Re: Hmmmmm

There's more than one moderator - sometimes comments are reassessed and removed. Yeah? Nothing weird about that.

None of you have any idea what a mammoth task it is changing all your shouty nappies every day.

Re: Her fault

AHAHAAHAHAAHAAAHAH.

Since this seems to have caused a disproportionate degree of upset despite the fact that we use it all the time and it isn't necessarily derogatory, I suppose I should point out that I wrote the headline.

Re: Re: Re: Googlegate?

It's incredible the things you people get worked up about.

Re: Way back when...

I can see here that you've never had a comment rejected, so I don't know what you're on about, dear.

Re: Re: @the Moderatrix

Also, I wrote for it, I didn't edit the letters which is what people used to do before this sort of thing, you know, back in those days. It was a glorious time, when men were men and women were free to not spend their days mucking out the internet.

Ah me.

Re: Re: re:Re: Pity it wasn't a kebab van

I mean, there has to be joy for a killjoy to have anything to work with.

Re: What a bunch of poofs El Reg's readers have become.

Ignoring the crassness of your subject for a moment, are you seriously suggesting as someone knowledgeable about bulls that they enjoy being tortured to death over a prolonged period? That may be an emotive way to put it, but it is torture by definition. Pain is caused. Many people with moderate views who don't have an ethical issue with eating meat (which is another matter altogether so don't start on that) quite reasonably object to the killing of any animal for entertainment - it's hardly an extremist view.

I suspect you know you're being a silly, needlessly provocative dick, so please show a little more maturity or I'll do the moderating equivalent of sticking twenty funny little ribbon-topped pointy sticks in your back and then finally dispatching you with one big fuck-off stabby spear before parading around the thread waving my stupid hat while other commentards throw roses and phone numbers at me.

I mean, really.

Re: e-mail

Great! Sweet oblivion at last.

Re: Toilets are a problem

'Distress'. Arse. I used a mixed loo at the theatre last night and no one gave a damn.

Re: Mouthy female?

Keep it up, AC, and I will zap you. Silently. Not like a typical female at *all*.

Re: Only one thing is clear

But she is an under-informed idiot, and most of the criticism levelled against her has been entirely fair. No one objects to her being pretty or having a family - they object to her being outrageously ill-equipped to be in government, and holding extremely dodgy views.

You've just fallen foul of Godwin's Law in the most spectacular way in your first paragraph, anyway, so I fear you have lost.

Incidentally, I removed your last comment from this site as it contained a nasty and unfounded accusation against a public figure. I'd say it amounted to a vicious, dehumanizing attack, in fact.

Ah, people.

Re: Classic example..

Man, I wish I had your problems.

The 'report' buttons are handy for stuff we occasionally miss. Most of the time, however, they seem to be used as the equivalent of running to teacher to tell on someone when they've said something they disagree with. Hey ho.

Re: My sentiments exactly!

I fear this is going to become some kind of irony graveyard.

Re: 'Fartfux'

Wow, that was a stretch. I fear you might have pulled something.

Re: @Apocalypse Later

No, this is me, I don't have any sock puppets on here.

Kind of sexist of you to assume the only person complaining about sexism on here is me, no?

Re: Now if the boffins would only explain...

Fresh sweat doesn't stink. Old sweat does because of bacteria. And people didn't used to be fussed about a bit of smelliness, anyway, it's only relatively recently that someone invented soap and had to stoke up a lot of paranoia about BO to make people buy it.

Y'know, more or less.

Re: This is not a title

Well, that just proves it.

Re: I call straw man on that comment

Good grief people. It's just like airbags and seatbelts - in some situations they'll save your life, in others they'll fuck you up. It's luck, in the end. So make your choice and stick to it and shut up about it.

Re: Be honest now,

As before, folks, please try not to descend into anarchy. I'm just one guy. You must help me out. Thanks.

Re: Any excuse to mention the World Cup?

Yeah, they really shoehorned it into this story involving the World Cup...

Re: Never again will we hear the imortal words...

I remember when Peel used to poke Pulp with a stick until they were enraged. The two are similar in so, so many ways.

Re: Fair Warning

How is that a 'warning'? It's a disclaimer/fig leaf/excuse to spout whatever crap you please, rather like a :) after something dodgy. Tsk.

Re: I think he's an idiot

Frankly I think there's a good chance that everyone here - myself included - has said something on the internet at some point that could have been interpreted as threatening to at least one other person, and it would only have taken one hysteric or paranoiac to take umbrage and that would have been us fucked. And it still could be. So a little humility and there-but-for-the-grace-of is in order.

Re: @Sarah

No, I don't have time. You can probably figure it out for yourself.

Re: Journalist?

Pfft.

Re: drat

Of course you're a caffeine addict, you goon. I know I am, and I only drink two or three cups of tea a day - if I go for a day without that I'll feel tired and headachey. I can't imagine what would happen to you if you tried going cold turkey from your ten cups. Have some green tea and a nice walk for chrissakes.

Incidentally I think Red Bull has settled into its role as methadone to coffee's heroin - so many people seem to think it doesn't really count. And I used to drink it with vodka at university. Happy days.

Re: Wow! What a bitter and very personal post

I'll let it through, but if you could refrain from calling each other fucking twats that would be lovely. Only I may call you fucking twats.

Re: Irony...

If Orwell had had any inkling of how often his work would be pompously cited by silly buggers on the internet, I suspect he would have thrown away his typewriter and spent his short life breeding ostriches instead.

Re: You were expecting?

I have no take at all. I am takeless.

The only thing is that it was Miranda who sported a pair of these, not Samantha. Hey ho.
