Have you considered all the options
and satisfaction which a life on /talk may offer? I believe this level of flippancy forms their staple diet...

Just a thought :-)

Yes indeedy
I am horrifically flippant what with this being a deadly serious discussion board and all. I really do apologise for breaking away from, now, what was it we were discussing again? The tube strike? The "victory" for the BNP?

the potential suicide of a fellow B3tan as reported by a usually rather stoic, reasonable and unflappable member of the group..?

Err, Hairpot..?
What you talking about?

I'd say something here

Hang on,
No offence, but I thought you were a troll :\
( Cawl, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 14:20, Reply)

Ha,
don't you start ;-)

True, I don't often have much to add of any value except some subtle piss taking, but I'd love to see examples of this so called 'trolling' I'm apparently so good at...

Oh how I love this place
and dream of the day I gain yours and Kaol's acceptance...

Right, I'd best put my toys back in the pram and do some work.
(MrOli is ugly, but in the morning you will be sober, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 14:31, Reply)

Who's Kaol?

( Cawl, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 14:33, Reply)

Wears Kaol..?
Shorely? ;-)

If I were you I wouldn't
bother about whether or not me and Mr. K. accept you, I would just remember where you are.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 14:34, Reply)

I hadn't forgotten where I was
Though I think you'd forgotten that sometimes there's a real person on the other end of the pixels...

(You might even notice I joined in a little after we found out that everything was ok and VC wasn't about to discover a body)

Anyway, I'm going to gracefully back out of a fight which isn't mine.

I don't want to have to go through this again. Apart from the stuff up there about KFC, this wasn't at all interesting.

I think it's a meat puppet
but I don't know. They've popped up a few times, mainly to deliver a rude line. But they were arguing on beckys behalf during the pantsgate affair.

it is a particularly amusing meat puppet
funnier than mine at any rate.

I think he deserved all the grief he got
because he put her in such a shitty situation.
The fact she also got annoyed was unfortunate, and I offered her actual advice and help via gaz which is much more apropriate than in the replies.

Yeah, that was good, nice one mate :-)
I was just having a very, very rare "actually slightly offended at B3ta" moment when I saw Al get told to fuck off over something distasteful he said and then start a thread to milk it.

I'm sure I'll get over it ;-)

^ This, this, a thousand times THIS.
I'm so fucking livid right now I'm surprised I can speak. It's all very well to joke about Maddie and so on but this was one of our own, a friend of mine. Next thing we'll all be calling one another fags and telling women "tits or GTFO". This should not - and will not - be treated as funny.

What I love about these self-appointed guardians of the internet...
Is that they say things like this, but back them up with a little smiley, so they don't appear utterly Kaoltarded.
(Slip Digby is a meat puppet, Tue 9 Jun 2009, 14:38, Reply)

To me that just makes them more Kaoltarded
