Go on ...

She looks very serious so might be fun winding her up. No?

The hell I won't.

*random John Wayne quote*

No, I don't know why either.

I dont get Cletus and Boss hog and moonshine thing?

New mods and their toys 🙄

Pretty women on tv: das ist verboten

Pretty women selling things...

Stoner, just a random image

I've already been involved in one closed thread. Don't want to initiate another but it was 18 years ago. She was fresh out of uni and yes she took herself very seriously.

it was that pic of Lucy Worsley all dressed up in a nice scarf looking intimidatingly intelligent and knowledgable about stuff that did it.

Named after a North American mammal?*

*Not me.**

**I'm not a sheriff

or a newly appointed* mod.

*potentially over-zealous

But I do have a [P] next to my name. 8)

I see ...

Anyway, I noticed that she tried the "aggressive" Snow questioning tactics a few times that nearly ended up with her back paddling ... 😆

I have no useful contribution to make 😆

yup. This one's going bye bye! Mods back from the pub. see you on the other side.

Are we surprised any of those threads ended up locked...? Perhaps not!

It would be a challenge to get the most threads on the most innocuous subjects locked! 😉

5th..

she took herself very seriously.

Take a look on you tube for her 'Gangnam style' clip and cringe 🙂

as for blaming the new mod i know for a fact* it was not him

* by fact i mean i am making things up on the internet with no real evidence just like everyone else

Its obvious why at least two of them got closed and no idea on the third and I cannot be bothered looking for it

Wonder if this'll do it ? LOL

\o/

I have a rusty sheriff's badge.

Can i be a mod too?

I get offended for no reason.

Wasn't me, I've been out all night. I know na-thing.

lol I can imagine some semi-pissed sleep deprived mod hovering over keyboard munching doritos now going "I have ultimate power! Mwuhhahaha, must.. wait... for .. bad titts.. tits arreee baaaad..." I'd be more bothered about some of the outrageous opinions posted on here everyday rather than a bit of .. ooh, she's nice.

Poor mods balancing all these diverse views - unlike you on the religious one though i refrained from going on it [ or even opening it] to tell folk they were sad though

Its like we have different views or something and someone else entirely makes the rules and they have yet another view

HTH

We agree about nothing on here so we are hardly like to agree with mod decisions.

It all seems a bit pathetic really.

Fits in well here I guess.

I'm failing to understand why the TV one was locked, nothing inappropriate there at all, just a bunch of good looking people. The others, on the other hand...

I refer you to the answer i gave some moments ago

hello, I don't recall saying anyone was sad JY. are you bored and looking for a rise? I just wonder why you argumentative types keep plodding the same differences day after day. I think you have a love of arguing! 😀 it seems so. And perhaps there is stuff to be gained from that. TBH I'm not that educated re religion, politics or economics,so it is very interesting , but i don't get the bitchyness..

I think you have a love of arguing

You've only just realised?

no. but why? when the answers and opinions are always the same. It must be some form of masochistic madness! Surely the great thing about stw is that we can take each others opinions and ideas about life on board, have a think and maybe change? I know stw has changed me for the better. it's not just banging your opinion on a door and no one is home? I dunno, I've had too much beer 😀

JY has a superiority complex and this place is a safe haven for him to flex his debating muscles. He knows STW is frequented by right winger middle class sorts so he can really go to town.

I don't frequent this place enough to make an impression, and to me, that is a good thing! It's just a bit of fun. Can't imagine hanging about on everybodies word on here. but sometimes real human emotions come through and I cannot help but respond to those. This forum is amazing though imo. And despite financial interests, the mods need to chill out or lose what makes this forum special.

This threads a classic....laughing hard....its like something out of python

So much so that its even better than reddit. Keep it up.

you love it Bwaarp lol. You got a special button for Quoting people JY! 😀

As long as its all in good fun, I felt really bad about geetee earlier. I don't enjoy being involved in things that actually hurt people.

oh I missed that.

And the other day you said you didn't give a toss. Based on the evidence I've seen I've concluded your not taking this role seriously. You've forced me into a decision. Cougar,

[img] [/img]

STW has changed me. Before I used to be attracted to women. Now I know this is wrong and am attracted to nothing as this is wrong. WRONG.

Awww, did I miss all the fun? 🙂

Erm, if you haven't opened the thread, how do you know who was posting what on it?

You dint miss owt, they were crap and were lucky to get off the first page.

Meant in the humblest, crumbliest way of course.

I think it takes a strange sort of person to open a thread to simply say they have no interest in the thread and everyone on is sad/stupid an idiot etc.

