BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread

Subject: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 07:34 AM Given some of the recent threads about Mudcat getting spoiled by a small minority why not have a permanent abuse thread where one could just come and do some of the following - just because you felt like it.
Perhaps some prizes could be given for some of the following - "Quickest successful subject change in the thread attracting more than five responses from separate mudcatters" I used to have an acquaintance at university who was militantly left wing and was fantastic at this. A simple happy statement like "Nice day today!" would be met with "Not if you are one of the oppressed" ... and we'd be off onto his specialist subject. "Most repeated view in a week/month/year" "Least posts about music on a music site since 2002" I'm sure there are many more. Could have no rules (is that a rule? If it is feel free to ignore it). Swearing and terms of abuse are acceptable, perhaps even actively encouraged. On other threads people could perhaps be carefully steered to the abuse thread at the point when they wanted to thread drift and pursue their personal hobby horse(s) and continue rehashing the old conversations again and again with themselves. So a thread about (say) "What guitar strings do you use" could chug along quite happily until someone throws in a curve ball like - eg "I'd use any strings as long as they weren't made by a Welshman/midget/homosexual/republican/liberal/[insert my personal hobby horse]" to try and steer the thread onto their specialist subject. At this stage they could be given the URL to go and argue in the abuse room. It's a thought anyway. |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 07:40 AM ED, YOU MORON, you are not understanding the point of the thread. |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Musket Date: 22 Apr 14 - 07:50 AM Even easier. See the moderators' list of people I am not allowed to swear at and give them a permathread of their own where they can discuss what they like. The title could have a warning that if you are in a demographic that The Daily M*il or Fox, (to cover both sides of the pond) blames for having the audacity to exist, you may not want to open the thread in case you are deeply offended. If you have a view about history that doesn't accord with recent revision aimed at sanitising mistakes, you might not wish to go on it either, in case you called a liar for disagreeing with anybody subjectively called eminent. In return, delete anything they spout that is deeply offensive in threads read by respectable decent people. By the way, swearing at them isn't offensive. 1. They are thick skinned, they have to be to have the views they have in the first place. 2. No point in calling a spade an earth inverting horticultural implement. In return, I'll stop questioning why we publish incitement to hatred and castigate those who refuse to see it go unchallenged. |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 07:52 AM Like shooting fish in a barrel. I'm warming to this. Three entries in and I feel like a new person. Bring it on. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. And I'll abuse them. Come on in the waters lovely. |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 08:01 AM Why is that mudcat people are so fucking contrary in life? I create a thread where we can go for it and everyone is polite and friendly. WTF? Not like the racist UKIP moron I heard on the radio this morning. |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Dave the Gnome Date: 22 Apr 14 - 08:43 AM Can we have a Permanent abuse thread No, you can't. Fuck off and take your smart arse ideas with you. :D tG |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Ed T Date: 22 Apr 14 - 08:49 AM Just in the nick of time. ummm...what rhymes with nick...can I get back to you on that, rat droppings? |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 08:56 AM No, you can't. Fuck off and take your smart arse ideas with you. Yes I can. And I have. Time you got liberated Just need Jim, Keith, GfS, Stringsinger and Jack the Sailor and we'll be quorate. Steve. The last time I met you the place we were staying was infested with rats. I trust there was no connection? (I'm practicing linking two unlinked events together to suggest that they are connected. But I'm not very good at it quite yet so it's not very good abuse). Cornish people - all twats. That's more like it |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Dave the Gnome Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:03 AM He's not Cornish you tit. He's from Lancashire. It is us Lancastrians that are all twats I'll have you know. As for the Gnome Liberation Front. Bunch of liberal pinko commie terrorists if you ask me. DtG |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:06 AM Ed T - short for or perhaps short of education? It is indeed a long word to spell. ummm...what rhymes with nick. That would be 'prick'. Because it is indeed a truly magnificent edifice. |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: gnu Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:12 AM And who said the French do not have a sense of humour? Free the gnomes! "Come on in the waters lovely." No thanks... and don't call me 'lovely'. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: selby Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:13 AM It is us Lancastrians that are all twats I'll have you know. Finally a Lamcastrian has admitted, to what the good folk of Yorkshire have always known. Keith |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:14 AM Trust someone to mention the French. Never liked them since de Gaulle's 'non' in 1967. And the food's overrated. |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Ed T Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:14 AM Abuse |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Dave the Gnome Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:17 AM Finally a Lamcastrian has admitted, to what the good folk of Yorkshire have always known. Oy, Selby, twats give people lots of pleasure. All you tykes do is whinge and give the North a bad name :-P DtG |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: MGM·Lion Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:18 AM I say! I think you are nothing but a bunch of cads and bounders. Quite beyond the pale. There. How's that for a tirade to put all of you scoundrels and scallywags in your place! Hope it's taught you all a jolly good sharp lesson, and you all feel thoroughly ashamed of yourselves! Now, off to bed with no supper! All of you!! Now!!! ~M~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:20 AM ED - the link to "This must be the bottom" - is this some sort of arcane homosexual invitation? I don't think the other strange link redresses the balance. Still if you want to come out on this thread it's fine by me. Just another opportunity to take the piss out of you. We are an equal opportunities abuser |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Jim Carroll Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:20 AM Wouldn't it be good if we only had back-slapping "I love Bobby" discussions to tell each other how nice we all are? Some subjects get people going Heat-kitchen and all that! Jim Carroll |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:28 AM Some subjects get people going, but need not get people abusing. If only you folks could keep all the mindless abuse and name calling here and we could have grown up discussions on the other threads. Fuck off the lot of you. (Can I say that?) |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Ed T Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:34 AM I will fart in your general direction, if you provide your gps coordinates? |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: gnu Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:44 AM Ed... "Abuse" link. I concur. