G-RICH

‘Back in the day’ the Edgeworth tribe was so unfeasibly large that is allowed each and every great aunt, seventh cousin and assorted hangar-on to register as bona fide Pprune members
(amazing how few of them are around now that the walls of the sh**thouse have blown apart)

If you’re running short of chuckles trawl through some of the historic PTC threads.
All inconvenient negativity is countered by random ‘college’ members describing their journey from spotted youth to square-cut ATP in terms of transcendent religious experience.
Typically each of these contributors has only a handful of previous posts – with an almost uncanny similarity of writing style to the great Captain himself.

On a more serious note, there was a very valid point made in a previous post regarding the influence of PTC’s advertising budget on the moderation of this website.
Certainly there was a bias in moderation here by the suppression of adverse publicity when the PTC scam was at its height.

There were many who attempted to raise a warning flag on the Edgeworth’s operation only to have an eraser rubbed through their efforts.
Perhaps the culpability of Pprune as the ‘media’ should be questioned a little further in this case.

McNulty,

There’s no need to scratch for ‘new material’ on Edgeworth.
The accumulations of his stinking heap should last everyone a lifetime – and then some.
It should be sufficient to ask the question that so many in Ireland are asking about so many un-convicted criminals: Why is he not behind bars?
