Might I suggest that Sir is also a/an [insert expletive] and I think Sir should go [insert expletive] himself with a large [insert root vegetable];)! I presume it was pulled because you've trotted out the familiar ad hominem attack (as in making...

I believe that sensible debate is being spoiled on LoST Was there ever sensible debate on LoST? IMV LoST serves a useful purpose in keeping the brats occupied and out of the way. There are plenty of other boards on the Fool where sensible debate can take place while we leave the LoST souls to themselves.

As usual, your response is not to continue the debate (having asked for views) but to just put down other posters. Anyway: I'd really love to know what your motivation is for the sterling work you put in on this forum in defence of the New Labour project. Surely you must have some stake in it over and above it being the party you vote for. Ed Balls, is that you? I think this is an attempt to show that the OP has a vested interest in the...

I believe that sensible debate is being spoiled on LoST due to provocative posts that often have little to do with the initial topic. They are designed to simply provoke a reaction and create an arguement in an attempt the stop discussion of serious matters, especially those which are critical of the current govt. There seems to be a theme that there is a deliberate attempt to quash criticism of out current regime in any way possible....

The infamous POSGO has been in existence for just over 3 years now. Has anything actually changed on that board since it's inception ? Yes. There's far less racism and far less name calling than there was.

Hi AwoodbMaven, TMF lemme be a TMF moderator for just one day, please, please, pretty please! Actually, we're thinking of introducing a practical test for potential new TMF moderators - the candidate would have to go a week without breaking any rules and having any posts removed ;-) Cheers, Alan TMFBoing

Conmurf, Thank you for your reply. I did see AWBMaven's grossly insensitive post and I can well understand why you reported it as it hit a new low in ad hominem remarks. I did not want to discuss our circumstances here and I cannot imagine why awb would seek to bring the matter to the notice of posters on this board. I am sure he regrets what he said.
