I believe the ongoing and verbal diarrhoea of Monk's sledging has forced Vic etc to move those strands where his comments are ruining the show to his forum ....

Doesn't look like Sophia will make a late run... can't blame her with all that vitriol going around for no reason. This has certainly brought the worms out of the graves....the blowies out of the corpses....

Reply #5 - Nov 24^th, 2023 at 9:52am The petty obsession with who moderates a non-political subforum on a politics forum makes this place a joke to those viewing as guests. The most recent 10+ posted threads concern the vote for a moderator, in a way that makes this forum look like it's run out of a rest home.

The Tavern is a safe space where the lion can lie down with the antelope and both enjoy a quiet one after another savage day on the hustings.... do you see Sad Kanga and I at it in the bar?

Lion:- "Jeez - do you have to run so fast? I'm not as young as I used to be."

Antelope:- "Just trying to avoid your over-exuberant younger relatives behind you.... your shout..."

Lucky our Oz national and state elections are mandatory or cop a fine hey. Grin

We would be like USA if it wasn’t mandatory… lax as…. months and months of urging people to merely vote! Lots of bickering and sledging there too…. it must be in our humanly DNA blueprint when we were made.
