Thatcher dead?

[bobby1]

18 pages on someones death....really?

I find this quite sad

It's about half a page on her death.

The reason for that tho Silo is  the people that were posting things like 'ding dong the witch is dead' on their Facebook pages that post on here didn't  do it on this thread. I can think of one person who is just chastising people on the thread whose only personal comment on this thread or Facebook is 'Ding dong'

No fatman I don't recognise why your posts in this thread have been necessary. Every one has been negative or disrespectful, you have offered nothing to the discussion, and you have singled me out. In fact I'm quite surprised moderators are allowed to behave like this.

You'll have to accept that you will get a bit of hate when you do this

The difference is despite all the long-winded stuff I didn't quote and flame individual members. Even when, as a Thatcher fan, I read insults about her on the day of her death.

The blondepoker forum - where you have to accept hate from the mods. Fair enough.

Looking at the photos in the newspapers of all the celebrations and parties held over Maggies death, it does appear that the vast majority of them are pretty young who weren't even born when Maggie was around.

Looks more like jumping on the bandwagon socialist loonies, the same ones that smashed their way around London when the school fees demos were happening. The rent a mob, classy members of our society.

On top of that throw in a few old miners who are still pissed off 30 years later.

This is NOT the case, and is taking 2 + 3 and drawing a conclusion that most certainly is NOT 5.

Mods are people too, and passions and feelings run deep on this issue. I expect you won't let it drop, as its not your style Mantis, but would be great if you could...

Personally I had no issues reading your posts on this thread, but then again we come from similar ends of the spectrum

bit different for some people, I would imagine..lots of black and white on Thatcher and not many shades of grey... . Thats the issue at hand though, not a general problem with modding on the site, in my opinion

Allowances on all sides for a very tough topic please

Most of those don't know what socialism means or what it is, its just a label used by you and the mail to brand people who just need an excuse to kickoff. It's not even worth mentioning, what 300 people in the country made a twat of themselves? I bet the press were camped out waiting for them.

The true young adult socialists are at the Education conference in Sheff :~)

How did your post completely change without being edited craig?


I wonder what is happening with the modding on this forum. I see smashedagain being chastised by mods left, right and centre for next to nothing and getting banned. In the recent mega sat cheating thread mods are very anxious to defend and protect the integrity of a 27 post member. But here mods can seemingly do as they please, attack my integrity, brand me a troll and generally be insulting and that is deemed ok. It seems mods can choose to pick on individual members and flame them unchallenged. I don't see how that is fair and neutral moderation.

Members can Edit Posts WITHOUT showing the Edit trace if they do so within, I think, 2 minutes of the original Post. So Craig must have Edited it almost as soon as he Posted.

I think you should be a bit more understanding to the position of the Mods, in this thread & cut some slack, - it IS a very emotive topic to many, & we are doing our best, in very difficult circumstances, to be as fair as we are able to everyone on one of the hottest threads we have seen for some time. We are certainly trying to be more understanding in this particular case.

For the record, I don't do hate for you or anyone else here, & you know that, but you must think as you will.

Ok I'll just label them low life tossers them for celebrating the death of a 87 year old lady. We both know what side of the political spectrum they are on though.

Glad the guardian saw fit enough to print it though.

No, it’s not my style to drop being personally flamed Tightend.

My conclusion is I have been personally flamed by a moderator and that is accepted on this forum. You are free to tell me how that is the wrong conclusion.

Her death is a very emotive subject to me Tikay, but I cut people some slack and didn’t flame anybody for their views. I don’t know how calling me a troll after all the positive content I’ve submitted is doing your best.

It is very emotive to me, too, & to others. You don't know my feelings on the matter, because I've kept off the thread, but it is every bit as emotive to me as it is to you. I just don't, personally, see the point in getting involved in a debate nobody can win, because all the views are entrenched.

I can honestly say the Mods, collectively, have found this thread all very awkward, & have done their best. You are not alone in thinking the Mods are not good, many say the same thing, so be it, but you've never worn those shoes.

It's like a Shakespearean play.


Just seen some miners on the TV standing outside a ramshackle pit shaking their heads and saying they're glad Thatcher is dead. It's like somebody still moaning about a bad beat 30 years after it happened. There's a whole big world out there fellas, prob time to crack on and look for a different career now.
