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

Yeah, I found the warning. And they've already taken down Bushy's johnston-baiting post, so I think we can take it as read that they expect trouble. Oh well.

true. would u be mad at me if u lent me ur car & i told u that i put a crack in the side bumper

Am I going blind ? Where is this button ?

Ani - it's just a car. Tell him. If he gets mad then, as Brad says, it just shows that he's shallow.

Right - that's sorted.

Lets get back to the main question - who is Katharine?

Hi P K - long time no speak. I'll pop over to the boards now and see if I can see it. I'll report back soonest.

The "Button" is a bit of underscored text next to the "Reply" option on every post. It links to a form where you can detail your complaint.

Hi again P K,

Yep, you're going blind. It's there all right. I scrolled down one of Ian's posts (30 ft long) which I couldn't be bothered to read and at the end, next to "reply" is another bit which says "a lert a moderator" or rather it doesn't - it really says "alert a moderator".

Now - go and get your eyes tested.

thanks sarnia. I shall tell him tonight.

Thanks Sarnia

Weird. I checked a few posts, and I can't see the damn thing at all.

Not to worry.

Hey folks...haven't been here all day so missed events. But still - a dozen new union brethren recruited, three anti-union bigots comprehensively duffed up (in a verbal sense) and I feel great.

Shame I have to go home in ten minutes really.

Bummer

Odd, my thread teasing johnston keeps popping on and off because I keep seeing doug deep digging himself even deeper with his horrid little Nazi Party views??? What's happening???

I think the board is having some sort of problem - they probably skimped on any sort of testing or change control when they added the "run to auntie" button.

Your message appears then disappears at random.

Yep, it's deffo gone now but not before Dr Strangehats got a few kicks up dougs arse!!

SUB HEADING: VERY WEIRD INDEED

I've just received an e-mail telling me I'm out of pre-mod. Fantastic news, I think you'll agree, but I hadn't even been told I was IN pre-mod.

Agree with you all about Katharine Rushton giving it a good go. I think she might have lost her rag now though and come to realise what we all know already, because she's been rather intemperate with ij after he accused her to quasi-mod Ruth McNeill of being one of us (I'm assuming from the fact that no-one's fessed up that she isn't one of us?). Sometimes I feel a bit sorry for the innocent passers by caught in the crossfire of pirates and numpties, but it looks as if she can look after herself so i won't shed too many tears.

Back to w**k guys and gals.

Which one of your many accounts was removed from Pre-Mod though Pat?

I only have one account as you well know . Oh, and I post under my real name.

Duck...flying pigs!

Pig! Flying ducks. (or do I mean flying *ucks, as in I don't give one?)

Comments please ladies and gentlemen:

Moderators,

Is it really necessary for ian johnston to write such utter rubbish with what appears to be a real zest for quantity rather than quality. Time and time again, in my opinion, he spends 3/4 page defending his risible statements at a grammatical and interpretative level and 1/4 of a page saying exactly the same thing as he claimed not to have said in first 3/4 of his message!

Is he in any way contributing to a lively and informed forum based on the "lighter side of news" in these instances? I think not!

Ploughing through venomous bilge spewed by ian johnston is like rolling skating uphill.

I do not wish to see anyone censored but certainly feel mr johnston may benefit from a quiet word in his ear by the Mod team.

Regards,

Dr Strangehats.
