Meh, my views are a matter of record.
Repetition would be tedious. My personal bug bear ATM is quite a few of the really nice/funny/interesting people, hardly coming on any more and then being surprised that when they do it's a bit shit.

Now, I'm not having a shot at anybody in particular, here. I'm only replying to you as you're the latest responder
What tends to happen though is the one of the Trio of Hate will post something. Might be funny, might not. Then one of the hate groupies will make some snide comment. What will then happen is either:

Trio of Hate responds huffily. Tedious argument ensues, clogs up, then kills thread.

or:

Trio of Hate makes witty, but hurtful retort. Tedious argument ensues, clogs up, then kills thread.

It's all just a bit dull and I wish people would just ignore stuff they don't like.

the picking on is wholly mutual. normally i would say if you don't like it, don't read it. but yesterday was an exception 'cos there was f*ckall left to read!

No it's not.

it's not mutual
as in every person gets the same share of shit, but it's not accurate to say that what kroney calls "the trio" never starts it. the starting it -v- being started upon is pretty much mutual!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 1 Sep 2011, 11:22, Reply)

I simply mean that there have been many occasions where at least one of the trio has started to wind up another board member for no good reason whatsoever.
No provocation, nothing.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 1 Sep 2011, 11:23, Reply)

oh yeah
then i am agreeing with you! kroney seems to imply that they never start it. which is not true.

but they don't always start it. this is very true.

Ahh, fair enough.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 1 Sep 2011, 11:27, Reply)

I agree.
I'm attempting to keep to a policy of ignoring those three, with the exception of Al when he's not being hateful which does happen. Works for me.

he used to be lovely
witty and just slightly surreal. then it got a real edge to it, somehow.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 1 Sep 2011, 11:22, Reply)

Rather than "Trio of Hate"
I think I might instead use "Hatriad". It trips off the tongue better.

Some bloke on the radio this morning discussing rioters
described the section of society with no prospects as the Precariat, which I quite liked. Presumably a portmanteau of precarious and proletariat.

Yeah, i'd write him off as a cunt
but Blousie, who opinion I trust claims he's a sweety really, so the jury's out til I meet him in person.

i'm not sure that being nice in person is enough
to make up for his efforts to be really intensely personally horrible, but it might be. you can let me know.

I don't think ihe's down for Monty's Bash, so who knows. Interestingly Rory is down for the Pier, but I bet the little shit won't show.

If he does, push him over the edge.

I think Rory is one of the best posters ever.

that's not to say he can't be a cunt for no reason, however!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 1 Sep 2011, 11:49, Reply)

I think I'm in the bleeding heart faction.
It's not that I want everything to be sweetness and light all the time, but basically I don't want anyone to actually get offended and I think there's more to this place than consistent cuntyness.

While Chompy seems a horror of a human being, you can at least have a conversation with him. Al can occasionally be worth talking to. Rory, cold easily be replaced by a bit of software that spews occasionally funny bile.

This is because you hate everything

Al won't be going to the bash.
As he's under the impression that there'll be people there he won't get along with.

It's worth pointing out that he's been diplomatic enough not to name names.
( Kroney, Thu 1 Sep 2011, 11:35, Reply)

i don't buy that
al is far too intelligent to make that kind of judgment on people he's never met, even if he has read their stuff on here. we all know this place ISN'T REAL.

more like he is a bit bored with b3ta or is a bit worried about stuff he has said - he has gotten worse recently - imho.

He has, yes. I won't deny that.

I will say that when I've met Al
he's been funny and nice. So make of that what you will
