What was going on there?

Just signed on, looking through the new posts, I clicked on ‘what’s going on here’ looks like it should now read ‘what WAS going on here‘. Quite annoying to have missed the last posting before the thread was locked. I do like to read the last post if it’s going to be locked, to make my own personal decision on its content. Oh well, there you go.

Apparently it provoked "a few unfortunate responses"..............
Surely no-one was politically incorrect......... :wink: :lol:
Best wishes,

Maybe you should read George Orwells 1984...

Oddly, I wasn't told off for the two 'forms' I posted up, so I can only assume people 'got' the humourous intent and that it must be someone else this time............. 8)
I didn't see the posts after mine before they were deleted, so I can't say more....
Best wishes,
Mike.

Hail the guy sporting an oblong moustache!🤔🤐

Locking harmless threads seems a bit harsh, why not have a section FOR Minor Enthusiasts' to take the mick out of the way life is nowadays?
Show younger members we DO have a sense of humour, and are approachable.

I retreated back to my 'safe space' - the garage.

Sick to death with it all, what's the blxxdy point in living if you cannot bang out a personal opinion.

Part of why POMMReg being knocked on the head, getting all posts deleted & me taking a break from all these ppl telling porkies, promising "info" in return for free help!!

I sort of know how you feel Chris but we’re not in control when it comes to thread deletion, I agree there should be more tolerance of posts and it’s long been my view that threads burn out eventually on their own. This is a very strict forum. I personally think posts here don’t go too far but as with so much in this day and age, the worry that offence might be taken is there, hence deletion in this case.

Why do I get the feeling I’ve missed out on reading an enjoyable thread? :D

This is why many modern 'comedians' are so bland and boring, too worried about offending someone or not being seen as 'politically correct' / 'on message'....................
Plus allot of people are extremely 'thin skinned' these days..............
I could go on but I'd better not..... :wink:
Best wishes,
Mike.

This post is just a joke, right? You're simultaneously complaining about 'not being allowed to bang out a personal opinion', while at the same time throwing another hissy fit that you're not getting what you want from other members, AND insisting that I do the work of going back and editing all of your threads for you? You're taking the proverbial, mate.

Try to tell a joke or make a witty comment which does not involve anyone or anything being a victim. It is almost impossible.

No apostrophe's were harmed in this msg.
