FeelTheFear Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Just now, barryb said: Mooning?. Quite possibly. Mr T thinks The Sun shines out of his **** so perhaps a combination of Moon, Sun and Uranus in conjunction with a retrograde BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryb Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Since we were on Mooning and Uranus I thought I would look up Asteroids, below is from the urban dictionary. Asteroids A condition when the Fecal Impaction of the Colon is so solid and an has become an immobile bulk mass of human feces that develops one's rectum as it has a resulted in a solid mass of constipation in one's ass, such that, it feels as if it is, “Chocked Full O' Nuts” which will not pass under normal circumstances and may have to be dug out with one's fingers or similar tools. i.e., "to shit a brick!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 4, 2012 it were deemed that Matamata trainer Wayne P Hillis would win on Melbourne Cup day 2017--provided he lined up. History was made...... 5 years 4 months and 3 days in advance !

It'll be better than. But anyhow, how come you are the one who makes the rules on what you claim to be a world record? To even claim such a thing, loses any possible credibility. I'm with pete. You and Thomass make a great pair. Start your own thread about your stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly the issue, and people don't have time to be monitoring every post made by T, whereas 99% of other posts and posters are never an issue. For once Molloy was right in saying that any site that allows PD and T to post will not be successful. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are also being selective, as if you recall, you, me and many other decent folk were/are not allowed to post according to the two retired jockey's standards.

hesi Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 We do have this situation though, where every thread that T becomes involved on, descends into an off topic circus, and it is not good for the site and it's credibility I don't know how you fix that, without working overtime(and why should you) or compromising your standard on free speech. There is the aspect that it can be construed as trolling, and not sure where that stands in the bigger picture of free speech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 It takes more than one poster to drag a thread down into a circus. There are more people guilty of that than just Thomaas. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the free speech question is interesting. Probably doesn't preclude trolling and inflammatory remarks or others responding in kind. However there is the question of it intimidating others from speaking freely and engaging with a topic. The issue for me is derailing threads with completely off topic remarks. I think BOAY could consider some kind of rule, not preventing the remarks even if they are insulting or rubbish, but insisting that they must remain on topic or be removed, either altogether or to another thread. I appreciate the irony that I'm writing this post in a thread titled "Holiday Period Best Bets". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
