Is phobia about terrorism irrational or rational?

Right, all good stuff. What do you hope to achieve by publicising who is on your ignore list?

Maybe they feel like the person should know they are being utter tossers? I dunno, never ignored anyone myself because the posts are there if not logged in - see em anyway.

I don't need a digger, I need a bulldozer to cut through the amount of crap I make up about my posts.

You missed out the 'I'. I've put it in for you.

There you go, making up what I've said again. Only sad, childish and pathetic losers change people's posts in order to try and point score.

If I say, "it was only a joke", would that excuse it?

You don't do jokes. However, you do seem to enjoy many a fleeting moment of false superiority.
Don't change people's posts, childish man.

I notice you didn't answer. You're dodging the question. I know why you didn't answer it.
You're damned if you do think by claiming it was a joke, it does excuse it. It makes your comment look stupid.
Likewise, you're damned if you don't think claiming it was a joke excuses it, it demonstrates that sooey's claim about his comments being a joke becomes indefensible.
Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

I thought the words 'you don't do jokes' was answer enough. If I thought for a second it was a joke I would say so - you and I do not joke with each other, we trade insults. And no, it's not a 'joke' as you say. Making a 'joke' at other people's expense to point score isn't a 'joke'. It's you that's looking stupid.
Don't change people's posts Himmy, it is especially childish, even for you.

I think I may have sussed it out.
We all know, bar a couple of us, what the "ignore" function does. It prevents us from seeing the posts, and the threads started by, the "ignored" poster(s).

Some put a different semantic value to the "ignore" function, than the rest of us. They think that the "ignored" poster(s) can't see their comments, and therefore can't criticise them, or is dissuaded from doing so.

Perhaps, they should make a video, something called I'm not a racist. I'm a ignor-realist, or some such thing.
Maybe the suffix "amus" might be more appropriate.

You're still ducking the question.
"Making a 'joke' at other people's expense to point score isn't a 'joke'."
So the "nuke 'em" comment wasn't a joke?

You are resident expert on how to do that!

I answered your question in relation to you changing my post.
I am not talking about nuke em. That has nothing to do with me, am not interested in being dragged into your arguments with someone else.
Stop moving the topic.

You seem more than interested yesterday, in fact you were extremely keen to become involved.

Stop moving the topic.

Pot, kettle, black comes to mind.

As you are well aware, in some parts of the world, that phrase is regarded to be racist in the extreme...

 

[Deleted member 63160]

I thought it stemmed from a time when all pots, kettles, pans etc where made from black iron? Can't see it has any reference to a person and there skin colour. Mind you, a quick google showed that there are some apologists so desperate to "stand up" for others that it is viewed that way by them.

Utter rubbish from you Himmy.. Nope, no comment at all with the 'joke' thing between you and Sooey came from me. Making it all up AGAIN.
For you, the hard of thinking, I said stop changing my posts in order to point score. It's childish. I never moved subject, you did. Just own it Himmy, for once in your life, grow some.

If we are lucky, then Himaginn will dig up the posts where he goes and gets all upset at a wise and dearly missed contributor who accuses him of racism for using that phrase..

Another practice which I find bizarre, are these threads that begin with; "a question just for Nozzle" or words to that effect.
If I had a question, just for Nozzle, I'd PM you. I wouldn't put it into a public forum. To do so indicates only one thing, it's not a question just for Nozzle at all, it's an attempt to make a very public point.

 

[Nozzle]

Two attempts at ducking the question (Ref: Himaginn, Today at 12:48 PM for added irony). You must be a politician or at the very best a politics student at the local municipal college.

To keep things simple, I'll ask the question again, in exactly the same way with no added context or pre-judging what your answer might be
