Debate

I fear I have. I've been on here for at least as long as I've been in this house, and that's coming up to 15 years.

But I've had to change my logon a couple of times since due to weird stuff with pooters (you'll still find early posts with the same moniker tho' without Caps and stuff).

Seen quite a few folk come and go. Still badly miss Lucia :(

Stoday :(

Precisely.

And there's a word for when someone tries to opportunistically high-jack the other side of a cause when they have previously shown themselves to be very firmly in t'opposite camp.

Maybe I should show the dictionary definition of 'Irony' for the benefit of the fraud, Devils Antagonist.
Cannot bring himself/herself to say the word 'hypocrisy' outright because it fits him/her so well.
Not only that, can't even be bothered to spell it correctly.

Now, WHY SHOULD the fellow learn to speak English?
Cough up, fraud. Answer the question. Racist?

Please note our moderation policy

· Swearing, racist, sexist, abusive, crude or politically offensive language or images. Please keep your language civil – this principle extends to modifying the spelling of profanity to avoid filters, and will be treated in exactly the same manner. Please see the full guidelines here.

· Posting bad or spam links. Do not add links to any racist, sexist or any other offensive (politically or otherwise) sites or pornographic websites - this will result in an immediate permanent ban.

· Personal insults or abuse of other posters. Disagreeing with someone's point of view or about issues is fine - enjoy the debate. What we will not tolerate is lacing your argument with personal insults or trading abuse.

· Using multiple identities on the site; this is a tactic often used by trolls to try to create conflict.

· Arguments or disagreements with other users should not be carried over into other threads or posts.

· When reading posts, try not to jump to conclusions and assume that offence is intended. An inherent problem with communicating on the internet is that facial expressions and tone of voice are absent, so it can be easy to assume that a comment which was intended as banter was a direct provocation - potentially leading to retaliation. Try to assume the best interpretation of a comment; the alternative would be to ban humour and banter, which wouldn't make contributing very enjoyable


Should this continue, further action will be taken to stop this!!! I'm hovering over my big red button...

But Peter, people are naturally curious about what happens when big red buttons are pressed.

Or when they are pressed by mistake....

I hear the Hawaiian Government have sent out a worldwide request for Sewage Clearance contractors, after an accidental 'Incoming ballistic missile' warning was broadcast and texted statewide, and all inhabitants spent the next 38 minutes ******** themselves!

Loving the number of folk who have 'liked' this post. :)

I wonder how we would react? I honestly have no idea.

I think I'd just be too embarrassed to do anything, just in case it was a false alarm and I'd have to admit to amused onlookers to having been spooked.

So I'd end up being vaporised walking the dawg or summat :oops:.
