Er, why.
He's the one who pulls the juicest of posts 'cause he's afraid someone will be offended and his job will go up the Swanee when his bosses have to shell out millions in compo. Doesn't sound like a good enough reason to me to spoil our fun venting our spleens.
What do you say formites!

There wiz a wee man called Kim
who wished he'd been named Jim
he's bald as a coot
wears a pink suit
and is terribly good at his job and deserves lots of beer to be bought for him

Nothing ode to Hollamby

Hollamby.
A name
To be considered
In the dark
Watches of the night
Or when
Trapped in the heads.

Hollamby.
The name of
An alien being
Transported to Earth
In a stellar yacht to impose
Meralithian standards
Of free speech

Hollamby.
A creature without form
No sex please
We're sailors
Hence
The transgender naming
Kim

Kim.
Hollamby.
A being
An essence
Cyberworld hypertext
Pull the red 'handle'
In the forum of life

The Kim who fell to Earth?

'Butt control to major Kim
Reading new thread ... where's it gone?
Press "continue" and may Bill Gates be with you....

For here am I sitting at my work desk.
Far, from doing work.
The screen has gone all blue and there's nothing I can do.

'Butt control to major Kim
I need an expert, are you him?
Can you hear me major Kim?
Can You hear me major Kim?

Here, am I sitting on my own yacht.
Far, above the web.
Scuttlebutts gone down,
So lets all go sailing now...

Re: The Kim who fell to Earth?

Very good indeed! Although this makes the follow up something like this...

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky.... we know major Kim's a junkie.......

In hyperspace did Hollamby,
A stately pleasure dome decree,
Where talk, the sacred essence flowed,
From Sydney, Oz through Balls Pond Road,
Frae' Scotland to the sea.

So twice five miles of 6 mil teak,
Of exploding heads the crew did speak,
And here were yachts bright with AOL cds,
To scare the shitehawks and their breed,
And here was writing white as the snow,
Enfolding jokes that no-one knows.

But oh! that Mirabella thread which slanted,
Down the slipp'ry slope athwart a defamation,
A savage place! as Kim incanted,
As e'er beneath a legal threat was haunted,
And all when he was on vacation!

The shadow of the dome of pleasure,
Was rebuilt back in 2001,
For security and not for leisure,
Did Kim rebuilt that dome in air,
But ever since the old'uns say,
I posted long before you came this way,
That sunny dome! That compuserve,
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware,
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on bentos-fray hath fed,
And drunk the milk of paradise.

Kim Hollamby’s a mystery man; outside of time or space
A Maestro of the Internet and always round the place.
He’s the bafflement of Jimi, and tcm’s despair
For when he wields his virtual pen, their posts all disappear!

Kim Hollamby, Kim Hollamby, there’s no-one like Kim Hollamby,
A master of the virtual world and internet mythology.
His powers of intervention would make a censor stare.
But when you have your postings pulled, Kim Hollamby’s not there!
You may seek him on “Who’s Online”, you may pm him in vain
But when you turn your virtual back, he blocks your post again.

Kim Hollamby’s a slaphead bloke; he’s kind of short and dumpy
You would know him if you saw him ‘cos he’s virtually grumpy.
His fingers worn out on the keys, his nails are closely bitten
His suit is rimed from the salty sea of countless boat tests written.
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a gerbil
And when you think he’s gone to sleep, he wakens with a burble.

Kim Hollamby, Kim Hollamby, there’s no-one like Kim Hollamby
For he’s a God in human shape, a king of new technology.
You may think that you have seen him, as he bans your risque post
But when you point, and shout “J’accuse”! he vanishes like a ghost.

He’s outwardly respectable (they say he’s helmed a Sealine)
And nothing can be traced to him – he’s rather like a feline.
But when a thread is cyber-locked, or racy banter purged,
Or online flirting gets too much and abstinence is urged,
Why, there’s the wonder of the thing, Kim Hollamby’s submerged!

And when a rival chatroom gets an internet attack,
Or French-based moderators think they’re suff’ring from a hack,
There may be frequent mention of a thread that’s gone at night,
But it’s useless to investigate – it won’t return to sight.
And when the loss has come to light, the forum worthies say
“It must have been Kim Hollamby”! – but he’s cyber-miles away.
You’ll be sure to find him editing, or travelling to Goa
Or back at home with Mrs H., playing with his mower.*

Kim Hollamby, Kim Hollamby, there’s no-one like Kim Hollamby,
There never was a journalist who had such great autonomy.
He always has an alibi, and one or two in hand,
Whatever time the censor strikes, he’s in another land.
And of all the sinful posters, whose misdemeanours ought
To be the cause of punishment, he’s never, ever caught.
While others play the giddy goat, and wind-up all the time
Kim Hollamby plays cyber-god and keeps us all in line.

*(Getting desperate, now………….)

With apologies to TS Eliot. And to Kim /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif
