The Steve T and Tone whatever thread

[SeanMacGabhann]

far better use of time!

BTW, was the treble-post a knowing wink to Tony's modus-operendi?

[????]

Non caps though ;-)

[Keef]

The worst bits of cliquiness that do from time to time emerge on here.

I admit that CC, is one of my best mates in the real world, and I know he posted this when really drunk at 2:30 in the morning, that is why I laughed, because it was a funny rant.

I do think he would have been better just sticking to the housing thread rather than starting this.

I know what you're saying about going against the liberal norm, and questioning immigration. In fact, people like myself and Jeremy supported some of these questions, Tony just went a bit OTT with it, and held on to it like a dog with a bone.

Tony has never said anything overtly racist, but A LOT of people have raised questions about whether or not he is. Personally, I have no idea if he is a racist, or just an old school white Londoner, but I can see why people have made assumptions.

When I first saw Tony's user name, and where he lived, I admit to immediately labelling him as a racist flamer. Since then, he has become quite a big part of the forum (for better or worse), and I think I was hasty. I do however think that he doth protest too much on occasion.

Sometimes he makes me laugh though.

[RosieH]

CC is a man?

Derrrr. I laughed because I imagined someone along the lines of

spouting serious obscenities...

(td)I'm in two minds about them myself(tu)

[bigbadwolf]

Can you all please stop using these daft emoticons please.

[TillieTrotter]

No BBW, they're pretty and I like them so bog off back to your own non-emoticon clique.(6)B)

[RosieH]

BBW, I'll join that clique.

[bigbadwolf]

Thank you Rosie. Any more?

[TillieTrotter]

I forgot to ;-)

[SeanMacGabhann]

RosieH - you are far from the first person to think CC was female - I did myself back in the day

But his ability to throw out a beard at will is rivalled only by Mockney..

[Keef]

Rosie, think my favourite pub, and the name makes sense.

He has another name on here too though.

And I thought Crystal Clear was thus named for the clarity of his thought. Especially at half past p!ssed in the morning.

SteveT will not be banned for comments to date.

Tony.London.Suburbs will also not be banned for comments to date*. He has been warned before for taking discussions off topic hence he cannot post outside the Lounge. He has also been warned for not reporting an offensive and illegal post and instead saying "Admin will get into trouble for this, let's see how long it'll take to be removed". That mockery is not in the spirit of the forum.

At the end of the day, if one person is spoiling the forum for lots of people then action will be taken, but people have to let me know their thoughts. I have had about six complaints about Tony.London.Suburbs in in the last six months, which is borderline and the situation is being monitored.

Please remember it is not about censorship, is is about dealing with individuals who make the forum an unfriendly and unwelcoming place. That is not what I want the forum to be.

*However if he refers to me as mate or mucker he will be.

If you mean this quote red devil who are you disagreeing with? The Aministrator?

Hooray for our Administrator we have top quality management, only in my humble Daily Mail biggotted opinion of course.

I am still waiting to get a reply from CrystalClear and LegalEagle-ish on the alleged inflammatory remarks I made on the Housing immigrants thread.

I am a very patient man, well in this case anyway.

[Santerme]

Or perhaps Oliver Wendall Holmes

[LegalEagle-ish]

Sorry steve, i can't be arsed trawling through all your garbage, it was bad enough first time round, but rest assured, i'll point out any further bollox from you as soon as it it occurs.

[silverfox]

Very clever Santerme, especially given CrystalClear's foul-mouthed tirade

A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanging, it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in colour and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used.

I have written less than ten lines in total on that housing thread, so I can understand why you 'can't be arsed trawling through all that garbage'.

[citizenED]

I think I can say that I have never read through an entire TLS post. It's the form and content argument, the structure and style of his prose entirely obscures any meaningful point he wants to make. Read everyone else's responses and you know precisely what Tony has said.

Actually, you can pretty much just read Tony's username and you know...

[Mark]

I've read through some of his posts, if they seem coherent and normal a quick Google search shows that he's copied it from somewhere and tried on pass it off as his own. Tony didn't like the fact that I pointed it out a couple of times, and then he made out that I'd committed the crime.

[edited once]

[daizie]

So has this turned into a 'who dislikes TLS' thread now ?
