It's apparently his main activity in this forum. Hey, not every submission is going to be a hit on every satire site. Big deal. Anonymously tagging "bag of shite" is just cowardly. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47053#post-135197 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 15:52:26 +0000 dvo4fun 135197@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Christine - your sub is not my style.

You've been goading people with abrasive comments for days, I thought I'd goad you back in the gentlest way possible. I hadn't realised you weren't playing, but I did detect an underlying malice to your original comments.</p> <p>You were obviously expecting overwhelmingly positive feedback, but accidentally asked for 'honest' feedback instead. That's exactly what I gave you, and the fallout is exactly the reason why people tend to only comment in a positive way on posts they enjoy, or posts that could be improved with some helpful suggestions. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34708&page=2#post-98401 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:09:47 +0000 John Ffitch-Rucker 98401@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thomas Cook lived, for a while, in Barrowden, Rutland.

I've been trying to let this sub go for some time now, though I can't deny being quite pleased about the abusive tags I'm getting. I made a slightly critical comment to you a few days ago, which you obviously can't handle. Rather than continually bumping this sub try and grow up a bit. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34708&page=2#post-98384 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 19:02:10 +0000 waylandsmithy 98384@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Why not weave it into your story?

And to the best of my memory, haven't used it.<br /> I'm clearly never going to convince you that I wasn't taking the piss, so I'll give up.<br /> The fact that the suggestion was commented upon in a positive way was clearly part of a nefarious plot to undermine you and fiendishly take over the world.<br /> I have too many other, more important, things to do today, and I've already wasted far more time than necessary trying to explain myself. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34708&page=2#post-98361 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:35:13 +0000 Vertically Challenged Giant 98361@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Can we all be friends again please?

You should have picked up your own quote for poking sticks at the mentals, which I personally think is extremely offensive and can categorically state that such a thought would never enter my angelic head.<br /> Having read the sequence of comments I still think you're lying. However, you are a member the gentle sex and know I ain't got a hope. You're therefore right, dear.<br /> It's all just a bit fun anyway isn't it? Something to keep us occupied, until we die. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34708&page=2#post-98357 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:01:56 +0000 The All New Jeni B 98357@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Actually, you are wrong. I had read your sub, chosen not to comment, and then shortly afterwards, the idea for the headline came to me.</p> <p>It was genuinely intended to be a helpful suggestion, if I had been being fatuous, I'd have come up with a much worse suggestion than that.</p> <p>Anyway, I come here to be amused and impressed by people with a far greater writing skill than I could ever hope for, not to poke sticks at people. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34708&page=2#post-98353 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:45:16 +0000 greg various 98353@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hey Smithy. over 600 hours on here in just 7 months.

The only anger "issues" I have are dick-heads using the word issues when they mean problems.<br /> For what's supposed to a humour site I do find it lacking on here more and more. How anyone can imaging I wasn't being ironic with the time of the month comment is beyond me. Can anyone come out with such a line and not be?The little joke about Dyson should have given a clue to the tone of my message.<br /> Apart from anything else, Mrs, I have read what you said in the other room so know you were just taking the piss and not trying to be helpful. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34708#post-98350 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:40:38 +0000 waylandsmithy 98350@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hi Greg,</p> <p>The PM was a much tighter bit of work. Cohesive and focused, and no mention of goths. It wasn't funny, but I guess you can work on that. People will be more than willing to offer you advice, it's always a delight to discuss ideas with like-minded, aspiring writers. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34708#post-98347 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:22:25 +0000 Spartacus 98347@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Greg appears to have some anger issues.
