blonde poker forum

I said this to bundle on another thread, didn't mean to have a dig at him as he is probably onto something. The two word poker story is a little out of control of late. I'm all for people having fun and that and if you aren't interested then stay away from that thread. However, we're getting close to crossing a line with it, if we have not crossed it already.

Perhaps it could be more aptly re-named the 'two word soft porn story'. I've just gone to the trouble of scribbling down a recap from the last couple of days and it is getting kinda over done...

Here are the highlights/lowlights, all from the last couple of days...

....Poppet appeared naked and hot and very horny. She looked very wet because she showered recently. A towel was wrapped around her left arm because it showed her little freckle.....

.....Tank said my sore ass is feeling wooly and needs some lubrication so Dave bought jelly.....

.....Mud wrestling in jelly with poppet who was having a bit too much jiggy with tank......

.....His (M3boy's) winkle looks extremely provacative in the dark but whenever he sat on Charmaine it grew much bigger until it burst all over the poor girls new dress......

.....Poppet decided to wear a thong for skippy but then she decided to call on tank to wear those knickers because he likes poppet so much. He also really loved her in a costume of batman rubber suit which showed pantyhose like never before......

.....Poppet couldn't suck it enough.....

.....You dirty the dishes and never close the oven door whilst tickling the tank......

.....Get a room said tank to poppet as Dave got jealous of them stroking each others pet genitalia.

I'm no prude and always up for a laugh but enough is enough. Personally I'm going to stop posting on that thread if it's a soft porn novel in progress where I seem to be one of the main characters.

A lot of folk derive enjoyment from it, including myself. A little innuendo is fine, but I'd like to appeal to all the posters on it to stop making it pretty much exclusively, all about who's banging who in wierd and wonderful ways. Perhaps if you make sure you've had some in the last 24 hours before posting we wouldn't all be such filthy minded buggers.

If you want to talk dirty there are plenty of places on the internet where you can do so without ;chieften; getting on his high horse.

Right, spent too much time on this rant that makes me look like a killjoy, back to the tables I go.

Just read all that back and I do come across as a bit of a boring bugger. (Not editing it or deleting it after it took me so blooody long though :D)

All I'm trying to say is lets be careful not to take it any further. I appreciate a bit of lewd banter as much as the next fellow/fellowess.

As Ironside said on another thread....


I agree with this 100%. Hope I haven't come across like I'm complaining for the the sake of it.

Tank,

I agree with you. I don't read the two word thread, not because of the sexual content but just because I can't be bothered it seems like a lot of inane drivel to me.

I'm not opposed to inane drivel on principle, I'm more than capable of indulging myself from time to time. I just think it should be mopped up every so often to stop the floor from getting sticky.

What's your point Longy?

I think he was echoing the sentiment that if you are unhappy with a threads content, you are under no obligation to view it.

Well that's only true to a certain extent. I don't read it and I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

The question Tank raises however is; 'Is this appropriate content for this forum?'
The answer, in my opinion, is no.

Each to his own. I'm not offended but I can see why some people might be.

I don't read that thread either. I guess if someone's posted stuff which is out of order or not in the "blonde spirit" whatever that is you can report it to the moderators?

Can't comment on the thread itself as i think it's daft (never even looked at it let alone posted on it) but reading that little recap you've done i agree with you Tank.
If you don't like being the subject of it then you have every right to have it removed.

Perhaps that's what I should have done. I'd have to report myself aswell though as I joined in with a lot of it.

The problem here is it's no one person's fault. Indeed a few of the posters on the two word thread had subtely hinted that they thought it was going a bit too far aswell. (by showing the  :redcard: etc.) I thought a general appeal to calm it down a bitty might be the way to go.

It's only supposed to be a suggestion really. I don't want to overstep the mark, who am I to tell people what to do.


I'm not insisting it's removed, I don't want to spoil the fun. The sheer volume of posts on there in the last few days is testament that plenty of peeps are enjoying it and I don't want to stand in the way of that. I'm just trying to pre-empt it getting out of control.

Tank

Everyone  have been happy to contribute in the middle of the O/T storry, not at one point did anyone pull out or stop posting or say it had got out of control.

It is a bit lighted fun a and it has gone a bit out of bounds and maybe the thread should be stopped or the story changed around now.

It seems like it more of people to trying to drop each other into the storry like as i aid as bit lighted fun.

Ive only posted this response as Poppet contact me just know by MSN as she thought people would her a bad name etc, which I told her everyone who contribute to the thread is just as invlolved.

