I think it is a little better than it was.

A few of the worst transgressors don't seem to be spending as much time here.

"It's healthy that people are saying their piece here, instead of in one-liners all over the board for weeks and months on end."

That makes sense, but sifting through the thread might be a nightmare . I am enjoying the read though tbh   Smiley Smiley

After FD eats his battered illegal catch he only need skim through much of this thread to get the gist of it.  Smiley

True Herbert. I am off jetty fishing later today and tomorrow..it won't be illegal but it might well be battered - the more illegal it is , the better it tastes - it's true.  Smiley

lol. You think this thread is healthy? That's a bit of a joke. It's like eleven pages of the Breakfast Club on crack. Rather than working toward any sort of solution, you're all engaging in a circle jerk of self love and perpetuating and cementing your grievances.


What a lovely way to spend the weekend.

Just make sure they're not under-sized as per the rules.

FD puts his undersized ones head-to-tail and then batters them heavily as one fish fillet so as to avoid prosecution ... He does this at the jetty.  Cool

And yes ... Forbidden fruit tastes the best.  Smiley

I'm actually salivating for a fish lunch now ..

And you're participating also. Good to see you're enjoying yourself too.

Perhaps the issue could be resolved easily by giving a warning to the people who continually harass members and disrupt threads by posting personal insults.

There are too many members who have been taunted for too long by the same people.

Don't be a spoil sport ~ we haven't had so much fun in ages (with our pants and knickers on).

... and that's not healthy?

Have you ever been to a Group Therapy session organised by professional health workers and sponsored by the government at huge cost to the taxpayer?

Nothing's to stop you gate-crashing them one evening to tell them they're all participating in a 'circle-jerk'.

Or how about crashing into an AA meeting to tell them what a lot of wånkers they are?

It's going to be 43 degrees in Sydney out there today ... We could be doing worse than staying home and enjoying the air-conditioning.  Tongue

Thank you.

It really is as simple as that.

That there is an 11-page rant here is testimony to the fact that the moderators are not playing a proactive role in stamping out the persistent hecklers, which is something they should be doing unbidden, and as a more productive alternative to threatening to close this thread down.

The obvious and easiest will be totally  ignored. No that would be too easy and it might actually eliminate the whining in Feedback..we can't  have that can we, that might result in something along the lines of peace forum wide and less work for mod's.

That is not directed at any one mod..but it might be something to take on board by all mod's.


I remember when I had one troll that had sniped nastily at me for years on end- and then one day a mod ( Annie ) told him to pull his stupid head in- he then left me alone. I am grateful to her - proof that warning  pp does work. Warn 3 times and then ban.

Aaah, so Annie could be using her moderator time more productively than posting here to bitch-slap us about how wastefully we're spending our weekend here at FD's Ozpolitic site, and what a bunch of circle-jerkers we are... ? Cool

After 11-pages of 'circle-jerking' under the voyeuristic eye of Annie-get-your-gun, I'm going to need a long rest before we arrange a date, A.G.   Smiley

But don't come smelling of fish ...

I have found most of his remarks to be fairly mild in comparison to many and most of his posts to be humorous while very often making a valid point. He would be nowhere near my worst list. Many of us step over the line on the odd occasion and I have not noticed Greg doing any worse than most others. Just my view I do not pay a lot of attention to a number of topics or some discussions between some posters so I probably miss a lot.

You don't know half as much as you think you do, Mantra. You haven't a clue what action is taken against other members and it's none of your business.
