Yeah, it's just me :)

Is this possible? Would save people having to ask for it, and getting accused of having a hissy fit, or flouncing off. Is it possible with the software to have an option in the control centre to close your account, and ideally, have all posts removed?

As would I admin, and I never meant to suggest otherwise. Was just trying to paint a picture of how some people might view the place, that is all.

Sorry if this is not the place for this, but perhaps a discussion as to how such things should be handled... It is of course your forum, but maybe people would have suggestions. Whatever I said before (I genuinely don't remember), I felt uncomfortable reading that, and then Sean's response almost made me want to start sticking up for AFN (sure it wasn't his intention, but it immediately made me feel like a person was being ganged up on, with no means of defending themselves), something that I have NEVER felt the need to do in the past!!! The stuff you have to put up with as Admin, must be a total pain in the bum, and I don't blame you whatsoever for getting fed up, and perhaps feeling like taking a "hard line". However, the average user (me included), is not privy to this stuff, and they just see your responses to things. If I am honest, the place can come across (to me anyway), as a bit of a strict school, with you as the head, and the moderators, as your goody goody prefects. I have to admit, that this sometimes makes me (and I suspect, others), want to be a bit "naughty". It's probably very immature of me, but hey, at least I can admit it. AFN, was one of the most constantly annoying and aggressive posters, and I sometimes wonder how s/he managed to survive so long. Sometimes though, I really wonder why people have been banned for things that seem to be nothing to me, yet for all I know, they sent a load of abusive messages. Perhaps a "Banned" thread, whereby, you ban someone, and just write I don't know, perhaps I'm the only one who feels this way, and I'm not even entirely sure what my point is, something just felt a bit wrong about this. Sorry.

Only just seen this thread, and remember this case well. I agree with Anna & David that the farmer was basically in the wrong, BUT, I think it is very hard to apply a strict black & white law to this situation. The man had been terrorised, it was the middle of the night, and they were in his house. Who knows what was going through his head? It may have been "I'm going to kill you, you little b@stards", or it may have been "Oh God, Oh God, Oh God". It is hard to say in the cold light of day, whilst sitting in my office, how he should have behaved, but in that situation... Mrs Keef has a real fear of intruders, and if someone did come in, I could easily picture her using the dirty big knife she sometimes has under the bed if she felt she or her baby were threatened! I don't believe one should attack an intuder, but I find it hard to condemn them for it.

I guess for me, it was the same thing that got me smoking Marlboro Reds, drinking JD, and playing guitar. I thought it was ROCK! :-S

LOL, I can just imagine you saying this really earnestly Matthew.

I have 3, not sure I'd chose all of them again now, but I don't regret them, and would love another couple (but they're not cheap). I do think some look really vile though.

Cool, are we having public floggings now?

Applespider, perhaps you're right, but I thought the Capitol went more or less straight from bingo to pub, didn't think it was empty for long.

Anna, I'd like a new cinema too, but from where I'm reading, some posts on here seem more concerned about the church factor than anything else.

Loving Brendan's Smoke on the water, Bevis and Butthead style!

Did all you people kick off when the Wetherspoons opened in Forest Hill, or was that okay because it wasn't a church?

East Dulwich before 1999.

There will be a programme about this on Thursday morning at 9am on Radio 4. Inside the Ethics Committee

Talking about this on Radio 4 right now.

Can I clarify, if I post a thread, then go and use the word "bump", it is deleted automatically?

The claim that suicide is selfish, is a well used one. However, why should we be anything other than selfish with our own mortality? Yes I'd think of my wife and child, but I like to think they'd understand my decision and want me to be free of pain.

I wasn't trying to talk to you like a kid Kel, it's just that on other threads, you've joined in with talk of forum cliques and things like that. As a result, I made the assumption, perhaps wrongly, that you had a bit of an issue with the forum, your second post on this thread strengthened that belief. Anyway, I'll shut up now, was just trying to politely tell you how it was coming across, at least to me.

Kel, is there something you think should be added to the local info section? In which case, just suggest it. Stop with the whole Big Brotheresque Cliquey accusations, which are very thinly veiled IMO. Lets all just get along shall we.

Stephen Hawkins is hardly typical though is he.

No, but I believe there are some cheap Crocs available in the for sale section.

*Slaps Moos playfully on the bottom, whilst winking and doing that double teeth click thing* *Passes her a ?50 note* In and treat your self to something nice, there's a good girl. *skillfully ducks flying frying pan*

I liked his mate, although crying about it is a bit, well you know, French.
