h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Now that just makes me want to repeat the phrase again and again. Am I 10yo?

Can we say "Jehovah"?

*checks list*

*checks several pages of stuff from the 'how the BBC filhter works' manual*

Here it is

'Jehovah is acceptable as long as it is not said by 2legs, or accompanied by the word sprout'

: you don't expect these things to make sense do you?

But "sprouting Jehova!" is such a good alternative to ...

>>>It is against my principles to play the "yes, but maybe we would be nicer if we knew who you are" game

Fine, you don't have to say WHO you are, but I note that you haven't denied that you are a returning researcher. It would have been a pretty simple thing to do. I was going to ask a much simpler question: are you a returning h2g2 researcher? But of course if I ask that question it will just tie me into more of your trolling.

People who know me well here know that it's rare for me to make accusations of troll. Even with ubertroll Della for a long time I talked about troll-like behaviour. I don't have that degree of tolerance right now. I don't think we deserve this after all we've been through this year.

I'm sick of watching you trash this site and the people on it. I'm sick of you using threads like this to play out your own personal agenda without being able to engage with the community constructively. It is possible to disagree without undermining community or wasting people's time, but you don't do that. I can't stand that you are taking this generous, bright, funny, intense, hardworking and caring community for a ride.

So, instead of asking you for anything, I'll tell you what I am going to do. I'm going to start posting examples of another researcher who has a very similar posting style. Those posts will merely be examples of what this kind of troll looks like, in case it's not already obvious to some here.

Pastey, my post before that referenced you wasn't about the swear words, it was about where you said that none of is could know who oxygen is for sure

Oxygen *is* a returning researcher, who has even admitted as much in her journal. Said journal has now been deleted, of course.

So no, I'm not going to treat her as a newbie, and I think saying "I'm a newbie, therefore you all have to be nice to me" as a way of winning arguments is a new low in this researcher's modus operandi.

I'll save you the trouble Kea of posting if you like

I am very sorry if I am wrong oxygen but you look like Fluffykerfuffle to me

>> ut "sprouting Jehova!" is such a good alternative to

Sprouting Jehovah' is on the sub-set of swear-words list 485b(ii) Which means it's ok to use it once it a while, but it needs to be checked by a staff member to ensure it's not offensive to Brassicas.

So fine to use occasionally, but if it's in a thread title that's a lot of work for the volunteers.

Oh, I see, it's probably because of sprouts being associated with B*lg**m.

"I'll save you the trouble Kea of posting if you like

Correct! Give the man a goldfish!

Peanut and Mala.

Guys, seriously, you can't complain about trolling and then do it yourselves... which is exactly what you're doing by hijacking this thread to call oxygen out on hir 'real' identity. The question was asked, sie refused to answer it, and sie is well within hir rights to do so without a mob forming. You have no proof with which to make such accusations, so please don't. It's not big and it's not clever.

oi, which man are giving my goldfish too

How many times if f***k**f(le) going to do this? Didn't he/she/it set up a trolling sock puppet not long before we left the Beeb?

What's the goldfish for?


Now that the is out of the bag, or elephant in the living room has been named...

will the eat the ?

1. He's not naked.
2. There's nothing wrong with leather, in fact we have a leather clad smiley, do we not. Although in my opinion it looks like PVC more than leather, due to the shine.
3. Training, experience, courses and seminars. As you've asked. Although I've never said I was better at it than anyone else, or no-one else is entitled to an opinion, I have merely said I disagree with those opinions. But you did ask for my credentials, so there they are. Some of the things I had to see and hear in my training will haunt me for the rest of my life.
4. When did posting a cartoon on my space become 'flaunting'?

I never said I wanted to PROMOTE the site to under 16s. I just don't feel we should be building a site to EXCLUDE them.

The Entry that picture comes from was written, illustrated and approved by the Italics of the time, and the BBC (who weren't shy about removing content they felt was inappropriate, often for reasons the Italics thought were completely OTT), who also allowed under 16s on the site. If it's good enough for the BBC, who were always concerned with 'what would this look like on the front page of the daily mail' for people under the age of 16 to maybe come across, then it's good enough for me.

Does the identity of oxgyen matter in these arguments?

Yes, and if she had come back and not caused trouble I would fully support her right to choose a new identity and not be outed. Might have been better if she hadn't replicated her previous behaviour almost identically though

Proof? Not 100%, conclusive proof. But I am willing to show the evidence I have and let people judge for themselves.

I am not trolling I am stepping up and calling bullshit on behaviour that has damaged this community in the past and that I'm not willing to see repeated.

I don't see Peanut or Mala or even MB trolling. It's disappointing to see you say that and it suggests that if we recognise a previous troll we are not supposed to do anything about it.

I forgot to add, I never said adult content was wrong. I just felt it shouldn't be explicit. I think I said something like it should be tasteful. Or soemthing along those lines.
