Stop closing down my innocuous threads please
Theyâre not innocuous. Have a think.

If you think wishing death on someone is innocuous then I think you possibly need to either look that word up in the dictionary, or, have a word with yourself.

I think itâs the moderatorsâ anti-Australian bias.

Something up, m9?
Did you get her mixed up with the Conservative councillor for Dunmow who has the same name?

Never really tolerated threads that are just people being abusive like that unless, you know, itâs Bono, Tom Cruise, a Tory or someone like that: by that I mean a person where itâs clear that they cause a hyperbolic reactionary response, and so anyone reading the thread will accept this.
Having a pop at Sue Barker via the medium of a thread isnât right. You could have just posted it as a response in the Wimbledon thread and youâd be okay but likely would have got a shed load of âfuck offâ in return.
Your Becker thread was just pure weird. If you meant it to be about something specific then you failed and what I was reading was in full on Nuts / Vic Reeves rubbing his thighs territory so I canned that one.

For the record, the Becker one was amusing to me because she really really looks like him.
Thats why I wrote âhmm slight resemblenceâ in there.
Howâs that âlist of cuntsâ thread giong? 200 replies by now?
Bin this bellend off
You also linked to an article rather than just posting the pic, hence I wasnât 100%. I wasnât specifically closing the thread @ you, but at what it became. Iâm not sure how you expected the thread to go, mind. Maybe just a 0-reply Theo classic, no idea. I mean child looks like parent, shocker⌠But it went creepy it got locked.
Canât really comment on the âlist of cuntsâ thread. These things arenât equivalent, particularly when comparing how they exist in the implicit context of a list of topics. Do you mean this thread?
Looking through the first names appear to match up to my point above re the sort of person who youâd expect to see dealt this sort of abuse too.
I mean not really inclined to, no. I donât recall Gorkyâs being an awful user in the past etc.
While I agree with the threads being closed because of bellendry, this is a bit of a weird line of argument about who itâs OK to have a pop at. Feels a bit âYou can call anyone a cunt if theyâre actually a cunt.â

That is both true but not actually what I said, which was:
a person where itâs clear that they cause a hyperbolic reactionary response, and so anyone reading the thread will accept this
People get very angry about Bono. If someone started a thread âBono can get fuckedâ itâs not the same as âSue Barker can get fuckedâ. But equally I canât easily write you a complete set of forum rules that cover that. You and I both know those two threads are different things and, given itâs Wimbledon, thereâs obviously an argument that Bono not being in the news might well mean that thread would get the chop today but I am speaking in generalities.
I donât think people want this forum to be policed at some exceptionally rigid level where all threads are killed dead.
But all of this said, it would be nice if people were nicer. I think thereâs a huge tonal difference between that Twats thread and Gorkyâs Sue Barker one. I think most people on here would agree.
If they donât Iâll happily can the old Twats thread and consider being more ruthless about these things in the future.
Youâre telling us that in that thread itâs only people who invite it?
if gorkys says sorry for wishing murder on someone then thatâs as far as this needs to go right?
Hmm. Still canât get behind your reasoning for that but w/e.
note that I do think Bono can get fucked obviously.
