Thatcher dead?

[RED-DOG]

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.

Morning Mr M. How's yer belly for spots?

This may seem a like a small point, but to me it's an important one.

I don't call you "The members" so please don't call me "The mods".

The great irony is the anti-Thatcher strategy is based on ignoring lots of positives, homing in on the few negatives, and then getting personal. You can see itt the likes of double-up and fatman have ignored all my positive content, homed in on a few debateable negatives, and got personal.

doubleup, as a Thatcher fan, and on the day she died I read this kind of thing on the forum as well as lots of insulting offensive remarks that were deleted.

When I realised Margaret Thatcher was dead, I did a double fist pump and shouted, "Fucking brilliant!"

Yet I did not quote and personally flame any member of the forum, I did not have any posts deleted. But the mods have branded me the troll while gathering together today to tell me to give people some slack. Like I said before, the anti-Thatcher brigade seem to think they have a monopoly on offence.

doubleup I ask you again where do I quote individual members comments and get personal with them? Let alone quoting little parts of their posts to suit my need to be negative.

Btw this is one of the quotes double-up says is clearly aggressive and insulting.

Thatcher was a Goliath when it came to the Falklands war and the British response was completely justified. The pride in our armed forces all around the country and respect gained around the world was immense.

And I am the drama queen.

Oh dear     .....      selective quote syndrome?

When I realised Margaret Thatcher was dead, I did a double fist pump and shouted, "Fucking brilliant!"

Everyone around me was disgusted, and looking back, I suppose it was out of order.

Especially as I was the first paramedic at the scene.

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.

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.

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.

As opposed to high life tossers who's greed and me me me attitude leave them incapable of sympathy for those not as lucky/fortunate as them?

I'm glad she's dead - I do regret the death of an 87 year old lady though - it should have been when she was a lot younger. I've as much remorse over that as she had for her victims.

Yea sorry dude, that was just a Mantic.

I'm ashamed to say that I don't quite have the historical knowledge to join in this thread.

Can someone give me the main points of why people think she is a hero/devil.

From the good old internet so far I have;

Privatised mines because they were losing £3bn
Charging for school milk
Falklands war
Poll tax riots

None of which seem awful or amazing.

Anyone care to give some factual explanations, rather than hate/love filled opinions of why these effected people so much more than other government policies?

You've shown a lot of class there rod.

Oh yeah, it's not offensive anymore. Anyway I was just copying doubleups strategy.

[Rod Paradise]

Sorry but how is any of that quoting and flaming an individual blonde member?

Sorry I actually meant to quote

I don’t know how calling me a troll after all the positive content I’ve submitted is doing your best.

You don't have to quote or flame individuals to cause them offence.  Your language in these quotes is clearly aggressive and insulting.  You got a reaction and you now seem like a drama queen.

Textbook Mantis - repeated smug arrogance and provocative posts - pick someone who bites and play the victim - if you can get a sneaky wee pop at the Mods it's a bonus.... and repeat.

Sick jokes the 'British Way' of bringing the pompous back to terra firma!

[TightEnd]

Not sure where everyone wants this thread to go,lbut it really is a no win

Opinions are so divided, passions run so high...and always will do

As many people will be offended by "I'm glad she's dead - I do regret the death of an 87 year old lady though - it should have been when she was a lot younger." as support it

A mod deletes it, and it probably is deleteable by the standards of what we've taken off, and hours of consequences follow in PM etc

You tell me guys, the debate is going down those lines is it?

How you think you can take the moral high ground and talk about my provocative posts is a joke really

Forget all this nonsense and frippery over the way they are acting. The real issue - the biggest problem I have with "The Mods" (yes that's right; I went there) - is that, despite all of the evidence over 21 pages of discussion, debate and postulation, despite untold paragraphs of argument, angst and grumpiness, and despite what I can only assume to be countless Mod Hours spent digesting every minute detail of the words written on these pages...

...the thread title still has a question mark.

Surely we can conclude Baroness Thatcher is dead now?
