Gentlemen, don't fight here, this is the war room. — fdrake

Just wanted you to know I did recognize and appreciate your reference.

:rofl: What phrase? Self righteous?

Gentlemen, don't fight here, this is the war room. — fdrake

No fight involved as no contest imo. Dr Strangelove is under cover so he don't care anyway!

Stop. I am the law.

I banned @Varnaj42 for low quality and religious spam.

:roll: Low quality spam.

Claims to reason and political compromise while insisting on unsupported opinions and admiration for fascists. Fairly easy decision.

How childish of you! Reminds me of 'The Emperor's New Clothes.'

When I log on in the morning I check the Bannings thread just to make sure I'm still a member. Phew.

Banned @Ying for PMed abuse in response to attempts to moderate. A long-term member and I wish him good luck but we are not going to put up with that.

Banned Ying — Baden

Too bad. He didn't show up often, but when he did, he usually had interesting things to say.

Showing my ignorance here, but what is PMed?

Sent Private Messages. The messages were between him and another Mod btw, but it was raised in the mod forum.

Banned @Andrew4Handel for consistently evangelising borderline hate speech. This is after two formal warnings and in-thread interventions.

Banned Andrew4Handel — fdrake

Always sad to see an old-timer go.

No criticism of moderators intended.

What have you done with the real T Clark?

What have you done with the real T Clark? — DingoJones

Two answers. Pick one.

Answer 1 - He is on vacation on Cape Cod, where the internet has not been installed yet. I'm just filling in.

Answer 2 - Buzz off fuzz nuts.

Me too. Sadly you are still here :D

:chin: ….option 2.

:chin: ….option 2. — DingoJones

Good choice.

Me too. Sadly you are still here :D — I like sushi

Farewell @Andrew4Handel A troubled soul. A decent chap most of the time I found, but became a broken record on the one issue.

Closing this again.

I banned @introbert for being mostly unintelligible.

He seemed to create more threads than the Coats Group!

Yes, that was part of the problem.

Nice Paisley reference.

In the context of modern ethical speciousness, your answer is glib and uncomfortable.
:scream:

Nice Paisley reference. — Jamal

The question is, is @TClark related to these earlier Clarks?
"In 1755 James and Patrick Clark began a loom equipment and silk thread business in Paisley, Scotland. In 1806 Patrick Clark invented a way of twisting cotton together to substitute for silk that was unavailable due to the French blockade of Great Britain. He opened the first plant for manufacturing the cotton thread in 1812. In 1864 the Clark family began manufacturing in Newark, New Jersey, U.S., as the Clark Thread Co."

Paisley is full of radges like Clarky, so I wouldn’t be surprised.

We can all probably trace our ancestry back to a Paisley buddie, who has an ancestor from Ireland, who has an ancestor from Africa. I have not heard or used the term 'radge' for too many years. It's a brilliant word! :grin: Going out for beers tonight and I now intend to call everyone I meet, a radge, even the quiet, unassuming, gentle looking folks! A&E! Save a space for me!
