I haven't been in here in over a year, but I notice that most of the obnoxious posters (In my opinion) haven't actually added to this thread!
Might there be a moral here?
Btw, I thought the "Fuck 'em all" line was Bette Midler.

GfS.... everyone can read your posts and draw their own conclusions. You wrote them. You OWN them. Seems you just can't accept that ownership or even read your own posts and understand what you posted in the manner that you posted them. Added to that, you continue to post on threads (Bobert's) when it is clearly in poor taste and unwarranted.

This thread is actually about people like you. And everyone who reads your posts knows it. Have you NO shame? or brain?

Izal? IZAL??? Us proper men only use old newspaper lovingly cut into squares by 'er indoors and hung on nail behind the karzee door. You've never lived until you have felt the cold wind blow under t'door to bite your bollocks and then wiped your arse on a picture of some famous royal.

Eeeeh. And when you tell the kids today they don't believe you.

Arseholes.

'Erbert I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you.....

I'm really sorry mate - but you have been using your Izal the WRONG WAY ROUND.

The smooth side is made for a smooth comfortable intercourse with the anal cavity. The rough abrasive side is so that your fingers can get effective purchase and swish and poke around effectively.

I have this from the horses mouth - so to speak.

I conclude by wishing you more happy and stress free wiping experience than life has hitherto granted you.

It used to be a very sociable atmosphere here, a few would do better taking ten steps back and giving just a little more understanding to other people's feelings.

We could have messages colour coded. If a thread has been initiated bysomeone who is bit of a turd - it could be in brown.

Someone who has been proved consistently to be Irish - it could in green.

Some one who is a bit of a prick - we could have their messages marked out with pictogram of a small penis.

For someone who is a total prick we could have a symbol of big penis.

For someone who's a bit of a twat.....and so on.

In this way we could steer clear of the turds, the pricks, the twats and of course the Irish. Unless that's the sort of company that one habitually seeks out. And why else would you be a musician?

What a wonderful word, racist.

Don't have a paddy, otherwise the sandal wearing ethnic skirt wearing thought police will send you for group therapy to calm your karma or whatever such nonsense they are perceived as doing.

Funny how colloquialisms have ancient origins that sneer at sections of a society, but calling someone racist for upholding local traditions, keeping heritage alive, blah blah is an opportunity to point and laugh at you. (I was delighted to see the term used not only in my native Derbyshire, but also used all the time when I was working in Dublin.)

I use the term paddy, always have, always will, up yours,

I suppose if the original poster gets upset by "British" trolling or whatever you call airing a view that is different to others. he / she / it could always keep in the top section where we have healthy debates on the 1954 folk music definition and always see the view of others...

I must admit, I'll always have posts where I can question the relevance of religion, anything about football (real football not the padded helmeted nonsense between advert breaks you get in the USA,) and don't get me started on healthcare...

If you want sanitised discussions, may I suggest joining a church hall debating society? if you want the breadth of opinions, I suggest Mudcat, especially when we don't get people wanting to shut the thread because that bugger over the pond has been saying things that make me upset.... There are some people on here I seriously disagree with, some I would have a beer with later and some I would pour a beer over their head (well lager anyway, beer is too good for them,) but Mudcat bullshit section is to air views. if it were any other way, there'd be no point in having it in the first place. Keep talking like that and Max will have a paddy again and spoil the fun for us all......

I have been an asshole but it was possibly inadvertent and I apologized for my misunderstanding.

My problem is with real assholes who do it for fun. They suck up to mods, post warm and fuzzy posts on threads... massage... and then troll and get nasty. It's THOSE assholes that concern me. I can be an asshole, by mistake, but I don't make that my agenda to get my rocks off. Big difference.

I've got a lovely bunch of butt holes
There they are all sitting in a row
Big ones, small ones, all sizes I will bet
Give them a cork or a poke with a fork
Cuz this is the internet
I've got a lovely bunch of butt holes
They want so much for you to pay them mind
If you post, you're flamin' toast
Singing pucker sphincters up there back behind
Pucker up back there behind
(I have no clue if that scans.)

Seriously, has anyone here NEVER been an asshole? Sure, some put more effort into it and seem to aspire to rectumhood, and those are the ones I really wish could be slipped some superglue Preparation H and force fed beans But assholes can be ignored (mostly) unless one actively tries to be involved in thread buggery.

So, what to do? I think you have to not engage with them; turn your back and walk away, or you stand a good chance of becoming one. Complaining IS engaging, BTW.

What do we do with them? Simple. Find out where they live. Hunt them down with torches and bloodhounds. Tie them hand and foot. Try them in a citizens' court. Condemn them to hideous torture. Strip them naked, flay them alive, make them watch "Gidget Goes Hawaiian" 85 times in a row, and then hurl them into a pit full of starving rats. If they survive, present them with either an accordion or a banjo, forgive them all their sins, and send them off rejoicing.

That oughta do it.
