Califrau!

I have to make clear that I am neither jealous nor enraged. I'm big-headed enough to feel fairly comfortable with my online persona being my personality exactly so you either take it or leave it.

I just think it's a strategic mistake to pinpoint an 'official clique' ... and I'll say again I have no issue with any of those mentioned and actually count them as friends.

oh and 'Horton hears a Who' is shite .. avoid like that plague

i mind everything being deleted. let it all stand, i say. we're grown-ups, we can handle it. if someone says something vile they just look vile. but to my knowledge i've not complained about it to MNHQ, just vociferously on here.

BUMPER ARE YOU THE BWA??!!!! oh how i miss that photo...

I am going to disguise myself as a newbie and see if you let me in.

Ds was reading the article over my shoulder and asked if the pirate sex thread was "reported" so I had to explain that we are grown ups and thus allowed to talk about sex.

I am going to use [groin] at every opportunity from now on, as a tribute to BoysOnToast.

Aitch that's a good point. As well as being irritating to see a load of and after a deleted posts, I think an offensive post does more harm to the poster in the long run if it stands. Having said that, there are libel laws to skip around, unfortunately. For the record, anyone can call me names and I won't demand their deletion. I may even agree...

It took me about 5 minutes to decipher this, but I think I've got the gist. Yes, will email you , snigger.
