Does anyone else miss TLS's + Bigbadwolf's posts?

[SeanMacGabhann]

eh? When did I say you were offensive Declan? I haven't even implied it!

You were lobbing things my way yesterday which I took time to reply but you ignored me (fireworks thread)

I genuinely have no idea what your beef is with me

My quote (from someone lots of people haven;t heard of, but don't let that stop you looking him up - he's ace. I've seen him at least 3 times in venues in East Dulwich. So not that obscure)... but my quote was meant to indicate I agreed with Quids point in general - but because of the state we are in we can't have that level of debate yet

What IS your problem with me ?? How was my post parish priestish?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Calm down, farder.

You never said I was offensive Sean as far as I know.I put that in to try and avoid any future offence. Obviously didn't work. What's this about me lobbing stuff at you in the fireworks thread. What thread? I'm getting old and the memory is letting me down so please be specific. Thanks.

HOW VERY DARE YOU!

I see myself as more of an upmarked version of Sophie Ellis-Bexter, with the looks of a young Kristen Scott Thomas. Britney is not for everyone...

Bottom line is both posters repeatedly transgressed the TOU of this place.

Both were repeatedly warned, both were repeated offenders.

Both are banned.

TLS alleged racism is neither here nor there nor ever a part of his ban.

I too am uncomfortable with the bandying about of accusations and the inability of those concerned to defend themselves, but HAL's assertion that BBW's posts were the equivalent of a disorder that needs attention and sympathy almost made me spit my coffee on to the keyboard. Wolfie would be the first to say 'i am what i am, i stand by what i say and I accept the consequences' for that I rather admire him, certainly more than many who post on here, but allow him back? Not until I see a change (though not my call obviously).

There has been much accusation of the illuminati, stepford, lizard variety that unwelcome views are suppressed, yet those all seem to revel in voices that are antisocial and 'controversial' regardless of the often poisonous reactions they engender and the deep upset they cause.

This thread excepted, I for one am glad the lounge is a quieter place. The forum's recent absence and my willingness to wander back to places like Thisislondon or other fora where entrenched anger ridden slanging somehow qualifies for debate makes me even happier to welcome back the EDF's return. Long may it continue to be a refuge of the ludicrously bonkers yet sane.

Admin took a decision for the good of the forum, tough decisions but I'm happy to back Admin for that.

For those who feel the place is poorer for their removal, and they are entitled to that opinion, there are other fora where they still have a voice.

Go, enjoy.

Word.

[dulwichmum]

I completely agree with Piers (bats eyelashes).

[TillieTrotter]

Oh and Keef's post a few pages back...shows a rounded sense of reality. A very interesting thread per se.

Racism is not always black and white (worst pun of the week award). There is a whole spectrum of beliefs and attitudes out there... and although his views often left a bitter taste in the mouth, neither was he the most offensive person I am ever likely to encounter. Pigeonholing him as an out-and-out racist is not necessarily accurate or fair.

I don't think he is a particularly rare breed. In fact, he probably speaks for a much greater proportion of the community than a lot of us here would like to acknowledge. He quite possibly mixes in social circles where they regularly bemoan the demise of traditional English society, and where immigration is blamed for many of the country's problems. Such people undoubtedly do not consider themselves to be racist... but Tony is quite obviously coming from a totally different frame of reference than most of us. Sometimes discussing these things (as tricky as it was sometimes with Tony) is more constructive than accusations of racism.

[Keef]

Well said Jeremy.

If we're going to start forming into clicks on here, can I just say that I think all the cats on here are for the most part lollygaggers and yeggs, but the chicks are all straight from the fridge and ginchy.

Can't say fairer or hepper than that.

[Brendan]

Well skippy there slimline.
