Well I was asking a question and what's the issue with that? We all know you struggle when challenged...

I'm going to refer you back to Weeksy's (overindulgent IMO) replies pal.
Keep tweaking your shitty pencil though.

There isn't a shitty pencil to tweak. This is called having a conversation and engaging in opinions, asking questions, maybe answering questions. Your response shows you're unable to have a discussion, you've joined in to throw insults around, you have no conversation about you, you struggle to engage with people when your opinion isn't shared. You keep tweaking your shitty pencil too, I'm sure there's someone for your ClapTrap.

Can I just remind you that
- this thread is a response / kind-warning to two recent threads that really only exist to incite
- the thread is by the boss
- who has already given you your answer
- you're being a dick about it, as usual

An answer hasn't being given, we probably know why. Asking questions, engaging in conversation isn't being a dick about anything. Being a dick could be perhaps, the back pedalling you're doing now?

When humour goes wrong.

To paraphrase Denis Healey: "Healey’s first law of forums: when you’re in a hole, stop digging.”

All it is now is a free-for-all to post left wing angst and then anyone not on that side of the fence is going to go after it.

I rarely agree with Ant on anything, but all he does is point out that people post angst with no logical argument behind it, we've had some pretty spectacular clashes over the years but I'd take ten of him all day long rather than one person who just regurgitates Twitter angst with no logic.
In fact Ant would probably make a good mod in that section - although he'd probably ban me

I couldn't disagree with you more.

Wrong section for that sort of thing chap.

I know.

The last time you got like this I stayed off the forum for a couple of weeks to see if it would carry on without me being any part of it, it did carry on and you gave two other people temporary bans.

Maybe make it clear it's a left wing moaning platform and it won't get any moderation, then leave them to it and I'll stay away, because at the moment some people are under the impression that both sides are allowed to make their points.

Since Yorick packed it in the only moderator that comes close to saying anything about the far left view is Moofo and he's centre left living in Brighton

Both sides can make any points they want. I'm not sure "you got like this" is correct... but i doubt anything i say will change your mind on that. I picked on your thread yesterday because it was absolutely ridiculous and didn't offer any debate in the poll options, it didn't have 'sides'.
I don't have or care about a political opinion, i don't have a side on the left or right and still mostly get baffled by which is which.

I'm probably too subtle, my thread was an obvious parody of the gun one, it wasn't meant to be serious, but it had just enough fact for it to make sense.
That's how good satire and parody work, it's obviously stupid but it has just enough sense to make you think.

I obviously need to work on it.

It's one of those things that may have been better in person but in reality on words doesn't quite fly..

My 3rd version was about the same.... i'm still not convinced Ant (and maybe others) actually got it.

Don't worry about it Iccy, I got the joke.

Shame I'm not a mod though.

Is that an application letter ?

Only if I can file it on Potter's behalf.

Wind it in.
You make some interesting points sometimes but the rest of the time it's all about charging down the mythical Marxists on here and whining like a broken milkfloat about "far left" views like the other forum loony (who, by the way, is motivated solely to prolong arguments of his own making. This thread being a perfect example). It's just as irritating to me as a woke liberal Nancy boy to have to hear that as it is you redneck patriots to have to hear some support of Gary Lineker.

This place is pretty much unmoderated as you well know, other places just have no-questions-asked set of subjects that are no-gos (religion, politics, polaroids-of-your-mum) and the mods are trigger happy with banning and getting a hard on about it. None of us want that. I'm surprised you're asking for it. I took your counter thread to doccas original post as a bit of a laff and weeksys 'warning' similarly.

I have no idea what left or right means. And have no desire to learn.

And mods shouldn't abuse their status by being pompous and know-it-all.

I think they're different people. Brought into a close union by their shared fear and confusion regarding what they call 'the left".

Sometimes, i'm wasted here...

You think individual wealth should be capped at £1million.
You're all for trans rights.
You're all for gay rights.
You constantly threw around the word 'racist' because people were critical of Qatar.
You appear to agree that the Tories of recent years have been a shower of shite.

If you can air these views without being labelled a 'leftie', why can't the rest of us?