Take Care

I know, I'm as much to blame as anyone else.

In fact probably no-ones fault, just one of those things.

Hope you didn't get the impression I was digging at you Skippy. As far as I'm concerned abody on blonde is a good guy. (Except Timaloy, he's too good and wins too much :tikay:)

I think I should post now:

Sorry to anyone that I, or the other blondeites, may have offended. It really wasn't meant to offend anyone and as SkippySkip said, was just supposed to be fun and a laugh. Maybe because i'm immature compared to the rest of you, but its just silly fun... I mean 'tickling the petrol tank with an oven glove' - its just random sentences made up by each person saying two words. I did enjoy posting on there, but I think I will stop because I really don't want to upset anyone in any way. Once again, I am sorry.

Poppet xx

Hmmmm, I have to say i'm hesitant to post on this topic. I have only posted a tiny amount in the Two Word Poker Story, and that was quite far back at the beginning, when it still had something to do with POKER.....  That topic has long since gone and it has evolved into something more seedier.

I have gone back and read the last 20-30+ pages as I don't keep up with it anymore, and in fairness to the thread itself, Poppet was just as much to blame as anyone else (sry Poppet, but that is my opinion) To say you post in a thread because you "have to" is daft, of course you don't, and the people that post in the thread are the names that usually appear in it. Poppet herself has directed it to herself at times.....

If you don't like the direction the thread is taking, steer it away, or don't point it at yourself, and simply don't post on it!

That said, I totally agree that it has got out of control. There is a leery feeling coming onto the forum lately, and IMO it just isn't the "Old Blonde" This use to be a poker forum, with a great bit of banter on the side, now it seems to be steering in the wrong direction.

Hiyas all :)

Got ourselves in a pickle eh?

I think the lovely Tank was tryign to save the blushes of Poppit, when Poppit wasn't really blushing at all, although it perhaps sounded liek that in the strange non verbal world of online!

A caring gesture from a nice chap!

I think the thread does get a bit risque - but like a lot of threads on here (and the reason this is such a good forum), is that it is all done with affection and warmth. I don't thinkt here is malice in anything anyone has said on that thread. I have had to edit two words from that thread in all the time it was up - and that was because of a genuine mistake.

I'm not caught up with it lately, I have to admit, but I wil go and catch up later tonight, when I have the chance.

In the meantime - if you don't like it - then of course don't read it. If you do enjoy it, then read it and contribute! You guys have made it what it is after all!

Let's all recognise that Tank was merely being a gentleman and acting in the way befitting that status!


Heid
xx

That's true, I wasn't blushing because I knew it was just a joke, I don't get offended easily by stuff like that. Thank you Tank, you are, as Heid said, a gent. Have a nice day all xx

Thanks for raising this point tank. This was what I was alluding to last night when it was pointed out that I swear too much. Swearing may not be offensive to all, and neither might that story. But others will be offended. It should be discussed by the mods anyway. I think heid says it best when she said that its always done with affection and warmth. Thats the good thing about blonde, unlike any other forum on the internet I have ever been to.

I think the difference is within the context.

Swearing and insulting behaviour is much more contextually offensive in most cases than mild smut. Certainly for British cultural sensibilities - hence why we enjoy carry on films so much.

I think the fact that swearing and insulting words can cause hackles to be raised in a thread much quicker than smut - as proved by the fact that the two word poker story is now over 200 pages long, whilst any thread infected by vicious and insulting behaviour is removed and dealt with - ususally at the request of a member.

As I stated in my previous post - I believe from reading this thread, Tank was acting upon incomplete information when he started this thread, as is so ften the case in non verbal and non face to face communication - we lose so much more - around 85% of thje information we normally get from a face to face conversation, in fact.

I was asked to remove this thread, but I thought that it could be calmed by a few well chosen words, and we could amicably move on. I hope this is still the case.

Heid

never mind that.

Poppet i have just saw. you average 29 posts a day....!

Do you sleep eat or go out? ;tightend;

Dont think thats needed Heid, we're all good natured adult people. Well maybe apart from me. Surely the topic can be debated without the need for censorship. Although your calming soothing words are great on the eyes, I don't believe it was stormy in this thread in the first place  :D.


You certainly make a great point... although I'd have to disagree with the classing of all British cultural sensibilities as equal :) Humourous anecdote.... When you spend a night in Glasgow where swearing is used for punctuation, and you see that people are not being offensive but polite, the world becomes a completely different place. It was a weird experience. And try as I might to persuade my wonderful other half to curb her tongue whilst we lived in Oxford, it did no good and we eventually moved back (although only due to redundancy I might add!) so as the old saying goes, "When in Rome...."

