Oh I have....

And I know what you mean. Its a different kind of cringe though.

ttter: Moronic, opinionated, self-important gobstes, trolls, and celebrities with brown nosing idiots commenting hoping for a like.

Instagram: 90% duck pouting females or self-absorbed steroid abusers in the gym.

I subscribe to the other 10% of instagram smile

I refuse to go on Snapchat. I've just closed my Twitter account. Facebook and the 10% of Instagram that isn't completely banal is more than enough social media for me nowadays.

Can we have another please?

Political "experts". I am sick to death of hearing their ramblings, and the way some of them, some who you at one time considered to be a friend, will practically have a meltdown if you don't agree with their point of view.

I don't claim to be any kind of expert but for someone to try and tell me I am stupid, and in some cases, fall out completely because my opinion does not match theirs is utterly pathetic.

Worse still, it seems to be the ONLY thing some people talk about now. I don't exactly lead the most exciting life, but even I can manage to talk about something else occasionally. banghead

Yes you can do that, but I'd never end up re-following them biggrin they literally have nothing else to say, and what with brexit going forwards after this election, I can't see an end to it any time soon.

These PHs experts crack me up.

You initially read their stuff and think wow that guy is really into climate change or politics or whatever he/she must be a real expert, then it turns out they work in something totally unrelated.

I'm not saying you have to work in something to be an expert in it but they give that impression and overstate their expertise in their copy and pasting.

Reminded me

Posters who will regularly crowbar a reference to their military experience into their reply.

e.g. what should I have for tea tonight - pot noodle or microwave lasagne?

jackreacher: Definitely the pot noodle. When I was in Afghan, after doing a twenty mile yomp with my SA30 and bergen on my back I used to love the mexican chilli noodle.

The moderation on here has just made me cringe.

I've just been banned from NP&E for a month for arguing, but I haven't argued with anyone at all. Only posted on the snap election thread, the Jeremy Corbyn thread and the May Vs Corbyn on telly thread today and at no point have I clashed with anyone, let alone been incredibly rude or sworn.

You get the repetitive wind up merchants in there saying the same stuff to provoke a reaction everyday (like yipper and the lefties) and we've all seen how Ginetta G15 Girl goes on the attack with personal insults and swearing when it suits her, but nothing is done about it.

What a joke.
Someone posted a link once to a Daily Mail story, which was about some cat that got run over. I then posted on that thread and included a picture of the flattened cat (taken from said Daily Mail article). The result? A permanent ban. That was overturned once they realised how fking stupid it was, though to save face I was still banned for a week. Just people on a power trip, and as you say there are others which seem immune to action.

If anyone wanted to see a photo of the dead cat, they could seek it out, but not everyone would actually want to

see it and you removed that choice by posting the pic.   

Why DID you post it anyway?  Just for the lulz?

I got banned from the Liverpool thread for quoting a picture that a spurs fan had already posted that the mods took exception to. I told them I didn't post the bloody thing but it didn't make any difference and the spurs fan wasn't sanctioned at all.

It's pathetic.

So 2 bans in 4 months, or are you using another log in after the footie ban?

Either way you are doing well. Don't worry it's all those others wink