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: selby Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:48 AM It is commonly thought that a "twat" is a noun to describe a pregnant goldfish. :-)))))) Keith |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Ed T Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:48 AM "Mindless abuse" This is a general abuse thread, not a specific abuse one? Abuse drift is not allowed. Get your own thread, "specific" boy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 09:57 AM I often wonder whether it is having too much time on ones hands is the problem. Or whether events radicalise mudcat members. Let me pick someone at random. Keith (hi Keith we haven't talked before) for instance used to be really polite and quiet. Didn't really engage in politics overtly and mostly posted on music subjects. Occasional comments on Ireland (but pretty muted) and occasional worried that someone was coming to bomb us all to oblivion. But generally not. Even 9/11 elicited only a one line post of sympathy. What changed thing dramatically seems to be the 7th July 2005 bombing in London which seems to be a turning point that has made mild mannered Keith posting about one post every couple of days pre July 2005 into the quite radicalised/obsessed person who averages 11.50 posts per day now and very rarely mentions music at all. It often strikes me as amazing that we worry about the radicalisation and change that occurs in others without noticing the circumstances that have changed ourselves. Or perhaps you have retired from teaching and the TA (51 in 2001 if I remember from your post) now and have more time on your hand to reflect on the terrifying world we find ourselves in. Or perhaps that it reinforced your view of all the people out there who 'happily slaughter your loved ones' If the thread keeps going I might chat about my visit to Ireland a few years ago and the huge jolt it gave to a conservatively brought up bloke who lived in London in the 70's and caused me to question pretty much everything that I believed to be true but had never really thought about. Because I'm always happy to converse with people regardless of their views. Even if they are wankers. |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: GUEST Date: 22 Apr 14 - 10:05 AM Remember, we all start from a twat. Although some seem to prefer mitosis. |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 22 Apr 14 - 10:09 AM Your interest in me seems a little obsessive Nick, but your memory is letting you down. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Ed T Date: 22 Apr 14 - 10:12 AM Wanking (aka, self abuse, to those who do not have their finger up their ass) does not result from having too much time on ones hands...if involves the hands, except for banjo players, of course. |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 10:12 AM A GUEST on a BS abuse thread? What is that about? Although some seem to prefer mitosis Personally, I can't be doing with people with bad breath but each to their own Jack I don't thin is going to join us which is a bore but he did send me a personal message (which was kind) which was very much in the spirit of the thread. I'm sure he won't mind me sharing it here - "Arsehole" "Yes you". Pithy, spirited, forthright. Come in and get involved, Jack, your our sort of guy. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 10:14 AM A couple of minutes research Keith. Nothing more. easy when you know how. Which bit of my memory is letting me down? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Ed T Date: 22 Apr 14 - 10:15 AM Jack has sailed away, well kinda...he may be lurking in a safe harbour? |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Ed T Date: 22 Apr 14 - 10:18 AM Rumour has it that jts was blown offshore,just after opening the HIV thread. But,I caution, it is only a rumour. Well...at this point. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 10:20 AM By the way, as you probably noticed, my previous post was littered with grammatical errors. I'm disappointed. Point them out at least. What is this thread coming to? Standards of abuse plummeting within such a short time. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Ed T Date: 22 Apr 14 - 10:22 AM I noticed the grammar errors and first was concerned that you were disguising yourself as Ed T. But, then I realized you were not smart enough to do that. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: MGM·Lion Date: 22 Apr 14 - 10:46 AM Now, I am really getting tired of warning all you naughty boys... Behave yourselves at once, do you hear? You are supposed to be little gentlemen, not bounders and cads and scoundrels and scallywags and outsiders... Now just play together nicely, please. Or Auntie will smack all your bad botties ... Hard! |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Ed T Date: 22 Apr 14 - 11:24 AM Can we agree on something? How about spelling rumor, rumour? |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Steve Shaw Date: 22 Apr 14 - 12:16 PM Steve. The last time I met you the place we were staying... To clarify, the "we" there was Nick and his clan, not including me! To continue: ...was infested with rats. Ah yes, we call those "chickens" here in Cornwall. You'll have eaten bits of 'em in your pasties. Cornish people - all twats. And not one of 'em over four foot three... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Steve Shaw Date: 22 Apr 14 - 12:30 PM Because I'm always happy to converse with people regardless of their views. Even if they are wankers. Yebbut Nick, you could only do that on a permanent self-abuse thread... |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 12:30 PM This is very tiring keeping up conflict and abuse when you don't really feel it. I think I'll go and get pissed and then I can pick a fight with anyone about everything - indiscriminately. If people aren't going to come and do conflict and abuse here I'm going to have to go out into the bigger world of mudcat and find some issues (and someone/people) to get worked up about. How do you people have the energy to keep it up day in day out? I'm trying to choose whether I'm going to emerge from my chrysalis as a fully formed troll or as an extreme liberal. |

Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Musket Date: 22 Apr 14 - 01:13 PM Another fucking liberal plot. You'll be giving diddycoys rights next.... |
