You really are Mr. Grouch Tealeaf. There are still plenty of threads as you describe, just intermingled with these outrageous ideas ... ok ... I think some are absolute bunkum, but still great fun. Never know, one may turn out to be correct someday.

Bet if you could get hold of the stastitics from a few years back, there are now more of 'your preferences', as there was then.

If we didn't have treads like this we would be able to have the crack, okay Mancie's politically OTT, but hey I love the banter mainly because I'm on the receiving end of his rantings. There is no better sport than stirring the pot and getting Rindi going, because like me I know he loves it. You've got to remember that a lot of stuff on here is tongue in cheek anyway, it would be boring if everything was serious or taken seriously

If 'Having the crack' means mudslinging on political threads I'd rather have a bit of X files stuff antyime

This is an outrageous insult.

But I would rather be Mr Grouch than a complete fruitcake. It's just a shame that some of 'em just forget to take their medicine before they post on here.

A fruitcake is better than a sadcake and in better company

Ah yes, but when you are a complete fruitcake you are not aware of the fact, and quite happy with your thoughts even if they may seem gloomy to other people, whereas a grouch is never happy as have to search for subjects to feed this obsession...

You only have to take a look at the threads of the 'fruitcakes' and see how many posts follow and the number of views ... obviously, we all find them interesting and fun to take a dig.

If there were no fruitcake threads it would be very boring on here

MargaretR · 09-08-2009, 10:22

....and when the time comes for the sadcakes to eat their words, they will be less nourished

Exactly, having the crack is part of the fun.

A forum needs posts that are not the same repetative stuff, interesting though most of the "crazy" threds I make have many views and comments all be it some a just out to try to upset/anger the "fruitcakes".

I dont see why certain threds upset certain people, no one forces you to view them why do you feel the need to try to belittle the posters or contributers, (And you call them the fruitcakes)

What the hey? If you posted it to be a bit of a titter, why is it in General chat rather than anything goes, that's where the crack goes, I thought you were being serious, my mistake obviously?

I do my best work in anything goes, I can even be a bit of a Fruit Cake with what I post in there.

I do apologise, I thought because of where it is you actually took this stuff seriously.

Wow, I can look forward to you, teasing folk and the rest of us joining in.

That will be far more enjoyable, look out Maggie he was only extracting the urine!

Of corse part of the fun is having the crack (cant take life to serious), doesnt mean is not for general chat, If the mods, or the people with extra privilages wanted to move my threds then its fine by me.

Do I take this stuff serious, well depends on the subject matter at hand.

I dont just dismiss something as rubbish I will view it with open eyes.

As for this topic UFO'S - I believe.

Its all about spreading / sharing information for people to make up there own minds.

Nope, sorry you are worse than someone that has found God, You put forward your version of the truth then find it reprehensible that others don't agree.

Believe what you want, (I do), but don't get upset if you make those beliefs public and others want to say it's rubbish, if you don't want an alternative view don't post from Sci-Fi sites.

I've put my tin hat on ready for your reply.
