Yeah pm only . 
It would irritate him even more if we were talking about him and he didn't know what we were saying. He will still be reading this thread .

It's a pity because i did agree with him on one point. The one time i went to Ireland it rained for a week. I was there to play cricket so it had a bit more of an impact on my plans than it would on rugby but all the data i collected suggests rain ruins your day 100% of the time in Ireland. Having said that i think it would be an awesome place to go to see a rwc. Just take a raincoat or garbage bag.

Back in the days when Bart used to post here I remember him getting banned a couple of times after one post, his logins were usually revolting versions of his current login.
 
Does anyone want anymore details of this losers background ?

Here's a little something from 2008 on the rugbynet boards 
Hello 
I am an admin on another rugby forum. 
The Rowan Q....../Q...... P....... business has been going on for many years. 
QP was a disaffected NZ rugby Jounalist. Rowan Q was also a journalist and daughter of NZ rugby commentator,. 
Rowan Q and P had a falling out, and subsequently, a protection order was taken out against him. Ever since then, he has embarked on a hate campaign against Ms. Q 
P often uses various user names.... "Rowan", "Rowan Q........", "Fitzy-Smith" and "RowanQ" among others and makes bogus posts often aimed at slandering Ms Q. He starts off appearing to be a normal rugby fan poster, but his posts gradually take on a sinister theme. He is known for posting huge long rambling posts that make no sense, and when challenged about them, simply cuts and pastes the identical post in reply. He also often makes posts that are just straight cut and paste from random websites that aren't always rugby related. 
Last time I heard anything about Poulsen is that he was in Spain where he was claiming to be an English teacher. That was about 18 months ago. He has probably moved on from there now. 
You would be well advised to just ban him as soon as it becomes apparent that this pest has infected your forum. 
If the admins here want further information I can provide it via my email addy

Well this thread has taken a turn for the fucking weird.

Damn. I was enjoying that while it lasted. 
Ah well, back to the day job.

He lives in Turkay now and I've seen him on another forum claiming he's Turkish . He's a ginger loser from Lower Hutt, having said that it'd be great if he stayed there permenantly - in the style of midnight express. 
The "articles " he says he writes are similar to the drivel people submit for free to stuff nation , they are usually so full of shit that even Winger would think twice before taking them at face value,

Ya'll fluffybunnies are allowing your judgement of a loon to distract you from the main point of the thread... 
South Africa is bigger than Ireland

But Ireland has more water on all sides so existentially speaking we're more afloat than South Africa.

Hello Quentin, did this thread work out the way you wanted it to?

13 pages long Jegga. I'd have thought he was well pleased.

I also think he brought up a valid point about Ireland being small and the number of fans being an issue. This has been raised before about small islands

Immenso Rapido

I remember this guy from way back, planet rugby circa 2000. Was crazy then, obsessed with same person. I don't frequent any other rugby forums than this so never come across him for 15 years, but was instantly recognisable.

I'm not sure what he hoped to achieve but being outed as a cyber stalker and nutjob probably wasn't too high on his list. He's nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is and he does like to twist facts or flat out lie to suit whatever bullshit he's trying to sell ie Irelands too wet, small and there's not enough to do.

Catogrande

Yes he is a knob.

Tim

We must be one of the most patient forums with trolls.

True, but Quentin is different to your average troll. I doubt winger would ever even dream of hacking into the Facebook account of a ferner or make blogs where he posted disgusting lies about people that were more successful then him like Quentin has done . 
A word of warning if you type his name into google images he is the first result. You'll need a strong stomuch .

Derm McCrum

He's now started the same thread on another NH forum that I frequent and despite a few broad hints from myself has managed to keep others going for 4 whole pages now. 
 
All the exact same arguments, blindly ignoring other facts as presented, or else twisting them to arrive at his same conclusion.
 
Ireland is still too small, only two cities, only one rugby stadium, couldn't handle the numbers, etc.
 
RWC 2011 was a step backwards compared to all the others, the tournament has now got too big for small/tiny countries to handle, etc, etc.
 
There's loads of people in South Africa that will fill out the vast array of stadia that they have - it doesn't need international visitors as much as there's more than enough people in SA to fill the stadia, etc, etc.
 
Zzzzzzz.......

I'm sure there's more. The second link banned him after 12 posts.
