See that's fucking respect that is

By gosh we've got some good folk come through the doors of late. Big up yourself ed

Yeah absolutely, respect and kudos to both of y'all, and the SZoners already here and new DIFugees! I for one don't want to make it seem like it's a sudden crash-bomb and we've come to take over your forum. I'm sure you guys have seen it roll out a few time before? I distinctly remember two culls in the past... I remember logging in one day, practically just after new year? And we had (ha, 'we', lol) lost Limelady, Darketernal, LostinAStrangeworld... was that when you went also Gilly?
I always tried to give the benefit of the doubt, but knowing some of the posters who got banned it just seemed so out of character, you knew something had to be suss, after all these episodes the mods and site admin do not come out of it looking well.
The Savile thread was probably a stay of execution, I had practically a sabatical away from DIF, just visiting the gardening and humour threads! The Savile thread was a goldmine, and it was happenig right on Ickes doorstep, it was his to take and run with it, that thread had given him a real weapon to use against the establishment. October Wembley talk comes along... nothing... possibly a passing, oblique half mention of Savile? He could have done 7 hours on Savile and the links with the establishment as it is!
Ding dong goes the first alarm.
In the following year I noticed that the info coming out of DIcke's headline ream (is that the right word? Is that what you do with straws?) was all old news, non of it was supplying information, it was all repackaged information from the thread, or, which is DIcke's pattern, just posting whole MSM news stories with no wrapper, no context. (EXACTLY like he did with the Lee Ryan stuff)
And then Edwina Currie on TPV? I have watched the vid... hmmm... you are fkin kidding me right? Words and smileys cannot express what I am trying to express... just...
I recently joined up to Twatter, I'm all over the place, no idea how to use it btw! But is DIcke ever off it? Every fucking minute I get a twat from DIcke.
BUT ANYWAY... yes just wanted to say, we have kinda bombed you all a bit, many of us know each other from DIF and are literally carrying on conversations that we interrupted earlier that day on DIF! I think we're pretty much open about it, we've made no bones about why we are here, and how we came to be here, and yes I wanted to add +1 to respect to those already here at SZ
So thank you to SZ for the great welcome!
