Re: Feedback: Gubu censorship

Given your delightful use of the English language I find it hard to believe that you received the benefit of a third level education in TCD or anywhere else for that matter. You don’t need a maths degree to know what a 1:1 from Trinners adds up to, my friend. Followed by a MSc and a PhD from the sa...

Re: Feedback: Gubu censorship

The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. The only inaccuracy here was suggesting I went to NUIG. I’m not stupid, Trinners man here. Maybe some of the other so-called scutter junkies did. The idea we are all the one poster or indeed in cahoots at all is laughable and a ...

The RTE thread is great fun. Odd amount of hatred towards the channel and Tubridy. I'm not a fan of either and they deserve to be under scrutiny now but nobody has been murdered and it will all be ok. Same as the 'Boards is Broke' thread'.

Re: France is fiery post & thread ban

Some people just aren’t able for message boards, Twitter, Reddit and the like. Some people take it all far too seriously, others have difficulties handling their emotions, and others are simply too stupid to contribute anything of value to discussions.

Anyone who would attempt to doxx or threaten a volunteer moderator on a small message board is probably profoundly mentally ill. It’s abnormal behaviour and an example of the internet causing deep unhappiness in the life of a subset of people.

Is Mahers pub in Waterford still on the go? That place was the ultimate old man pub I've experienced.

It’s got nothing to do with gender or a poster being a woman. Angry, bad-tempered and hysterical posters tend to be mostly men tbh.

It’s true though. Taking things like message boards and Twitter seriously is a sign you have too much time on your hands and an inferior mind. You could be doing pretty much anything else and it would be of more value.
