PIGG Wilson - Statement

No, JFt96 was NOT PIGG Wilson I wish to lay to rest this cruel and unfounded canard with some urgency ... for PIGG’s sake if not his.

PIGG will go down in the annals of Boxing Forum history by achieving the most remarkable and audacious prank of all time, in a space of a mere 24 hours the PIGG registered, posted and was duly BANNED by three forums (Boxrec/CHB/ESB)

Incredible I think you will agree? How was this remarkable feat achieved?

In an idle moment at work the PIGG registers with venerable and somewhat creaky looking veteran Boxrec, near 50 posts in a single afternoon, all punctuated with the PIGG signature and PIGG Gif, he was banned. BUT what was this outrage the ban was only for one day (for the supposed crime of ‘Many pointless posts’) most chagrined the PIGG waited till his temporary ban was over, promptly logged on again when able, sent PM’s to all the MOD’S and posted a fiery screed denouncing the forum and it’s ‘moderation’ policy, within hours he was banned with the pithy comment; ‘Goodbye to bad rubbish’ Inspired by this he created a PIGG Wilson profile on the once promising, but now ailing CHB. The same Modus Operandi as Boxrec, many posts, the PIGG signature and Gif and for good measure a ‘PIGG Wilson Top Tunes’ thread that featured an eclectic mix of of PIGG favourite tunes. To make things more interesting a rather dim and somewhat pathetic character called NUFC engaged in some badinage with the PIGG but was soon cut down to size. Once again the PIGG was banned, hurrah the cry goes up, the so called Moderators of this organ take great delight in spotting alts, permitting one to go through the registration process then banning before one makes a post, to make a mockery of this misplaced arrogance the PIGG utilised a fake email and a proxy and in quick succession manged to create both the CARDEW and WATTIS alts and twice posted 'PIGG Wilson GONE But NOT Forgotten' threads (Cardew banned, Wattis in the Gulag) Late last night he invaded the bastions of dear old ESB, however rather then the abuse,rancour and spleen he encountered elsewhere the PIGG was received with some glee by the ESB faithful and urged on in his efforts (given the mass defection to CHB this year ESB is now short of both real and self styled characters so the PIGG was no doubt a shot in the arm to a very tired forum) Almost 70 posts in less than an hour, at one point I was the last post on virtually every thread on the Brit Forum until the plug was (thankfully) pulled.

This feat will never be surpassed.

Was it 'trolling' I don't know? Many years ago when the PIGG's 'work' was more sophisticated, MUCH better financed and reached a global audience he and his cohorts were labelled as 'anarcho pop pranksters' and (one I he never understood but enjoyed immensely) 'Art Terrorist' working in a less glamorous area of the arts, bored with too much time on his hands the PIGG amuses himself with kicking over the statues in his own unique fashion. The Boxing fraternity should not feel victimised however (though PIGG does favour this avenue due to the 'types' he encounters within) his net is spread far an wide and many fora covering many subjects (The Church of Scientology and the New Kadampa Tradition are old adversaries) all feel the wrath of the PIGG.

My sympathies to JFT96 for any distress caused, and my contempt for the party who foolishly claimed he was PIGG.

Till the next time, till the next guise, goodbye.