I'm not reading all the above from a load of sad idiots. In fact this whole thread is pointless.

I have to say, I have no interest in this thread. However I'm trying to cultivate a more compassionate way of thinking, so I'm out on the 'everyone is sad/stupid and idiot etc' bit... 😉

Just a couple of points on the various cheery accusations flying about:

1) It's not easy striking a balance between letting a conversation flow and stopping it from getting out of hand. The forum rules have a specific clause about the 'friday Kylie' type threads, posts of a sexual nature and things which are likely be construed as offensive. As far as I'm aware though, there aren't any rules against having outrageous opinions, which is probably just as well.

We try to be consistent and fair, and discussions take place behind the scenes when we're unsure about something. Ultimately though, the place is supposed to be accessible and welcoming to everyone, and when every third thread is a page full of cleavage or debates about Catholics being rapists it gives the forum a certain 'flavour' which isn't necessarily a desirable image. I like boobage and theological debates as much as the next red-blooded atheist, but everything in, er, moderation hey?

2) There are fewer mods than you think, and more complaints / requests / questions / petulant pissing than you think. The volunteers are putting in a huge amount of work to try and improve this little community. As should be apparent from my posting history I'm not adverse to a bit of teasing (and I totally expect some for this post), but please give a little thought to your posts before you start throwing round accusations of things like racism and hypocrisy.

TL;DR: play nice.

Bwaarp it's OK, my feelings are mended this morning.

To be fair to JY and JB (there might have been some confusion over who was posting what as they both were and their names are easily confused) I didn't disagree with everything he was saying and I did empathise with where he was coming from.

JY - can I just apologise for calling you a moron. Wasn't the right thing to do.

My Catholic background is hard to shake off sometimes and despite the shit I had to go through as a result of it, many people I know and care for are still in the 'church'. So even now as an atheist, it's pretty hard to let go.

JY can we both agree that the leadership of the catholic church is guilty as all hell if we can also agree that the statement 'rapists do well in the catholic church' was perhaps ill advised.

And if not, just say and we'll say no more about it.

Errm, I shot the Sheriff but I did not shoot the Deputy.....

That's all.

" I like boobage and theological debates "

Oh ... does that mean I can post a pic of... "The Fallen Madonna with zee big boobies"

Maybe I need to revise "hobbies and interests" on my CV.

I did not even notice it was me you were calling a moron so you may have a point 😳
Shakes hands
Moves on.

Improve it, according to who.

The forum is its members. If the rules are broken then fair enough but the thread about who you have a fancy for and shouldnt didnt not break any rules. If a pic appears then its not difficult to remove the pic.

If its a community then it has to run as one, start down the road of stopping threads that shouldnt and it will come to an end sooner than you realise.

I think it was Joolsburger who made the comments and who I called the moron so JB - apologies and ditto to the above.

We try to be consistent and fair

I'm afraid you fail miserably on this one. It's ok, it's been explained why before. But, trying to pretend the modding is fair and consistent is taking the michael.

If you are going to be a mod cougar, don't be all nice n diplomatic about it. Just draw a line in the sand re stw rules and stickk by it. Good luck 😉

Who are, or what is, TL and DR (from cougars post)?

3 of the threads I've commented on have ended up being locked. This has happened after certain individuals became abusive, instead of accepting that someone else might have a differing opinion to theirs. Lively debate is one thing; abuse is just childish and stupid. If you've nothing more intelligent or constructive to say than calling someone a 'bell-end' etc simply for having a different opinion, then you invalidate yourself as a person capable of rational and sensible debate. And you mark yourself out as a bit inadequate really. People resort to abuse when they've got nothing left.

Can we ban the future use of the phrase 'I have no useful contribution to make'?
It's starting to make my eyeballs itch.

Ta.

Again i would not be here but for modding [ though i have experienced the power of the hammer and doubtless will again] and i am not sure what we really expect from them.

There are load of us here we agree on nothing be it what tyre or what thread to keep so its not hard to see why they will always be some of us annoyed with them.

Someone makes the rules and we may agree or disagree but they will still be making the rules and we will still disagree

I mean we as in the community

Indeed. People have been banned for starting threads about closed threads, and yet here we are on such a thread....

Your complete lack of insight amazes me Adrian. You openly accused me of lying just because I was reluctant to name a client on a public forum - hardly surprising given the number of bell-ends and mischief makers on here...

YOU are the only person that looks inadequate! You made a bit of a tit of yourself, and compounded it by trying to discredit me! That's why the thread got pulled! Quite disappointing really, I had a metaphorical pair of bombers that I wanted to use to siphon my own urine into your shoes. 😉
