When this story breaks I would imagine it will be front page news, even in Australia. Don't worry, even though I'm only the messenger I'll make sure you get a heads up. Remember...a dish served cold is the sweetest form of revenge.
Well I’ve heard you can do what you want as long as you buy them a beer they ask me every time I come on here
If you want the truth, I’m not really a Tory. But the rest is true, according to those who know me best.
He could be one or the other but not both at the same time, unless of course he is in transition but even then ...... that's not something that I would care to think about.
Believe the term is Intersex if you have both. Transitioning is what we're all doing...apparently we're so unused to winning that most forum members have lost the abilty to post but will regain it once we've reached the promised land.
I yield to your superior knowledge but I still don't want to think about it. Transitioning, is that what it is called, I thought it was just being bored. What you describe though makes sense if they are in a state of flux between conscious domains. How long do you think this transitory condition will last?
My best guess is to refer you to the inmates featured during the movie ' Midnight Express '... in other words their recovery is neither imminent nor expected.
Genuine question - Can you always tell the difference between “Banter” “Fishing” and personal attacks? I can’t so I might be guilty of allowing some comments to pass over my head (assuming it was banter or fishing).
That's fair comment as it's only when it's personal to you that the nuance is obvious. How about when someone is in hospital on powerful medication because their last failing kidney is making them extremely unwell...are you able to judge that with any greater clarity ?
The written word can be used to express feeling and emotions with clarity but it requires more skill than I posses and as the majority of normal communication is via body language it isn't always clear what is intended and mistakes can be made. If as part of an on-going thread posters strike up a conversation then it is more clear when jokes are being made and banter entered into. If however when one posts and you are sworn at and insulted at every opportunity it becomes difficult to take this as banter even though that is perhaps how it was intended. There are a few on here who use profanities as amusing banter. In real life I don't and I tend not to on here, it's my choice but possibly as a result I take the use of bad language more seriously than it is intended. Having said that sometimes you know or at least you think you know, which is just as bad, when somebody has it in for you. There is no clear line between the three forms you list above, but I would suggest it is not what was intended but how it is received that should be the guide.
I know you lay the blame for Glory being banned solely at my door, I could drag up everything that has already been said and you’d still 100% blame me. I resigned myself to that fact long ago and I’m not going to bother trying to change your opinion. I’m also not going back over that old ground, it’s been done and done again. I’d like to point out though, Glory remaining banned or being unbanned isn’t down to me, if the others wanted him back my opinion wouldn’t count. We’re all on the same page, if one of the other decision makers turns over the page I’d listen to their thoughts and opinions but as that’s not the case there isn’t anything to debate. You’re also fighting a corner that I don’t think he wants fighting, he probably hates me, he too thinks it’s all down to me but he has told Ellandback he has moved on and wouldn’t come back even if unbanned. I have nothing against Glory, his persona on here was disruptive (in my opinion) I know others felt the same but it’s not for me to speak for them. When Leeds60 received a ban he was very poorly (by all accounts) yet Glory thought that was no excuse for his actions. I agreed, I felt it was no excuse and I’d have to reluctantly stick by those thoughts. I say reluctantly as I can only imagine what I’d do if in the same boat. I’d like to believe if I was that ill the forum wouldn’t be a prime concern, I’d not want to post in an offending or argumentative manner, I’d want zero stress and I’d probably not be on here much but I have to accept we’re all different in how we handle things.
I admit I have had many extreme doubts that you’re not an alt account or that maybe you don’t really live in Australia, something just doesn’t add up at times but it’s only my curiosity, me trying to put my finger on it. If I’m 100% wrong then I question myself but either way, it matters not, if you really live in London and not Australia or you’re Millwall in disguise it would be kind of funny. I’m not out to get you, I’m just trying to cure my curiosity of why it doesn’t all add up and again it would be funny if I’m 100% wrong. Recently I’ve noticed you’re more sensitive to some of the stuff being posted, I don’t mean that in a nasty way, I can see some things have bothered you and that’s threw me a right curve ball. Anyway, it’s past my bed time, I assure you I’m not one who has it “in for you” and I’ll keep your last line in mind, I agree it should be about how it is perceived and I’m guilty on that account.
Maybe I'll take a photo of the field at the back of the house for you with my iPhone so you can see the sunshine, time and the GPS reference. The reason I move about, apparently is that my internet comes via a satellite and obviously uses earth relay stations. Most of the time when I use Google along the bottom when it asks me to confirm where I am it seems to think I'm in Sydney, occasionally in Queensland where I actually am and yesterday it wanted me to confirm I was in Perth, again where I am not. So if you are using some computer system to track my location then I'm not surprised I appear to move about but really I don't. I live in Queensland and make no attempt to hide, conceal or lie about my location.
I’m not using anything to track and no need to explain, like I said it was just my curiosity and it’s not an issue. Only brb has access to the toys on here, we can only edit and delete posts.
