messageboard insults are only as damaging as you allow them to be. usually they're just a way of kicking a little life into an otherwise dull thread. As with the Hendrix thread or the Most Overrated City one.

Besides, I'm listening to a Howling Hex CD that just this minute dropped through my letter box. So i'm in a totally good mood right now.

People who get all wound up by Sarram's insults should just listen to Howling Hex instead. Or learn judo.

But there is another alternative - letting the dull thread die.

maybe for porks and others, but for me this has nothing to do with damaging.

bothering and annoying other people, this is what this is all about.

Most threads die anyway. It's whether they go out with a whimper, or kicking and screaming.

Anyway. I saw Sarram hanging out on a street corner once. All shaved head prison tattoos and sniffing into a bag of glue. So long as he's just insulting you here you're fine. It's when he gets you on your own and the motorcycle chain comes out. That's when the REAL problems start. He's got 23 asbos, so local legend has it. And four pitbulls named after members of the Hole in the Wall gang. A terrifying individual.

I favour a natural dignified death, rather than dragging it out on a life support machine. It's kinder to the family not to give them false hope.

Noooo, it's like when they send terminal kids to Disneyland. It gives them some fun before the inevitable. Shows em some sights.

There's a story about one of those daytime TV shows where Gabby Roslin goes around Children's hospitals and arranges treats for terminal kids. Apparantly, she asked one boy what he'd most like to see. She obviously meant before he died, because he had cancer. He said, 'your tits'.

Good lad.

And this from the kind soul who shouts abuse to porn threads that keep on popping up, anyway. Jico, mate, you are getting all sensitive on my ass, when a simple 'you are cunt!!' (which i am gladly ) would have done the job.

Ooohhhh!! The insults!!! Sad Cunt? Cunts don't come happier than myself.

I've fallen in love with the woman in Howling Hex. And I don't even know what she looks like.

It was a good day.....

I'm just relieved that neither of you has a brick in your handbag.

Did you not just say earlier that you would rather let a dull thread die? Gosh, the internet hipocrisy!!!!

You're terribly amusing.

This really is an outrageously good album. Trust me.





I sereiously think that I might've found my new favourite band.

Forum Rule 16: Stalemate.

If the referee thinks a position of stalemate exists, or is being approached, he shall offer the members the immediate option of re-starting the thread. If any member objects, the referee shall allow the thread to continue with the proviso that the situation must change within a stated period, usually after three more posts to each side but at the referee's discretion. If the situation remains basically unchanged after the stated period has expired, the referee shall nullify all scores and re-set the posts as for the start of a thread and
(a) the same member shall again make the opening post,
(b) the same order of posting shall be maintained.

That's a top notch record, by the way.

Started what??? Are you mad?

Just got it today. Fuckin' hell.

You care enough to reply, therefore you do CARE.

They're not negative comments, they're surgical interventions. This thread was in need of medical attention.
