Well, you clearly come here quite a bit Guest, to comment on that. Why not join, or are the posts you make or threads you start such that youre too cowardly to put a name to them?

"lot of the usual debating members " Guest

Why the "hostility"? Look at how you phrased the remark, Allison.

We have found its usually warranted with those who Ebbie/Allison quite rightly said seem to come here looking for an argument.

I'm guessing you refreshed the Cromwell thread & started the one about Irish threads.

True, or not?

Oh yes, failing to join in by adoptiong a silly fake name is far more likely to raise the ire of the members than postion something controversial, inflammatory, insulting or just plain stupid.

One thing to bear in mind is that when a deluge of dishwater-dull twit-postings get thrown onto the site, people with something intelligent to offer often shut up and wait for a more auspicious environment to evolve.

I mean, lets get real here... Yer either with Bush or you ain't and next Tuesday should provide a litmis test of how many folks fall on which side...

Maybe after the elctions things will be ripe for arguin' and carryin' on but right now??? Nah... It's all been said for now...

What kind of threads usually interest you, first guest Alison? Since the work Max did a few days ago a lot of threads disappeared way down the list. You may have to go find them and post a message to refresh them. It was an odd effect of the restoration--threads I'd posted to just a few days before were buried way down under stuff that hadn't been looked at for months.

Yes, evidently he did mean "conceived", although he now says "it kinda works either way in Number 6's case". He seems to be peeved with Number 6 at the moment.
