Oh How I Wish........

[MissTerious2]

AOG was still around and the News Section was somewhere good to go................

[daveinscotland]

Wrong section. Chatterbank?

Or maybe you could try what the others have failed to and provide some counter-argument to the news reports and data provided?

[naomi24]

I’ll second that, lottie.

[Redhelen72]

I agree the news needs something but I will respectfully disagree that it needs AOG.

[Zacs-Master]

All you need to do to redress the balance, Misst, is to post some racist, xenophobic bigoted question and we’d be right back in the zone.

[bobbinwales]

It needs real news not just repetition of the same stuff about brexit boris polls ect

[MissTerious2]

No not Chatterbank. It was my reaction to looking in the News Section. OK?

[naomi24]

For all his foibles he generated some lively discussion though …

[bobbinwales]

Anfd needs proper nrwws stories not links to YouTube videos from unknowns we're expected to spend 30 mins listening to... whether it's from left or right

[Redhelen72]

When you are told that your opinion and thoughts are silly by the 2 main residents of news it does kind of put you off posting

[ToraToraTora]

naomi: "I’ll second that, lottie. " - well at least you can do something about it. We all know the two main posters who have nothing but nastiness in their bones. Even an offer of a Xmas truce did nothing to avert their trolling. They are killing the section and the site.

[MissTerious2]

At least Red he didn't act like what I witness now. He got things going every day. Things often got heated but never the rubbish we get now or the pure nastiness.

[daveinscotland]

I agree Bob. Never posted any YouTube video of that length, that’s Khandro’s specialty.
My last was a comedy one some 32 seconds long, that’s it.

[bobbinwales]

Or accused of stalking when you do reply. Or bring patronised for 'bringing a knife to a gun fight'. Or having my primary school English mocked. Or seeing posters mimick you by changing there username to one to poke fun

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, I suppose he was the Katie Hopkins of AB.

[rowanwitch]

I second that, I mostly think I post reasonable answers but to have them dismissed as if I am some sort of idiot is rather galling.

[Bazile]

I don't see what difference that would make .

AOG was just another poster on the news section with particular views on one side of the political spectrum .

No difference now .
All pretty boring and repetitive

[Redhelen72]

He had his nasty moments though if you stood up to him!
Now you have someone who attempts to write in ‘cockney’ and someone who likes to wind him up and the you have the gruesome twosome who copy and paste each other answers

[Peter Pedant]

as so often in LIfe
you are stuck with what you have

[Peter Pedant]

Or accused of stalking when you do reply.

O god I get that. You havene been stalking me have you Bob? ( joke)

Or bring patronised for 'bringing a knife to a gun fight'. You cd. say: "but it is a big one" - that wont stop the whining....

Two of the nastiest viciousest unpleasant sptieful nit pickers are now both mods arent they? ( another jjoke)

[nicebloke1]

The holiday is over then? Reading this is a bit like starting the same jigsaw puzzle.:0)
