Anybody know what happened to the star of the show?

As noted on the Christmas thread, he has changed his name last week to 'bluehillside Retd.'

Also haven't seen Peasemold Gruntfuttock (think that's right) for a while.

He was suspended for a month on 15.09.2017, but doesn't appear to have returned.

You must mean Cheapjack

Forget Betty, Oak King, Ebenzer/Cuppa Joe, SEF, Emily, Toby Jugg, Bernard fifties joke, Major another fifties joke, Amber Knight, and the rest of them....
WHERE IS CHEAPJACK?

He returned, changed his name to A l'Eau, c'est l'Heure, and is currently again suspended.

Is Bernard Fifties Joke, Bernard Quatermass? I think his duties of trawling obscure news sites for the choicest religious maniacs in an attempt to say 'this is mainstream christianity'',were distributed amongst the Non believing and pagan posterage.

Yes indeed, the other fifties joke was the poster who named himself after a character in the Goons Neither of them were particularly pleasant individuals, the only time that they were amusing was when they turned on each other.

One huge error in your post above - you use the phrase "I think" which is something of which you appear to be totally incapable.

Stand easy Private…
Thanks for asking after me. I guess I just got to the point where the endless repetition of nonsense, the dishonesty, the smug complacency etc I read so often in response to cogent argument got too dull to bother with. That’s not to say that there was nothing of interest - torridon and Stranger as examples consistently posted well thought out and intellectually nourishing answers - but it is to say that I’ve given up looking here for arguments for religious belief that have anything like the same degree of content or clarity. Or indeed with anything at all that isn’t logically hopeless.
And that’s a pity I think. Cock-eyed optimist that I am I cling to the notion that there could be robust arguments for god(s), albeit that no-one here seems able or willing to make them. When theists use this mb as a drunk uses a lamppost though – for support rather than illumination – then I’ve concluded that there’s nothing to talk about.
Who knows mind – maybe one day someone will post a sure fire argument for his god that looks irrefutable and I’ll return to the fray.
Until that day, my best wishes to all here.

Well put, Blue!
My own feelings set out far more cogently than I could ever do myself.
Maybe a sugestion to the 'Powers that be that "Religion" in the title of the Forum be replaced with something that is debatable without an overcast of nonsense by those unable to determine the difference between faith and fact
Hope to see you back soon, until then please travel well and arrive safely.

Shouldn't that be................. Well put, Sir?

Blue has retired from the forum apart from those occasions when he posts on the forum.

FWIW this forum has moved on from having the same arguments that we had on the BBC Religion & Ethics boards.
We have evolved (deliberate pun intended)

I wish it could be said that it had moved on from the same old fallacious non-arguments and assertions.

It's not sexism, just a sign of the intertwined folie à deux with Vlad.

As HWB notes the board is a bit different from what it started as but I suspect that a name change would dilute whatever brand we have.

But then Shaker let's just take a look at New Atheist agreementfests passim. The Richard Dawkins forum for example.

There hasn't been one for years. Hadn't you heard?

TBH I think that it has. It's not as if we are still arguing about abortion, "sky fairies" and whether JC/Josh existed or not.

And yet we still hear the same old same old logical fallacies, with a couple of members in particular being responsible for the vast majority of them.

Nah! IMHO several atheists posters found their backsides could make a sound like Phallchllacy and just got carried away with enthusiasm.

... like the five pages of results you get when you search for posts containing 'Dawkins' written by you, for example.

Hey, hypocrite, YOU are the one who wanterd to know where Bluehillside had gone and he posted in response to YOUR enquiry!

The suggestion was made with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek!

The Vlad version of Goddodging - responsibilty for fallacy dodging.

Any post that in which I use the phrase 'dilute the brand' isn't likely to be serious.

I didn't realise he & Peasemold Grunt were one & the same!
Can't imagine what he could've done to be suspended - twice - but I nearly always miss such goings on.

Farewell bluehillside.

I just think it's funny that Hillside hasn't posted during this phase of Brexit...........I think he's been negotiating free movement of Leprechauns.

Give it a rest now Private, he's gone, peace reigns.

This is the politest "Vlad, Will you please shut the fuck up!" I have seen in years.

Yeah but Rhi must have been off her trolley.

Hell NO! She returned riding on a Musrang GT sledge pulled by 12 Siberian tigers in full bloodlust mnode!
