If a post, which may be posted by someone who may or may not fit the description of a troll, who repeatedly posts identical repetitive posts , which add nothing to the discussion in hand, be removed ? Just putting that out there for discussion.
The word 'onesie' started to be used every time a new poster made a thread, which insinuated they were the same person who makes threads about the underage gay teen. (Who incidentally, I'm convinced ducked under the radar and made one a week or two ago) That is why, I would imagine, the deletion.
I ve had posts removed for saying ‘Onesie’ There seem such descrepencies in what some people get away with No excuses needed if they can work a computer and work their way through a battlefield of posts then they can be respectful
It's inane and offensive. I agree with crystaltipps. That kind of language is no longer acceptable in quality press, magazines etc and should have no place here. When it's plain that others find it offensive, the poster should be asked not to use such sexist language and have offending posts removed.
Lots of explanations for this behaviour - mental health issues, inadequate, lonely or maybe some Russian t word , who knows. I can ignore it - just feel this poster adds nothing to what is an important discussion, and, more importantly, detracts from it, which is a pity. I personally think discussion would be enhanced without such contributions. ( “hello dearies, you are gorgeous “ would fit my definition of “inane”, in case of any confusion).
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...
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.
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.
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.
