Cringing hell lads

I agree CK.

My reason for being so touchy is that my best mates daughter killed herself over internet comments about her appearance.

I hate internet trolls and really don't understand why people feel the need to be so nasty.
Sorry for the other posters having to read this nonsense.

I didn't read the post in question but I'd have mentioned that at the outset if you didn't. We all have things that can set us off and it saddens me to hear about this.

A year ago, one girl who I used to teach piano to in school gave a presentation for her English GCSE about the pressures on young women to look good all of the time, from her viewpoint that it shouldn't matter. She got booed by a couple of brain dead morons in her class but ended up having detention for calling them stupid f@ckers.

Re: FAO Mike or the one of the mods

I notice a thread I commented on earlier about a woman should be shot because of the way she looks has been deleted.

The reply from the poster was something along the lines of ''she should be shot along with people who support Swansea''.

I understand why it's been deleted, but why not ban the poster who posted such vitriol?

I hope this board doesn't go the way of the other board - ie - If it doesn't confirm with the owners views or beliefs it gets the cold shoulder.

Not wishing to get into an argument with you Mike, but this stinks.

I try to let posters sort things out. I don't have views or beliefs that cause me to 'cold shoulder' threads. I don't see any connection with how I run this board to how other boards are run. Threads are open for you to post. They are not moderated before publication. So I have to be reactive, and then only if I see posts or am alerted to them.

I could see Sludge's unfunny posts caused upset so I removed the earlier thread. The reaction in this thread, to me, shows he's not read the room very well. What sounds funny to some when they think about it looks terrible when written down. This might be the case here.

My posts were my usual Alan Partridge esque type stuff , not to everyone's taste but beauty is in the eye of the beholder as is what's funny

Saying all jacks must be shot and Amanda Holden should be got rid of is clearly a piss take

And the band played on
