So, to summarise the thread in Haiku……

Bear likes sausages.
Drac has already seen some.
Handbag fight breaks out

SAUSAGE SAUSAGE SAUSAGE SAUSAGE SAUSAGE SAUSAGE SAUSAGES!

a Moderator getting a random out-of-context kicking who isn’t me

In the years I’ve been here that’s never happened to you. [/quote]

With all due respect, I think I’m in a far better position to gauge my own experiences than you are.

As the highest profile mods on here, neither you nor cougar can really be seen as neutral in your moderation of posts given the tone of a lot of your own content.

I’ve said this several times before, but the majority my posts are as a user just as yours and everyone else’s are. Should I not be allowed to be as opinionated and sarcastic as everyone else, or be allowed to have a bad day occasionally?

Someone said earlier something like “he’s a mod, so what can you do?” – you can still report posts. I’d have no qualms about warning / banning Drac if needs be and I’d hope he’d say the same of me. (I once tried to ban myself but the system wouldn’t let me…)

Anyway. A thread on sausages and one on mash running concurrently? Must be an omen, I know what I’m having for tea tonight.

Can you use your Mod powers to combine the threads in to a bangers and mash super thread? If you can’t I’m going to report you for inefficiency 😉

If I could it’d all be gravy.

With all due respect, I think I’m in a far better position to gauge my own experiences than you are.

Quite right. What I meant is I’ve never read anything that could be construed as a kicking. Perhaps you’re one of those snowflakes which Druid referred to earlier… 😛

I know what I’m having for tea tonight.

The suspense is killing me….what you having?

We don’t sell crab cakes in a sausage factory.

(Was in my clipboard. Seemed apt. )

Do you do duvets?

You’ll have to ask a Scouser.

They do do duvets though don’t they.

Teasal – I have seen cougar get a bit of a kicking and have to apologise for his behaviour.

I’d have no worries calling him out if I thought he was being a richard. I am quite confident he would treat me fairly.

It’s the secret mods like Onion you have to watch out for.

Hiding in plain sight….sausage in hand.

Onion?

Over the years quite a few folk have speculated on the identity of the Moderators who choose to remain anonymous. I don’t think anyone’s ever guessed correctly yet, or at least if they have I’ve never seen it.

Is it Jimmy Savile?

Ooh hidden mods. This place is getting more exciting

Now then.

They walk among you. It’s basically a Poundland They Live.

The rest of the time, expect banter and to have the piss ripped out of you mercilessly.

Well said. A new sticky for the rules – you’re not one of the chosen few are you Scotty?!?

This is a MTB forum after all FFS – just look at what we wear and do. No right to be taken seriously at all, by anyone 😉

Ignore the people you don’t like, relax and have a giggle and a sausage or two

There’s a reason that’s not funny. 😐

Do you know what it is yet?

Report him 😉 or do you/don’t you need to?

Waitrose, if you don’t mind.

Not Fortnums ? How uncouth….

Moved out of SW1, old fruit.

but it’s just as bad to see some folk making ‘lols’ capital in this thread, who have self-confessed mental health issues themselves, which is based around worth and opinion of others, at a guess.

I did flip, but it’s just as bad to see some folk making ‘lols’ capital in this thread, who have self-confessed mental health issues themselves, which is based around worth and opinion of others, at a guess.

i think making jokes here is bang-er out of order.

Think you might have overcooked them Tom, they only needed a minute in the microwave

There’s a reason that’s not funny.

That’s the biggest (do we still need to say ‘actual’?) laugh I’ve had out of the forum in months. Well played.

Also,

Stokes do chilli ketchup?! 😯 For all the pretentious wan- frippery around posh ketchup, Stokes rule.

There’s a reason that’s not funny.

Just ban ‘im, Druidh.

I refer the good sir to my previous comment.

bruised plums ?
Still a bit of an over-reaction to move house

Take your time Jamie, we’ll wait.

If that was aimed at me, apologies to anyone I’ve unintentionally offended.

I just like a silly pun thread, it cheers me up.

Take your time Jamie, we’ll wait.

Give me a minute.

The IRA Mods are a very secretive organisation; you probably wouldn’t know if you were one. (to paraphrase Eddie Hitler from Bottom)

If you haven’t baked your sausages with some chopped onion and a few very healthy dollop’s of marmalade, with a little bit of water, then, you haven’t.

And don’t, as there’ll be more for me. 😀