As for poppets post average, aren't they all related to Dave!?

No I don't sleep, or very rarely, today I slept from 5.30am, til 9am then wanted to get up!
I don't go out either, I'm normally cooped up in my room all day - sad I know (although have to start going to college!)

and no MikkyT... they do not all relate to Dave!  :D

Okay... tank too :)

You're just jealous  ;hide;

It's a bit like when you go to a different country and they use the horn on their car for a different reason, once you translate that a beep can mean, off you go .. here I am ...mind that pot hole...be careful of the dead sheep around the corner, then your eyes and ears begin to extrapolate differently.

I swear a lot, I am sure the people that I use MSN with a lot are more than shocked at my use of the many swear words I have come to know and love over the years, but I wouldn't converse in those same terms on this forum as I do with my friends on MSN - I'd get banned :)

You make an interesting point about cultural and regional differences - it is part of the challenge that the internet poses, in terms of context and moderation. One man's greeting, is another man's call to arms.

I'd class this place as a quite rowdy bar where everyone was friends, and people respect each other, newcomers are welcomed, and given the chance to prove themselves. Some people choose not to talk to certain others, and occasioanlly something naughty slips out of someones mouth.

Myself, I have to be so careful not to swear like a tropper at any given oppurtunity - I even swore at a job interview lately - I got the job, but hell, that could have gone so differently!

At it's basest point - it is all about context.

Heid

I too posted on this thread, but way back pre-100 I think, and when it was fun!

I had noticed it had kind of started to run away with itself in the past few days, I didn't bother reading it, and don't think I have once since it hit 100 pages.

To be honest, I'm bored with it and sick to death of it appearing on my "show new replies to your posts", but I do just ignore it and "mark as read" when I'm finished looking at the stuff I am interested in.

It would be nice if we could have a "never show this thread" option on the forum, that people can pick and choose to use on anything they are not interested in any longer.

Trace

How the hell did you manage to swear at a job interview  :blonde:

I am very creative :)

Get me on a roll about something I am passionate about and I am off.. don't forget my job is to moderate moderators basically, so I have to talk about things like swear words and context and all that malarkey :)

Luckily it all went down very well!

ahhh I thought you meant a real worldy job interview, face to face like.

Oh no it was face to face :)

Very real world :)

Proper job in fact, even!

???????????????

couldnt think of a worse way to spend 2 hours of my life!!! not that i have anything about sexual innuendo (fnarr fnarr) but because the films are pap (note the user friendly swear word ;))

Personally i agree with several of the other posters on this thread - i've never taken an interest in the two word story thread and have never contributed on it, i stopped reading it a few days after it started mainly because if i hadnt signed in for a few days it took too long to catch up with it. Now if i see that its back up at the top of the list i just dont open it.

If i ever saw a thread that i thought was inappropriate then i would inform one of the mods and ask their opinion as to whether it is suitable or not - but then if you've read some of the drivel i post on here you'll realize thats not very likely. Same as if someone read a post of mine that they thought inappropriate, if the mods concurred that it was inappropriate i would have no objections to it being removed.

I think that we have the balance just about right on this forum - i used to post on others but soon stopped because of various flame wars etc etc.

As the saying goes - if it aint broke dont fix it.

I personally can't stand em either, but they made a load of em and people seem to still go mad over em ... I do think what with them, Emery, Hill etc, we do seem to enjoy smut, and to a greater degree than most other cultures.

We like to be shocked, possibly.

Nice post Monkey Boy :)

If i personally have upset anybody with crude remarks or inuendos i would like to apologise ........ sorry  ;hide;

apology accepted. Being such a sesitive soul, it has taken me all my time to return to this board after reading some of the filth posted on that thread....




 ;scarymoment;

Don't be daft Charmaine - you'd never offend anyone.

To their credit, aside from the harmless smut, the mods around here jump in before offense is taken. Airing on the side of causion rather than letting things go the other way keeps things healthy.

What are you after?  :D ;)

I'm not after anything. Credit were credit is due. I might not agree with it, but I'll not knock it.

Didn't realise there were so many sensitive souls...............my days of posting on the TWPS are over, I can't believe the trauma it's all caused.....sheeesh!
(Honestly thought this post was a wind up at first!)

Harmless bit of fun I thought - cannot see why it would upset anyone TBH.

