Mr Sensible and Mr Dickens or Shakespeare, you may not like me or what I write, but you could remain civil. I had thought and hoped that this was an inclusive place.

Mimosaphants: tough as an elephant's calloused foot when it comes to giving it; as delicate as a mimosa when it heads their way.
Now, how about less 'personality' and more humour?
PS It was a friend of a friend of a friend who was counting calories. Not me. No, definitely not. Never in a million years. Etc.

Editorial license is precisely what an editor has, especially for Mr O'F on NB, seeing as it's his own place.
Scroat puts it very succinctly -- 'it's his site so he makes the rules'.

I think JO'F does a pretty good job of sitting back and leaving us to it most of the time. And if he wants to pick up the ball and take it home he can, it's his ball.Posted 2 years ago # -

That isn't a complaint
If there's been a torrent of posts on similar themes, then maybe the guy who runs the place can say "enough".
The problem is, we're not used to it, so maybe knowing it can happen can make us wiser.
Or we could sulk, throw out the toys and get pissed.....Posted 2 years ago # -

Hope you're feeling better by now, he said, 9 hours later.
Your post reminded me of a very drunken Aussie friend who phoned me one evening and seriously wanted me to help him raise £100 million to turn the Isle of Man into a Formula One circuit. Thank God he didn't mean the Isle of Wight!
On the subject of this post - and I know that I do change the subject sometimes - I find these arguments among you all really quite hilarious. I have sat here and chuckled my way through this lot - keep it comin', I say.
