      True, but Quentin is different to your average troll. I doubt winger would ever even dream of hacking into the Facebook account of a ferner or make blogs where he posted disgusting lies about people that were more successful then him like Quentin has done .<br><br>
      A word of warning if you type his name into google images he is the first result. You'll need a strong stomuch .

        <p>He's now started the same thread on another NH forum that I frequent and despite a few broad hints from myself has managed to keep others going for 4 whole pages now.   </p>
        <p> </p>
        <p>All the exact same arguments, blindly ignoring other facts as presented, or else twisting them to arrive at his same conclusion.</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p>Ireland is still too small, only two cities, only one rugby stadium, couldn't handle the numbers, etc.</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p>RWC 2011 was a step backwards compared to all the others, the tournament has now got too big for small/tiny countries to handle, etc, etc.</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p>There's loads of people in South Africa that will fill out the vast array of stadia that they have - it doesn't need international visitors as much as there's more than enough people in SA to fill the stadia, etc, etc.</p>
        <p> </p>
        <p>Zzzzzzz.......</p>

          I'm sure there's more. The second link banned him after 12 posts.</p>

                  Somewhere in Turkey Quentin read that and thought to himself " he said I'm special , no one has ever called me special before" and he's got your profile up and mouthing your name as he strokes the part of the screen where your avatar is .

                      <p>To do this repeatedly is just a lonely scream for attention.</p>
                      <p> </p>
                      <p>It's a shame we and other forums are providing that comfort of attention for him.</p>

                        Probably thinks you're Bart, he started this forum but doesn't post here much anymore.

                              Particularly if he's changed his name to Rowanbi , I suspect one of his meltdowns is not far away.

                                <p>we should have left him on here until it had happened. It's been fucking boring on here this summer, the only bright spots have been the laughing at winger and this idiot. jegga has been MVP over the summer for his sterling work in driving them both along. </p>

                                  <p>The predictable turn of the sevens thread leads to another reason not to give the Cup to South Africa. Is it really worth the extra cost to the IRB in security to get the ref to the airport and out of the country after the host nation are again bundled out of the tournament "because of the ref"?</p>

                                      <p>Yes, the 1995 final was a titanic struggle between two evenly-matched teams, that's why. Same happened in Australia in the 2003 final, and also in 2011. When the teams are that good - and that close - the conditions are basically irrelevant. But in the vast majority of the games, they undoubtedly play a part.
