Let's be friends

[Jeremy]

Seriously. So many threads have been consumed with nonsense and quarreling, let's make an effort to get on. It's worth a try... let's see what happens.

By all means, disagree with people. Debate or argue until your heart's content, but don't bicker, and don't get personal.

Don't bring previous quarrels or personal arguments into separate, unrelated threads.

Don't gang up en-masse and pick on someone.

Don't harrass people or make sexual innuendo when they have already pointed out that they find it offensive.

Right... let's see how long this lasts...

Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

[Brendan]

Fucking hippie.

[Moos]

What Jeremy said. This has got out of hand.

Now look what you've done Jeremy!!!

[Jeremy]

Hey! I'm no f***ing hippy!

[HonaloochieB]

Should you stay or should or should you go, Jem?

[HonaloochieB]

Hyuck hyuck, Les Be friends, snark.

[bigbadwolf]

Yeah, how dare you insinuate that Jeremy's a hippie! He's a gentleman and a scholar but likes a toke now and again like we all do.

[Jeremy]

Maybe friendship isn't essential. I would actually settle for understated resentment.

Whether he went on with the thread, or whether he did not go on with it, made no difference. The Thought Police would get him just the same. He had committed— would still have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper— the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever.

A few agents of the thought Police moved always among them, spreading false rumours and marking down and eliminating the few individuals who were judged capable of becoming dangerous...

[Jeremy]

But no attempt was made to indoctrinate them with the ideology of the party.

And that's the main thing, kids!

[Brendan]

Hey how?s that for coincidence, Charlies also just posted something from Nineteen Eighty-Four over on the trousers thread.

[Moos]

Brendan, you started it yourself on lords of the lane 2 days ago.. are the threads all blending into one dystopic thread?

[Brendan]

Did I? Something from Nineteen Eighty-Four like these: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/file.php?20,file=3942

Will you still be allowed to go off-dystopic.. as long as you're in the lounge?

[Brendan]

Oh yeah the re-education thing.

Got a memory like an elliptically shaped piece of wire mesh used to sift flour.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

There's a riddle, Brendan!

[Moos]

*Bob* - yes, but only distopic and not dat.

Brenda - mine's an ordinary round sieve, have you been buying from Cookwonk again? Elliptical indeed.

[Brendan]

Dishwasher related accident.

Stuck my head in it.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Was it you who stole the Dalek in 1973?

[Moos]

You have an elliptical head? ::o

Or was your hair more than usually lairy that day?

[mockney piers]

I'ev seen him traverse stairs at Denmark Hill with a peculiar singlemindedness so I'd hazard there's more than a little of the cyberman about him.
