I think it's fair enough to say the tone can get heated but that's unavoidable tbh, we're not robots. I'm just wondering if anyone on here has experienced something that they consider a bit beyond the pale. <br />I'm geniunely curious about this, plus was it via the odd trolls who come along or through reg posters.Mendozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17056515353623499116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-32327740182009990252009-05-03T22:46:00.000+01:002009-05-03T22:46:00.000+01:00Cheers for that post, pikey.

And you're right about your persona, I've tried a few out in the last week but people know me as Hank, and I get responses, positive or otherwise, but responses none the less. I also like to think I have a certain amount of credibility on CiF and it would take me a long time to build up that cred again if I were to start posting as, oh I dunno, FatTony or NoFInNumber for instance.<br /><br />Anyway, that's by the by. I've decided that I won't come back long term in another guise. It's Hank or bust for me. <br /><br />And I won't come back unless it's on the same terms as any other poster. <br /><br />But your support is appreciated.

He also did very good stuff with a band called Moving Hearts - check them out, great stuff. Very uncompromising politically and a tremendous musician. Here's "No Time For Love" - as relevant today as it was 30 years ago.

We jumped mattseaton on his way out of The Guardian on Thursday night, told him we were armed, threatened to detonate a bomb, and demanded he fly this thread to Cuba”<br /><br />Now I think of it, he (TMP) went on about football too.

Love the way she wraps her voice around her collaborators, particularly Gram and the few songs she's done with Elvis C.<br /><br />Don't mind a bit of dance music when I'm out.

How freaky is it that two women thousands of miles apart would post the same thought at the same time?<br /><br />Andy - no probs & no apols needed. I can see where you'd have thought that. Yeah - as I've said many a time - I just don't think anyone should be banned. The only time I really think it's justifiable is if someone is actually trying to incite violence. Even then, I'm not quite sure how that would be a true threat. I mean, if you're going to plan a terrorist attack, you're hardly going to announce it on a place like Cif, are you? <br /><br />Hank, no more cider today. I'll wait 'til the next time the sprog spends the night with his grands for that. TBH, the "Just say no to drugs" crap they feed them at school seems to have taken hold with him pretty strongly thus far and he's pretty uncomfortable with me drinking.

My little strop above was after I saw your post in which you made reference to me seeming to think Cif was my own little world. I'm much calmed down now and, as far as I'm concerned we did the virtual kiss and make up thing last night. No, I don't actually have a farm. If I did, I'd sell it and move to Britain -- I consider Leicestershire to be my spiritual home (Theddingworth, to be exact). I am, however, 'farm-adjacent' in a town of @7k peeps and tens of thousands of cows & pigs. Well, the livestock aren't actually <I>in town</I>, but they're all around us.
