He was/is a prick; simple as that. Ooh, I smoke weed, I'm so coooooool and anit-establishment. Dick head.
Skibbington von Skubber had the most annoying avatar I've ever seen. I'm glad I don't have to look at it anymore.
Was he banned for the cancer stuff?
Should I go back and make my last post ruder?
He was banned for being an unamusing troll.
Only amusing trolls will be tolerated.
Prezunctly.
So keep your head up, Tommy.

Is that a comment about not being amusing or being a troll? I'm not a troll, Aaron.
Well, a bit of both. Yeah. Nevermind.

One definition of cancer is; An evil influence that spreads dangerously.
Skib is cancerous. Good decision Aaron.
New trailer for the documentary:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Er8VrI0SDY8&feature=channel_page
Hey Chopz, this trailer is well constructed and by virtue of it's content, makes the viewer want to know more about pancreatic cancer.
If anything, perhaps the underlying music could represent a stronger theme of impending doom but that's your choice.
Did I recognize Dr Ian Gibson MP in the trailer? If not, the guy's a dead ringer. Gibson is as sound as a pound and lends his weight to many a worthy cause.
I would consider it a job well done.
That was Ian Gibson MP, very good guy and very helpful.
Thanks for watching

All I will say is that I have treated many cancer patients and the vast majority make funnier and more enlightened quips about cancer than Skib. Cancer patients are not immune to laughter, often it's one of the outlets to the grim realities.
Having a sense of humour is only as important as having a sense of compassion. On an unrelated (though similar in some ways) theme, a friend of mine committed suicide a couple of weeks ago (for a comedy connection, she was a niece of Peter Cook, whatever...) I was busy in the middle of getting a script ready for some producers. However, none of these (very witty) people made jokes, having nothing but sympathy for her death and my grief.
Let's show some basic human decency when the occasions arise on the site. I'm not taking the pious high-ground, but I think the majority of members on this site know when to make a off-colour joke and when not to.
I'm sorry about your friend.
I think it's important as far as this site is concerned is to realise that when it comes to trolling is that the other person is looking for ANY reaction and honestly, the best thing to do is to ignore them and just report them. It's hard to do when it affects you personally but it's important to remember that all trolling, ALL of it comes from cowards. After all, they are nice and safe on a computer bullying faceless and fistless people because they are so unhappy with their own lives and it's the only way to feel just a little bit powerful so don't give them that power.

I wonder how old he was.....

At my local MacMillan unit you will sometimes find people being sick, talking quietly, not wanting to talk at all and crying. Most of the time, you will find them joking, having a good laugh, bringing in cakes they have made to share with the others whom they have got to know (cue joke about hospital food) and sometimes even singing. They are some of the happiest and postive people I know. The most important thing that happens is that patients and staff respect each other's feelings and allow them to joke/cry without judgement, but only with support and even love.
