Still waiting for you to come out of the troll closet, Nix.

Sounds awfully like you're at least suggesting he's a troll
|
Although I’m not seriously proposing that Nixmap is trolling, just humour me for a moment.
How would you plan and execute the perfect troll?
Build an identity that sounds plausible.
Plant seeds on internet sites around the world so that if someone tries to validate the thread later, there’ll be plenty of references on Google.
Watch the responses see which threads bite (Snowheads and TGR) and feed them. First, lots of information, answer all the questions with an affable, easy style. Don’t upset anyone, don’t panic. Then, when criticism comes, sound affronted, genuine.
Then disappear for a bit, and reappear a year later with a new thread on the same idea. Throw in some new element to cause a bit of controversy. As the man said, all publicity is good publicity. People will remember the earlier thread, they’ll feel they know you, and familiarity breeds gullibility.
Be patient. Never reveal anything that might implicate. Never blow your cover.
This is real deep cover.
After another year has passed, throw in another thread, with a different emphasis. Bait the hook, cast the line, wait, and reel them in.
Masterful.
I’ll almost be disappointed if Nix turns out to be genuine.

Hmmm....
'Affable easy style.' Is that where you flame a whole forum full of snowboarders by suggesting that their sport is a waste of time and that they perform unnatural acts with thier fellows ?
It was pretty impressive and nobody had the wit to go "This is a wind up, right ?".
For what it's worth, I think it's a pretty cool offer, but my life is in such a 2 and 8 that I'd probably have to walk there, so I'll probably be delivering pizzas that weekend.

nixmap,
Welcome back, Nix. After you failed to make your usual late night appearance last night, I was wondering if you'd gone to ground after my contribution, never to be seen again. In fact, I was on the verge of alerting our colonial cousins on TGR of your exposure as King Troll. Now that would have been fun.

Chamcham, according to Nix , he is already best mates with TGR, and has claimed elsewhere that he got a much better response from them then the aggresive snowheads.
I am happy to keep going with him for a bit. After all a man who does not need his chalet over New Year as he is going elsewhere must be mover and shaker!!! I hope my positive energy is well recieved, especially after the row over what you can twitter and what you cannot. If he is a troll , my replies will be tourettes central !!!

Um see the original post, Actually Ive had a few serious private replies, who wish to remain anonymous and dont want to get involved in the thread.
As per usual we are there are two channels to the conversation,
Firstly the real people of snowheads who are genuininely interested in exchanging and sharing their sporting advendutures. (Thank you for your kind messages)
Secondly , just the people who make a lot of noise on the thread, proving how witty and smart they are, trying only to ellicit the idignant responses of a) the indignant OP (you win again) and b) others who would just be happy with a reasonable discussion from interested parties who try to defend the OP
To suggest that I am in some way baiting this forum or some form of master troll, IMHO simply beggars belief, when the fact it is exactly the other way around.
Evidently this baiting is allowed to continue and I find that sad, but censorship (demonstrably) is not my responsibility.

Dude, that is harsh!
I admit that I did once have a 'taster' of the devil's tea tray, but I was young and experimenting. I simply Googled you and found this outrageous knock down flame fest where a whole bunch of gnarly dudes with baggy trousers got uptight when you posted an obvious gag. It was like a thirty year old man punching a baby in the head (copyright Bill Hicks).
What you forgot is a simple fact that is illustrated in the following anecdote that I shamelessly plagiarise from TGR without any attribution or credit:
Guy walks into a bar in snowy Colorado.
Guy: Hey I've got a great joke about Snowboarders.
Grungy, Dreadlocked dude: Hey man I'm a snowboarder!
Guy: That's okay, I'll tell it real sloooowly.
Anyway, good luck with the drunken orgy\quiet social gathering at your mountain lair. Lightningdan is going to feel a bit of a charlie when you sit there in your black and chrome swivel chair stroking a white, persian cat and say "Ah, Mr. Lightingdan, I have been expecting you" and then your enormous martial arts trained non-staff henchmen grab him and chuck him in the shark tank.

At what point do you stop being a prick? Are you so paranoid that only your 'super secret friends' are the intimates that you're going to share any details with? I wish you a loooong life to share with all the demons of your own making. I'd wish this thread closed and deleted as you're simply far too f'd in the head to do anything as simple as hosting a ski weekend. But it will continue, as will your BPD. 
edit:
Nixmap, on re-reading this post I can see I'm being offensive on a personal level . . . so should I redact? Well, I've re-read the entire thread and have come down to the same conclusion, You are incapable of doing anything that doesn't require some form of obsequiousness from the other party . . . yup you're a prick and becoming a sensitive one at that. The motivation for your behaviour can only be speculative but if you just want to be altruistic you need to change your approach.

Whatever your personal mission here is, I dont get it.
Honestly I just don't have the energy for it.
I thought it might be fun to host a get together, with some like minded enthusiasts and, even satisfy some curiosity. But I can see this is isnt going to work.
Congrats Masque, and others.. Hope you are satisfied.

nixmap, my first thread on SH was crazy - it was about poo-poo service from First Choice; they completely stuffed me up yet so many SH beat me up about it. The thing about SH is that there are a few very vocal few who just like to be contrary. Do not give in to them - carry on posting - if they dont like it then stuff em

nixmap, hey sweetheart you spat your dummy long before I dived in, I thought it might be fun too and even considered it as I plan on being in Europe at the new year . . . and then you went all Mission Impossible. It's not rocket science to say where when and how much, it's simples . . . but once again you want people to jump through your hoops. It ain't gonna happen and the more frequently you do that, the less chance you have of gaining some respect. You are not Andrew Carnegie, just someone with a snow hut, too cheap to employ staff and incapable of just organising a ski weekend

TGR Responses to Nix, they do not seem to love him. He is doing well on the diplomacy as well.
"You are British, right? The nation of f#cktards coasting? Hoards of drunken louts? Can't figure out your head from your assholes?
Come one, come all! Be the next poor smuck to fellate Nix, your better! Live on his excellent coattails! "
"Every year Nix posts these threads and every year he gets 3-4 pages of poo-poo and an employee (eventually.) I predict a repeat. This job isn't for broke-ass f#cktards, which eliminates 80% of this forum, but there is a lurker out there PM-ing him somewhere. "2008
No takers then.
