A clique of cunts calling me a cunt sounds more like an invite.

Happy days then oi re: your cunt clique comment.

I didn't pre-empt anything really...I was responding to your comment when you said I was even more annoyingly pedantic than yourself. Then dub got in on the act and there was dicks and cunts everywhere

If you're going to call me a cunt just do it I'll call you one back of course but at least it's honest and not a suggestion

Well feather I came out with the arse kisser comment because I was already being ganged up on by then so I thought I'd give a little bit back.

As far as the DIF is concerned, I know we're allowed to use that forum without judgement...again I was responding to dub, he brought it up, like it was a big ta da moment. Then it was suggested that I was cosying up to Sean, perhaps even doing his bidding That's what I was responding to.

I've said my piece.

Ok.
I disagree with you 100% though.

And here's a wee tip for when you get your self employed gig up and running.
Don't yell from the rooftops that your business is dying on it's arse because you're not a millionaire in the first year, then expect people to flock to your door.

Unfortunately I suspect my point whoooooshed by you.

You were being annoyingly pedantic, I said you were being "annoyingly pedantic", you immediately suggested the insults had started. If you consider that an insult the internet may not be for you! No dicks or cunts appeared until after you decided you'd already been insulted when, as shown, you hadn't been.

Again with the flip-flop! Is it insulting or honest?

I was ganged up on and ridiculed oi, end of story.

A lot of your "points" woosh over my head oi I suspect you're the only one who gets them

We'll give it a set amount of time, say another day folks?

Or shall I declare it decided now?

Imho,
If I said, "that sket is a right plonker, don't you think Oi?"
and then Oi replied "yes I do, I also think she's a cowbag, eh Gilly?"
and Gilly then replied " oh yes I agree with you both"........
That would be "ganging up"

When people separately and individually express their views without banding together, that isn't ganging up, it's people expressing their views......

I don't mind being disagreed with, I just don't like being ridiculed and indirectly called a cunt and a dick

So 43% of those that have voted don't want it introduced and 57% do. Did we ever decide what an acceptable majority is? Personally I'd say this poll is rather inconclusive on these figures and not a mandate for anything.

But that scenario would be quite clearly meant completely jokingly, and would be taken completely as such by sketts, as you well know dubs.

So NOT a fair analogy, end of.

That is not the same as indirectly calling you a dick.
Are you a politician all of a sudden?

Jeez....so you want a vote on what constitutes a fair vote. And then no doubt a vote on that vote, etc etc tedium ad infinitum..

....unless you get the result that suits you personally on the initial vote of course.....

Is it okay if I put my thoughts in?

Mods and Admin and regular posters, don't take offence, I am just giving some constructive criticism here...

I like this site, it has a good solid loyal membership for the most part, but....why the alternative news or any news theme?

Can we try and sidestep away from that?

Who wants to read more daily news topics or re-hashed news topics to comment on - either for or against?. We could do that on the news sites themselves ...if we wanted.

I don't want to read about problems of no end, I want to see offers of solution.

I would also like to see more topics of subjects that matter that are not reported enough in MSM, not conspiracies but issues that have been around for years.

Bring those to the forefront...


Could you please consider a broader spectrum of topics to advertise this site? there are some good informed and intelligent people on here who I feel may be being limited because they just might feel they have to keep things to a certain degree of conformity or uniformity..

I have observed many forums in my time spent on the net (as I am sure others have too) and I can only give my own personal judgment on where I see things as beneficial or not.

From where I am standing, if potential people who are looking to sign up see what is going on in here at times, with the silly arguments and at times be-littling of others it can come across as a childish play ground mentality, some should up their behaviour standards and thoughts, don't argue with each other, if you want to get anywhere then you should counter comment but without personal attack, wind-up or provocation.

Also, leave Irre alone.

Got to say, today has been somewhat interesting.

Oh crap... I think I shouldn't really say anything. Or then perhaps, maybe yes.

I voted before I read the whole thread. Now I would really want to sit on the fence, but the vote is cast. Well, it's just a forum and all that. I don't know what it would do to have guests posting. To be honest, this whole thread is so confusing and frustrating I really don't know anything to think on the whole subject.

There's something in the air, has been for a while, irl too, I just can't put my finger on it.
