I think what's odd about not being able to write a title or use ellipsis

[Tefal]

Especially when that authority has just been accused of being trigger happy, although the thread is still open and the comment still there with the originator of the comment unsuspended.

Hmmm.

you've gone soft old man

What I find damned odd is that 'Moderators' arbitrarily close threads where their views differ from that of the OP and then keep posting to them.

From the closed threads I've seen it the mods usually seem to wait until the discussion has reached an almost childish level of pure insult trading with little depth discussion at all.

They still do Sweet FA about the incessant pointless, irrelevant and abusive posts by the usual suspects.

incessant, pointless and irrelevant posts really are subjective. You may find it pointless or irrelevant but others may not so, as you've stated later in this thread, you can simply ignore them and move on. As for abusive posts, that's another matter entirely, but again it depends what you mean by abusive?

I've read the title several times and I still don't know what it's supposed to mean.

The Tories fault no doubt.

Yay it's not locked yet...


I blame the Lib Dems for their constant caving in. Thought they'd be the tories back bone..

Dons are moderators and control individual forums. They have the power to edit, delete, or move any posts in their forums.

Probably wisest not to pursue this particular line of thought too far.

Oh, right. So it was changed into something that makes no sense rather than written by you and making no sense? Even though I find almost all of the posts you make infuriating, pointless and/or an exercise in political showboating, I don't see the point in someone changing your thread title.

Where's the love guys?

Why do people want to get other people banned? Can't you just ignore posts or threads which you find annoying? I always feel sad when members call for bans and suspensions.

 

[LOAM]

Damn you Thatcher, Damn you!

 

[Xordium]

You want freedom for the masses

The masses can't handle freedom,

Always suspected you were a communist despite all the Polly Toynbee love.

Can we exchange Stockhausen for DM please.

I miss DM.

What happened to DM? That's Drunkenmaster right?

 

[Tefal]

What happened to DM? That's Drunkenmaster right?

No it's someone with the name DM

 

[semi-pro waster]

Prodding a slumbering Gilly, you're either brave or foolish and I can't decide which.

What happened to DM? That's Drunkenmaster right?

drunkenmaster is still posting away. DM is a specific poster, previously Diamond Mark.

I miss DM.

Seriously?

 

[peterattheboro]

I'd rather trade Zzzztockhausen for Janesy B.

 

[aftershxck]

What happened to DM Is there a juicy thread I overlooked?

 

[flibbage0]

Seriously?

Well sort of yes.

He did step out of line a few times but he was also entertaining.

Would rather have him back then stockhausen.

Someone said a few things, he said a few things, took it too far and got permabanned.

......just have a look at the state of Dentistry in this country to see what the Tories have in mind for you.

Actually I would like to see the NHS to be in the same state as my Dentist.

Appointments at my convenience, treatment immediately, no waiting times, clean comfy surroundings, rather good looking assistants and emergency treatment within an hour.

In Britain today, you can stuff yourself on deep-fried Mars Bars, drink 20 pints a night, inject yourself with heroin, smoke 60 cigarettes a day or decide to change your sex - and the NHS has an obligation to treat you. You might go on a waiting list, but it will do its best to cure your lung cancer, patch up your nose after a drunken brawl or give you a hip replacement. It doesn't charge for operations or beds; it may even throw in some half-edible food.

But if you have bad teeth, forget it. You may be rolling on the bathroom floor in agony with an abscess, your gums may be riddled with disease, or people may recoil at the sight of your fangs as you walk down the street, but the NHS doesn't have to help you.

It is now virtually impossible for many people to find an NHS dentist, and if they do manage to squeeze on to a list, they could still be charged 80 per cent of the cost of treatment - unless they are a child, pregnant or on benefits.

The health service under both the Tories and Labour has victimised the dentally challenged - that is, anyone who hasn't inherited strong teeth and a perfect picket fence smile. Few can easily afford to go to any dentist now. My husband went to a private dentist after a 15-year gap, and was left reeling after they extracted £2,000 for 12 fillings. My three-year-old son received a bill for £90 after I stupidly asked my private dentist whether she could have a quick look at his teeth. (The Torygraph)

But yes, based on most of your posts, I can quite see why you, and Dolph come to that, would see Dentistry as the perfect model for the NHS to follow.
