Don't be silly, and let bygones be bygones. You two are like bunch of wimmins interested in gossip! 
Oh, sh7t! Have I just been misogynistic?
Vape it, vape it!
PS: Don't take above^ in Jonathan Ross's accent, by the way.
Or I'll be in deeper trouble than the one whose post got vaped before.

Just noticed that in my post #410 the surname of Dr. Brian *** reads as starred i.e. ***, if you aren't logged in. Same happens with Ed *****' surname here on SN. That's very strange, as neither ***** nor *** are swear words, as we know. If they were, why would they have them as their surnames, eh? I wonder is Sandra Bullock's surname also comes up as all starred for non-logged readers. I shall log off to check that.
Homophobia/racism/misogyny all good, try and time the name of a renowned physicist (or less popular politician) and the swear filter stops play.

Anyway, you seem to enjoy displaying this sort of behaviour of late, so carry on. Whatever makes you happy.

Have to say it was Stu's reply to your thread in policy that really got me looking at this place in a different light. When it was just an issue of the membership of the site then I just ignored it but to see one of the site owners come forward and say "well we could be more strict on these things but we can't be bothered" (in essence). That says much more about Scoobynet to me.

Seeing abrupt thread lockings in order to curb public discussion and to avoid answering the query were also pretty unsightly (sorry for using 'pretty' and 'unsightly' words together, but you know what I mean).
It reminded me of the 'community has spoken' freak show
times. However,
Jus tin case.............

Those who are unhappy with how the site is run why don't you leave and find somewhere else to post? A bit like not liking Top Gear so stop watching it.
Seems there are way too many people happy to knock something but carry on making use of it.

People can be heard and talked with, at least, you know. Restorative work can take place than destructive order of 'fekk off if you don't like it'. If that doesn't work at all due to ideological differences, then of course people can either shut up, gladly leave, get banned (for causing havoc, if they do) or carry on posting. IMO.

Why do people need to leave, if they are not happy here?? That's another cop out, to impose this 'leave if you don't like', on people!

I didn't suggest you don't complain or raise the issues, but if you do so and still don't like the outcome surely it's a simple solution, either accept it or move on somewhere else.

Because if you really dislike how something is and you don't agree with the answers to any complaints then don't have anything to do with it any more.

As I say, they can either put up or shut up, moan forever or find the pastures new. It's not that internet surfing is just about SN anymore, is it.
I also see why some people don't get heard. It's to do with 'whatever wrong I do is right', but 'anything wrong they do isn't'. That's not right in itself.
Anyway. Enough of that.
Any news on Jeremy Clarkson?

People say things for effect ,dont mean they mean it . Obviously its impossible to know for truth on the internet.
yo could spend all day and all night sorting out whos said what to whom
Should the bbc be held accountable or not is the matter in hand
im still pretty sure its bbc not clarkson

I guess the BBC has enough on their plate sorting out the situation with Clarkson without taking on more litigation!
Or perhaps the BBC realised they were right and that it is an all or nothing deal with those three!

Interesting that they were allowed to refuse; I thought that would put them in breach of contract?

The fact the producer didn't even make a complaint shows what an utter ar$e the BBC are making of themselves. Yes discipline Clarkson for his behaviour but he was the one who owned up to his own bad behaviour as opposed to anyone making an official complaint so all this money being wasted on an official investigation is just pathetic. I hope figures are made public on just how much money the BBC have wasted on this debacle, both through an investigation and in the 3 episodes not now being aired.
