With your statements as seen below, it's clear that you believe that somehow Marc owes you a website upon which you can post, and that you can dictate the layout.

Calling you on your bullshit (and it's a never-ending stream) is not sycophantic, although I'm sure your mom is so proud of you for being able to spell such a difficult word. It does, however, illustrate your amazing talent for hypocrisy.

I shouldn't start deciding who does and who doesn't have the right to be here though. It's just a tad outside your remit. Lol.


Still, now that the sycophants are lining up to cudgel other members for the effrontery of inoffensive freedom of speech, let's look at the logic of the proposal.

Ads are designed to make people buy stuff. They should be targeting those who have the wonga, namely, those who can afford to pay for membership. What's the point of ad-saturating those who can't afford membership, let alone purchasing the advertised material ?

I suggest then that 'paid up' members get the ad-saturation and the rest of us don't. Lol.

hermanboo ;


Oi, herman, I'm invited to comment on the ads.

I'll allow you the one cheap shot.

Care to comment ?

I'll tell you how I reached that conclusion. I was describing my own position, not speaking for anybody else. That should have been evident. I'll have to readjust my condescension for stragglers.

Otter;

Yes, if my appeal to the bawss fails and the site remains defaced that's exactly what I'll do. I've already stated my views on the financial problem elsewhere.

Still, if the bawss wants all those destitute trailer-park kids on his conscience at Christmas, well, that's up to him.

And shame on you people for not thinking of that. Shame.

Re: Who sees ads in the middle of threads?

I see the ads, but I don't really give a shit, cause I don't pay, so whatever.

I'd rather see some ads than some of the shit that I see posted though...

Reminds me of when I had this as my sig. There was no telling how many offers Marc and O'Sullivan recieved
