Teddy, for what it's worth I didn't particularly think the sketch was funny. I am a chancer and have no real clue, or if I am honest the desire to know, how to deconstruct a joke to see why it is or isn't funny. I go by my natural chuckle muscle.
You are naturally very prolific. The only other poster on here I can think of for banging out sketches so quickly is Sootyj. Some of his are good and some of his are bad, and I have told him so. I have also told you in the past that I sometimes think your scattergun approach, with so many sketches sometimes brings down the quality. I am envious of the talet you both share as I have to be in a particular frame of mind to write. Pressure at work has prevented me submitting anything to Newsjack for two whole series for example.
I have previously praised your sketches and told you when I didn't like them. I am not much use as a sounding board as previously stated, I am a chancer.
Steve and Sootyj are not chancers. They know what they are doing. You have been unfair to both them and Ben. In particular your accusations about Steve are disappointing. I have never met him, or anyone else from the BCG as it happens, but I have always found him to be one of the most honest, helpful posters on here.
You can't seriously throw up David Smith as a legitimate example of 'the clique' hounding an innocent member. He was a character dreamed up by someone who has a bit of talet for his/their own amusement, both annoying and somewhat amusing for the rest of us at times.
As my kids used to say to me, 'take a chill pill dad'.
