    It's not the election - I'm enjoying that; it's much more entertaining than the politics here in the UK, it's the bits between elections.

      Here's a bit of advice for the next time you find yourself in over your head, re: creidt cards Go to creditcard.com and search for a card that has a zero interest rate for balance transfers. Get the card, transfer the balance(s) from your high rate cards and you can dig yourself out of debt a whole lot quicker.

      There is no such thing in SA.  In  fact, it's probably not even legal.  Do you mean they charge no interest on transferred balance, only on new charges, since you switch to their card?

        No, that's your reply to someone else. And there you go again whining to the Lounge about things going on in The Soapbox. Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.

              If there are any bastards around here it's me. For your own edification you should stop trying to police this website; it's not yours and it worked quite well without your presence. Furthermore, the members here (including me) don't understand your petty obsession with trying to get other members banned. If you keep it up, I'll start a petition to get you banned so that all this petty griping and false moral superiority of yours can stop nauseating the other members. If you don't like the Soapbox, stay out. Nobody is forcing you to read it. And if it's very existence bothers you, do us all a favour and stop coming to this website.

                Don't mind me while I report that as abuse. Btw: how many abuse reports does it take to get one banned? EDIT: I knew I should have quoted you. Thanks for the '1-votes', btw. What's with your immature behaviour anyways?

                        What seems to be Ilion's problem? According to Wikipedia, 'superiority complex' refers to a subconscious neurotic mechanism of compensation developed by the individual as a result of feelings of inferiority. The feelings of inferiority in this specific complex are often brought on by real or perceived social rejection, possibly as a result of the individual's inattentiveness to hygiene, appearance, or lower intelligence as compared to others. He's admitting to inattentiveness to hygiene. :laugh:

                          That's his only (ahem) witticism. If you steal it, he'll be unarmed.

                                Anger is as much an expression of his inferiority as excuses. As feelings of inferiority always produce stress, there will always be a compensatory movement towards a feeling of superiority, but not directed towards solving the problem. This movement is thus useless as the real problem is shelved and put to one side. His constant reversion to name calling and other childish taunts demonstrate how fragile his personality is.

                                  There's a disturbing trend starting here. It seems that there's very much an Us and Them mentality occurring both here and in the Lounge. I would like to think that I was equally welcome in both areas as and when I choose to visit them, and I would hope that the same applied to everybody. Yes - there are disagreements and 1 votes, but it is disturbing that there is a real schism appearing here. We're mainly grown ups, so why have we let ourselves get into this state?

                                      It seems that there's very much an Us and Them mentality occurring both here and in the Lounge. I would like to think that I was equally welcome in both areas as and when I choose to visit them, and I would hope that the same applied to everybody.

                                      Yeah I'm pretty sure that's how it is supposed to work. However there seems to be some minority demographic that sees fit to call for the banning of other members and the shutting down of forums. It's all quite juvenile. If I don't like a particular thread, I just pass it by. I haven't figured out what's so difficult about that. :shrug:

                                        Yeah, and when I call him on it he 1-votes me, deletes the message and runs. :rolleyes:
