I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Iccy IS on the left.

Being left and being whiny are two different things :lol:

I couldn't disagree with you more.

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

And mods shouldn't abuse their status by being know-it-all.
TBF, if you don't know what left and right is, the latter is not too difficult for us ...

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.

Each day that's becoming ever more apparent.

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 :lol:
I thought you and Ant were the same person???
Which log in I use depends on which mood I'm in at the time.

I would never ban anyone. I'm open to free speech and discussion. In fact, I love getting into a meaty discussion and picking at the flaws of people's argument and seeing the tantrum and Frank Spencer trip ups which happen as a result of me asking questions which they simply have no ability to answer.

Nah, Ant is Robin to Potter's Batman. Comedy Batman, of course.

A mod could solve that question at a stroke by comparing login IP addresses.

We have a new series called Gotham Nights here on the gay agenda network. Robin is now a black female, didn't watch long enough to find out if she plays for the boys team though.

Ant as a black female - that could work. Potter is very exercised by racism, real or imagined...

It's not that easy to tell. Stalin and Hitler had a similar attitude to anyone who questioned their ideas. At the extreme left and right bend around and become one. Tyrany.

I think Moofo might have been thinking slightly more basic on left and right ;)

Which quite honestly makes you a troll, end of conversation.

I hate wind up people, they are normally those that have not met anyone that will give them a good hiding for goading people with temper/mental health issues into a reaction, keyboard warriors - its a major bug bare of mine.

I won't use the C word!

If you make a statement as a fact, then when asked a question have no ability to with any fact at all back up what you said, your inability to discuss and debate isn't someone else's responsibility. You can't duck your responsibility under the disguise that the person challenging you is a troll. Imagine that as a defence to every question one cannot or doesn't want to answer.

I agree with that, but be careful who you question, in reality the world isn't that cut and dry.

So one moment it's trolling, the next you agree? Ok.

No need to be careful who is questioned, it's a forum, anyone can engage in conversation with anyone.

Don't get me wrong your still a troll, but that specific statement i agree with.

One good post doth maketh the man.

I also have a degree of respect for the people that frequent this forum, so my posts aren't as flippant as yours.

Yes, we know what it means, but you suggested that is what I've done. Could you perhaps show me some examples of such?

You have been posting flippant random negative statements since you've returned.

How about engaging into a conversation with a positive attitude and try and understand other people opinions even if they are against yours?
