    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.

            FTFY You're right. This is just a hole in the site, filled with the bile and vomit of Ilion and CSS. Do they have nothing better to do?

              Spoken like a true "troll." Or, at any rate, troll-wannabe: 'cause now that you've called ne "Ilidiot" you're sure to be accepted. Right?

                  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.

                      You know I am right because people are slowly trickling back down to earth. John's hands don't provide the proper seal to be able to contain and control the fluidity of natural conversation.

                          It is a slow trickle. As they drip through and fall back to earth; they get up to dust themselves off, look around, and blurt out some obscenities to make themselves known.

                                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)"

                                  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.

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

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

                                          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.
