Have you ever read the BBC blogs? There's just as many idiots on there - 'OMG why are you spending so much of my TV licence on bbc Arab/world/worldservice when i can't even see it! shut the BBC down!' is the general feel with many posts.

There's a higher brain/moron ratio though. Obviously HYS is 100% moron, the boards are about 70/30, blogs are about 50/50 and helpfully, 80% of those 50 are confined to the News Editors blogs accusing them of pro-Palestinian / pro-Israeli bias.

What do you mean, Malpass? Don't be self derogatory, Malpass, don't be silly. What a smart chap you are, of course you're not stupid, if anything you are highly wonderful. Don't be sad, Malpass, don't say that about yourself.

Happy?

Let's return to this topic and in particular this thread.

It's quite amusing to watch Nick slowly but steadily losing his cool with with the idiots on the messageboards. Not that I intend to wade in and try and stir things up of course...

I quite liked Nick's reply in 15 to an earlier post...
"Because if I had been flying a Lancaster over Germany during the war, and three engines and a the tailplane were shot off, I'd count that as destruction."

The television board is the biggest and best engine and should get you home safely.

Oh dear, it appears it's my post that LoudMouthedPillockGeoff took exception to. I have a reply in the moderation queue on the board.

So what would you call a prat at the BBC that has BBC BLACKOPs plastered over his laptop? Blackops generally referring to illegal covert activities being carried out by underground organisations that want to maintain denaiablity about their activities.

So are you all comfortable with someone being paid out of the licence fee who thinks that's his job description, coz I'm not.
