Fun fact: when I was moderator on another message board I banned someone for implying that another poster was a paedophile.

Oh FFS.

Ban me then.

I'm not gonna ban you, because a) it's not against the rules of this board and b) in the other example the person saying that had malicious intentions. I think you just sometimes post without considering the implications of what you're saying.

No shit Sherlock.

^ I like it but have no idea what the * it means. ^

Re: The whole Paedophilia / Implications post.

I mean wow. Just wow. Took a few minutes to take in cause I've just done my usual and posted without thinking.
You know, like the class clown. The smart arse.
The one with the quick quip to make some of the kids laugh and get some little kick from it.

But my grooming post was meant. I did mean to set you up. I knew how you'd react and then I would reply with the tending to the hair line. Implications never came into it at any point as any rational person would realise that I person posting (me) was doing so in jest.

Not accusing someone of * Paedophilia.

With that I bid you adieu for the day.
Can't be * with any of this nonsense today.

I know you weren't. I'd still rather you just didn't say it! I don't think that's an unreasonable request at all.

[Yudster]

None of this is making me smile or laugh today.

[chrysostom]

I tried to find some Squash related humour to alleviate this, it's just not out there.

[Nicola_Red]

I know. I was happy I had someone nice to talk to, and before I knew it had become an argument about paedophilia...

I don't like Badger bashing. He made a clear and obvious joke which is in keeping with his style of humour. It's not something that should have turned into a big deal.

[Nicola_Red]

Saying "but it's just a joke" isn't enough to justify saying anything you like. I wasn't happy with him saying that and I politely said so. He's the one that's stropped off in a sulk.

It is, you just need to know where to look! Thanks for the thought though, much appreciated.

I know what you mean, but you do seem to have a requirement that everyone's "humour" has to fall in line with your requirements, or you'll start posting lectures. I get why, and I agree with your views on this, but we all know Badger is a bit sick in the head, and also that he doesn't mean it. It wouldn't kill you to let it go every now and then.

I am including the following to indicate that this is not intended as a dig or a snarky comment -

[Nicola_Red]

I don't think I posted a lecture. I just said I'd rather not be called that, even in jest.

ETA: admittedly I also mentioned that I'd banned someone on another board, but I didn't mean that I was thinking of banning Badger. I forgot about that. Very busy today.

[dimtimjim]

And this argument will never, ever be sorted. Its all about points of view, and we as a collective all have differeing ones. What offends Badger, doesn't offend Nic, but also vice versa.

This is the interenet and this is a public forum, by a matter of averages sometimes content from here will offend. Its how we manage this that counts. Yes, I'll agree maybe a slightly unnecessarry strop-off (I'd read no offence into Nic's response), but as Deadly has pointed out, t'was well within the remit of what we know, and love, about our Badger.

[Nicola_Red]

You're right, Tim. Hooray!

[The Deadly]

Can't we move on to casual racism?

What time did the Chinaman go to the dentist?

That's my subject to get overly sensitive about and start posting lectures about.

It's been a while, old friend. It's been a while.

Also Yuds - I did some reading, and it turns out that Celebrations (and Mars) made their decision to abolish the Galaxy Truffle based on 'consumer feedback', so a social media campaign might be enough to push them into including them again

Ah well Never mind, it was Dave who was getting all righteously indignant about it really, not so much me!

[chrysostom]

Anyone who chose the Twix over Galaxy Truffle is an idiot.

It's all a cost cutting coverup I tells ya!
