    Looks like Reid Welch was on the Miami news a few months ago!

    "he's just an unstable person that's more and more unstable everyday. I'm absolutely concerned, i'm terrified of this guy."

    HD, you're probably too [forum] young to remember his antics, yes?



    His mental stability was certainly about as solid as blancmange, eventually leading to a permanent ban....TWICE!

    Right when I read the title of this post I knew it had something do with Reid.
    Do not view me as a critic or a judge. I just tell it how I see it, valuable or not.

    Ah, Reid! I remember distinctly this guy (how could anybody forget him?) I pictured him as a rather benevolent figure at the time, if somewhat (OK, a lot!) quirky.

    I will conclude this post with a composition in his very own style.

    And then, it is this <---- And by this I mean your conscience
    Further ameliorated by the clouds. The clouds? It is your conscience, unconsciously drifting.

    Much more contemporary, yet at the same time immortal. We find out what we are not looking for.

    So you see, you look, your eyes open? But more, contemplating the possibility.

    The endless.
    Endless.
    Endless possibility of sounding contrivances of the most extraordinary character.

    Until in the end.
    The end.
    The end...

    Or...is it?

    OK, that sucked. This guy was really good at not making sense at all. I think it's a talent. LOL

    I'm wondering how he gets from place to place. I bet you this guy is in the No Fly list as well.

    Didn't he actually post about his mental instability quite often? From what I remember from his... rather "bs" posts (the only way I can describe them really), he admited his health has actually pretty bad and he couldn't walk?

    If that was the case, how did he manage to paint a sign... and SURVIVE being spear tackled? This guy, from the photos he posted... was pretty much stuck in a chair attached to a computer!

    Posting your phone number on a public forum is just stupid. If anyone agrees with me, phone me at 123456789101010 (don't forget my country code +61!) and we can discuss it even further!

    Hey Daniel, you didn't answer the phone. ONly voicemail answered, but I couldn't understand anything. Was in Australian.

    MFH, buddy of mine back in Germany was writing the same stuff - called it poetry. He even got published in our smalltown rag (he was the only one sending in stuff). Nobody understood his writing, so he was a great poet.

    I write that stuff often, but its only really to sort out the feelings and nail them down (so to speak).

    Mind you, everyone can understand my stuff. So I'm pretty bad! AND if you read some of the stuff classic Aussie writers did ("Banjo" Patterson was one in particular), that stuff was damn hard. Like Shakespeare, only with a heavy Aussie accent ;P

    I know not everyone here shares the same opinions, but one thing I do think we all can agree on:

    Mister Reid was a few pennies short of a pound!

    Apparently there is a youtube video Reid made of the incident. Taht's one way to approach film making.

    The thing about Reid is that he doesn't look that unstable to me. He actually sounds pretty reasonable and coherent in his videos in Youtube. And, by the way, far from being physically disabled:

    LOL the more I watch the more I feel sorry for him... well at least a bit of compassion... empathy for his plight perhaps? OK, well at least he's amusing! Funny thing is... I am CERTAIN he Googles his name often, so the more posts we enter into this thread the more likely he will be to see this and return! (For A Third Banning) Keep em coming guys!

    Why did he get banned anyway? Was it just for posting stuff off left field, or did he actually abuse people in the forum?

    If it was just the former, I did find him interesting, if at times overwhelmingly random. Here's an idea: Create a forum section called "The Reid Welch Show" and just let him post in that area. That would be a rather interesting initiative in my opinion.
