What's your favourite rant ?

[A Horse called Juan Face]

My favourite rant would be that nothing works in this country anymore.
The country seems awash with managers, buerocrats, regulation & legislation.

There are less & less people doing anything useful and/or productive.
Everything has to be managed or regulated ... everything.
Since people at the highest level can't failed to have noticed this basic truth, it must be assumed that nothing works any more by design. (incompetence doesn't enter the equation).

That you can pay people less simply by allowing them them a pseudo-impressive job title.

Oooh, you're so brave. Actually, I think you're just a runt.

Is that the correct spelling for runt ?

I WANNA READ IONNS' RANT LIST!!!

[Mod4]

Seems that if you read a list of 200 or 300 rants by anyone, you have to realize beforehand that surely there will be something in there that will offend you or you don't agree with, especially if you are person who might be easily offended, so you might want to pass over the list.

Personally, I think censorship is usually more offensive and incendiary than what is being censored.

Rant over.

I think it is fair to say that a number of comments on the list were HIGHLY offensive. Perhaps staying on the other side of the world you will miss a number of these.

In total agreement ,certain comments were as you say highly offensive,as Ionnsaigh would be well aware. If said comments were directed against African Americans/Asians/Pakistanis/Muslims etc. he would already be banned from the forum.

There is no excuse for abusive religous comments on a public forum.

@ moderator. Why not edit the offending parts of ionnsaighs posts. I bet he'll never remember what he wrote anyway

Malky

ionnsaigh was asked to edit them himself, he issued a blunt "NO". So mod9 took action.

Finally, I thought you'd stepped back from moderating? You should let the moderators do it

Now you are questioning the new mods who were asked and put in place to ease your stress. If you want your job back then you can have mine..

[Malky]

I didn't think I was questioning, just offering an alternative route. But if you see it that way, point taken.

Perhaps true. I guess I live more in a place that people would roll their eyes and consider the source, call him an a****** and not bother with him. It would be more a reflection of him than the forum.

By the way, I did tell someone when I posted that I wanted to see how soon it would be before I was reminded that I wasn't a local. Seems to always happen when someone doesn't like what I say, even if my point is valid no matter where I'm from.

Yes, true. But why tolerate when you can avoid it?

Now, now, Bobbie, don't take it to heart. Nothing to do with local, it was to do with missing some of the references in the postings that I guess could be missed if you don't stay on the west coast of Scotland. Nothing personal.

Firstly you have to ask yourself is it Mod 9 or mod 4, or mod 7 - not sure who I'm dealing with here - the whole gang of you, or just the one?
Are these concerns justified ? As it seems I have been accused charged and found guilty by refusing to delete some posts.
Wither these posts are deemed offensive or not - remains debatable. Surely I should enjoy established legal right - in that if I stand accused - then at the very least - I could reasonably expect to know the charge. In other words be specific, so I can evoke my democratic right of reply.
How do you know what these lists where - how can you attribute - my lists with personal dislikes or hate. You don't know me well enough for that. As far as the local individual ( local Bobbie local ) that could take serious concern from a legacy, the question begs - what the hell are you talking about - and more interestingly how did you come by this information ?
For the accused - it brings into legitimacy to question - your own relationship with the local.

Perhaps you need to read this again before you post, that is of course if you have ever read it in the first place.

I am Mod 9, th eother mods can speak for themselves too, but we are in agreement on this i can assure you.

How many mods does it take to change a light bulb ? See when you all have a wee dig in - that's when I feel bullied.
