So in fairness longwhine, if you're giving up alter ego's hows matty's IP match up against others??

I dont know how to do that but Im also not sure that is that important. I think we've all worked out that Matty isnt mellie. anyhow. IP addresses change as most of us arent on static IPs. so the same poster wil ahev different IP addresses everytime their modem resets.

Good Luck LW.

Agree with most of your list

3 new threads a day - I have been thinking about posting my first new topic, could happen any month now but I have trouble finding a topic which does not already exist.

the problem is rarely a lack of topics but the fact of 20 threads on the same one.

Well, I'm going to improve this board, and myself, by leaving.

Freediver, if you are still involved, please delete my profile, or message me to indicate how I should do so. I looked on help and couldn't see how to do so.

I hope you enjoy a board where maqqa, chicken, cods and longweekend agree with each other.

BTW Longweekend, previously I was footbru. I had to change names when joining this board because of your constant abuse, and denial of my right to speak under that nickname.

You conducted yourself the same way on these boards under my "ernie" psuedonym.

It's sad when one poster is SO INTENT on abusing someone else. Pat yourself on the back.

I thought that was you. But rather than have a tantrum why not stay and participate. This is a DEBATE board so dont expect to get complimented on everything you say.

Good luck Longy....However the problem posters do not possess the ability to articulate an opinion so they cannot debate in the terms you have framed.....These posters will not change their ways so you must either ban them or ignore them like I do!!!

People tend to give as much as they get so it is best not to participate in insulting each other.....If you argue with an idiot, onlookers cannot tell the difference!!!

If you go in for argument, take care of your temper. Your logic, if you have any, will take care of itself.

the REAL problem posters dont possess real debating ability. in that I agree. BUT the problem is the din they create winds the rest of us up in a manner that ruins it. most people on here are decent people. They may be wrong (as in all labor and greens supports LOL!) but they are decent. I want to lower the temperature and improve the quality of posts and the experience.

I remember now the great footbru debate... it was on Keating's Debt. Your position was that the debt DIDNT EXIST. Im not sure why you didnt expect to be mocked for that!

come on ernie no sulking now....

when one keeps changing their ID it becomes confusing and a guessing game so unless you put up your old IDs.. you can expect a bit of flack..

god I cant do anything right.. I mostly come on here as I feel I am at least having conversation.. even though its mostly to myself...lol..but it passes the time for me.. but in saying that longy is right this board is now all about spite and oneupmanship..who can do the GREATEST putdown..

who can compare the worst of the worst.... we are a b unch of whinging nitpickers.. who will do anything to put down the other side..in some cases beyond decency. how low do we want to go thats the point..

perhaps longy one of the things I liked about the Yahoo board was they showed those that were deleted..in this forum we have no idea, therefore it can look as though they get away with murder..

anyway well done and good luck
