Ken Bigley murdered

An, your postings reek of utter negativitiy. Go have a look at your posts, not one of them is ever positive.

Your "humour" is very cryptic which, when used on here, is just a ramble of nothingness. I understand that your humour may be understood by some, but on the whole when you type something in jest it just passes by as a jibberish utterance.

You make clear your feelings about other people posting and it comes across as if you believe you are superior to them.

Merlin was being general with his posting and you directed YOUR posting to him. You get away with that often.

I prefer reading Merlin's postings to yours.

Up until now I have not had a reason to mention that though, as I didn't see the point. You seem to believe there is a point to do such things.

Moving on to Shadow Leader, if I may, I have noticed that whenever you have a dig at someone's posting/view and that person responds to you, you seem to disappear unless you get support from others, in which case you come out with all guns blazing. It seems that you too believe this forum offers more to you than others or you have more right to post than others.

You don't.

Now, lastly, disowning a comedian for what he says on stage is bizarre. How can you disown Billy Connolly when you have no dealings or connections with the man?
 
:D Thanks for your support T.W.I.N.E. I am so glad that I am not alone in my assumptions... the guy as constantly tried to dominate this board on how one should post things i.e. smillies, hyphenation, punctuation, etc etc ( I once had to get in touch with COL and ask him is it an offence to use smillies? he came on and said you use what you want to !!!) and being quite candid as I have said his post do not inspire me and are given a very wide birth from me......................

How long before this thread is deleted/closed????
 
Topics only usually get closed on here when someone cries.

I'm surprised no one has accused you of being Swirly Chaser yet, you do complain enough to be accused.

You have to understand the strangeness of this forum at times, Merlin. I have seen 8 pages of debate over someone's punctuation and 1 page of debate over a Group race.

On the whole, if you can avoid the hardcore lot with no views on racing, easy to spot, then you can enjoy this forum.
 
T.W.I.N.E. its because I am a bastion of free speech and a lot on here don't like you or I giving a down to earth synopsis of every day things happenings/goings on, without the blinkers taken off, it seems things are taboo to them.......

and its as I have long stated I am not breaking rules or transgressing on this board or any other board for that matter (I post jokes(the same ones as on here) on TRF never ever been chastised or had a thread removed and get over 100 hits per joke!!!!) I don't see it as a problem by speaking the truth or having a larf!!! as long as the individual knows what they are reading..............

the same guy openly swears on here, what about the watershed with regards children reading these threads or is this the guys intelligence shinning through? to openly use swear words on here or does he think it as being manly? :rolleyes: ...................
 
Am I the only one who is puzzled by what's happening to this forum lately?

Once a clique (thankfully no longer), it now seems to have descended into in-fighting.

What happened to BrianH's hilarious and ivariably apposite penchant for changing his avatar every five minutes?

What happened to prompt the hitherto affable MTM to get embroiled in so many rows?

Why does anyone think Songsheet is anything other than tolerant of other people's viewpoints?

Why does a ''newbie'' on this thread seem so confident they are familair with the posting patterns of others they feel prompted to comment upon them?

Does Shadow Leader get the shakes if she doesn't pursue an animal to its demise on horseback every 24 hours?

Will Ardross ever lend me his best wig?

These questions, and many others, probably won't be answered on the next episode, of...TH. :lol:
 
I can only answer one question - my avatar hasn't ben changed lately as I was away for about a month. I'm now working on suitable replacements.

During the few weeks away strange things seem to have happened on here - and not for the better. It seems to me that personal abuse has increased, that, as Ian has spotted, there are some newcomers who seem to have detailed knowledge of the forum's history, that there may well be "multiple personalities" on here and that in some quarters it seems necessary to attck the integrity or intelligence of a member with whom the poster disagrees.

It's quite extraordinary what motivates some people - I can only assume that people compensate for having empty lives in the real world by assuming fantasy carapaces when participating in cyber-communities.
 
Ian very good question indeed, since S/C has been gone I have had to take a barrage of attacks on me and my postings nothing has changed similar to 8 yrs ago when I was first posting then, the moderator has come down twice on the side of the attacker too! how does one explain this action?............

AN EVALUATION? excuse the pun :lol:

does that mean the some on here can't cope with their lifestyles/stresses and as some sort of relief, hide behind a qwerty board and try to sling shit? (they then would complain they are pacifist if confronted eye to eye, so then become shit houses so to speak?) or has there got to be a villain in every film/play???? :angry: and its me they have chosen to pick on ??? wrong guy I can assure you..............

But now people are standing up and now taking notice that you'll get no change out/from me who will it be next ? to have the dross and the treatment? shit can't be slung only one way you know, I can certainly respond if charged with something I aint doing? only threading as I have done for all these years...............
 
Ian.........

"Once a clique (thankfully no longer),"

Open your eyes man!


"Does Shadow Leader get the shakes if she doesn't pursue an animal to its demise on horseback every 24 hours?"

She's only voicing her opinion regarding something she feels strongly about. although it does make her comments about this topic heading all the more strange.

"Why does a ''newbie'' on this thread seem so confident they are familair with the posting patterns of others they feel prompted to comment upon them?"

It may be that the newbie has been watching from afar and has a good understanding of how members off this forum tick.



Ardross,

"I cannot think of a less appropriate thread for this sort of squabbling "

About time you locked it then, all this capitalist talk about working for more money in the Middle East and not enough of the poor socialist hard done by babble.

Squabbling...........some of you have a 'dig' at Merlin at every opportunity, is the intention to hound him off 'your' forum?
The guy gives his opinion, doesn't he have that right the same as you, or is it that you see yourself as more important, or your opinion more worthy of publication. Surely you, as a very respected lawyer (don't know where the basis for all those lawyer jokes originate from.....it's a cruel world) should be supporting free speech more than anybody on here.
 
I was trying to point out that a thread about the brutal murder of a hostage is hardly the most appropriate for petty bickering . Your post griff shows you don't seem to understand that
 
But 221 started it has the Billy Conolly ALLEDGED SAYING THREAD you changed it over ARDROSS and he complained too.... but it still stood as you wanted to call it, not what 221 had called it in the beginning lets get things into prospective........

I really think your trying to do too much on this board (and it runs o/k when you go away on leave and yes it is a lot of work(and apprecaited too) but you must not take sides and there is life outside of T/H too!! there are three other moderators? you should confer with them also! not make a decision for them and not bring your work home with you? so to speak...

"never let something or someone control your life for you!! a very good old adage to adopt"............


R.I.P. KEN BIGLEY........... As I had not posted a tribute to the guy and condolenses to his family as well .........
 
Ardross, of course I understood perfectly well what you were saying, but your personal policy seems of late, to 'lock' a thread that you don't agree with.

I happen to agree with your point to a certain extent, but as with many topic headings, they diversify as conflicting input is gained and they should be left to run their course. The topic of dead stock being dumped on the street in Brighton turned into a general hunting and polital debate.............still waiting for your answer to the question put forward on that.

I wasn't aware that the topic heading of this was changed by you, may I as why you decided it should be?
 
I was merely saying that I believe that a few people jumped on Songsheet before reading her post thoroughly. Of course, debating is part of a forum, but too many people have resorted to underhand insults rather than debate of late.

I am sorry if it appears that I "disappear" everytime I am challenged, however, one cannot spend one's life chained to a pc! I have stood up for myself on several different occasions when challenged so I resent the implication that I don't.

I have no desire to get into bickering about the subject, as has been pointed out in previous posts, this is not what the subject of the thread is about.
 
On the Richard & Judy show this evening there was a discussion on did he or didn't Billy Connolly say what was reported.
They had on guests for and against BC plus two who were at Connolly's shows who both verified that he made the remarks at TWO different shows.

Everyone accepted what was reported.
