This forum is a waste of space.

John Oakman's forum is a place where people pretend to debate as the thought police patrol the boards to make sure everyone is subscribing to same politically correct socially accepted tones which just happen to be the latest fashionable trendy mindset. They don't really dig down deep into the issues, they debate with predefined templates based on what has already been debated in the past. The templates are designed to keep you from going off into the deeper higher level issues of society. Paired with the thought police, they are severely handicapped. In here we boldly discuss firmly the harsh realities and take the abuse of the thought police.

I am wildly amused by these comments. You just keep martyring yourself.

How strange. That sounded a lot like the old Soapbox, where Ilion and you would attempt to shout down. You would shout at people (just like you do now), while Ilion would abuse the old bug and remove their messages. On the contrary, the private forum feels like a real Back Room, where hackers can talk reasonably, and debate things. I've not seen any template apart from the obvious [point, rebuttal, counter-point]. I don't often post, but it's quite comfortable Incidentally, "John Oakman" is invalid. You've mangled a real name with an Internet pseudonym. A better sentence would be "Jon 'Oakman'" or "Jon (Oakman)"

You act like the thought police. You shout at people who disagree with you, and ignore the rational points. You have become the very thing you hate

If you're gonna use a semicolon, at least do it correctly.
He cannot help his illiteracy, nor indeed his stupidity. In fact, come to thinkof it, he cannot boring people, insulting them, annoying them or generally being an arse. Let him play with random punctuation, he will get one of them right one day, then he can be ever so proud.

Stupid is a stupid does. Jackass.

Thank you. You've proved my point - that you and CSS shout down people who you disagree with

Twinkle dink time is over RF-Chippy. He was kindly informing you of a simple fact, just as I do. I am a very kind and gentle person.

RF-Chippy? I quite like that - Ilion, if you haven't thought of a new name for me on your list, that's the one I want; it's really funny

Doesn't stop you from vomiting expletives everywhere. That doesn't look very kind or gentle to me

A "troll" ? With quotes ? Awesome. Can I be intellectually dishonest, too ? How about at the same time ? That would rock.

It should just be shut down, its total junk. Nothing more than a blog for Ilidiot and 'Captain not so Sharp' The old SB used to be interesting. Ammusing, fun. Splitting it in two has taken all the life out of it.

Haven't you noticed it isn't listed with the rest of the other forums. There's a reason for that.
