It's happened... TR has officially lost the plot

And I, for one, welcome the new insane TR. Hopefully he'll be nicer to everyone.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Joining in. Yaaaaayyyy!Having my first season back as a fan after working in the NRL for a few seasons, so figured I'd keep off forums and such to remain unbiased.
But now I'm back with my often aggressive opinions on everything from the Raiders to what you should have for lunch!

Looking forward to the new former lurker posting something having a shot at someone or something and Rra apologising for said someone or something.

I bow down to thee oh great Nickman, the wisest of the wise, your political adroitness is unsurpassed, your sagacity is unmatched, your wisdom shines through on this forum amongst us mere mortals as bright as your scalp under the light of a full moon, never shall I doubt your analytical prowess again. You are my hero, my lord, my savior, may you accept my offerings so you continue to bless us with your genius.

I'm sick of you embarrassing me at Christmas dinners about my posting with no recourse to hit back.

Yeah, Ross. You.
You've mentioned this Ross before. Is he as congenial as Albi? We miss Albi Image
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

I miss Rodman pre McCrone when he contributed things other than "McCrone Sucks". I assume he's at the dragons forum now (if they have enough fans to support one).

Also post whatever his first username was (escapes me at present). He was a knob under that one.

Basically he had a good year or two there.

I've been a member since 2012 I think. And since I've started posting more (last 6 months) I spend even more time on here! My missus hates all of you btw. (Except Nickman, trusty Nickman)

Tip for lurkers try the Tapatalk app on your mobile device. Makes it much easier to get involved.

Maybe Nickman should make use of our 2 new posters, combine their thoughts, and go with Mongolian Lamb for lunch. Helpful segway by Simo

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.
