Oi! Mods!

[count_libido]

certainly sounds like someone doesn't have the courage of their convictions. Or something.

Clearly, unless the world agrees with you they are 'baiting' and hijacking your threads, but the simple fact is, people have differing opinions and the purpose of an open forum is not to fall down to our knees and kiss the thread starters arse.

Back to the confrontational posts, uh? Actually I wasn't even talking about you when I said "twerp", I meant the member called "chrismk" who bumped the swimming pool thread back up just to do some baiting. What is it, aye, first I'm a tit because I don't think it's a good idea to have aircraft carriers with no planes, now another unwarranted insult for something I didn't even say about you. Don't forget this answer for no good reason:

The replacement aircraft are also on their way, but by necessity they have to be ready after the carrier is ready, and it is a logistical nightmare to get these these projects to sync up.

If you think you can do better, apply to the governement for the job...you obvioulsy pride yourself on being a suitable project leader for a £3.9 Billion defence project.

Morons like you just like to kick up a fuss and moan about the government for no f*cking reason.

The only thing that was edited was the language, not the reason for that language. It's okay for a mate to have a go at an FNG just so long as you don't use bad language in doing so?

And of course I don't mind people having different opinions, just so long as they're not disagreeing with the bloody obvious every time I make a post just for the sake of starting an argument. I say the grass is green and they say it's blue. I explain myself and my words are taken out of context or only bits of my post are quoted in order to make the wrong assumption. Gets really annoying.

And this is the post that started the rant:

I never said anything about supporting any political parties, but this member seemed to want to make it an issue. I was saying "Tory" because that's what the council is. If it was a Labour council I would've called it Labour. Just to say it's a Tory council and that they're Tories doesn't automatically mean I'm a Labour supporter, or a supporter of any other party. It's a Tory council so that's what I called it.

But okay, I concede, because I've just found this that I said on page 1:

It seems I made the first comment about people voting a certain way.

Lastly, this thing about me calling Osborne a "faggot". That doesn't mean I've got anything against homosexuals. Saying that is like saying zenseeker doesn't like women's chests because he called me a "tit". Has anyone called someone a "bastard"? Doesn't mean you've got something against people born out of wedlock. What about calling someone a "f***er"? Don't say you all hate sex? No, it's just a figure of speech, just as my insult about Osborne was, just as it would've been if I'd called him a c***. Now I know I love those!

There, I hope that ends it, except for one thing. If I want to dislike politicians in general then that's up to me. If I'd like to see them fall from their ivory towers then that's up to me. It doesn't mean I'm some kind of leper (I've got nothing against lepers either).

Ghost - the word you used is an insult used against homosexuals. Just by using it you're insulting also of the words to pick it suggests a question over sexuality. Seems you know plenty of other words but you picked that one - interesting choice.

You do know when you're in a hole you really should stop digging

Sorry mate, but the word has got many meanings including, ironically, a public school one:

In some countries, faggot has additional meanings (all dated or rare in the U.S.): a bundle of sticks; a culinary term for herbs or seasoning added to a meal; "faggot trim", a style of embroidery in clothing; and faggots, which are a kind of meatball. Fag also has additional meanings: slang for a cigarette (dated in the US), or for hard work and chores. In some UK public schools, fagging was the name given to the practice where a younger boy (a "fag") acted as an unpaid servant for an older boy.

EDIT: I think our trouble is where I'm coming from here. I have a crude mouth and tend to say things in a belligerent, crude and metaphorical sense when something or someone takes my displeasure. This I'll cover more indeph on the thread covering depression.

[mozz]

That's a pretty thin excuse to be using when you know full well what the popular meaning of the word is and the reaction it would have.

Dude, it's really time to let things lie now and move on.

Oh Lordy, here we go. Don't insult anyone, whether it be zen or chrismk.

I will not delete any non-Grey Ghost posts.

I remind you that zen issued an apology for his comment, which I asked you to accept in the spirit it was given.

And I don't care how you try to justify the word faggot, it was and is a homophobic slur and is unacceptable.

Right, now the Mod gets a say.

GG, I'm going to delete all your posts in the Dying for Some Heat thread. If you continue down the path you're going, I can see a rocky road ahead, so some free advice; take a week out, calm down, realise that there are consequences for your actions here and that there will be differing opinions. That's life. Though you claim baiting, most of what I read was counter argument. You can't and won't have it all your own way and perhaps you have now realised that we have some very good debaters here and you must have the courage of your convictions and be able to support your point of view. Insulting others and crying foul every time there's a contra post to your own will win you no friends.

Line drawn, matter closed, move on.

Sorry SoS, I saw this earlier and forgot to do it. Done now.

[Grey Ghost]

By the way, sorry about the bad language I used on the swimming pool thread.
