    Exactly! :)

    Now, I'm not saying that the ones where the people deserved the abuse because they started out being stupid aren't funny. "Foggot", "Bob's Artwork", the party invite, pie charts - these were hilarious. But some of the others - not so much.

    I just read "Timesheets". I'm going to assume Simon is an annoying twit rather than just some poor guy that Thorne decided to pick on so that I won't feel guilty for laughing so hard. :)

    Isn't Simon the pie charts guy? Maybe I got the people confused, but he seems to torment Simon a LOT.

    But I have to disagree about how funny his writing is. I find what he writes (the style and the implications underneath what he actually says) hilarious. :)

    I thought the F26-A one with Simon was brilliant because he basically had Simon tell the story the through the F26-A complaint forms.

    If someone is being a douche, then they deserve to be mocked, absolutely. But if someone is not being a douche, then this level of mockery and dickery is not nearly as funny.

    LKD, he does it with flare. Personally I agree with BT. All of the people who were mocked in these pieces had it coming to them in some way. Also the guy with the F26 - formal complaints does sound like a real douche. But really what is the point in arguing about what a dick David Thorne is? I'm pretty sure we are in the Sensorium and not The Alleys. Not everything has to be a debate. I would say that if he really bothers you, don't read him.

    @ Splunge - Your humour fell short.

    Yes, but a different Simon. Pie chart Simon's last name is Edhouse; co-worker Simon is Dempsey

    And again, I wasn't trying to be funny. I was trying to be a snarky a-hole like Thorne. Yes, different style, but still an a-hole.

    But Thorne is a funny snarky a-hole. Just being a plain snarky a-hole is hardly demonstrative of anything. :p
