What's your favourite rant ?

[History]

Surely the debate highlights that people from Kintyre are able to engage in 'reasoned' debate (sometime heated)

The posts are just long lists intended to antagonise. That is not debate, reasoned or otherwise. By the way he is not from Kintyre.

Surely that epitomises living in a small close knit community?

Sheik you're not that wide off the mark in some of your comments but I find it annoying to think that the opinions of someone who does not "live in our small close knit community" could be seen as the opinions of locals.

Ionsaigh is out of order with his posting and although I agree with you regarding other forums where language and comments are tolerated it doesn't make it right for Kintyre.

History - do you believe there is NO-ONE in the whole of Kintyre who shares Ionnsaigh's views? And if he was born and bred in Kintyre, would he then be allowed to make them?

Apologies History I was talking about the debate in general which takes place in Speakers Corner, and there's been some crackers over the piece. I wasn't referring to Ionns lists, as you quite rightly point out they're not a debate, merely him casting 1,000 fishing lines off the end of the pier and hoping/praying for a bite.

History, " By the way he is not from Kintyre " - as neither the Glasgow Rangers Supporters from Campbeltown - are from Glasgow. Catch my drift mate.

[gizmo]

I doubt he would be praying.. .. I cant see him getting much joy from that direction

History, " By the way he is not from Kintyre " - as neither the Glasgow Rangers Supporters from Campbeltown - are from Glasgow.

And neither are the majority of Glasgow Rangers players at the moment.

Doesn't mean to say they shouldn't be in the team though .

[Lossit Lass]

well.....it would appear the mods' censorship is causing more contention then Ionns' post did (or would have)....ooops!! Maybe we should censor censorship


I don't think Speakers Corner should be removed, it's way too entertaining

Yes, agree. I remember reading something last year when someone posted something along the lines of saying you don't read everything in a newspaper and if, for example, you don't like sport, you don't read the sports section.

So if people don't like thinks going on in Speakers Corner just don't read it. I actually thought Ionnsaigh's rants were rather funny. It is clear that these are representative of him and not this forum.

Should re-phrase that - If you take offence to anything on here and you don't want to post about it, report it to the Mods and they will review it.

just want to clarify to everyone that Ship's ps was to the general audience, not directed at me. I wouldn't want anyone to mistakenly think I'm messin about behind the scenes

(Oh, & Ship, I can practically see your happy dance from here, knowing you don't have to deal with us anymore )

Sheik I'm sure there are some who would agree with him i just hope that they don't decide to come on here as he has done and list them and no I don't think if he was born and bred in Kintyre should he be allowed to make them.

On the point made elsewhere about banning him, personally I would not miss him but I think the Forum might

[Sheik Yir Erse]

.... personally I would not miss him ......

I would miss him History............. but that would just be with my first shot

just kidding Ionns, just kidding.
