I too missed these chaps. I think you are referring to Ptader who recently surfaced in this forum. Intelligent but fanatically behind SDP. Guy used to torment WP and its supporters to no end and discouraged others who were not Pro SDP from commenting.
You know something is not right when he said that Ghandi would be DPM one day. And he was convinced. The other thing was lack of integrity - ommisions was his hallmark. Guy had access to SPH archives but always cut and paste things that were favourable. The fabricated Ang Mo Kio incident however was another mistake. Also had old man's style of labelling people knowing that it will stick. I however enjoyed it when he took on the bigots.
I realised that Escobar had an immediate impact oin him and he started to behave himself and tone down the intimidation drastically especially on WP. He is the the one that made sure the label "Wayang Party" stuck. The opening line of every post more or less.
Let's address your "omissions", Scroobal and I addressed this to everyone in this new forum.
The year was 2006 and the young WP crowd comprising Melvin, Marcus, Andrew, GMS, jacys and their supporters like Scroobal and the rest of their merry men were treating the old Sammyboy forum as the WP's little fiefdom. The success of being praised by LKY and the huge crowds at their WP rallies had gotten into their bloated heads. They cockily strutted around the old forum criticising, taunting and ridiculing not only the SDP but other opposition parties as well. Nothing was sacred or kosher for these bunch of disrespectful riff-raffs. Threats of defamation and police reports (and actual police reports) were made against Sammyboy posters by these clowns. In fact their arrogance was such that WP Vincent had to beg GMS to stop posting because his sheer nonsense and arrogance was turning a lot of people off. The only one who was down to earth from the WP crowd and I credit him for it even today was Vincent.
It was at about this time that a few old forummers and I decided that enough was enough and decided to cut them down to size. Unlike the relatively new forummers, we were not intimidated in their thug-like modus operandi of ganging up like cheap thugs to browbeat forummers into submission and silence. Our actions encouraged the newer forummers to take on these bunch of riff -raffs.
For a flavour of how these WP Baru behaved at that time, I have posted four threads taken from the old forum in that year 2006.

To be fair, the WP crowd and their supporters like Scroobal are now better behaved and circumspect now in this new forum. I believe they have learned their lesson.
Unfortunately, Scroobal in all his self-righteousness, tries to rewrite history as many of the old timers are no longer in this forum. Since he has stuck it out in this new forum, he thinks he has the right to lie, stretch the truth and rewrite the history of the old Sammyboy forum and about the posters in that old forum. I am happy to lets bygones be bygones. Likewise, I will be more than happy to post damaging postings taken from the past if the likes of Scroobal continue with their dishonest potrayal of what occured in the past and about posters from the past.
