Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Dave the Gnome Date: 23 Apr 14 - 03:52 AM I always liked the Aussie cricket captain phrase. "Which of you bastards called this bastard a bastard?" I think I will start to use my former religious acclamation as a sign off. Well, on this thread anyway. Bollocks DtG |
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Apr 14 - 03:45 AM Musket sez (23 Apr 14 - 01:30 AM) Incidentally, I'd check up on your statement about USA based websites and free speech if I were you. They form the basis of evidence presented in many terrorism cases and right now, the extradition warrant that your country used to get a wanted terrorist from our prisons to your federal courts included incitement to hate on websites based in The USA. Musket, is it so hard for you to understand what I say? Yes, of course the person posting is responsible in the US for "incitement to hate" (although what you appear to see as "incitement" would be ignored in the US). However, the fact that it's posted wherever, does not imply that the place where it's posted gives its blessing to the post. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 23 Apr 14 - 03:15 AM Well, since this is an 'Abuse Lite' thread, we surely don't need to go into all that Musket. Just abuse somebody in a really fun yet highly abusive way and we can retaliate with an abusively amusing riposte. Rather like my husband, who's just starting to learn 'banter'. I'm afraid he greets his colleagues on arrival at work with, "Am f****** ouell dis moaning. How are you f****** doin', mate?" Luckily they fall over laughing. He'd do quite well on this thread I imagine! |
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 23 Apr 14 - 03:08 AM >>Nick sez (22 Apr 14 - 07:22 PM): Hey Joe (where you going with that gnu in your hand?) you seem like our sort of guy as well. Gnu, what do you have to say about that? Gothcha. On purpose I'm afraid, Joe. For me it was a lovely image. I'm not sure it would have scanned quite so well or been such a hit for Hendrix. Perhaps he might have gone on to play Wilde Beest rather than Wild Thing? His whole career might have taken a different turn (perhaps started wearing women's clothing and recording Purple Hose?) If my tongue was any further in my mouth it would be dangerously close to looking like a BJ My intrinsic gravitas seems to have been liberated on this thread when I embraced hatred. |
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: GUEST,Musket Date: 23 Apr 14 - 01:30 AM You are behind the times Joe. You aren't the only one to contact me about my detestation of hate propaganda. Incidentally, I'd check up on your statement about USA based websites and free speech if I were you. They form the basis of evidence presented in many terrorism cases and right now, the extradition warrant that your country used to get a wanted terrorist from our prisons to your federal courts included incitement to hate on websites based in The USA. Agreements between our law enforcement agencies mean our police can ask yours to obtain IP addresses and vice versa. Spooky and big brother. But there again, so is seeing sections of society as second class. Actually you aren't on the list. It seems I could tell you to get fucked just as easily on here as over a glass of zin. I just can't upset those hell bent on upsetting others. I have to say that I disagree with them or some such nonsense. A pity. I disagree with celery. I disagree with some government policies. I accept that some people like celery. I accept that governments can't please all the time. Hate and bigotry are in a different league. No excuse for it, see. |
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Big Al Whittle Date: 23 Apr 14 - 01:17 AM this is more like temporary abuse....you don't get that sinking feeling. its actually much better.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Apr 14 - 12:39 AM Nick sez (22 Apr 14 - 07:22 PM): Hey Joe (where you going with that gnu in your hand?) you seem like our sort of guy as well. Gnu, what do you have to say about that? and again...And then we could just be AWFUL to them with the blessing of Mudcat? With apologies to Eliza and others who may think I stereotype Brits too much, let me say that this "with the blessing of Mudcat" idea seems to be a British way of thinking. Please remember that although we have many members in the British Isles, Mudcat is located in the United States. In the US, we take no responsibility for what other people say on the media we provide - in general, the speakers are the ones who are considered to be responsible, not the media that host the speakers...although radio and television stations can be fined if they fail to "bleep" out the sound when speakers say "fuck." Never could figure that out, but I guess some senator thought that saying "fuck" was a really terrible thing that might bring about the judgment of the Almighty or something.... But anyhow, Mudcat does not "bless" anything posted here. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Ed T Date: 22 Apr 14 - 08:00 PM "ED, YOU MORON, you are not understanding the point of the thread." Maybe you should have pre-registered this concept with the mods , Nick. So they would delete humour with acbit more caution. Odd that they delete humour, and leave plenty of the nasty personal insult stuff up. Go figure? "Fingers on their triggers", kinda stuff. |
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 07:25 PM Ed T - Fuck the mods I say. I was always always on the side of the rockers. |
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Nick Date: 22 Apr 14 - 07:22 PM >>Instead of deleting comments, we could just move them into the catch-all abuse thread. Gee, the idea has real merit, ya know. And then we could just be AWFUL to them with the blessing of Mudcat? Hey Joe (where you going with that gnu in your hand?) you seem like our sort of guy as well. I'm warming to the thought of keeping going now. I was flagging earlier with the old vitriol thing. Especially as I was struggling to be unpleasant to the visitors to the thread so far because I rather like some of them.. I think I reserve the right to swear at Keith as he told me (along with everyone else) to 'Fuck off' earlier but I might not bother. I've forgiven Dave the Gnomist as I took it as a witty aphorism. That Steve Shaw though - he was definitely bigger than 4'3" so I'm not sure I can believe anything he says now. Moving things on a bit, Joe... Perhaps as you placed the deleted comments here you could also post their email addresses and we could spam the shit out of them for a bit of extra sport? And if they have a web site perhaps all the good guys could get together and organise a denial of service attack in an atmosphere of jolly bonhomie? Serve the bastards right for spoiling stuff. Perhaps a trial run tomorrow? |
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Apr 14 - 06:49 PM Musket sez (22 Apr 14 - 07:50 AM): See the moderators' list of people I am not allowed to swear at... Gee, I wasn't aware of such a list, but then I don't do that sort of moderation any more. My instructions are to use only my humor, my wisdom, and my gentle spirit. But then, that might be a good idea, Musket. We could make it binding for Steve Shaw and a few others, too. Let's see....
Instead of deleting comments, we could just move them into the catch-all abuse thread. Gee, the idea has real merit, ya know. |
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Ed T Date: 22 Apr 14 - 05:41 PM Oops, maybe that last post is not accepted in a permanent abuse thread? Just in case someone dies not understand, and us offended, it is intended as humour- following the general slant of previous posts. |
Subject: RE: BS: Can we have a Permanent abuse thread From: Ed T Date: 22 Apr 14 - 05:24 PM Some mudcat mods suck! Any argument, or are they infallible and immune to abuse/favouritism themselves (after all, special folks and their friends, deserve special consideration- not a unique concept in any society?. :) |

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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?
