Thats fair enough griff, but it was starting to get out of hand and people may or may not have been put off from posting for fear of having the urine ripped out of them!
Thats fair enough griff, but it was starting to get out of hand and people may or may not have been put off from posting for fear of having the urine ripped out of them!As I indicated on a other thread, I think the grown-ups who were engaging in this (namely myself, SW and GL) were only doing so in an ironic response to certain posters, who can’t string a chorent argument or sentence together themselves, criticising the grammar and spelling of others.
I agree, though, that if we limit the board to those what can speak proper English we’d alientate 90% of the English and Polish population of Wigan.

However, on a more serious note, I also thought that you were a little heavy handed with me last night by deleting two of my posts, neither of which where offensive, which were ‘on topic’ and to those who can actually understand were (if I say so myself) quite funny. If you are going to alienate those who support this board and all things latics then you will only have yourself to blame when the ‘readership’ drops – it’s called balance. Griff, SW, LMB and others ‘wax lyrical’ on a variety of subjects but it hasn’t stopped people bantering with them and sharing opinions. I think you do quite a few who frequent this board a disservice – you only have to look at the number of ‘hits’ threads are getting to realise that people are interested in a little bit of light banter.
As my lads say – some people need to take a chill pill

Griff, SW, LMB and others ‘wax lyrical’ on a variety of subjects but it hasn’t stopped people bantering with them and sharing opinions.To be fair though, there is a difference between having your opinion dissected and pulled apart, which is fair game on a deabting forum, and your spelling and grammar ridiculed, which is probably a bit lame. I shall endeavour to ignore the latter in future. This has the added benefit of excluding me from the majority of Jimmy’s, Zoggy’s and Parakeet’s posts :)

However, as you have said to some on here Griff – they do, sometimes, bring it upon themselves and temptation is an awfull thing. :twisted:
