....interesting that less that half of Scotland even want a vote!

Gromit: please read this thread;
"https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/AB-Editors-Blog/Question1813367.html" - I do not operate multiple IDs at the same time as I am being accused of.

Lol, which means what, exactly? What’s the relevance of being a long-standing member?

//Gromit, hard to believe someone trails another poster to that extent.//

Lol, I doubt he’s trailed anybody. Anyone who can spot a pattern and idiosyncrasies can draw a reasoned conclusion within a fortnight, maximum.

[FatticusInch]

Lol, my earlier posts about his ‘friends’ get removed but Gromit’s which actually list them(not all I might add) stays?

As Gromit has pointed out, the moderation here is mostly diabolical, bar two really good ones.

[Zacs-Master]

Gromit's list is factual. Yours is speculative and incorrect.

Do you see the difference?

//Gromit's list is factual. Yours is speculative and incorrect.

And you know this how, as you asked earlier?
Plus you’ve not even seen my list.
Or do you want to post what you believe said list is?

[murraymints]

No referenda.. We are all well nearly all sick and tired of Queen Nicola's ranting ambition.. Gies it a rest hen

[naomi24]

Fatticusinch, //Lol, I doubt he’s trailed anybody. //

That's some memory then.

[Zacs-Master]

Well, I didn't actually question the content of the list, I questioned how Gromit knew. You're not good with subtleties, are you. The other big factor is that Tora has admitted his previous incarnations. He has written 'As gromit will no doubt point out, I do have previous IDs that I have used until they were suspended'

and
'I generally wait to see if I'm, allowed back in. With this ID it's generally a 24 hour suspension but I have in the past waited over 2 weeks'

Plus, the Ab Editor has written 'FatticusInch, ToraToraTora is an extremely long-standing AnswerBank member. Please do not accuse them of having multiple identities'

You really should calm down a bit, maybe have a few hours away from AB and come back refreshed because you're digging a dangerous hole here.

It reminds me of when our gracious Princess Catherine was told to go back to her own country when visiting N. Ireland that bigotry is alive and kicking

[New Judge]

Any chance we might stop this stupid nonsense of accusing others of having multiple identities, etc. If you suspect they have, just report it. Too many otherwise interesting threads are degenerating into personal feuds and it's silly.

These "ad hominem" attacks are becoming extremely tedious.

[Zacs-Master]

I think Tora's post was designed to do just that, NJ. If you don't like these posts you could just..........report them.

[DTCwordfan]

and a referendum here as to whether we in E&W want them....

[New Judge]

//If you don't like these posts you could just..........report them.//

I can't be bothered, Zacs. It's of no consequence to me and it's not what I do. I simply dip out of the thread. Some may say that's a good reason to carry on with the nonsense :-). But it's a shame because more and more threads are being hijacked and I'm quite sure it's turning a lot of sensible contributors off AB. There's plenty of other places where one can indulge in that sort of stupidity.

[Zacs-Master]

'I can't be bothered, Zacs.'

That may be the case for other posters.

'It's of no consequence to me'

Erm.....ok.....strange thing to make an individual post about then.

[ToraToraTora]

Judge, I posted this to try and stop the silliness, it's just one idiot with a fixation.

Zacs-Master,
//You really should calm down a bit, maybe have a few hours away from AB and come back refreshed because you're digging a dangerous hole here.//

Lol, calm down? Strange that someone has got such a vested interest in this?
As for ‘dangerous hole’ get over yourself, it’s an Internet forum not a murder investigation! PMSL.
Take a chill pill, nobody appointed you as their mouthpiece, take a step back, you’re coming over a bit dramatic to say the least.

//No referenda.. We are all well nearly all sick and tired of Queen Nicola's ranting ambition.. Gies it a rest hen//

That's the point - until she gets Indyref2 and AGAIN her dream is rejected there is no chance she will stop ranting. Get it over with & put her out to grass!

[Zacs-Master]

'Strange that someone has got such a vested interest in this?'

What, exactly, does that mean, Fatti?

[New Judge]

//Erm.....ok.....strange thing to make an individual post about then.//

The consequence is that I become completely disinterested when the nonsense begins. That may not be a tragedy and as I suggested, some people may also see that as an advantage. I try to post constructively although I know that much of what I say meets disagreement. I'm fine with that. But I rarely, if ever, "go for the man instead of the ball." I find it unhelpful and generally childish. I'll say no more because debating it is almost as bad as doing it.
