Despairing Orgers, are on the verge of leaving?

There is the ignore option, so I don't really see any joy in him being suspended.

Fair comment but a thread can still be ruined by people wading in and wandering off topic and onto the same, favourite, old tune, even if that person is on ignore.

I have no desire to see fred banned from the org, I tend not to read much of his input now as it is usually very predictable and inflexible to other opinions. If it provides a ball for others to have a five set tennis match (all tie breakers) with, then I think those who wish to play the game should join in and then simply put their racquet down once they stop enjoying it. Instead we usually get a lot of griping.

Maybe a virtual boxing ring would be preferred?

It is well accepted that the Government Elections in Afghanistan were fraudulent, The Afghan "president" has even stated that the UN were involved in this fraud

I agree absolutely and so does my geranium.

So, "stream of consciousness prose" now means "slevers"?

(Don't you just love the co-option of our language? )

[Boozeburglar]

Whilst I wus walking along the banks o the Thurso wrapped wi ma conscious thought of how we played in the water and jumped up on the shore in our skins but still out of the same and crawlin up the bank into the bliss where our hearts were warmed on the fire of sunshine and love into the pub we fell and crossed the old man's hand wi gold fer his medicine and wended our way North to the light. Always in the light as our spirits lifted and the call came to celebrate one more time again like a salmon fighting that last weir, on and on and on and on like a meditation endless and still ended, testified and recorded. Gone and forgotten before.

Are we so immature that we are reduced to mud slinging like children?

Why is it that when we see something we do not like we have to retailate? Agreeing to disagree keeps everything civial and its what grown ups do.

Too many dummies being spit out...... For the orgers that can't keep them in...Learn to!

You are sounding like a mother now! You may have to repeat it a few times for some of this bunch but it will be good practice for you.

Do you keep a "little black book" on all orgers? or just Fred

Do you keep a "little black book" on all orgers? or just Fred

Well, in a word; 'no'. basically what happens is that someone will post something and I'll say to myself "hmm, I seem to remember he/she gave it differently, i.e. like Fred saying Iran had not started a war in 100 years (or something like that). Well that rang a bell and I do a search and find that - for example he had said 2,000 years or 200 years -very minor points..

I seemed to get the impression that Fred had said something about bullying,so, spend a bit (I've got all the time in the world ) doing another search and come up with the oft repeated 'bullying' comment, which looked as those he was kicking the backside out of it.. Similarly when someone says Fred was always respectful towards fellow orgers - it kinda rang a bell..

This is not just Fred, but anyone....

And anyway can't help it - it's me part-time interest..!

Israelis may be able to sleep safe (The billions of military aid that USA gives them helps with that option)
How about all the people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan who do not receive military aid from USA?

Tuesday, March 30, 2010,17:23 New Delhi Mar 30: Air Chief Marshall PV Naik on Tuesday, Mar 30 said that India has expressed its concern over the US Military aid to Pakistan to the Obama administration


.... US is scheduled to provide Pakistan with 18 of the Block 52 F-16s, Oliver Hazard Perry Class frigate by winter and Shadow Drones later this year, in addition to F-16 combat jets, air-to-air missiles and other equipment worth millions of dollars which Pakistan has been receiving as military aid.

So are you suggesting that Pakistan, aided by USA is committing genocide,
or are weapons given to Pakistan Military finding their way to Taleban?

After all it would not after all be the first time that America has armed the Taleban.

Thread taken off topic and now closed.

If more threads are going to be hijacked by the same usual suspects then we'll have to start issuing infractions.

Anfield, you complained that it was difficult to find topics to discuss in the general forum, it's made it even harder if a non related topic is tagged on to the end of another thread.
