Meanwhile, the levels of debate or reasoned argument:




I don't know if you seriously think that this is an intellectual debate that's being had, and maybe it was at the beginning, but these are just joke threads these days, and that's not because of any mythical "4 posters", but because of what your side is offering.

All you have in every post is to bleat about haters

you add nothing but anger and bitterness

try adding actual content:shrug:

Again dude, you're the only person in this thread throwing insults around. On a smaller forum, it isn't going unnoticed :smug:

actual content above your post

and look who are missing...

It would also be nice to hear why people DO like them....but we never do :laugh:

You missed my pride of britain post.

Well said, LT.

There is plenty of scope for people to give their opposing opinions, or at least say why they LIKE H&M, as Rusti pointed out.
H&M threads get many viewers. They are in Serious Debates and NEWS. H&M often put themselves in the NEWS. Harry’s book is NEWS.

As I said before, I’ll never understand why posters who say they have no interest open a thread only to tell other posters why they shouldn’t be posting in them. Not to post about the thread topic, but to mock and get personal with those who are interested and try to derail threads.

Someone who doesn’t dislike H&M is Annie K, who gives her own opinion and opposing views respectfully. A rarity. An example of how it is done.

It's a news story, I cant see whats to debate about it so what you are saying is pointless.:shrug:

Montecito Harry's Un awaited book is to be called Spare
 

I still like Harry .. plus you can’t knock him for falling in love with a gorgeous woman - he’s only human

What do you like about him?

There are lots of threads we all wish would have gone differently. Folks have been pointing out for years about how a certain poster has no interest in contributing to any threads other than trolling, and the forum powers weren't interested so I have no idea why you think these threads are a protected class now.

You're patting a dude on the back who brought trans people into practically every thread last night, for no reason other than to try and get a reaction, so instead of acting high and mighty, maybe realise that this is all this place is these days. I haven't insulted anyone (despite being insulted), and I haven't broken any forum rules, so maybe you all need to stop crying, post your own posts, and stop turning into Scarlett O'Hara every time someone who isn't one of your favourites, posts in the same threads as you.

There is no rule on Tibb that you can't put someone on ignore, or just ignore what someone you don't like says. It's really easy.

Right back at ya….and not only can you ignore people - you can ignore threads too. Unlike you, I don’t go into threads I have no interest in or no desire to get involved in just to tell posters who are interested that they shouldn’t be and insult them by childish name calling - like Southern Belles and Scarlett O’Hara's.
Grow up.
...and by the way, I would welcome debate from people who 'aren't my favourites' as you put it. I think of those people as 'thinking differently to the way I do' - that is what debate is all about. Sarky one liners aimed at posters to try and rile them, and ignoring the topic, kill debate.

It is also against the rules to take threads off topic.

:wavey:

It used to be. Unfortunately it appears not to be enforced anymore.

:clap1:

well said Jet

I responded positively to LT in THIS thread. I don't follow him or anyone else around to see what they have posted elsewhere before I can agree with them on a different thread.
Heavens above. :bored:

Well said jet.

Welcome debate on what? Every single one of these threads has been exactly the same, with exactly the same type of comments

Again, the rules have been laid pretty clearly over the last couple of years by the powers that be in relation to what is allowed on here, so from my pov, there is nothing wrong with following them, which is all I do. I post where I like, about what I like, and when I like. The problem isn't mine to get over. As soon as the forum allowed others to have no interest in posting their own comments or contributing in any way in other SD threads, then the rules were set. I'm sorry if you don't like that, but you only see it when it's posters you don't like and ignore it when it comes from those that want to tell you how good your posts are.

Why am I posting sarky one liners, and yet it's crickets when others you like are actually throwing actual insults around? Please report anything you think is an insult of mine in here, because then mods/admin will read back though and see exactly what happened.


All you had to do was carry on posting your posts, but you couldn't, and now this thread is on it's way to being closed again, too, which is probably the aim, so the same group of you can cry about other posters again.

Seriously, post where you want about what you want, and who cares where others post?

What is a 40oz and is this a real excerpt because it sounds like parody

:nono: Bowling is an artform

Well if it is from his book he'll be a laughing stock ~ i doubt it is though.

40oz is a big bottle of beer. Known to be drunk mostly in "hoods"

And yes, it's parody.

he likes to bowl and drink

i wish you haterz would cut him some slack??
