No, not at all. If I see new topics that are sensible I will reply to them. Mitch, were you born in 1988? If so, that means I'm old enough to be your mum and also that you're not the boss of me so please remember this.

I suspect Mitch8817 is actually almost twice your age. It is a bit lame playing the age card.

Sure I do it to Quatermass as a joke even tough he is only 1 year younger than me. But not serious.

Quatermass respect your elders :P

I once checked The Chosen One's IP on a whim. It's not shared with anyone.

That doesn't really say much not many people have static ip nowadays.

I suspect Laney, The Chosen One's, and Pandora to be the same movement.

What, is mitch8817 in his 90s? I'd've thought his arthritis and Alzheimers would preclude him from using this forum in the first place, then. :)

What's wrong with resurrecting some old posts and chat threads? Not everyone has been here from the beginning, and some might actually enjoy reading and catching up with all these threads. Doesn't stop people making new threads either... the 'net is meant to be a library, afterall. And that is what you do in a library; search for anything that you want.

If people are so concerned about old threads, then, haven't they heard of archiving them? Surely there must be provision for it.

Well said, Quatermass. To me, calandale doesn't actually want free speech on these forums; he just wants us to follow the gospel according to calandale, where he makes up his own rules as he goes along; and if anyone disagrees with him, he calls them heretics and then tries to bury them in verbose prattle. His graffiti consists of his standard and tired old insults (all of which you would've seen). Only problem is, he sounds like an old Louis Armstrong 78 rpm with a huge scratch all through one side; keeps going round and around and not getting anywhere until the needle gets worn out and breaks. I know he is probably a very lonely person since his marriage collapsed, and he has problems, by why is he so bitter and twisted when he doesn't get the recognition that he wants? Is there some sort of paranoid psychosis there, or is he just being an annoying prat? Maybe only he can answer that, but I'm not sure what sort of answer we'll get.

Unfortunately, my qualifications in psychology are confined to a couple of subjects I did at Griffith for my degree, so I really can't answer that without being called unqualified. What about you? Do any Uni up at Townsville?

No it looks like he is 18, but certainly more mature than Pandora

And?

I'm 24. I think, in fact, I've matured considerably since becoming a mod (mature BBS-wise, anyway). I had to.

Quatermass: University of Hard Knocks, mate. Life course. Don't care for students and pseudo-academics much unless they have something worth saying. BTW, I'm mid-40s, and feel more than qualified to make perceptions on things I see, if i feel they are warranted. From cal's actions, something definitely is wrong.

BTW, get a dictionary, calandale. I suggest either the Webster's Universal or the Oxford English Dictionaries. That MacQuarie you are using is dreadfully inaccurate; with all the misspelt words and phrases.

You say I can't spell; you being a uni prof should realise the Queen's English, which is the proper form of it, is what we speak in Australia, unlike the bastardized form that became popular in America. The word is 'responsibilities' with an i, and yours are to let people say what they want without continually picking on them for their behaviour and what they are writing.

If you can't do this, then take Quatermass' suggestion and go to I2 or Uranus or whatever.

So, why did you state otherwise?
And why did you state that it was also
your opinion that these topics should be
locked?

Can you get your story straight?

Indeed. I DO have to refrain from attacking you
in kind, to avoid your goal of getting me banned.

For I actually use this forum, and am not here
merely to troll.

Heh. I'm hoping the Uni of Hard Knocks doesn't have courses to make me like AFL or NRL. Only concern I have with that is whether Queensland has won the State of Origin.

It is thanks to my reading books since 4 that I have such a command of English, and Queen's English too.

LOL! No, you don't have to follow either if you don't want (but there are certain people who would be aggrieved if either code wasn't followed). I do follow both, but as my teams aren't doing that well, I won't talk about them. QLD did win the Origin, tho'.

Actually, I'm from Victoria; holidaying in Townsville. Need to get a new computer when I get back so I can keep chatting (mine is 10 y-o and still running Win 95).

Why I have been getting stuck into calandale so much is because he persistently attacked Pandora for doing what she was doing, and didn't come up with any balanced argument why things should be done in a certain way. All he gave was backstabbing and innuendo, and so therefore I leaped to her defense. He therefore thought I was a sockpuppet brought on to pick on him; it's not him I'm actually picking on, but his constant abuse and ridiculing of others. He doesn't seem to like copping a bit of his own medicine. As I've said on those forums, I'll debate anything in an intelligent way, I will also fight back if I see people continually being sniped at in the way he was doing.

Balanced? What need be balanced?
What she was doing was clearly stifling
speech. Didn't much matter whether or
not she meant to. THEN, once doing as
good members here are supposed to,
and policing ourselves, she revealed that
that was her intention. Such an admission
infuriated me.

I have to say, the fact that neither of you
are on at the same time, that you used the
same words in defending her actions as
she did - as well as in attacking my tastes,
that you ONLY showed up in the same threads,
yes, I did think so at first. Once your hostility
of attacks led to about as bad as I've seen here,
nah - she doesn't have that kind of meanness in
her.

Quote:

I've even been indulgent about your constant harping
on me, ranging into personal attacks, and deep into the
realm of trolling. I find it rather
amusing, how pathetic your attempts to hurt looked.
I really don't see how anyone could characterize anything
I've posted, in that way.

I did lay out, again and again (especially as I saw the original
arguments being buried under more necros) what pandora was
doing, and why it was wrong. And I began to note her stated
reasons, once she revealed them.

And yes, what she was doing was an underhanded tactic,
effectively the equivalent to a large scale spam attack -
in order to drive topics from the public view.

I'd LOVE to see you start.

At least you realize that your posts so far have
been pretty close to unintelligible rants.
