Worst of the worst —Eric Sophie

I invite you all to know the pettiness and cruelty that is Timothy Gould: (URL) (18 years ago, 12-Aug-06, to lugnet.people.support) !

Re: Worst of the worst —Leigh Holcombe

(...) Tim, you have a Lugnet account. If you were truly not being petty and sly, you would have posted the picture here. Free free to talk all the trash you want, but be a man about it - don't cross-forum link your pastiche behind his back. (18 years ago, 14-Aug-06, to lugnet.people.support)

Re: Worst of the worst —Timothy Gould
