our beloved forum is too sanitised

I'm not offended, I start at 5 I just don't start rumours that early.

Bloody Oath. You're on the money there Detective....

This country is quickly losing the freedoms and sense of humour we used to be so proud of... :-[

Within reason, a bit of a joke never hurt anyone and, as has been said already, if ya dont like the conversation, dont hang around and winge, just ignore it and move on... :

cheers Pat

...so far we've had replies from Western Australia, Far North Queensland, Sydney and Skye down the bottom of Victoria...

...in other words the bloody length and breadth of Australia!! ...what do we make of that aye?

Hi,

Yes Mr Detective Sir,
I agree, it has become a bit quiet around here of late.

At he same time though, I don't miss the shite fight that was going on about what categories of things we should be talking about.

As for racial vilification or "funny" wog jokes, well times have changed, even here in Australia.
Something like 75% of the current population of Australia is either an immigrant in our own right (me for one)
or the grandson or granddaughter of an immigrant.

It's not PC gone mad, it's just the new reality, get on board or be left behind.

As for the Forum, it will pick up again or it won't,
time will tell.

Everybody play nice,

Hi Bobsboy .. just in case it appears I am rabble rousing, I very carefully considered what i wrote in that opening post and possibly should have put in BIG capitals...NO SLANGING OR PETULANCE...

...that is the essence of a decent forum......

Gees Defective I think you are an agitator LOL

'tective, yes I agree, exactly, I support you there 110%.

No bad intended against any individual - its as much a social comment as anything to do with the
Forum specifically.

All Good,

...buggered if I'll watch idly and see the forum get lost by its own moral compass...and you wont see me agitating to get rid of things sacred to the forum, but you WILL see me agitating for some looser reigns, a bit of a swear word now and then, and good, old fashioned rib-tickling amongst a bunch of blokes who know the game of give and take...aye!

Swishy your the man with quick come backs

Detective I think you are mostly right about what you say but IF the forum has been run of into the ditch we can only blame ourselves as we were the clowns do the posting or driving the computer thingo

And if we think we are over moderated now we have to look at what got us here our best lessons are learnt from looking to the past

not having a go at anyone or looking for trouble
