Tbh, itās tough to hold the phone andā¦
Ha! youāve just reminded me of an old boy i worked with whoās nickname was Tugger - short for Tugwell or something, but obviously referencing other things. When i was fresh of out college and green as grass he was the Brickies foreman on the site i was based on. I remember one day on a site walk around with the Client who was a nice guy and was always happy to chat with the lads. Tugger was a brash geezer from Pompey and this day he was wearing a Pompey shirt.
āAh, are you a footbal fan?ā the Client asks
āYepā says Tugger.
āPompey fan?ā
āFucking obvious that, iād sayā
āAha, umm, do you go to games?ā
āNoā
āWhy notā
āI only likes football 'cos when my mates are at the game i can go round and fuck their wivesā
Hmm, interesting article methinksā¦
Twitter and Facebook have caused themselves huge issues
They are going to struggle to argue they are not responsible for content after this
They obviously are when it suits them

Itās the employees as much as anything else. These places attract the brightest minds in the world, a lot of them are programmers, and as you know, we programmers are always 1.
At least when life has kicked the shit out of you a bit you get a bit of nous.
Hyper-bright kids, all the intelligence, none of the wisdom, making up the majority of the workforce of powerful communications conduits.
What can possibly go wrong?

But, on Twitter at least, religious groups donāt incite people to go around and kill other people, if they do then they will fall foul of twitterās ācommunity rulesā and get themselves bannedā¦
Iām going to post this in the social media thread as itās slightly off-topic for this thread.
And infesting another thread Bob? 
Corrected for you
Dont want you getting blasted by no Eurovision Typhoons
Thisāll open a massive can of worms and one that closes down debate further and creates small sub-divisions of agreement as opposed to discussion and concession.
Just a little bit further down the road to social fundamentalism and further away from each other, good little liberal fascists, well doneā¦
What will? Are you responding to Philās post immediately before yours or something else?
It makes no sense
Another thread to swerve today I guess
Stop being bitchy, the post was written openly and to everyone.
Why?
Not being funny, but Barry puts up with dogs abuse on here and even though he deserves a good deal of it, Iāve never seen him do this.
This is a discussion forum and yours is an anti-discussion post.

One could possibly say that that is what social media is at the moment anyway. Itās all just echo chambers and confirmation bias
People follow people with similar views and engage with people with similar viewsā¦
I try not to, Iām here arenāt I?
Lol
What was he aiming at with the post. No reference to anything in particular.
Am muting more and more posts these days and thatās 100% down to the style of posting by Mr Sanchez.
Clearly Iām definitely l not a fan and youāll have seen comments recently from others which suggest many others arenāt either.
I guess Iāll just carry on muting topics until thereās nothing left to read / participate in.
Not too fussed tbh.
Your site, your rules - free speech ānā all that
Rule 34
Iād ask yourself to put yourself in Barryās shoes.
How would you feel if people were saying āIām not posting on this thread anymore because of Cobsā?
Iāve seen comments from other people and a fair deal of them are fair enough, but Iāve never liked mobs and have never believed that they know best.
They destroyed decent discussion on SaintsWeb and the mob mentality of certain posters here after the Brexit result almost destroyed this place. Weāve still never recovered.
Heās ok, heās more than entitled to his opinion.
