It’s worth pointing out that although we are mid divorce that it is gratifying to know that the EU is supporting the UK in these times of blatant Russian aggression. I for one am grateful for the EU support on this.

You make your bed, then you have to lie in it.

[-Talbot-]

Well, I asked a fair question on what had been posted.

Some posters make their bed and are allowed to scream profanities at other users from it.
Of course, you have to be one of those nice AB-users to get away with that.

Oh dear another spare rib thread. Looks like bleached bones in the desert if you try to follow it.
Of course the Germans are terrified of the national socialist Russians. They live next door to, and used to burgle them every decade or so.
The whole of the flakey EU knew from Day 1 that they needed our input and expertise, but faced down the luvvies(or bribed them) that have wormed their way into our infrastrcture, and taxed us for our input and participation in the rip offs. Get out quick and leave stun grenades behind us as we go.

Cake 'n' eat it.

Did all the answers removed from this thread deserve to be removed?

[-Talbot-]

Only saw two of the removed answers Nom and one of them was mine asking a legitimate question.

[NoMercy]

Do we have new moderators in our midst? If so, theyre a tad sensitive. Over moderation will only serve to drive people away.

[Togo]

It isn't the questions that "disturbs" them Talbot. It's the obvious answer that rattles the cage. We are not moderated, we are censored. See previous threads today. Not what you know, but who you "know".
Sickening behaviour from cuddly bunnies and a ***.

[Old_Geezer]

It's just nice to know that they realise some things which require agreement are in their interest after all. Standing up to powerful loose cannon governments being one.

[Togo]

*** actually says worse than I did. :))

[cassa333]

from what I can gather the deleted posts are ones that point out the stupidity of particular posts.

who will get fed up first when they keep getting deleted? The person making the such asinine comments or the people pointing out they have made an asinine comment?

[Zacs-Master]

And AnswerBank descends to new depths......

[sunny-dave]

Sorry to disappoint those looking for a 'new low in censorship' - but from my observation (I actually saw the posts being picked off) the problem wasn't the mild banter from tablot and friends, but rather the over-the-top ranting that it provoked from their target. That presumably had to go, and therefore the removal of the initial provocation was, I guess, just collateral damage.

Tin foil hats off, stand easy chaps.

[gulliver1]

If one attacks, then they must expect to be repelled.

[fiction-factory]

>Sickening behaviour from cuddly bunnies and a ***.

Weird.

[cassa333]

But Gulliver that means one can make asinine and blatantly incorrect responses without response recourse from others. Because as sure as night follows day and day follows night village idiot comments from some people will continue.

As I said. Who will get fed up first?

The sad thing is it just derails a thread. Oh! but perhaps that's the intention. Make a stupid comment because you have nothing of value to add and watch the discussion descend and halt....

[gulliver1]

I did not address my post to you Cassa, but if it fits? . Which village do you live in then?

[ToraToraTora]

diddlyo: "TTT - you are grateful for EU support and yet you appear to be a hard-line Brexiteer. How do you square that??? " - well I support England but I can also appreciate opposition teams. I Can't stand the EU but I am still able to appreciate it when they do something right. just because you hate something it does not mean you have to dismiss the occasions when that thing does something you agree with, does it?

[jim360]

Fun fact: I actually agree with the sentiments TTT posted just now.
