One Right, Two Wrong
Here are three posts from the chimps’ home on Facebook, all of which appeared shortly after the arrival of the June 2024 formation at Wilton Windmill. You know, this inoffensive pictogram that reminds us of a sperm:

First up, whining croppie Hamish ‘Camel’ Jacobs, expressing an opinion on a crop circle despite been 9,000 miles away and having never stepped into a formation in his life.
Calendar quota, Hamish? No circle makers are working to provide anyone with photos for their calendars. That just happens in your own bitter, sad imagination. As for going through the motions … could it not be that the makers are new to the fields? Everyone has to start somewhere. And the mention of the circle being ‘spiritless’ is ironic, as formations such as this were once the very spirit of the phenomenon. Perhaps it’s headed back there? Whatever … Hamish the art critic continues to show his lack of historical context, reducing everything to a competition.
Talking of people without context, hang your head, Dawn Tottle, whose criticism of the formation was called out for potentially driving circle makers away from the fields:
No circle makers are staying at home because they ‘are sick to death of people thinking [crop circles] were made by aliens’. We asked all of the circle makers we know if this has ever been the case. The answer was a unanimous ‘no’. You’re talking shit Dawn, and you’re not speaking for anyone but yourself.
Finally, we will just let this post by Nick Bull stand alone as it neatly summarises what the crop circle world has become on social media:
Great one, Mr Bull. We are in complete agreement.
A little birdy told me that Dawnie Tottle likes circle makers sosig in her mouth
So true fam.
A message for Robin Knight, as I am fully aware you can’t leave this website alone:
Earlier today I was sent a screenshot of the comments you made about me in the chimps Facebook group, of which you are a moderator. You are fully aware that I am unable to engage in personal debate there as I am banned by the owner, Mark Gilbert. Hamish Jacobs blocked me long before that. Let us also not forget that there was another post in there stating that anyone who linked to (and possibly even mentioned) The Croppie will be banned. So please don’t play at being naive. We’ve been there before with your comments about gay men, plus I am fully aware that you were perfectly happy to share footage of a female croppie’s children on your Crop Circles, Sand Circles and Other Ephermeral Art page.
From my recollection, on the only time I met you, you were reduced to grovelling at my feet and asking me to put you in touch with circle makers who could take you on a night out. It was never going to happen.
Anyhow, The Croppie would like to congratulate you on now possessing the power to open the comments on threads, approve comments and make deletions. It must represent the high point of your crop circle life. xxx