I only contributed recently, and it did become sort of an addiction.

Anything that was written, or that I wrote, was supposed (and I thought had) be taken in the vain it was written - A LAUGH

You can go too far with censorship you know.

exactly

Why are your days over? Most people have admitted on this thread that if it doesnt interest them then they dont read it. The people who do post on it have thought they have done nothing wrong and the moderators who moderate have yet to say there is a problem with it.

as were the words of the great Mark and Lard from the afternoons on Radio 1 - "..........carry on"

now there was 2 hours of harmless fun of great hilarity with the odd innuendo thrown in and it was broadcast between 2 and 4pm every afternoon!!

STOP!!!!







Carry on.

Mark and Lard rocked.

yeah but then they had to follow it up with that idiot Chris Moyles :(

ahhh those were the days.........

Moyles in the morning is good, gets him out of the way and wakes you up. Well, its comedy dave I like really. His tedious links are class.

But now they've got that northern irish geezer... Colin 'I used to be a DJ but now I'm Jesse Mays bestest pal' Murray.

To be honest i stopped listening to radio one since Mark & Lard left.

MUST GRRRRRRUMBLE!!!

The final minutes of Mark and Lard on Radio 1:

BBC Radio 1, 2004|03|26, 3:08pm

FX DOOR CREAK

(sound of Lard mumbling very quietly to himself)

FX DOOR CREAK

MARK: Oi.

LARD: What?

MARK: 'S great that, wasn't it, Kiss, Crazy Crazy Nights.

LARD: (vaguely) Great, yeah, that, yeah, 's great, yeah.

MARK: What you doing in here on your own, though, Lard? the party's starting.

LARD: Well, you know, s-spent a lot of time in here, mate, I'm just, having a last look round, you know.

MARK: Yeah? I know what you mean, but...

LARD: What?

MARK: Let's not torture ourselves. Let's go to the pub and you can buy me a pint.

LARD: Yeah. (cheering up) All right, mate, yeah. One last catchphrase?

MARK: ...A swift half a catchphrase.

LARD: Okay.

PAUSE

LARD: STOP!

FX DOOR SLAM

No carry on....


:mourn:

PPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT. I WAS HAVING A DDRRRRRINK THEN!!

Never read it as i knew it wouldnt interest me plus it moves to quickly. If people are taking the mick out of themselves, fair game, but sometimes people take things out of context even if people are just jessing around with em.

Banana milkshake?   Ewwwwwwwwwwwww that's gonna stink!  lol

There are very few people I wish a horrible painful death to, but he is one of them. 8)

Just wanna say good post Tank. I haven't posted on there in a while as I open the thread, read the content, and then think "nah that's not for me". I don't have anything against those who do post on it but I don't wanna be seen to be part of it so I'm happy to leave those who do post on it to it.

If it did ever revert back to what it was I'd enjoy posting on it again. :)

and that is a good reply, it echoes my views

we are not about to censor the thread or change anything that is already there but I personally would rather the thread got back to what it was about if people want to carry it on....

Going back to the original post i agree, when Sarah London joined the forum all i could think was "what a depressing site" all blokes being leary over a few pics! This is something i really would rather not have on a poker forum!

I thought exactly the same Flushy. Did seem to be turning into an FHM thread.

but we all must remember not to get too sanctimonious about matters.  :D

Also it was making a new member feel welcome.

And possiblty putting off other possible new members, that may not have the good fortune of being a looker? TBH it left a bad taste, and I know I wasn't the only one that felt this way.

OK, that is a valid point too

Rest assured we kept an eye on that thread, where everything was posted with the encouragement and permission (in the case of the photos) of the new poster

Jane, we would have stepped in immediately if this wasn't the case.


Now this is only a personal opinion, it does not represent anyone else's views except my own, but I would like a little less of the innuendo and FHM stuff. I participate in places but everything in moderation!

Being a looker (and a model) was obviously a bonus, but I'd expect a similar reaction to any young lady posting a pic up on here. Just look at pokergirlie! (SHe got how many PM's?) Or the reaction when you changed you avatar. Or pokerdave's profile regarding Foxy Minx.

The lads on here are very honoured to be posting on the same forum as a lot of stunnas - not just Sarah.

Tighty, I think you would be surprised just how many peoples opinions that echos. I'm not trying to be boring, I would personally just like it toned down. If you WANT that sort of thing all the time, there ARE places for it.

I probably wouldn't be surprised...I hear all sides of the debate ...repeatedly!

