I Know my positivity annoys Mac
But that doesn’t count as abuse does it?
I haven’t been barred since Basil Robbie took offence to my anti O posts.
That post is the biggest heap of inane gibberish I've read on this forum. Nothing personal, he/she might be an ace person, but the writer needs to attend a literacy course. Does that qualify as an insult?Yep ,absolute utter garbage from him. I love it how he professes that he's up front and straight and his post is heavily loaded with sly digs at various people.
I generally don't get involved in the racism issues but he doesn't half like to play the racist comment. People having a different approach on how to deal with racism issues isn't necessarily racism in itself but people like to throw out the racism comments simply because people disagree with him on it. Same with Cat too. Another who endlessly plays the racist card. Think it was 1966 who's views are pretty left wing and I'm sure is fiercely anti- racism commented that he doesn't really see it appearing on here. Words to that effect anyway. And I agree with him.

It's not a matter of grammatical accuracy, but of clarity. He could have made the point far more concisely and clearly. Of course I don't find your response insulting. It's just indicative of a limited understanding of the need for concision and precision, particularly from a poster who appears to have an elevated sense of his own importance and intellect.Disco, you are talking b0110x.
While his grammar may not have been perfect, I am sure that everybody could fully understand the point he was making.
On a forum like this, I'd imagine it's more important to get your point across than to satisfy members of the Grammar Police like your goodself.
I do hope that you don't consider my response be insulting.

It isn't though. Understanding the context - a message board - one can be more forgiving. Even then though some posts are difficult to understand. The standards on here are quite high. I would hope that this would rub off onto the more grammatically challenged. To a degree, I think it does.Why mock someone on grammar. Smacks of childishness.
Not sneering at all. As for having 'a mate' who calls you names; well, I don't. I don't mock anyone on here unless it's ironically or in jest. Neither do I wear my school as a badge of honour. I was not one to join the Old Boys association. Neither do I feel entitled.You’re condescending in the extreme. Your grammar isn’t perfect. Your posting mate thinks it’s acceptable to call me a **.
What good company you inhabit.
You continually mock others; I went to Arnold too, what gives you a monopoly on English? You sneering non-entitled entity.
I think tensions are just rising a bit high and people are getting a bit cranky all around at the mo. Cabin fever and boredom is setting in.
I take it all with a pinch of salt right now. New Years resolution being not to get drawn into battles that aren’t worth it, and that’s most of them these days
Hes been here before under numerous names, tries to start being not too controversial but eventually snaps, returns to type and gets banned.Despite being at the sharp end of indefatigable comments I found them harmless and fairly amusing.
Mmmm I think Poulton girl may have a bit of Italian in her
Hi 1966. From Wikipedia, which is, of course, no guarantee of veracity. "Concision is a writing principle of eliminating redundancy. For example, a sentence of "It is a fact that most arguments must try to convince readers, that is the audience, that the arguments are true." may be expressed more concisely as "Most arguments must demonstrate their truth to readers." " Why is it clunky, if the word exists and conveys its meaning?"the need for concision"
hmm? Bit clunky don't you think? I know what you mean though. There's no need to go overboard with grammatical precision - it's a message board. However, there are limits. Sometimes the occasional full-stop would be appreciated.
It can be if it's thrown in to a statement that is received in more of a conversational tone than such a word would seem comfortable. That was my point. On reflection, however, it was late, I was tired and probably went over the top with that comment.Hi 1966. From Wikipedia, which is, of course, no guarantee of veracity.

Perhaps with your strong political leanings maybe the red planet is more to your taste.Yep, it pays to remember that "nothing matters very much, and few things matter at all"; more so on a small insignificant forum on a unregarded tiny blue planet at the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the galaxy.

Ha ha ha still going well. I have rhino skin, good job as I get dogs abuse on here. Good job I really don’t give a fuck.
Unfortunately it appears many on here would defend him and blow smoke up his arse whenever they can. You are certainly correct...one rule etc. The 'ignore' button helps tremendouslyI see it’s acceptable for a very vocal poster to call the majority of the population morons. One rule for some and another rule for others (mods).
