This is a laugh - hpc related

Just had a quick look at HPC for my daily fix of nutty goodness. There is a thread about moderation of comments on news articles on the guardian website. Some poster's comment has been removed (from the guardian page) and the muppets are all up in arms about their freedom of speech, political bias and brainwashing by the media. You couldn't make up irony like this!

    Yes, but all that means is "someone who was right"....:D

    I was particularly appalled by the thread mocking the death of Bernard Matthews.

    Are the HPC rejects being paid for continually promoting HPC on MSE?

    I would have made my point about the hypocrisy on HPC itself, but I can't, because ironically my posts get moderated due to not being bearish enough.

    Well thanks for spamming us with it. Much appriciated.

    Wasn't spamming the reason for the moderation on HPC?

    I haven't seen that thread, but my first thought when I saw the news was that some turkeys would be celebrating. I decided that that was definitely not worth posting, though.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    HPC reject No.4 signing in.... any more?

    P.S. Sibley, have you bought that chalet yet?


    Sorry Gloomy. I decided 8 hours of test cricket was more enjoyable than spending time chatting to you today. :rotfl:

    What was the point of posting this?

    It's like a really badly failed trolling attempt.
