Paying to have an argument

[Jacob]

I suppose you still do not understand, so I will try one last time. Access to the OT2 forum is no longer by request only. The rules changed and, aside from those who previously had access, the OT2 is now open only to UKW Supporters. There are no more requests for access.

I understand. A sneaky change of the rules without telling anyone. Perhaps time I dipped out entirely.

Don't do that. I drop in there from time to time to watch you and Robin, and one or two others nit-picking at each other, amusingly for me and, seemingly pointlessly for you guys. I don't post there myself, can't be bothered, but the entertainment every now and then is worth the occasional visit.

When I think about it, I seldom post in this relatively uncontentious section of the forum either, but I don't think that's anyone's loss. Slainte.

Pretty certain it was broadcast; mostly because I didn't opt in for free earlier, and when I saw it had become paid-for only I mildly regretted it. However, for my sanity it's probably better that I didn't.

Not wholly pointless for me: I find it really interesting trying to tease out the facts for my own satisfaction, whilst being urged on by @selectortone and @RobinBHM !

Glad to hear it!

Just say Brexit, that'll get them going

Brexit.

That's my one and only contribution to that conversation. I never discuss B-R-E-X-I-T.

So, said it. Are you salivating for the potential for entertaining controversy now, ha, ha. Slainte.

Some topics are too sensitive for a number of our members.
Personally I think we should be able to talk politics like grown ups, the general veto is unhealthy and undemocratic.
*** and religion don't seem to crop up often - maybe we are just past it!
Not "paying" by the way - it's quite free!

Free ***, sounds good to me.

Free ***, sounds good to me.

No such thing

Pint of bass, porkpie and a packet of crisps, *** and religion in that order and he get's it free it's got to be true Jacob say's so, have you ever known him to be wrong!!​

I was once - I think it was about 1983.

It was 1984

I can see why the mods want it to be supporter only, and it's not likely to be revenue. If you are a paid up supporter and get kicked out, you are unlikely to pay up again under a new name to get back in. If it's free, you just come back with a new account. In fact someone could have 2 identities all along and argue with themselves to gain attention.

Has anyone ever seen Jacob and Phil Pascoe in the same physical room at the same time ?

 

[baldkev]

Split personality?

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Yes. I got the nice half.

I'm not overly concerned, twitter is free and you can have lots of arguments there

Twitter is full of Jacobs, just look for anything with a Palestinian flag in the bio.

twitter is full of angry socialists.

Its ironic really, the people that claim to want a world better for everybody are the rudest most hateful people ever -especially on twitter

 

[Richard_C]

twitter is full of angry socialists.

Quantified evidence please.

 

[ScaredyCat]

angry socialists

You'll have to clarify if you mean the people who think that services should be publicly owned or you mean the people that think the should be privately owned but given public money. Both are socialism, but they're opposing sides.

[RobinBHM]
