# As I understand it, and I may be wrong,
'Iron' is slang for gay because they're "As bent as an iron bar"

Not rhyming slang, but still a Larndarn expression.

# That does bug me a teensy bit
It's an image challenge, the challenge being doing what it says in the brief. Why mark it as a challnege entry if it doesn't even do that? It's like filling in a crossword with random squiggles.

(I'm not refering to this image here by the way - although I have no idea what it means so maybe I am :D)

# and then followed by a lot af nasty put downs aimed at new members
by cliquey backslapping arseholes...... or was that what you were on about?

# I concur
and if you wish to put me in that clique than I am honoured. Yet flabbergasted as I'm one of the most unclicky cunts here.

Can't shoot the messenger.

# no,
not at all! I apologise If I inferred otherwise. I'm only putting my point across ( I thought that you were roughly saying a similar thing although not as agressively)
(, Wed 2 May 2007, 21:51, archived)
# I think the problem there
is that the "cliquey" members are the ones that care about the site the most and are trying to defend the place from the trolls that are let back on every Tuesday as well as the innocent new kids.
But by swearing at them it just makes things worse.
(, Wed 2 May 2007, 21:51, archived)
# not sure about that....
I've seen a lot of new members being called cunts etc even though they genuinely have made mistakes and not trolling.....People really should employ a little artistic license and accept the fact that what other people post isn't everyone's cup of tea. Not everyone is an adept photoshop user and I think that there are a lot of regulars who should take this on board.

You are correct about the swearing I think, it turns new people into aggressive trolls with revenge on their minds .

Caring about the site and being cliquey are separate things in my opinion,whether you believe it or not, there are a lot of people who are agressively putting down people merely because of their lack of shopping skills....that's a fact, as far as my own shit is concerned....I really coldn't care less but I have seen a lot of tuesday efforts being treated really harshly

Edit:personally, I try not to put down other peoples work, there's nothing wrong with a bit of constructive critiscism but you must admit that there are regular bullies on this forum.....that aint good at all. *end rant*
