Turns out I can't keep away

Glad to see you back, different perspectives on issues are always good to read, it's not much of a debate section without that.

Indeed, very true.

I agree.

I'm glad that you're back BBXX.

And if Politics ever gets you down, then there are fun threads like TIBB Strictly, TIBB Eurovision, and One Word Search to have a good time with on here.

In particular TIBB Strictly along with the Prediction League have been some of my favourite threads on TIBB over the last few years.

But welcome back BBXX.

You're good, don't even worry about it. Sometimes a little break away, or long break from the forum is good. I used to get deeply involved in Serious Debates on here, but it's just too stressful and jarring at times. It does effect you mentally, and regular SD'ers who say otherwise are lying. It's hard work.

The place is addictive, it can and WILL get to you at times, only a handful seem to hold it together for the most part.

I know you're not, but im a massive prat on here at times, but we all seem to move forward in the long run.

Like a lot have said, it's good to see you've reconsidered, because what would a forum even be without a differing of opinions.

[Glenn.]

Glad you’re back. I actually enjoy reading your posts. Very refreshing.

[BBXX]

Thanks you lot.

[Beso]

Embarrassing

[Glenn.]

He just be beating Parm in an argument somewhere for a response like that.

It would have been a shame for the bigots on this forum to chase away yet another decent member

Or at least come back for BB. I really enjoy reading what you've got to say on things, and I've learnt stuff from it.

That's even more embarrassing.

[Cherie]

If it weren't for you BBXX I wouldn't have known that the correct expression was trans woman....rather than transwoman every day is a school day, good to see you back

Embarrassment is such a pointless emotion, Beso. Don't waste your time with it

Glad you came back. Different perspectives are great. You would have been missed and I personally enjoy your posts

Yes there are Cool posts

Different perspectives are great, until they're not. And the mods on here delete your posts, because they don't like your perspective.

[Ninastar]

Don’t leave just because you have different view from a lot of people on here. It’s refreshing to see someone so passionate about their beliefs without being a total **** about it

If you leave then they only win. Even if you’re the last person in a room to say how you feel, you should be loud and proud for expressing yourself

[Jessica.]

If there was a possibility of deleting my account I would. I posted a lot of personal information here when I was young and even when I was still a minor and it's too much to do manually.

They will not listen though.

It's like North Korea here sometimes. I remember when there was an appeals process...

[Beso]

Please delete my account as well.

What gets my goat is I get banned from replying to threads if I argue in them..but my threads get closed if other people argue in it.


Certain members are being treated differently. No way would they close certain members threads. That would be an instant banning from the thread for the person disrupting those certain members threads. Not a 2nd thought is given to closing certain members threads though.


2tier moderation at its finest.
