That's fair enough. As I said, people have every right to block whomever they choose and they'll draw no criticism for me for doing so, the only comment I made was concerning the manner in which a minority of those people 'explain' their action to the rest of the board, to me it sometimes can appear childish. Just to be clear, it's the manner of the 'explanation' that sometimes appears playground like to me, not the blocking itself. You've lost me with the quote thing, I'm sorry, I can't see the relevance to what I posted originally, my apologies. Ps any idea of the level of unhinged I have to reach for inclusion, I'll get to work on it Bloody hell if you're unhinged we're all in a mess I suspect posters reach for the blocking button when they become tired of the low, sometimes high level of harassment over a sustained period of time absolutely nothing to do with not being able to deal with the other side of a healthy debate. Not that there are many healthy debates on this board these days. On the blocking point if you were to block me after your last reply my understanding is that you will only see my reply after someone else quotes and replies to it..... someone that you haven't also blocked ..... I assume this is what FYD has referred to. I've no idea who he's blocked but after a few years on here I can possibly take a reasonable guess. I just need to reach the required level to get on FYD's list then I'll go back to normal mode, whatever that is and assuming I have one Looking back at our recent (and as far as I'm aware, only) interchange you'll (hopefully) see that one of us appears free and easy with petty insults for no good reason that was clear to me Edit - to avoid further confusion, that will be the interchange between him and me, not you and I

I wasn't criticising anyone for blocking people, just the fashion in which some feel the need to inform others that they've done so. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I was making the point that my understanding is that the only way you will see a blocked post is if another poster quotes it. I'm assuming FYD has his reasons probably getting to much attention from the "unhinged" element of the board over the years I would assume. Exactly. I have in the past blocked a specific poster because I just got fed up with the persistent drivel that they spouted, and their interventions interrupted the flow of genuine debate on the threads. I once "Quoted" a post, along with a couple of associated priors that appeared in the usual boxes, and one message appeared saying "This post is hidden" (Display Post- option). The blocked poster presumably would see these frames and realise that they were blocked. Either they didn't notice this or properly ignored it, but I will be more careful in future.

Actually it seems on desktop blocked is blocked regardless only on a mobile does quoting someone blocked show up what has been written and the this post is hidden message only appears to the person who has made the block not the whole board I believe.

Not at all, I just didn't/don't really think it was necessary, I think you're capable of putting forward a coherent argument without the need to resort to phrases like that and 'tin foil' etc. You seemed to feel the need to adopt a sort of 'taunting' style of debate, haven't checked but from the reactions of others I don't think I'm the first person to notice your 'unusual' style. Still, if you're happy with it and don't mind being criticised for it crack on. I would have appreciated an explanation of just why it's such a ludicrous idea but amidst all the taunting I appear to have missed it. As you say, c'est la vie, it's just words on a message board.

Fucking hell, is he still going?!
He really does take it to heart doesn't he? Can one of the few remaining non-blocked posters on here tell him to loosen up a bit!
Meanwhile, Cummings' looks like he's married into a nice family...let's hope his daughter is nothing like the father.
Although, given the alleged superiority of his breeding, one wonders how he ended up with an autistic grandchild (if indeed, he is autistic)?

Do you think he'd listen I think it was proven that the autistic child thing was just another load of bollocks that surprisingly came from nowhere According to a link Paul Spencer put up on the Corona thread.

No, I don't. It's one rule for him, different rules for everyone else, where have we seen that recently?! The problem is he just doesn't get it. It's apparently ok for him to engage in condescension, "gentle abuse,pisstaking" (his words), but if he gets it back, he can't handle it and has to block people. It's just a bit over sensitive for an obscure football forum that means nothing! I find it odd, but each to their own I guess!

I agree this totalitarian lockdown needs to end. And people are willingly accepting all kinds of restrictions over a cold. So if Cummings travelling makes more people go out that's a good thing. What?! You mean you're not prepared to do your "civic duty" like BJ and Pinocchio Hancock insist you do? Civic duty is to resist tyranny. Future humanity will not thank those people who are willingly surrendering their liberties and allowing the state to track and micro-manage their lives.

Have a read of The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace Wells. Doesn't sound like there'll be much future humanity around to do any thanking!

Jonathan Van Tam got Cummings sorted at yesterday's Press briefing on the Coronavirus. The gist was "The rules are there for a reason. In my opinion, they apply to everybody." This in reply to a direct question about the issue.

He does what he wants, he does what he waaaants etc. Turns out planning permission would be unlikely as it's in a conservation area. Lovely people.

I get all the indignation regarding Cummings although I don’t go along with all of it. But this got my goat up yesterday when BBC was interviewing a woman at the beach in Dorset that was way overcrowded and social distancing almost non existent. She had travelled with her family from London and her justification was "why should we keep to social distancing rules when Cummings didn’t blah blah blah" . Well you brain dead moron two wrongs don’t make a right and how many people did Cummings cross infect on his journey and 2 week isolation .......an answer of zero probably. On the other hand how many people were cross infected at that beach yesterday? These people will be the first to point the finger at the Government if we go into another lock down with second wave of infections.
