    The whole episode started with a perfectly reasonable post of mine about the banning of another member (a very reasonable guy). HPC reacted like a cat on a hotplate. Of course that got me excited and I'm afraid everthing went downhill from there.

    You?

    Why, I can hardly believe it.

    And you're normally such a restrained and composed chap. :p

    I fully accept that my references to chimpanzee and oberführer moderators was completely unacceptable. I also concede that referring to the other posters as lap dogs was wrong as was my suggestion that the entire HPC membership have IQ range 70 to 100.

    No, that sounds about right.
    I tried to mend fences with the post below but they banned me completely. Can you believe it?

    Mustn't upset the hive mind Macaque.

    Just because you're a monkey, doesn't mean they don't want to assimilate you.... Or eliminate your presence there if they can't.

    Bubbs new board sounds interesting though. IF they can manage to resist banning anyone with a bullish perspective.

    And aids, I guess :eek: I read somewhere that the local male population use prostitutes quite a lot and have been infecting their wives, don't know how true that is.

    Yes - a large % of new HIV infections diagnosed in Thailand are of women in long-term relationships.

    I agree.

    I would have put those muppets at a range well below that

    Is mctavish the only HPC'r that is upset for NOT getting banned? McTavish seems to forget that she was put in the Troll group on HPC...that group even had it's own sub-forum!
