Potus ???

Why do you continue to insist on asking about saws in threads that are either about potus (president of the united states!) or the current news? There are whole threads and sections of this website dedicated to saws and other equipment where those questions are much more likely to be answered, you could even use the search function if there's a particular saw you'd like to chat about.  

 

In all likelihood most on here do or did much of their work with saws, or have an interest in trees and that's what brought them here in the first place. But much like other "industry" related forums, much of the bandwidth of the forum (too much in reality with all the bickering) is used up by people talking about other stuff. 

Again, as with many other places on the internet, there are always a few loudmouths who like to show off, boast, have a debate, pick a row, play devil's advocate or just shout down anyone that they disagree with, and again there will always be those who push back against them. 

With the current political situation, society is massively divided and those on either side have moved further and further apart and feelings are strong on both sides in terms of the passion they have for their viewpoint and the dislike they have for the other. 

As for meeting each other and saying the same thing face to face. Some love an argument anywhere they can find one, in real life or online and have probably got into a few scrapes because of it. Many others aren't  keen on conflict and physical confrontation in real life and would probably do their best to avoid the loudmouthed agressors in the first place (does that make them a coward?) which is generally quite easy as they can usually be spotted (or heard) a mile away, gobbing off about one thing or another.  

 

 

thank you for that, it makes much sense.

I'm not used to this level of online conflict, I come from an era where you faced your accuser and reacted accordingly.

simply put, "the way I look is down to me,, my attitude is down to those around me".

What you mean by that is, that’s your opinion !! and very much like the shite accusations you Peds , Mark J , 42 and SP threw at me on the Covid thread you can not when asked provide any proof at all . So this obsessive defence of Trump you mentioned 🤷‍♂️

The level and content of some of the posts about Trump on here in particular from an anonymous blagger is obviously ok with you, asking a blagger to answer a straight question seems to wind those of a similar political stance up big time including yourself. To the point you are resorting to your old Covid thread techniques ie make up lies post it up and run with it with zero proof 🤷‍♂️ 

The likes from two of worst  TDS sufferers pretty much sums it up. 

Same old same old. So it's just my opinion that everytime someone dissus trump you don't storm in attacking them? It's an obsession, you can't ignore it. 

I tell you what, how about I retract my point of you being obsessed with defending trump (because you don't directly say how great he is and everyone is lying) and replace that with you're obsessed with attacking those who say bad things about him. Is that better, is that ok with you?

Who are you? And where are you?

Seems like a simple question. 
You regularly call people Cnuts and threaten violence but seem happy to hide away behind your keyboard. 

I call most things as I see them, I wasn't aware I had threatened anyone?

you're the one who suddenly turned up wanting my address,and claiming others wanted it too,  as you appear to be in france I see no point in giving you any details at all, however the lesson I have learnt  is to simply ignore you and not allow you to succeed in annoying me any further.

I suspect Mick is making a point about double standards, mega quick to shout out "anonymous"... and yet... who are you? As anonymous as anyone else on the forum.

That’s the bones of it.

😂😂😂still waiting on the proof from that accusation 42 😂 just need Peds and we’ve a full complement of liars 👍

 

Loose ends Blagger. You don't have a leg to stand on, again. 

 

Is the NHS failing because of illegal immigrants? Yes or No.

 

For such a rabid advocate of straight talking you've gone uncharacteristically as coy as a Carp, so I think you must have seen sense after all. 

 

I could keep asking this question for months, and months, and months.............. and maybe years, until everyone is bored witless. I fear I'd look like a proper nutjob lunatic though.

I don't get all this NHS failing talk, of course it could be better, but people are still having chemo on it that didnt even exist at the turn of this century. Loads of customers Ive met have had knees and hips done. Cataracts, triple heart bypass etc. So what if there are people on trolleys in the corridors? Its still way better than what they had in the middle ages

[Mesterh]

The NHS will always be on its knees, if it wasnt its budget would be cut prompto. It will always be begging for money thats how these organisations work. You will never see a private hospital saying its struggling and the patients are being strewn out in asda trolleys in the car park and left to fend off malicious seagulls. 

I reckon a scramferiously amount of money is wasted by old people just wanting a chat with their GP and pissed up fckers sucking up the A an E on a fri/sat night.

what I did notice, and have been noticing for some time now is the number of posts so elaborate and purposeful in their construction that it would be almost impossible for one not to notice that their main purpose was to antagonize  a particular person, something they succeed at every time, I am also aware that anyone agreeing or even associating with said person is automatically ignored or equally antagonized even if they ask a perfectly reasonable question about saws, but think nothing about entering any thread with yet another similar post to get a rise from the same person.

someone said a while back that the members engaged in this behavior would not be as keen to meet face to face and act the same way, they were correct, and there's a good reason for that.  

anonymity can give certain people enormous superiority as they will never get a punch in the mouth, in reality they got a lot to say,, usually from the back stirring up others at the front. I believe they are known as cowards. 

 

 

What I notice is that, regardless of political ideology, it is always possible to find at least some common ground with anybody else on here. As I believe you have found out. With the notable exception of said person, who always seems strongly averse to admitting any kind of common ground whatsoever with anyone he holds a grudge against. I'd even go as far as to say that he deliberately seeks to stoke division and bad feeling at any given opportunity. It comes across as the sole raison d'etre in fact. 

 

As for anonymity, who cares? I don't, that's for sure. I may be wrong but I don't believe most people on here do. It makes no difference in the grand scheme of things. If people want to maintain it then fair enough. On the other hand, if people want to share lots of details on stuff like their hourly rate/income tax level/tastiness of their day rate then that's also fair enough. You I think, don't wish to share your name, that's fine.
