Hey where's our good man Shaf? Long time no see!!!

Good question! Where is Shaf?

All choices are tooooo good MCL!

Yes, where is Shaf?

Hope he's alright!!!

MCL! Do you really think BM is capable of making Shaf run for cover? I, somehow, seriously doubt it!

My thoughts are that his wife is knocked up (again) and he has retreated to the UK to ensure that the sprog is born in England to guarantee it's British passport and entitlement to free NHS treatment for life aswell as child benefit for the mother at the current rate of £80.00 per month.

Note to DDS, sprog. A term for a child in Britain, please don't get confused with frog or anything like it. BM remembers when you misinterpreted my reference to Kanelli's children from kidlets to piglets. Sprog is sprog and sprog only

I thought he might be joining the silent protest, but thats not his style, so he must be tied up with something.
Hope he's OK.

Maybe he's converted to Judism??

Other possibilities:

-He has been very busy lately with his foe lists, perhaps he put himself on the foe list (if thats possible) per accident and cannot put himself off it anymore, or did something else with it so nobody can see his posts? Or he put everybody on his foe list and doesnot see any post anymore.

-He still continues posting under an alter ego handle.

Maybe he's too busy in his new gainful employment as proof reader of Haaretz.com?

He may as well get paid for it

I just googled Shafique! The only possible was an Indian Restaurant in Chelmsford, I've discounted that as Shafique is British. That's a FAIL then.

Another thought He may have a repetitive strain injury.

Come back Shaf! I can't say all is forgiven tho'.

On the contrary, I think it is very much his style and the hope of the silent witnesses that the Forum degenerates into chaos for purely selfish reason.

I'm sure the silent few are alive and well, and keeping up to Date with events here on DF.

His carpal tunnel was acting up so his doctor advised him to stay off the message boards for a while. Something about him loving his posts too much.

Not sure how he's going to avoid hearing his own voice or looking in the mirror.

Bingo. But it must be quite the Herculean task for him not read his own posts. Kudos to him. Let's just hope his old posts can keep him satiated if the urge is too much.

He's probably got bored, like the rest of us and decided to find more interesting places to hang out, plus probably sitting there silently hitting the 'report' button on all the rubbish posts.

You really think so? I think that’s something only a miserable, immature loser would do, I wouldn’t put Shafique into that category!

Morning Chocs!
You haven't lured Shafique to Expatwoman have you?

Shafique is capable of ANY kind of behaviour. Like a psycho narcist.

Well, this thread hasn't helped his carpal tunnel - what's his doc going to say?

cheers,
event horizon

He's really not around is he?

Lol I loved the improvisations. The Hareetz one was hilarious.

And what's with this silent protest? What exactly are he/they protesting?

MCL, I think the suggestion is that they may be protesting their removal as mods and that the forum will implode without their input. I know DDS seems particularly aggreived, he doesn't say much these days, just posts random links
BM wants her little munchkin back!

I have two theories: if they remain silent, it will be the demise of DF due to the lack of their beneficial contributions, or: if they don't contribute to DF, those that do will eventually cause DF to implode and find themselves banished forever, leaving the door open for them to return and show everyone what DF had been denied by their absence.

Actually the self-imposed exile that they have taken is a welcome break. But then again, there are those few exceptions where they can't help themselves and reveal their true self.

10 to 1 BMs little muchkin will make an appearance shortly with a nasty post. He's sooooooooooo predictable.