I know there is no desire from any of us with the capacity to do so to censor, edit, delete etc but where necessary it will be done

It happened with a new thread this afternoon which I felt was disrepectful to some female poker players and it was gone asap, after consultation with other moderators

This is'nt just a poker forum anymore! It has become so much more... Also alot of the members use slapstick humour to get their points across, maybe the easiest way to get a cheap laugh.

Threads are not going to be to the liking of everyone, but thats like saying you like every TV program! You don't have to watch if you don't like... There are a few threads that have'nt been to my liking but i would'nt think of contacting anyone to censor the thread etc!

Come on let Blonde be Blonde!

Good post. Like I said when I read "two word story" if the current sentence aint to my liking I just leave it.

Sarah was having a bit of fun, and reacting to the comments given to her, much like the comments on the two word poker story.

If people were offended, then I apologise on her behalf.

As one of those blessed with less than favourable looks, I didn't have a problem, and have seen threads of pics of girlies on here before, and wasn't offended, but of course we are all different, and that is why we have such a vibrant forum.

I would like to point out though, that if anyone was going to be potentially offended by anything on Sarah's thread, then as her aunt - I was potentially right up there on the list of those most likely to throw a shit fit.

But I didn't :)

Personally speaking, i am a bit fed up of being treated as a sex object, I am a human being you know, not just a piece of meat for all you girls to feast upon. ;)   ... Sorry, I was dreaming :D



Ps. I dont read the 2 word story thread anymore, i leave that particular thread to the other Mods... I find it boring now, but each to their own... Everyone who posts on here has a moral obligation to moderate themselves and think of the consequences to their actions before hitting the send button. It is a difficult..no.. impossible job to keep everyone happy, as different people have different tolerance levels and senses of humour ....  But I think that if a particular thread annoys one person but the majority arent bothered.. then the only solution is for the offended person to just keep clear of that particular thread...

I understand what i have written above .... but im not sure anyone else will lol

you were the one posting most of the pictures!!!  :D :D :D

hello everyone. the 2 word story thread has caused some debate which is great. I didnt see the parts thetank posted up but am not offened. i did think about the story again and if it was me being named would i mind? i probably would have tried to divert the story again to a more conservative line. people sometimes say to me that im too PC and usually im the first to say something if people are being smutty in my company. ive even accused a guy on laddies of being a sexist (because of his profile and way he talked about women as objects) and i had never even met him before. it was on the laddies forum. when i sobered up the next day i thought i was a bit strong and felt a bit embarrassed.
i think people have just got caught up in the heat of the moment and not actively tried to be smutty. i think folk will maybe think twice about what they say in the thread now....lol
charmaine, you have nothing at all to apologise for. i thought some of your contributions were hilarious and i hope to see more.

happy new year (again)

mad

perfect monkeyanese - you should think about taking a job at the monkey consulate, we are looking for someone to help become a link between our two communities!! ;)

can i delete the worst thread on blonde

please 

can I can I please

please

nope you can't.

I have wanted it to leave page one for months now and die away. Never knew the monster I was creating!

 just don't put up a blinking poll about deleting  it or else!

Shame about that as we had left it for you. I blame the bloke that started it in the first place.  :D

lol


polll


shall killjoy ironside delete the thread or can tightend keep his monster

for it to be deleted type killjoy to keep it type monster

What about middle ground?  :D

IMO the majority of pages are ok, some are even funny, and it's surely the largest thread on blonde? A waste to kill it after such a long life.

One for the archives!!

my two bobs worth, i have noticed a LOT of sexual tension in the forum ever since the blonde bash, i dont know exactly what went on there, but i think it has something to do with it, anyone there see anything fishy going on?

I vote killjoymonster


and yes, if the people want me to go for creating the monster, I will happily fall on my sword

apart from M3Boy calling my raise with 23 off?


by the way, nice avatar.... ;scarymoment;

you cant destroy a piece of social history, imagine the world ened and ailiens found this thread in the furture. would give a real insight into human kind....lol

You created a fun thread, it just got "diverted" a bit

if the world ended, how would the thread survive?


sorry for the outbreak of common sense...back to the debate...

its a killer virus that wipes us out and leaves the web alone of course  :blonde:

but how would we know if it left the web alone if we are all dead??

we wouldnt but they would............by the way, all this is just theoretical aint it?  :D

or is it?!?!?!?!?! doo doo doo doo

you are now entering the twi........no wait, different planetary timezone - this earth doesnt get wiped out by a sudden outburst of chicken influenza, thats timezone 6b.

