[Closed] The Reverse Edinburgh Attack.

Graham, you seem alright so please don't take offence... but this is an obvious troll and according to the rules you should be banned.

See you in a few days.

Should I start the 'save the Midlands One' campaign.....

Rules is rules Hilldodger.

I am happy to declare that he is the second person on my file blocker
I suspect this thread and my comment will get him a semi tbh.
The link [not Graham].

MTQG or TSY?

what did Jamie say 😉
No I lovemygears he just says silly stuff and I have no real interest though I did post in a thread he started so it is not a vendetta or anything

I couldn't concur more.

*Waves at Junkyard*

Hey Yeti! One for you as a 'trainee' moderator...

Slap dem bitches down mofo...

with the recent how old are you thread in mind it staggers me that the yeti gives a toss. at your age young man you should be out playing kick the can and fiddling with girls or something. 😐

They can't ban me.
STW Forum without MidlandTrailquestsGraham would be like Kool and the Gang without Kool, KC and the Sunshine Band without KC, Blakes Seven without Blake, er, no, hang on, that worked quite well didn't it.

[i]They can't ban me.[/i]

yes, there has to be one person who does orienteering on here at all times and, for now, you're it.

Plus he fills the vegan quota.

Political correctness gone mad.

This isn't the 'Nam. There are rules.

waves back at DS - did you expect to be on my list?is upset 😥
I have no issue with disagreeing with people. I object* to people who cannot form cogent arguments or back up what they say so you are well above the radar DS.

* means I have no interest in debating with them as their arguments are poorly constructed and not really logical so there is no real way to defeat or negate what they say ...never argue with an idiot they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience so to speak.

Just checking, sweetiepie.

Arguments are like eggs... but I don't remember why that is.

I think that's swear filter avoidance.

Ahhh, okay... wait a minute... you're still here?! 😕

Well eggs are popular with people on the iDave diet. Is that it?

What is "The Edinburgh Defence"?

Oh, god.... Er, I mean, no hang on I didn't mean that exactly, what I meant was, um....

I think it's where a poster starts a stupid thread or makes a stupid comment, gets roundly pwned, and then sayd "I was only winding you all up anyway!"

It's name has been changed for legal reasons.

So how does this fileblocker thing work?

Filters out posts by people you don't like. There text will be replaced with something like: "TJ said something, then repeated it ad nauseam."

Sorry, I'm a bit out of touch having been, er, "away"...

Are we no longer agreeing with TJ, then? 🙁

Is there a 'block all' option?

I'll then start un-blocking people when they say interesting things.

I prefer the Reverse Dutch Steamboat.

TSY, slight flaw in your logic there no? How will you know when people start saying interesting things if they are all blocked?! In our convent we can have our own version of killfile...

File blocker - the Internet equivalent of holding your mummy's hand

Didn't I see you on the Joey Barton thread?

I can see Yossarian's point - it seems folk have to have the blocker thingy just cos certain posters invoke emotional responses they can't handle.

Thanks al, I couldn't have put it better.

It's not a personal dig junkyard. But frankly if you feel the need to censor other people then you're missing the point of a forum aren't you? What's the point? Really what's the point? I think if I ever reached the stage where I felt the need to do that I'd probably be better off deleting my account. Does it not seem a trifle juvenile to you? A bit immature? A bit, dare I say it, pompous? I'm sure this will provoke an angry, defensive response but honestly....

Yossarian.

I block 4 folk. 2 reasons - either they are consistently negative and unpleasant and have nothing worthwhile to say or they deliberately set out to irritate and annoy me.

I don't block folk like Hilldodger who does often have a go at me because he also makes positive and interesting contributions.

Some folk do seem a bit pompous with it.

"What you say is beneath me so I'm just going to ignore it."...

"I can't stop being wound up by you and this is the only way I can deal with it" more like...

if you censor other people it allows you to be belligerent, sanctimonious and stubborn without realising anyone disagrees with you.

Damn you and your cunning ways but it is clever insights like this that mean you will never be on the list even though you are obviously a ****

Why block anyone? Is your ego so fragile that you can't cope with a few hastily typed words on a screen? I'm surprised at you TJ, you strike me as a fairly balanced person. So what if someone has a pop, ignore them. Actually it's probably more powerful that way.

it seems folk have to have the blocker thingy just cos certain posters invoke emotional responses they can't handle.

Indeed. I involuntarily jizzgasm whenever I read one of Don Simon's posts. So he gets blocked. Clean up bills were getting ridonkulous.

djglover - I don't block folk just cos they disagree with me - I don't block hilldodger for exanmple.

