it's about time they moved on from Maddie jokes.

Is it right to call it a "league" when it's (probably) just one person's multiple accounts?
