Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

i don't much care who started what
as an "older and wiser member" i am merely trying to get this site back on track instead of it developing into a very boring children's punching and pissing contest

So why start the discussiion off again this morning. I'm sure everyone else on this bulletin board is fed-up to the back teeth of what went on yesterday

cynic - Shut your mouth just for a change and then this garbage won't be regurgitated FFS!

It is finished, done with end of, what part of that don't you understand. Leave it!

Is that plain English enough for you? :0)

i hope it is, but i rather think not ...... fortunately i do not rile easily

Cynic, are you in the habit of throwing a can of petrol over a bonfire when you want it to go out?

Why not do as I have and filter Fred and gf. It makes the bb much more pleasant to read.

Haystack, that is a good idea but part if the problem with that is I then can't read what gf is posting on the FLYB thread. I have a reasonable amount of money invested in FLYB, hence the reason I post there. Jimmyb also has money invested in that share, so I presume he is interested in any news relating to the company and there are possibly other lurkers with money invested who may be interested in what I post. If someone is short of a share which I'm invested in then I'm happy to carry on a reasonable debate without any personal abuse attached.

I don't personally have a problem with Fred -apart from his political views- I can engage in banter with Fred without any offence taken!

Maybe a new feature is needed on MAM to filter someone on a particular thread.

Hazeone,

As has been pointed out in a different way, for somebody who has squelched GF and Fred, you seem to have the ability to see around corners!

But I do wince with the pain Napoleon and DB4 inflict upon me.

But if I wander into the big boy's playground I expected a little rough play from ruffians!

My mum was always telling me not to go there!

Dad had a slightly different opinion!

That is a good idea Haystack. I'm not a technical expert so I don't know how difficult it would be to set up that facility.

In addition to the squelch, it would be good if you could stop certain people from reading your posts.

A bit like when, or whether, the treasury informed Wavy Dave?

========

If you publicise your opinion or "facts", you should have the courage to allow them to be challenged by all, they should be open all.

I know some little people like forming consensual cliques and have similar gang traits, but they can do that off line if the need each others "company".

that would be difficult as people could reregister as someone else and read the posts.

fred - i'm unsure whether i am happy or sad that i cause you pain :-)

Man,

It helps to remind me that I am still alive.

Is it me or does the cartoon at post 48474 look to be positioned higher at the LHS than it is at the RHS?

Hmmm?

Haze the man of straw:

Your knighthood is coming:

It is positioned that way where I got it from. I guess it was scanned crooked.
