He makes these obessively hand-crafted wooden surfboards (and they really are beautiful when you see them up close) I would like to say I admire his (as he sees it) counter-culture existence, his home-schooling his 10 (or so) kids over in Pataruru and generally the way he lives him life.
But as much as I try I cannot get past the facts. He's a dogmatic little man who sees no other viewpoints other than his own, in his attempts to be clever he is, sadly, only condescending and full of hubris.
When he attempts to make a point (win an argument) he comes out with all sorts of things that are non-falsifable, impossible to prove they're true -and impossible to prove they're not. He relies on obfuscation to carry him through. Every post is a performance.
Once you understand this - he's ok.


Hey Brent, I am 13 and a half stone and 6 feet tall which makes me of average size, but I'm strong as an ox and smarter than you as well.

But thanks for the comments regarding my boards. . ..

BTW I am not counter culture, I AM culture. . . .

WOWSERS!!!!

That was a come back and a half! You really tried to defend yourself!! (in about 6posts!)

I am glad to know that some NZ surf dudes are gay, you figuered out who Brent is, you have a new tree being made, and your wax is still availible!

I'm a little confuse, tell me, what wrong did Roy ever do to you that you are so hostile towards him ? I mean you haven't been in this forum that long that you had direct contact and/or debate with Roy resulting in you having grudge against him. Well except from this particular subject, which you initiate and is somewhat an attack directed to Roy personally not vice versa.

Yes, I am aware that your request to become the moderator here had been granted and congratulation for that achievement. Does this means that now you can just be hostile to anyone as you wish?

I read his (Roy's) posts in this forum and yes he may come across as someone arrogant. But I think he just feel very strongly for what believes regardless of what other think of it. Besides from what I notice, he never really initiate the hostility. Often it's started by someone elses directed to him and his just responding to it.

You will probably see this as an attack towards you, but it's not. I know that majority of the people here strongly dislike Roy and if what I am doing now considered as defending him then so be it and you can all hate me too for it (the chances are if I get into a debate with Roy I could be pissed off too. but since my knowledge is way down below his, I doubt it'll ever happen). I'm just confuse as to why you are so hostile towards him. That is all

..... " NO ..he cannot


... Thats my job :twisted: lolol

And i am not hostile but i know who Roy is , Roy knows i know " who he is " .. and i know what lifestyle confusion leads to his idealls and his camoflaged responses to those idealls .. i know why he is sane , i know why he is mad , i know why he is non-threatening yet hostile .. i know Roy !! ...

And you know why i know Roy ?! ...because hes a slightly older , slightly more 'life confused' , slightly more stupidly intelligent version of , slightly more self-alienated.... ME :twisted:

... i actually like the guy ...how could i not !!

Peace and love Roy and of course the rest of ya .. especially Mr.B who i like to think now is Mr.Ying to Roys Mr.Yang and vice versa :twisted:

One thing I realise is that, this very one man can make all of you spend so much enegry in hating him when in fact he probably just sitting laughing at all this.

... i think Roy knows this is not hate ..as he is intelligent enough to recognize that' .. but he sure as hell knows why he gets the reactions he gets and why he creates the arena for it to take place ! ... it might not be ever understood if it was written but if you feel ' the right connections ..you can feel why it all happens ..its a great game aint it Roy :wink: lolol .. its Roys lifegame , his rules ...but occasionally he cheats and that is what B' and others cant get with ... :twisted:

p.s ..just incase it wasnt understood .. i.. " the cheeZe " .. genuinely like the guy :shock: ..he makes me smile :lol:

No, I shouldn't be hostile towards him, but why does he slag off this site, throw streotypical abuse and still post?

Also, just because I became mod doesn't mean a can be abusinve, and I am trying not to. I just find it a bit strange.
Sorry if I offended you.

No offence taken (if that was directed to me), I was merely wondering about your reasons.

Just one more thing though, Roy is not the only one who posts bad reference about this site.

Sorry to dissapoint you but the reference I was talking about is right in this forum.
Not nice reference
But you'd be the first to be informed if I find such thing in other forums . :)

not die hard fan, but I like the site.

My point is, why bother posting negative things on the site, if you dont like it, dont post. (this is aimed at Roy, Taco...i mean Carlos, the guest...etc)

Hey Hiphopdec, you are

Gravedigging. . . . . why ?

How about dealing with the present ?

Starting up fights long buried is not good moderator behaviour, nor are moderators supposed to be running attempts at public character assassinations !

Say something interesting !

By the way, this site would be mopre fun if images could be posted.

:D
