This is part of the 'clique' craziness that has been around the forum for years.

I am allegedly part of this 'clique' - I know who the rest of the 'clique' members are.

It's all bollocks. It's a convenient excuse for those weak-willed and thin-skinned who can't take the normal banter that exists within any group of people.

I think you and Simon Loxpox should get married. You're both permanent victims of one thing or another.

These cliques then become something akin to a secret closed society that thinks itself a cut above everyone else on the Forum that isn't in 'their posse' and can bully and devalue whom they choose without fear of warnings or bans. It's that aspect of it that I find unacceptable.

That's crackpot crazy talk.

On TVF, none of this supposed clique have any power at all. None of them are moderators.

On MP247, Gavin and I have no power to ban or warn. Martin is a lovely but power-crazed individual who won't allow us to do that! (But bless the guy!)

What you call 'bullying' and 'harassment' the rest of us call 'banter' or 'the crack'.

I suppose we were behind the JFK assassination and the irregularies on 9/11 as well. Tsk.

Amazing, isn't it, James?

Hadn't realised it, but you're dead right; read it when it came out on Thursday and seem to have been using it ever since.

It's all THEIR fault. Had they used the "Wilsford Cum Lake" picture in "I Spy", I'd never have got as far as Glenda.

Must have serious words with Mr Hilsopp!

You read every issue twice? It's fortnightly.

Indeed. Yes, of course I do. It's better than watching Breakfast in the mornings!

i think that to madam birkett "banter" means pointing out that paul hudson is short, or that peter levy is old. everything else constitutes bullying :lol:
