So I come back to find that you have deleted my thread asking why my Santa thread was deleted.

Of course it was a thread about a thread, it was asking a question about the thread.

Wtf else is one supposed to do?

I put it in site stuff.

It was also a really nice friendly thread full of poetry and laughs. Why why why why was it deleted? What the hell is going on there?

Secondly, if one wants to talk about something, and that something has been deleted purely owing to others mischief, does that mean that one is never to talk about that subject again??

How mad is that?

Pag gets credited with all sorts.

I was team PARD too.

Polite and reasonable discourse - as coined by paggy. Haven't seen her around much lately :(

Agree curlew. I think there are too many deletions.

After I've watched some programmes about Nelson Mandela, I am going to go out of my way to find a feisty thread from a few years back which would not be allowed to stand now. To prove that its all gone very bland round here lately.

Polite and reasonable discourse.

Something we should all concentrate on.

look! the first part of Part III is strangely apt:

Here is a place of disaffection
Time before and time after
In a dim light: neither daylight
Investing form with lucid stillness
Turning shadow into transient beauty
With slow rotation suggesting permanence
Nor darkness to purify the soul
Emptying the sensual with deprivation
Cleansing affection from the temporal.
Neither plenitude nor vacancy. Only a flicker
Over the strained time-ridden faces
Distracted from distraction by distraction
Filled with fancies and empty of meaning
Tumid apathy with no concentration
Men and bits of paper, whirled by the cold wind
That blows before and after time,
Wind in and out of unwholesome lungs
Time before and time after.
Eructation of unhealthy souls
Into the faded air, the torpid
Driven on the wind that sweeps the gloomy hills of London,
Hampstead and Clerkenwell, Campden and Putney,
Highgate, Primrose and Ludgate. Not here
Not here the darkness, in this twittering world.

exit the great joy of hurling ideas into the void on the internet is that some of them will take root. Or fornicate replicate, as mildred has said.

Oh - and I see Mildred has said a lot more just now. Which is also v. true.

"Love list"? I might pop with joy!

Artex please do more gang shapes! I'm now thinking of a video for this thread which is along the lines of "I got 99 problems but Santa ain't one."

ExitPursuedByAChristmasGrinch · 05/12/2013 22:29

I forgotten what PARD stood for.

HoneyDragon · 05/12/2013 22:27

I'm not team Hully.

I'm Team PARD. that got fucked up the bum, tied in a sack and thrown down the river though, that did.

My ability to debate is hindered by typing on an iPhone. Hence the brevity of my posts. Yours are long. Xmas Envy

youretoastmildred · 05/12/2013 22:26

oh right, yes, sorry, it does have punctuation on it. I just forgot about it.
