For the record as it were, I'm not a 'Daily Mail' reader, I also despise the 'right' AND 'left' sides of 'politics'- which are two sides of the same coin to me.
Regarding my 'Grow Up' rant on here, I get pissed off at the general pontification and evangelical zeal with which some folk shower themselves in and then proceed to drone on in long paragraphs, expecting everyone else to be in exactly the same mind-set.
Also, when you get people on here, spouting the 'ALL coppers are bastards' approach, it's exactly the same attitude as saying 'ALL muslims are terrorists/ALL blacks are muggers/ALL chavs are cunts' etc.
It's a double-standard that is rife on this forum, which really does make me laugh out loud at times!
Regarding the 'biscuit board', this was a forum onto which I was invited to join about three or four years ago, to take part in the banter etc., only then to be surprised to find that it was a ridiculous and childish bitch-fest about certain decent people on HH who I like.
Maybe the f.b.b has changed since then, I haven't been back there and don't wish to return.
I don't think you needed to apologise though, after all, what you commented about, was said on an 'exclusive' forum and not on here!
But, if it makes you feel better, then apology accepted.

As a pleb, I am astonished to learn of this sinister "biscuit board" and the nature of some of the discussions thereon. This puts a lot of things into perspective; such as a number of contributors appearing as intolerant elitist self-appointed elders.....but this secret board certainly undermines the liberal and open attitude which the forum tries to portray.
Ho-ho, I never cease to be amazed by this forum!

I've seen this happen on forums before. A discussion is on one forum, yet on another board certain people involved with discussion on the first forum are saying 'did you see what such and such said' and 'I'm going to say such and such to so-and-so'.
People big each other up and when they re-appear on forum one their opinions are turbo-boosted.
And of course, there's the inevitable name-calling that always seems to happen between the clique, yet never appears on the more public forum. I've seen it on Astronomy groups and music groups before. Probarbly because I tend to join loads of forums and browse lots, hardly posting.
I browse here a lot, but hardly post. By the way, I think Mr Tones nailed it in his 22.20 post. Third paragraph.

They bitch on astronomy groups?
Deary me.
Suppose the internet is just an extension on real life anyway.
If that is going on then I find it in part regretful and even moreso hysterical.
I'm not into secret service stuff, never was even at school, despite all the invitations I got to go over to the dark side.
Anyway I'm in danger of becoming mired in negativity again, so arses up:-)

Abso-bloody-lutely. Factions break off, you get leaders, followers, cliques, outcasts, bullies, the whole thing. It's fascinating. And yes, even on Astronomy groups I've seen people plotting to put the knife into people on another astronomy board.
I've seen people double post, with different names so they can agree with themselves too. Amazing.

Oh FFS would not surprise me.
I've another persona floating about here, but I'm only *me* now becasue I got sick of the name and wanted to disassociate myself from certain fings.
Hopefully *shanshee_allures* will drop off the screen soon.
BTW I think when I'm signed in here the other thing automatically sings in too. Can I kill it off?
