I've decided to quit being a mod..

ourmaninthenorth

I don't view the team here as leaders, but merely the silly buggers who have the thankless task of serving, for the common good, this Forum. I doubt they live in a bubble, and have bills to pay and cat shit to clean up too...just like the rest of us. 

At the risk of repeating myself, I personally thank all the team for whatever service they have given, or are giving, to keep this dance going. I appreciate the work.

Oh, and Sporky, that LOL was from me :-)

Shit filled indeed :-)

Thank you, but really, this stuff writes itself.

That's pretty much it.  I'm an olympic class ranter and I need to blow off steam perhaps more than most.  It makes it difficult to argue back when you're a mod.  I mean, it's not easy to tell if I'm calling you a twat personally or if you are an official twat.

Indeed. Just remember that the banhammer quite literally has your name on it

Confusion mode on.  Eh ?  I wasn't calling you a twat... @digitalscream , the 'you' meant 'anyone'.  Also, why does the banhammer have my name on it ??  Is that as in 'the mod community banhammer that has been imaginarily signed by all those who've used it' or as in 'watch it sunshine' :-)

Nah, I just meant in general...I'm used to being called a twat (mostly by my wife, actually).

I just mean that you were actually the first person to use the banhammer, and it amused me to conflate that with the expression "has your name on it" expression.

Thanks for sinking my funnyship, though :P

Was I ?????  Jesus, you've got a good memory !!  A spammer was it ??



I never did like those spammers....  running across the floor...  little buggers...  they'd go right up your trouser leg if you didn't catch them.

Don't think I didn't see through that one either....

Actually, it is all Drew's fault.  Come to think of it, everything is Drew's fault.  Trump, Global warming, famine, North Korea, the Cuban Missile Crisis....  He's a complete cnut.

  

"Here... what I can do is make a really snide and offensive post, and put a smilie at the end of it... that covers my back.... and then all the trolls can rock on up and wisdom that post, to put some concrete numbers behind those sentiments, thus doing my job for me... mwahahahahaha!"

Obviously that's just a joke though. I don't really think that.

Fuck me... you're sensitive today babe.  C'mon man.... "a really snide and offensive post" - joking that you're responsible for the Cuban Missile Crisis and Global Warming etc ?  You for real ???!!!

For the record, I didn't think for a second that anyone would Wis that.  I was hoping for a few LOLs.  I was hoping for a LOL from you actually !  It certainly wasn't the strange motive you've conjured up dude.  I'm not that weasely.

I did give you a LOL! It was just a real life one!

Yeah, but then you said all that stuff about "a really snide and offensive post" ! ?

We are going to have to formulate some rules of engagement here man...  the confusion between banter and a real swipe is causing trouble.  Without verbal or visual clues it's very difficult to tell.  I don't know whether to come back at you with some bantah or punch you in the cock.  Maybe we could add a 'safe word' or something as an indicator....  e.g. "Here... what I can do is make a really snide and offensive post, and put a smilie at the end of it... that covers my back.... and then all the trolls can rock on up and wisdom that post, to put some concrete numbers behind those sentiments, thus doing my job for me... mwahahahahaha! - antelope".

I don't think "antelope" means what you think it means.

Well nothing I ever say is a real swipe, and contrary to what I've said in the past, nothing I ever say on here has that much thought behind it. It's all posturing point-scoring bullshit. Coz that's who I am. I'm a thicko and a dunce and a dullard. I am fundamentally broken as a person and long for death, but I'm too much of a chicken-shit to sort it out. So just ignore anything I say, it's not worth it.

More metro, I'd say.

Not hipster though, and that's the important bit.

You can always Ctrl-Z out of whatever you got yourself into. Or just click the </> button, delete everything then click it again - that'll clear the whole thing and you can start from scratch.

Please @digitalscream Lee...  Can't we replace it with something else?  You quote someone and then start typing and as soon as you hit the space bar you're inside their quote and you can't escape!