Cynic al - I thought I would see your contribution to this. Usual waste of time. You justify yourself by attacking others as usual.

- You deliberately wind me up and have been doing it for years. You clearly don't realise despite your apology to me a while ago how much you do it and how unpleasant it is.

why should I expose myself to your frankly unpleasant online persona. You contribute nothing positive, you continually make snidey attacks on me and others usually because you do not undrstand what is going on. its easier to ignore when when I don't see your posts.

I don't know why you feel it necessary to behave like this online cos you are a decent bloke in the real world. I thought you had had an epiphany a while back when you apologised to me and from posts seemed to realise how you are viewed - but It was too good to hope for. Its back to the constant unpleasantness hence I blocked you.

I can't stop being wound up by you and this is the only way I can deal with it

Yup - its an easy way to avoid unpleasantness.

I have only spent a few moments typing this out in the hope that yo might see. Al - seriously - stop pretending you are the victim and its all others fault and stop behaving so obnoxiously all the time

Yosaaarian - its easier to ignore what you don't see.

Dammit!

Clean up in aisle 5......

A song that could almost have been written for STW.

TJ

I could be wrong, but I suspect Al's last post wasn't actually directed at you!

I could be wrong, but I suspect Al's last post wasn't actually directed at you!

Personally, I thought it was aimed at Junkyard.

I still don't get it junkyard. It's probably me not realising how different people react to conflict/perceived negativity on the internet.

Cynic al has made digs to and about me blocking him in the past and whether or not that was aimed at me its a classic example of why I prefer not to see his posts.

So the fact a comment he made at someone else, mirrored something he said to you in the past, means you take said attack as an affront to yourself?

Damn. Joey Barton didn't stand a chance, did he?

I didn't think it was aimed at you TJ but maybe I'm wrong.

Be interested to find out who put up the tag about junkyard, a bit unecessary.

Yossarian. Its quite possibly a flaw in my character but I do get wound up by what I read on here and find it hard to ignore. Not the reasoned heated disagreements but the deliberate snidey and sarcastic unpleasantness.

So its easier for me to not see these posts at all. you can tell from the context if its worth unblock to read them but its best for me not to see the posts from folk who I find more than irksome.

Junkyard put it well with his analogy about the boorish drunk

Jamie - I didn't see it particularly as an attack on me.

Cynic al - I thought I would see your contribution to this. Usual waste of time. You justify yourself by attacking [i]others[/i] as usual.

Fair enough, as I said my confusion over it is likely to be my lack of understanding of others maybe. At least you seem to be accepting that it's perhaps more about you than the people posting stuff? FWIW I dont get the drunk analogy at all.

Was it aimed at me - the al bit? I thought it was it aimed at people who block in general.
I can see why other folk would not use it , eve nthink it is weak or soft or whatever. One of the features is that it replaces their text to just one line so it is easier to scroll past it. I assume many peole skim other posters stuff surely?
Neither poster actually personally upset me or get to me in that sense. I just have no wish to engage with them or in the sense Al does [ deliberately and this reflects poorly on him IMHO] to TJ.

Just read the tag and it genuinely made me laugh- i rarely read them tbh as I just find them to be acts of cowardice as a general rule.

Don't really want an argument TJ but you missed a bit which puts it in context

Cynic al - I thought I would see your contribution to this. Usual waste of time. You justify yourself by attacking others as usual.

- You deliberately wind me up and have been doing it for years. You clearly don't realise despite your apology to me a while ago how much you do it and how unpleasant it is.

I'm confused - how do you know what Al posts if you have blocked him?

Cynic al - I thought I would see your contribution to this.

Arrggghhhhhhh

So why freakin block em if you're just going to peek at what they've just freakin said???????
😆
This is getting complicated

This thread is quite sad.

Woody - My intention was taht the first sentence is about the specific post, the second is about the general situation why I normally have his posts blocked hence separate paragraphs. Once again the meaning intended is not the meaning read.

With teh blocker you have a remove filter option which I did on this thread to read his contribution

I'm confused - how do you know what Al posts if you have blocked him?

:waves at TJ and sends hugs: 😀

Is being blocked by others worse or better than simply being ignored?

flattering surely...we should have a league table to see who is the most blocked

How about we get a league table of who's been blocked the most?

Is being blocked by others worse or better than simply being ignored?

Doesn't bother me in the slightest either way.

Gnnuurggghh!

*reaches for tissue*

Much as junkyard says, blocking is useful if you want to cut out a lot of irrelevant images and so on.
