Kiwi, or anyone else, you may only post your own political comment on this thread from now on ... any copying and pasting will be removed/deleted when I get a chance to do it. ( I hope Beth and Tramore are on board ) I'm at at a loss to see what you're trying to achieve by doing this.

Anyone who disagrees with this stance other than Kiwi please let me know.

In future any comments on this thread must be personal. You can post a comment but any external material must be provided by a link only.

( I think that sums it up ) Nines.
I think you’ll find copy and pasting on most other threads so banning it on here seems a strange, pointless and perhaps a personal thing to do, personal because kiwi isn’t the only one to copy and paste here or any where else.

I think it's the mindless nature and sheer volume (and size) of Kiwi's posts that gets to me. If he wants to draw attention to, or promote discussion of, a certain article, he should post a link to it and give his opinions on it, I would say.

Point taken but I reckon we all think some posters on here post long and mindless posts, probably true on all forums. As a reader you have the choice to read what you wish and ignore what you wish.
What Kiwi posts often gives a different viewpoint here to the opinions of our posters.
Personally I rarely read any long post, simply scroll over and move on, I find it easy to do.
 
Nothing mindless about it
We all have the ability to scroll over stuff that we don’t want to read.

Just like you’ve just done with this post.

I unluckily get to work up to 18 hours a day with an awful lot of downtime
I spend a lot of that free time on here while you lot are in bed with nothing better to do than reading your posts
I can't be bothered clicking on links which might take me nowhere(have you tried the express site)
So I might post a few things that I find informative or amusing
Read or dont
Freedom of choice
Free the kiwi1

As expected...the rabid, controlling fascist inside you jumps out.
First they came for the Kiwis.......

Shame on you Stroller, you Nazi !!
















:)
 
Don't have any problems with Kiwis long posts - generally read the first paragraph, and then decide whether to read it all if it's informative. Same with any other poster who copy/pastes stuff (and there's a lot of them....). YouTube videos - are they banned? Pictures - part of the censorship protocol? Graphs and pie-charts? Twitter posts?

I tend to only click links if the subject heading grabs me. There's some informative stuff on this thread, and some dross. A simple scroll get's past the dross......
 
Prove your accusations of my racism or withdraw them

It would probably make you happy to think of me having to wade through oceans of your ****e to try to find a post that had been taken down, wouldn't it? It was removed because it was racist, and you know it.

To be charitable to you, you may not be racist yourself. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume that you just copy and paste pretty much anything you find in your nasty world of right-wing propaganda. I cautioned you at the time that you really should stop and think about what you are mindlessly copying.
 
Strolls thinks because he started this thread, he can censor those who's views he dislikes and caution any posters that upset him

There are forum rules that have to be abided by. I merely cautioned Kiwi that he should stop and think about what he was posting. The post in question was subsequently removed. Not due to any complaint from me, I hasten to add. I have never made any complaint to the mods. If I object to anything, I will take it up with the poster.
