Miki Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Some one (no names) got banned just for coughing whilst reading the posts, now how do yousuppose the Moderator knew about that, is there a snitch on that site(no name) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Interesting that HWMNBN can apparently post messages there as a guest. Wonder how (and why) that works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I just made the mistake of replying to some bloke called Dick Smith over on the dark side of the moon. I picked that thread to reply to as it seemed the most interesting and it was close to the top of the list, so I thought it was recent. Only after I posted did I realise that DS's post was the best part of a month old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 Does it seem odd to anyone here that one might become a moderator on a hypothetical French forum without knowing the least bit about France, and, for example, never to have sampled the local culture to the extent of never having eaten moules? Is it just me, or is that odd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owens88 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 >never to have sampled the local culture to the extent of never having eaten moules? Is it just me, or is that odd? A friend of mine is complaining about Moles in his garden. I know the french eat anything that has lived , but is there a recipe for eating Moles ?[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 We've obviously been thinking along the same lines Owens88. I want to know why, if snails taste so good, isn't there a recipe for slugs ?

Dick Smith Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 thatsfrance is down again, so we can talk about it.It seems that the incerdibly paranoid, rude and inexperienced forum owner and moderator left the 'guests can post' box unticked, and someone has been playing fast and loose. So they take the nuclear option (probably the only one they understand) and pull the whole thing down.Has anyone seen the incredibly rose-tinted stuff the 'modulator' is posting? They must watch him coming with drool running down their bank accounts!I have now emailed three times asking precisely why I (along with Miki, TeamedUp, Will, Perpignanais and Cassis) were banned - not even the common courtesy of a reply. But HWMNBN still posts his ramblings - and they love him! Inexplicable. It seems we were banned because we objected to him and his insulting posts...

Dick Smith Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 Do you remember the story of the teenager who was arrested for culling pigeons in Trafalgar Square?
