It's all a bit pots and kettles here isn't it?


The forum's just a cross-section of society: you get the odd wally, wide-boy, wisecracker, gossip or shrew. Most people are pretty nice though, just as they are in real life.


It's also easy to misinterpret, to judge people through the sunshine or fog of our own lifetime experiences, again often incorrectly.


It's often possible for one man's witticism to be seen as another man's personal insult. Admin can't legislate for everything. The Spartacus issue was obvious, I'm afraid the rest are less so. They're repartee and highly subjective.


Undoubtedly if you look for problems you'll find them, intentional or not.


The easiest thing to do is look for the best in people, and look for the best in their postings.


If you can't find it within yourself to do that then maybe a chat forum, with all its challenges, isn't the best place to hang out.

Well Quids can get a genuine rise out of me on here, but I've rarely met a nicer, more decent chap in RL. I would never let experiences on here spill over into the real world.


In fact I've been trying to tempt the likes of snorky and Alan Dale out for a drink unsuccessfully for ages, and if Louisa would ever like to share a nice glass of plonk and a bite to eat at Iceland I'd be more than delighted.


I too was annoyed that I didn't know Miekcg was there as I'd have given him a big doff of hat for having the balls to come along after winding quite a few posters up, but then his online behaviour softened slightly but noticeably after that experience too.


Many of us have had to mature our approach to the EDF since its inception, and I like to think there's hope for everyone.

I'm sorry. I've not read your comments. I just wanted you to feel loved.

On the outcast bit,to reassure you, no-one's going to remove your postings unless they break rules.


As in all public speaking you'll be supported by those that agree with you, and challenged by those that disagree. It's a forum!!


If you have an unpopular opinion, then there will be a majority in disagreement. This isn't because of a gang-mentality, but because the opinion isn't widely shared.


Really now, please, relax and move along....

interesting, so I need to be slightly more clever in future so as not to upset the Emperor.


but I still don't see the problem with pointing out that someone seems frustrated and pent up ...


or was it what I said afterwards that mirrored Will's comment but in a more subtle way


I am so confused and back in the old days there was none of this issue because we didn't have the internet !!!

I hope you're not talking about me here Mike. I was introduced to you and we had a chat. I remember saying to you that you hadn't done yourself any favours by some of your postings i.e the disgusting Munich air disaster song and the waving tenners at the protestors last week but I'm pretty damned sure we got on and left it at that. I certainly don't remember hearing anyone least of all me calling you a cock at the top of their voice and if it did happen then I must of been outside smoking cigarette or getting the drinks in.

I called you a bit of cock on the thread because I felt your post had warrented it. You seemed to have wanted to pass it off as humour. What may pass for humour in your mind obviously differs from most other people.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?

      I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      That is a bit cake and eat it tho, isn’t it?    At what point do we stop respecting other people’s opinions and beliefs  because history shows us we sometimes simply have no other choice  you are holding some comfort blanket that allows you to believe we are all equal and all valid and we can simply voice different options - without that ever  impacting on the real world  Were the racists we fought in previous generations different? Were their beliefs patronised by the elites of the time? Or do we learn lessons and avoid mistakes of the past?   racists/bigots having “just as much to say” is both true and yet, a thing we have learnt from the past. The lesson was not “ooh let’s hear them out. They sound interesting and valid and as worthy of an audience as people who hold the opposite opinion”

      I don't have a beef with you. But I do have a beef with people who feel that a certain portion of the public's opinion isn't valid.  I don't like racism any more than anyone else here. But I do dislike the idea that an individual's thoughts, beliefs and feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them, are somehow worth less than my own.  And I get the sense that that is what many disenfranchised voters are feeling - that they are being looked down upon as ignorant, racists who have no right to be in the conversation. And that's what brings out people on the margins and drives them towards extremes, like Reform.  Whether you like it or not, the racist, bigot, anti-european nextdoor to you has just as much say in the country as you do. Intellectual superiority is never going to bring them round.
