Chaps - there's a justified bit of a laugh at the mad stuff and unsubstantiated "facts" he often posts, but some of the stuff on here is a bit nasty. Why? Is it necessary?
I would have agreed with you normally but I don't - the financial / accounting and medical "advice" that he gives (based on ZERO experience/knowledge, like 99.99% of his prolific posting, no exaggeration) is seriously misleading and could create all sorts of problems to the average member who may think that Yipper has a semblance of sanity because he has seen the bird feeding thing amongst a sea of mythomaniac stuffDog Star said:

I'd be a bit upset if I read some of the things on here written about me, and I'm no snowflake/shrinking violet type.
You're also not suffering from a strange online delusional personality disorder.I'd be a bit upset if I read some of the things on here written about me, and I'm no snowflake/shrinking violet type.
To be honest Yipper isn't that bad. Most of his posts are on topic and perfectly sensible. just occasionally he pokes some of the wildlife on here with a stick as he knows he will get a reaction. Far from the worst culprit, some on here are clearly just trying to be d

He's nowhere near as bad as TooMany2cvs
Correct, nowhere near, I think he’s fascinating. Seriously, with me it’s weird because I enjoy seeing how certain people with certain personalities act. Someone like Yipper reminds me of a few people I knew in school who were compulsive liars, they just couldn’t help it. Some would tell me lies that I know are lies but carry on. So imagine what would happen if you give a compulsive liar a platform on the internet.......*drum roll* ............. Yipper!Nobody else just thinks he's an intentional creation by someone at PH?
He is a character, and forums need characters (as one element) to drive traffic & interest..not offensive/condescending or flagrantly un-PC, which normally constitutes a forum 'character'. By the nature he's exemplary in not getting anywhere close to any of those characteristics, my spidy senses are twitching :-)

Whilst I see your point, I honestly think he's just got serious issues. I think that's why he never ever responds when people call him out on his bullst (we're talking about someone who has apparently worked with Steve Jobs, dines with multi millionaires and feels qualified to offer an opinion on whether a Ferrari F50 is better than a Ferrari F40 FFS).
He's like a butterfly, flitting from subject to subject, an expert on every single one and with an anecdote to impress the hoi polloi.
Responding would mean having to acknowledge how he's actually perceived, it would prick his fantasy bubble of imagined popularity and adulation.
