Should repetitive inane posters be removed?

Sorry!!

I think he sounds great.

I apologise to you directly crystaltipps .... I thought you were referring to me and it seems (probably) not. It hurt and I wrongly took offence.

Sorry ?

However it was still mean saying ‘inadequates in their bedrooms’.

Considering some of the longest threads of late have been about cauliflower cheese and which way people peg their washing out, I think we should be careful about what we label as inane.

Haha! MissA you are very witty!
?

Oh now, those are the really interesting threads.

Do you mind MissA I thought the Cauliflower Cheese thread was inspirational and I noted you contributed to it ??

I did, Anja.
I even went so far as to make a cheese sauce, for the first time ever.
A bit stodgy, but edible.

Wot you doing up at this time of night NatashaGransnet? You oughta be gettin’ your beauty sleep ?

Someone suggested sprinkles of those crunchy dried onions you can buy scattered on top. Try those MissA they’re yummy.

Live and let live. If you genuinely think someone is a troll, report them. And if you find someone repetitive, or not receptive to your viewpoint, move on to another thread that's more interesting to you.
No need for meanness.

Plus what seems inane to some of us (and we can all think of times we've rolled our eyes!) may be of genuine interest to others. Let those people get involved in the thread while you do something else that you don't consider inane!

I did cauli-cheese with roast chicken today. DGS2 is 6'3", plays rugby and has an appetite to match.

That requires a heck of a big cauliflower and loads of cheese.

His favourite.

Love inane threads.

I think crystaltipps means me. Am I right crystaltipps?
You didn't spring to my mind at all Urmstongran

Your posts aren't inane (I may not agree with everything you post) but all threads can become subject to a 'silly season' from many posters occasionally.

I think crystal was thinking of someone else …… who is best ignored.

Someone suggested sprinkles of those crunchy dried onions you can buy scattered on top. Try those MissA they’re yummy.
I always found those dried onions tend to produce a lot of methane.

Which reminds me, the one with the problem teeth seems to have got fed up and disappeared

you never know, could have changed username or just be lurking

Perhaps one and the same Jalima but I don’t think so a different delivery

I think i'll risk the methane and get some of those crunchy onion thingys. (Thingies?)

I think you're probably right BlueBelle.

Did I miss the problem teeth person?
I'm a martyr to my teeth; could have regaled them with tales from my last dentist appointment and what the dentist said about my gums.

I haven't a clue who or what you're talking about - but if the posts referred to are inane and repetitive they are likely to have little influence anyway.

If they contain inaccuracies or opinions dressed up as facts they can be challenged or ignored. Sometimes challenging can be irresistible but perhaps ignoring is more effective.

Re Brexit, it seems that both leavers and remainers claim that the other "side" has been misled. I think we've all been misled, since this country is in such a mess that I don't think staying in the EU or leaving it will in any way resolve all the problems that this government has created.

We have an antiquated, class ridden system which leans heavily towards favouring the powerful and wealthy - like many other countries I suppose. I think powerful people on both sides of the Brexit debate who have had the opportunity to broadcast their opinions are primarily concerned with how staying or leaving will affect their own specific interests. Certain individuals and businesses will benefit from leaving - other will benefit from staying. (As the saying goes "it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good").

Having said that, I think there are many environmental, employment and health and safety protections contained within EU legislation and for that reason I voted to remain. I don't relish the idea of the UK scrabbling around trying to get deals and giving up ordinary .people's rights and protections in order to achieve that aim. And, given the absolute mess in nearly every area of public life and the shambolic EU negotiations under this government, I increasingly doubt if the UK can operate effectively on its own.

I can put up with the poster's inane and repetitive comments, but do get irritated by the somewhat sexist and condescending tone......but if it makes an old man happy, who are we to spoil his fun? Posting on political threads is (marginally) safer than doing handstands.

although I have to laugh as YOU were one of a group who have been pretty determined to hijack the ethos of the forum

Not the forum, Ug, just one thread. But I'm not the only offender. You try starting a thread about, say, political ideologies. It'll degenerate amazingly fast into trashing Corbyn and the Labour party...

Anyway, back to cauliflower cheese, ladies...