My apologies :)

accepted with gratitude  :D

You might not say that once you find out what is in store for this timezone - 4f!! :'(

darn - i've said too much, if head monkey finds out i'm in trouble.

What a funny thread, diverse bunch on here.
That's just it though isn't it?

Yups, got it in one!

WOW.  I have just got home from work and am amazed to see this thread here.

Looking at it I’m not sure if I opened this can of worms or the tank did. But no matter.
I was just stating a Fact that the thread gets up my nose, does it matter if someone has posted 10,000 times or once? NO. people are free to post all the old drivel they want. And like you said, I don’t have to read it,( I NEVER DO ANYWAY) It just get’s my goat that it always ends up at the top. I would never have brought this up, But someone started a thread annoying things, and this is one of mine.

Someone made a great suggestion……… Never show this thread button. If I have upset anyone well……
 

The two word thread is a nightmare from a moderators point of view

Every 10 minutes there are 20 new posts to be read, and usualy, if there is something a bit iffy, no one member's "two words" are offensive in their own right

Does that make any sense?

Implied odds... ;)

Good post Mr Dog.

I was going to mention this. Collective responsibilty is an issue. However if you know your own two words will add to the thread's lowering of the tone then people should have a think first.

It's one thing being part of the sentence that builds up to a crescendo of smut (without knowing how far it'll go) but quite another IMO to be the one topping the sentence off with the words that make it make sense.

Ok that was hard to explain. I'll shut up now.

You explained it perfectly sir.

he did

It was me bundle.  I would absolutely love an "Ignore this thread" option.

OK, my last post on the subject.

Some people really need to get this into perspective!!!

There are many threads on here I have no interest in, and consequently dont read them - simple. Do I complain about them? No. Each to their own I say.

As for saying that this has no place on Blonde, well, the "Welcome Sarah" thread in my eyes is no different to the two word story thread - did people complain about this? No - I wonder why.

So, bottom line - IF YOU DONT LIKE A THREAD , DONT READ IT!!!!

Ok - end of my say

(Now, if someone was being talked about on there and didnt like it, then MAYBE, just MAYBE i could understand)

well i didnt post on that thread once, and have just realised, thanks to tank posting all the posts collectively, that i seemed to be mentioned on it a few times.

I think this is not right, and out of order, maybe im just getting paranoid here, but ever since the Blonde bash, poppet and myself have been talked about openly, mostly just a giggle and a laugh, but some people have to keep it up and never let up.

You have to remember that Poppet has a boyfriend and i too have a lovely girlffiend that reads this forum occasionally, i was even thinking about asking her to join up as Mrs Scottish Dave, however the way things are going id rather not at present, which is sad.

sorry if people think im over reacting, at first it was a good laugh, but people are getting nervous to posts now, for fear of it being turned around against them.

Man, do i know how the kill the conversation on this board!

You certainly do dave... its a scottish thing!

ok can i just add, when i posted my reply regarding me being offended about the thread talking about me, i replied to this having only read tanks full version.

However after going into the actual two word poker story and reading it bit by bit, i must take it back slighty, i found myself laughing my head off at most of it, including the bits regarding me, i now realise that it was all taken im great humour, and i can understand M3Boy saying that its only a laugh, it actually is lol

so im sorry i over reacted, in future ill make sure i see the full picture before posting my thoughts.

Cheers

Scottish Dave

your just jealous of my hair cut vidal!

ohhhhhhhh its soooo true... the shame!

Capn Antilles....

Good post! It's interesting, all of us who have posted on two words have at some point snuck in and posted something they KNOW will lead someone on to carry on their nefarious line of though,and have run out giggling to themselves. There is generally a line not to be crossed, however.

It is collcetive responsibiity you are very right, and as a whole this forum is exceptionally good at that, but at the end of the day no-one is forced to read anything, and if people wish to read things they know are going to outrage them, then that is their own look out!

As an example (a mild one) I never read any of the betting tips on greyhounds etc, I despise it as a sport, and think the way the animals are treated after their racing days are over is disgusting. Do I go in there and post my views? Nope - course not.. I just stay away from those threads.

Conversely there is a great collective respect for each other on this forum, and as Mr Baron so eloquently points out we need to keep that in mind. Once we lose respect for each other we descend into the mire of all the other forums we have left to come here.

Thanks Wedge. Shooting Wedge.

Not true, i did and i was backed up by quote a few people in private and 1 on the forum.

next time RF, contact a moderator straight away with your concerns rather than lettting us know after the event. ta
