And Fran has done a bunk, as usual. :)

I looked and I can't find it either.

Can I just ask posters not to refer to news items without bringing in a link..? It's pretty basic stuff, and it's actually annoying for me personally when I go to the trouble of writing out the method.

Please learn how to do it. It's as easy as copy and paste.

I wish :( Some were pretending that the "adult" internet filter that's coming in is North Korea level of censorship, I pointed out for the benefit of foreign people that took the hyperbole seriously that it isn't really that big a deal but everyone's having fun pretending that it is, and in reply got:

"Really? REALLY?

****ing ******ed ignorant ****.

That or a government PR whore. Better be 2nd option, because then you at least get paid for being an utter dumb ****. Otherwise you're just an amateur ****."

Feels like I've made a friend :D

I've been doing the same thing. People keep insisting that we're being censored by the government and that it's an opt-out filter, and I keep correcting them that it had nothing to do with the government, ISPs took it upon themselves to do it, and it's also opt-in. No matter how many times I say this, people keep telling me it's both government censorship and a waste of tax money. Idiots.

Though most of my posts get healthily downvoted and abused, I did post one rather long-winded comment that got over 300 upvotes and some gold. Hopefully I've changed a few minds.

I am a chicken as I post comments, but never read replies. A shame as they may be worth reading, but I had a few objectionable replies which made little sense as I wasn't being contentious (I thought).

I either argue with them calmy, take the piss out of them or insult them back, depending on my mood. These aren't the kinds of people who would scare you in person.

Quite typical Reddit to deliberately misunderstand something in order to get outraged about something or ridicule it. Mine was quite far down a thread, think my original post is on four upvotes five downvotes or something. Few replies, I couldn't be arsed replying to most but apologised to the guy I'd seemingly deeply offended. Anyway, how's Gold treating you ?

Nothing is the end of the world except the end of the world, FLT

But it's so bloody easy to do..! If people are that keen to tell others what they just read, why not just copy the link and then they can go and read for themselves. Crikey, it's the obvious thing to do and it is just so sodding easy. If it was rocket science, I'd understand, but it's one or two extra clicks of the mouse.

It's okay. Gives you a few little extra features. Best thing is everyone immediately assumes your comment is really wise once it has that little gold thing next to it.
