Two-way block

[Value Collector]

Is this a reference to the truck that went off the road ?

Wait, what? … No, I don’t know about any trucks hahaha

Oh dear, it's pick on gg day, but he has broad shoulders. He'll take it....have a great evening, everyone. (UK closed tonight) Thanks for the laughs

 

[eskys]

GG, I logged out but came back in......had to tell you that we do love you, you know that. Are you there?

 

[galumay]

Ok galumay, if you are right (and I don't think you are), how come I can still see all of the ducks posts ??

Hi VC, correct, - you obviously thought about the process, g did not.
As everyone knows I try to present an idea that will require the readers brain power, I never explain everything to the enth Degree, it's just a habit of mine.

*blocked!

In the spirit of reconciliation could somebody let that bâtard @qldfrog from Noosa Oblast know that I have take him off two way block, for 12 hours to enable him to reciprocate.

And @Dona Ferentes I never called him a bâtard, the bâtard.

Nice thoughts but in the real world:

On these sexy thoughts, have all a great evening.

I couldn't decipher it clearly, but a curious encounter with a short mitteleuropean recently turned out to be only an invitation to break sausage (I think), rather than anything more menacing and alluding to one's DNA mix. I didn't work out the connection until "Intel Committee" was mentioned (see post #101) ; now things become clearer.

Well if even a doctor is getting confused it may be time for me to provide the solution which I put to a few patrons at the bar for which they provided a solution.

This is the answer to the block/ignore/logged in/logged out dilemma.

Sadly, that form of dark web is blocked on my fragile little machine

I don't remember Maxwell Smart short and stout. So, is that gg armed? Anyhow, I'm going to stay out of his line of fire; going into hiding in the warehouse. Had a reprieve last night by the looks Thanks GG, and have a great day, everyone

 

[SirRumpole]

This is the Maxwell Smart I remember. I don't recall any bakery.

 

[bux2000]

Either it was my memory or I was drunk at the time, but that enigma still exists............................in my mind................... anyway.......... Probably had to be there

and speaking of enigmas, didn't our PM look lovely last night ? ................ .................. ??

You must have “missed it by that much”…..

I think the fumbling Maxwell often lost 99 and thought she was in the bakery........I hated that show as a kid growing up, thought he was anything but smart, always stuffing up

Always thought it was the TV equivalent of certain songs that have been played to death to the point that they’re basically destroyed in terms of anyone actually wanting to hear them.

Back to the original point, a key feature of ASF is it’s one of the very few places where serious intellectual discussion is actually possible. Elsewhere either those posting nonsense dominate the discussion or moderators simply delete anything that isn’t in line with their own group think.

The blocking feature, whilst I’m not keen on it in principle, is perhaps a necessary thing in that regard. I’ve seen discussion elsewhere derailed by one or two troublesome individuals to the point that everyone with something serious to contribute simply walked away and nothing worthwhile remains.

Hate is a strong word, Smurf.....better phrase would have been 'I liked that show least' But in those days, there weren't a lot on tv (in fact I watched very little television then or now) From what I can remember, the laughter drove me crazy, not sure if it was generated laughter or I simply didn't appreciate the fumbling around....too far into the distance now.

Agree, blocks are useful for disruptive behaviours. However, the disruptive ones can sometimes come up with some gems.......need a lot of patience and tolerance. By the way, I received my first block yesterday. I know what a block looks like now! Someone must have thought I'm disruptive too or something else......have a great evening, Smurf, and everyone

I agree that a block is sometimes necessary but I think it should be the Moderators perogative.

I've seen @joeblow issue warnings and if they continue to be disruptive they have suddenly disappeared, whether by their own choice or forcibly I don't know.

Unfortunately people who insist on having an argument can turn others off so much that it's not worthwhile continuing an argument, even though the nuisance is not being insulting or derogatory. In those cases I think it's best to agree to disagree at some point and go on to something else.
