I am finding all of these posts highly diverting, not least because I've never understand how people can take themselves so seriously, and fall about laughing when they do so. I don't take myself seriously and I don't expect anyone else to. When people do that's yet another source of entertainment (hullo combat). As an office worker I followed Sir Humphrey Appleby's excellent advice and occupied most of my day with masterly inactivity, so that I was pretty much able to describe the fifteen years before I actually retired as "semi-retirement" or as one of my friends described it "gaining a PhD in how to do bugger all".Quote:

To put my seemingly rude comment in context, it was directed at BeachBunny (RIP) who had made a characteristically sharp comment to another board member. It went like this:
z909 wrote:....Even better would be an airline that doesn't allow brats under the age of 16.
BeachBunny commented (unnecessarily): I'd fly that airline in a second, as long as they also didn't allow flatulent, snoring old cunts over 60, people of any age weighing more than 100 kg,
MiniMee quiped: Whereas flatulent, snoring old cunts over 40 weighing more than 90 kg are OK with you, we assume?
BeachBunny conceded :тАж. They would have to be, or I wouldn't be able to fly.
My comment was just a dig in the ribs and was pertinent as there was much debate on the board at the time on whether BeachBunny was in fact thonglorgwm on Gay Romeo who is listed as being 40-something and 90+kg.
You see, it was just banter and BeachBunny had the wit to take my remark in self-deprecating good humour. That is what makes SGT entertaining to many of us, as well as being informative at times. You should try it!
But I find your current dialogue with Beachlover is getting rather tedious and, whilst you are correct that neither I, nor anyone else is forced to read your posts, it is not as simple as that. These protracted disputes that extend across many threads, tend to lower the tone of the entire board, discourage quality contributions and drag others into taking sides.
So please, be a good chap and kindly bugger off for a while to prevent this board descending into another period of anarchy, forcing jinks the moderator [sic] to wield his axe, disenfranchising those who have a positive contribution to make (in any form they choose) and leaving us in the doldrums once more, thus spoiling my enjoyment.
Oh really? Are you a message board Master? Was this the downfall of your last message board?Quote:

I've never, ever sent Beachlover a PM although his obsession with homintern has him claiming to receive PMs from someone he has conceived (or been persuaded) to be that poster (and therefore, indirectly, me). My guess is that poster is playing on Beachlover's obsession and keeps suggesting to him "Look, look, there's another homintern" or "You're so clever, you've spotted another homintern". It would certainly account for Beachlover abandoning his threat to post all such PMs publicly.Quote:

IтАЩm of the mindset that this discussion has come to a head in just a very short while and that hopefully Beachlover will either vanish or stop flooding the board with bullshit. This is probably a natural process for any message board to go through, something that has been going on here and on the previous boards for sometime and what has made this board what it is today. I say that, having gone through this with this board over the years.
It had been my intention to keep this discussion to parking lot threads, time sensitive threads past heir due dates. Then Beachlover suggested we take this offline to PMтАЩs, which for the same reasons I thought was better for the boardтАж.knowing full well that Beachlover would publicize these at some point. And so no, I donтАЩt believe this discussion has extended across many threads. I only read a small percentage of threads and respond to even fewer. IтАЩm not looking for an audience here, I only care if Beachlover is reading what I have to say on the topicтАж.itтАЩs you and Brad the Impala and combat that have involved yourselves needlessly.
No Brad, the search engine works quite well hereтАж.itтАЩs easy when you recall the original discussion and itтАЩs key phrases.Quote:
