I think it's a bit ridiculous but understandable given the circumstances. All TV networks tread carefully to avoid any mention of a topic even closely related to any kind of terrorist attack.

I remember an episode of Doctor Who was once edited to remove the beheading of a robot while the ISIS beheadings of journalists were in the news.

I thought Windows Vista is the worst example of PC history.

I can see it so don't know why you can't but have posted above.
People are being asked if they can quote the article, or the key aspects of the article, on their op to make it easier for people on phones and so people can discuss the topic without having to leave tibb etc.

Deleted some posts in here, I'd rather people didn't use my thread which was a suggestion not a rule to bait people. I'm going to leave Withanos post above incase Brillo didn't understand what I meant but I understand that if people are posting threads with their phones it would be awkward to copy part of the article to the OP as well

These threads are seriously starting to clutter up this section of the forum, when articles are of the same subject as multiple other threads can you post them in the same threads already there, thanks Brillo

Now THAT is an example of something that clearly needed to be said.
Let's just hope the advice is adhered to!

When my 'mod' approval comes through LOOKOUT!!!!! I'll be sorting stuff out big-time and driving bigotry and hate from these parts lickety-split!

You do understand she was talking about threads on the same subject matter being confined to one thread. She wasn't banning threads unpopular with some or expressing any personal views on them.

Grow up and stop making wild assumptions! What about your own bigotry by the way - maybe you should keep that in check rather than dictate to others.

Sounds like you would like a 'licence' to practise your double standards and promote an entirely one-sided, biased site to fit your own agenda lickety-split - and salivating at the thought!! Sounds real professional!!!

Where do i even come anywhere near suggesting that Josy was 'banning' any kind of threads ? Just plucked another assumption out of thin air ? It was very clear what you were being told to stop doing and that has to be a good thing (for us at least!).

It'll be wonderful now that you're restricted to posting your laughable 'PC' and Anti-Muslim threads all in the same post. Much easier to just ignore and avoid when they're all in one place (i will call it 'The Bin').
It'll make for a much tidier forum too when we don't have to deal with 50 new threads on the same tedious drivel every week.

You jump to an (incorrect) assumption of how i chose to unerstand a very clear request from Josy and then tell me to ''Grow up'' for making that assumption that i didn't in any way make. Just you choosing to use your warped powers of mis-comprehension yet again (if i could be arsed to count the number of times you've assumed things incorrectly or just jumped to false conclusions i'd be in high numbers by now!).

And PLEASE let me know about my ''own bigotry''! I'd love to hear this. Might be worth making sure you know what 'Bigotry' means to avoid using it incorrectly again.

Again, you understand that this applies to everyone not just me, much as you would like it to, as someone who believes views not liked by you should be shut down.

Again, anyone who calls you out on your own bigotry towards British women who dare to speak out against the lack of respect for female equality laws in this country from some Muslim women simply doesn't under the meaning of the word bigot!

My mistake perhaps - after all you couldn't possibly be considered bigoted in your views as you are always right or so you imply!

Because whilst 8 was horrible, 8.1 was fine (so long as you used something like Start8 to give it a proper start menu instead of that massive horror).

Vista straight up did not work, just broken . Should never have been released.

Well I wouldn't know, it looked awful from the get go so like I said I jumped ship, I got a new one for gaming last year though and it's quite good, windows 10 I think it is, still quite complicated, don't know why they ever changed from good old XP tbqh
