Why Are Certain Abers Allowed To Highjack Certain Threads?

[anotheoldgit]

Today I had the need to ask the Editor to remove a perfectly reasonable thread appertaining to the recent riot taking place on a street in London.

From the off set this thread was high-jacked by certain members who obviously have taken a dislike to not only me personally, but also to the threads that I place on the news section of answerbank.

I did report one of the offenders, but no action against him was taken

The ED or someone else was good enough to remove the thread, but did not take the opportunity to chastise the offending members.

pistols at dawn ?

AOG....no! no! no!...you have got it all wrong.......the Ed isn't interested and neither was the one before.
I suggested many years ago when AB was again in turmoil, but for different reasons that certain ABers should be banned.....just my opinion. So what happened, the Ed banned the "characters" and made 2or 3 of the "troublemakers" Moderators. Well that is how i saw it.
Don't waste your time complaining....it isn't worth it, but you are quite correct, AB is shrinking.

You were the main instigator and well you know it, and followed by your usual crew, who did not want to address the riots, but where more interested in the use of plurals or the colour of the skin of the rioters.

UMMMM, I'd not be surprised if he thought ALL of us were inferior!

ZM has a crew?! How cool! Where do I sign up?

[Zacs-Master]

AOG, I don't have a 'crew'. The truth of the matter is that you saw yourself being backed into a corner by my and other people's questions so you had the thread pulled.

[Zacs-Master]

Sorry Jim. Membership,is closed. ;-)

[jim360]

Ah crap. I guess I'll just have to go on posting my own independent comments free of clique-ism. Rather like you do, in fact.

I have never stomped off, but thanks for admitting you are a load of kids.

Schools out, enjoy yourselves.

Can I get on the waiting list Zacs?

[Zacs-Master]

There's an initiation ceremony Eccles. It involves a loofah, a 9v battery and a jar of jellied eels. Still interested?

[albaqwerty]

oi, eccles, you're behind me, unless we can clasp hands and sign as we sign up :-D

[albaqwerty]

forget that. eels, yer on yer own Eccles

[ummmm]

I wonder if the characters Sqad mentioned were the nasty trolls...

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT, you were the one who spoke of "certain ethnic minorities" and "certain communities" but refused to explain what you meant. You're the one who was more interested in the rioters' colour.

If that's not correct, why did you not spell it out to us rather than have the thread pulled?

[EcclesCake]

AOG, had I directed that comment towards you I would have been accused of making one of your infamous 'personal attacks'.

When it comes from you is it a personal attack or witty repartee???

[Zacs-Master]

Loving BA. Just loving it.

[Zacs-Master]

TCL, I refer you to my 11:26 post.

Zacs/Alba I was OK up to the mention of jellied eels, smoked are good though. Can we negotiate?
