Title: I am so unloved
Post by: Trevor on October 18, 2021, 05:17:08 PM

I am glad to see my smites have snuck overnight - it must mean people are reading my opinions  :D

And Mike, what do you means - 'not here'

"Here" is the forum and my opinions, Trev.  You do not bother me at all with your opinions.  "Here" is essentially me, mate.  I could have worded it better, I reckon.

It is funny how people on other forums have reacted to that 'armed bears' signature - many people read it the wrong way around and have a go at me for supporting guns  - farken makes me laugh I can tell ya - I just love correcting them

Who is that guy, Trev? 
Title: Re: I am so unloved
Post by: Trevor on October 22, 2021, 10:46:34 AM
a former Australian Prime Minister (PM) - Gough Whitlam - PM from 1972 until 1975 - his Government was dismissed by the then Queens Representative in Australia, the Governor General (GG) John Kerr - the rules have been changed so that no GG can ever sack a Government again - whatever side you vote for this should have never been allowed to happen, where a person can just decide to dismiss a valid sitting duly elected Government

He called everyone 'comrade', he was a very socialist PM and the architect of many of the socialist programs we have today, Medicare - free health care is just one

Interestingly, in the 2nd video he talks about the role of the media - nothing seems to have changed

Thanks Trev.  Never heard of the guy.  So far off of my USA radar I'd more than likely pull in radio from Neptune.

Learn something every day I say. 

Keep on posting and consider joining the V8 Central Fantasy League in 2022.  Open to all.  Loved, and not loved.   8)

Browsed it here and there, but in all honesty, I have never been much of a straight line fan.  Nothing against it, just not my cup of tea.

I am a 'roundy roundy bloke, so I am out of the circle with their straight line stuff, but I love the banter.  When they bring it up, I say I like to last longer than 9 seconds, the joke goes over their heads

Their ignorance of Australia has astounded me for years - I have been a member there since 2007 and have about 18,721 posts on there

I am very concerned. Obviously I need to lower my game, my 'applauds' are ahead of my 'smites'

There is some grace in the world, I see @Sonic has more 'smites' than 'applauds', what are you doing right Phil?

perhaps simply not caring what others think works? but that is somewhere you stand well already Trev! maybe it is a rebellion against authority?

With so few active members online at any one time it's not hard to work out who is having "fun" for no reason.

I noticed that you had a lot of "fun" with my score.  ;) ;D

think it would be interesting if the site actually logged who gave the likes/smites... and if those who do would still be game to do so if they were known (but then again, it's an internet forum and many folk don't give a crap)

Mine seems to be creeping up too which is interesting to me. Didn't think I had said anything that warranted so much 'smiting', especially considering I've hardly posted in the last few weeks.

3033 views and 56 replies on this thread.

Just consider that a single annoying post is posted just once but can be read thousands of times.

The potential for annoyed viewers adding an applaud or smite greatly exceeds the posts.

I am sometimes tempted to join in.  ;D

It'd be really interesting if we could see how many smites each user has handed out! On some sites such as Stack Exchange, it costs you points to downvote things.... not a bad idea.

Actually, until this string, I thought that the smite/applaud were the province of the admin.

I would prefer to see it scrapped, then we wouldn't have rubbish topics like this one. It seems a bit like two schoolboys having a pissing competition.

I've read all the replies and check the scores and it all looks fine to me.

As per the other advice - ignore it if you want, focus on it if you must.

I treat it as an "indicator" of what the person is like on the forums...
Very much agree.
