Thread Sanitisation

Though you shall see, my copied 'FREDS' have been sanitised.


Again, we have had a thread sanitised. Just yesterday I looked at a programme on the old ogle box, Ryder Cup, thought to myself, what wonderful Welch voices singing ‘Land of My Father’. And some old sketch from Not the Nine o’clock News sprang to mind. No not the advert that now tops the chart for some reason, the ‘Failed in Wales’ parody. Lost it is now, cleaned out in the correctness of a PC compliant cam-PAIN.

So what does this mean to readers. Well, on Tuesday morn just gone, I bumped into a post where I made no real comment, accept that seeing as I was first on the scene, a post where more than one poser had less than 5 posts at the time, purported to be either the business owner or some rambling customer, where in a loggerhead battle of baffoons, for want of a rustle.

This wondrous morn, I awake to see the post I am on about with an addition, so I pops along again and guess what. The thread is a shambles, my quoting of so called ‘business owner’ and his words have disappeared, without trace. OK, I admit later in the thread that I removed some remark from this, the thread is not complete, although I have not commented on my thoughts are, I have said in other areas that I against Victim Hugging, and One post thread leaders should be listened to, but treated with the respect their number of posts deserves.

I have though in the past been quick to disagree with some posters who have come on here for absolution for the ‘failing’ and as such had posts removed from them, the recent case of the trinket left in JJB sparks a bell. Another that got me a yellow card from the champion ‘Victim Hugger Supreme’, though she will know who she is, tis not the place for me to go into playground squabbles.

Alas, if we continue to give no voice to those who oppose our views, our sanitised rose tinted view of the world becomes blinkered. Again some come here, and have come here for only absolution of their misfortune, some are quite rude in their briskness to dismiss others, with pms, and I have had more than my fair share, requesting I answer their posts. I can say most I do, and most never come back.

Alas to say, I am not, as some directly asked a week or so back, ppr’d, the ultimate sanitisation.

Sorry, apologies to those across the bridge, I only have to pay to come in!

    Posts are removed for good reason, usually legal reasons and copying and pasting the posts back into a thread will result in them being removed as well, its really not too difficult to understand.

    Yes, can agree with that, but this week, the thread is full of posters, many of whom have less than 10 posts. Tis not the problem, them coming on here with Jackboots?

    Tis to me, making this area of the site a victim hugging centre, rather that dealing with real consumer issues?

    The first post in this thread is a prime example of one that should be santised/deleted. I could not make head or tale of what the O.P is going on about, and I lack the inclination to find out by giving it an in depth analysis.

    I'm not sure if you are referring to me when you say ‘Victim Hugger Supreme’ on the JJB thread or someone else.
    Yes, I did sympathise with the OP about what had happened, although I was clear that I did not think she had any claim against JJB.

    If it is me you are referring to - be assured that I did not report any of your posts on that specific thread or any other thread that you have 'contributed' to.
    I can quite easily reply to your often silly and dis-jointed posts in public without getting them removed.
    However, also be assured that if I thought any of your posts were worthy of reporting, I would do so.

    Nope, PC, twas not thou! Although I note the times we have to quote in full, in cse the thread is sanitised.

    Freddie's posting style has improved massively of late no doubt due to his Yellow Card but the original post would suggest he's been at the Devil's Advocaat again.

    Freddie.. are you spending more and more time in the dog and duck?

    Your posts used to be slightly informative, and amusing, now they are just baffling!
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.
