Just read last couple of pages and that struck me as someone who disagreed with others being shouted down. Not a great advertisement for this site, in my opinion.
Behave yourself. He weighed in with a completely unrelated and incoherent point. He was asked questions that he then avoided, then threw insults and accusations about.
What would have been a good advert for the site? The pair of us deciding to take a trip on every tangent Ted offers a ticket to?
I rarely bitch unless I have a suggested improvement. How would you have handled those posts differently, assuming you were arsed enough to get engaged?
His point was neither incoherent or irrelevant. He did not throw insults about, he was insulted and only responded after an aggressive post by Goatboy. He gave his opinion about confirmation bias and and disagreed that the BBC are biased. For that he was attacked.
The language you use in your post is indicative of, yet again, your approach to people to disagree with you. I am arsed enough to get engaged in this matter, in the way that a member of this board has been dealt with because he dared to say something that went against some members views. Weāll see if Ted changes his mind and comes back, but that altercation has resulted in him saying that he is done with the board. Thatās a shame in my opinion as he offers something quite different to many members.
The language I use in my post is pretty much on a par with real life. āArsedā is frequently used. Iām glad you were arsed enough to provide a substantive reply. His first point was about Corbyn, fuck knows why, as I hadnāt mentioned him. Hence the irrelevance.
Now, instead of discussing the machinations of a foreign power in British politics, weāre having a chat about whether I hurt Tedās feelings. Goatboy was on the lash and has already apologised.
Do tell me where I, one of the admins, started insulting him.
Youād almost think itās a slow latest news week. It really isnāt, and quite frankly, I preferred you when you were wolfing down large plates of substance rather than fucking about with garnish*.
* Thatās a play on your name, btw. I await its weaponisation into āworst insult everā and ābeing a bad advert for the siteā with a due sense of certainty and dread.

Iāve no idea whatās gone on, havenāt had a chance to read the earler posts yet but I agree with this bit
Weāre discussing everything except the infiltration of the Labour & Conservative parties by a considerably more hardline Israeli embassy, apparently.
Iāve now caught up and Iām with Fats on this one. I canāt see Ted did much to deserve being jumped on like he was.
As to derailing the thread Pap, the organic nature of forums cause threads to stray off topic all the time and mostly people are happy go with the flow.
You and Fatso are entirely welcome to your opinions. Iāve come in for harsher criticism.
I think the worst thing I did was call his content unrelated bollocks. It bore no relationship to what I had just written. Weāve got a very long thread with over 33.7K views concerning Labour. That probably would have been a better place to put some unrelated anti-Corbyn stuff.
I like a lot of what Ted posts elsewhere. I personally donāt think Goatboy should be apologising to him. The record will show that SB was just as much of a dick. He insulted me personally. The worst he got in return was having his content described in a colourful fashion.
He then retracted his fuck yourself to Goatboy, but kept mine intact, despite me insulting him less
Who wants to discuss the Israel Lobby when weāve got such matters of import of our own to get through?
