In a hilarious mixup over there Matthew Sweeney has mistakenly (well...) implied that Alex is "a natural born quitter. i.e. a loser."
This happened when antichrist dragged a quote by Alex from one thread to another, and showing his usual semi-deliberate sloppiness in the area of quoting, failed to quote it correctly, so that it looked like part of his (AC's) post.
The quote from Alex that was dragged was a claim that he would recommend to Matt that the Toolbox be "shut down" if the site's stats were "not an improvement or at least steady" as of the end of the year.
Matt apparently mistook this for an original comment by AC and on that basis flamed him.
As it happens on my reading of their post stats they are roughly steady on post per day average for the first 7 months of this year when matched to the first 7 months of last year. And after August is thrown in the mix they will probably be up.
But really, who cares? In the last week they had 328 posts, which might sound pretty healthy by their standards but it isn't: 170 of them were pointless babble by antichrist and Axiom. By the time you take out those two and anyone fuelling their babble there's not that much going on over there at the moment.
Apart from Superbear's brilliant sendup of the stupidity of devoting an entire subforum to a single thread about Linares 2009 of course.

Hey Mate, what about Sprouty's babble over there inflating the SB counts by about 5000% all total piffle - and I should know being the master of it.
BTW do you think I will get another "quote right or die" blast from Matt?
But KB good point, Matt calling AO a quitter and loser!! But I will always like Matt's fighting spirit. Whereas I am like stick gum - just mould into any position (S & M) and stick onto anything - an attention whore to quote someone famous
