I doubt that any UK Universities have time to deal with anything at the beginning of term, even if anyone in the relevant departments new what you were talking about… ---

No, posthole, it’s not okay. In fact, since you were banned yesterday, I’m very certain, you’ll be banned again today. Why don’t you just bugger off, yob. ---

Can anyone spell glory supporter for me? \*\* I’m tired of them winning all the time. As well as it being bad for competitive sport, the paranoid mentality they show while thrashing everyone grated long before they started winning. To answer anyone who says you only hate them cos you’re jealous of their success, I hated them when they were finishing mid-low table, and if they got relegated, I’d still hate them. I hate Alex Ferguson, I hate the way they intimidate referees, I hate their glory-hunting fans, and OK, I hate the fact they win a lot too. I studied in Manchester, and was living so near to Old Trafford I could hear the roar when they scored. That was the year they won the double, beating Liverpool in the FA Cup Final. Gits. ---

Biffer. WHy do you think CD got so harshly treated? s/he started a load of threads attacking a moderator, and then brought her friends over to start attacking us. I hope you can understand why we reacted the way we did. I’m not familiar with [music365.com](http://music365.com) myself. I’m sure you are a fine bunch of people. But why is it “Bloody marvelous” that a group of people basically “invaded” this board. (I know invaded is a strong word, I just cannot think of something more appropriate. To the 365 influx: If you wish to stay, (and there are people that would like to see some of you stay. You can make a positive contribution) you will see that we arent a bad bunch of people. It’s just we do have a tendency to look out for our own, just as you people do. Lets just this nonsense behind us, and crack a beer in MPSIMS. If you wish, I will start a thread in MPSIMS to welcome you to the board, have a little introduction to show there is no hard feelings and we’ll all go along as normal. If you dont want to do that, but still wish to post, feel free. I, for one, will forget about this and continue on my merry way. If you wish to leave, then that is your perogative. I think you can add something. you dont seem like too bad a bunch, and if this crap can be forgotten we can get on with our posts. The offer is there. ---

This is not a court of law . This is not a democracy . The Admin. make the rules the Admin. can change the rules. The Admin. don’t even have to keep to the rules ( They tend to be very fair and just however ) . It’s their site they can do whatever the hell they like including banning you all . It’s up to the Admin. You all are/where here to cause trouble/hassle and have fun with it . A few nice and good posts does not change that . . There are posts all over this MB from some of you that are placed intentionally in the hope that somebody picks up on it . Now that you’ve seen the place I think some of you quite like it . Great , enjoy . No. 1 rule . DON’T BE A JERK . No. 2 rule . DON’T PISS OFF THE ADMIN. ---

**Biffer** – I hope you can see from the (45 ish ?) responses to your (unfortunately) transparently tabloid and clichéd OP in the thread: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=38029](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=38029) that this Board is not really your run of the mill UK message board. There is a rare level of both intelligence and willingness to debate on every subject imaginable amongst the members here. FWIW, I think that is because the States is (at least) two years ahead of the UK in ‘internet maturity’ and many of the people here were doing their thing on AOL before Freeserve was a glint in Dixon’s eye. All I’m suggesting is that if you haven’t had a good look around, please do so. You might find the threads and archive interesting. I also suspect that you are attracting the hostility of some people because they, and all of us, value what happens here and therefore the perceived interruption of normal service is not welcomed. The rest is up to you. ---

I accept that you lot back each other up, and I hope you can understand that’s basically what we’ve done. CDMilk does do things like that, and you guys aren’t the first to get pissed off by her, and you won’t be the last. However, we all like her, and will stand up for her. Therefore, she’s banned (and doesn’t want to come back), and this seems a good site, some users (like yourself) seem pretty decent, and there are some good topics around, maybe we can drop this all. I hope the cracking a beer in MPSIMS doesn’t start a ‘who can drink the most’ thread again, and mine’s a pint. 🙂 If the admin decide to ban us, then no hard feelings. If not, let’s hope things go upwards and onwards from here. Peace ---

And personally, I found her highly predictable. And don’t bother me with that Statue of Liberty crap. First of all, I’m not American, but Dutch. And second, we’re usually not that hung up about nationalities anyway. A tradition your friend CDM so harshly broke. ---

Slo, you have only seen the harsh side of these people, which is very unfortunate. **please** forget about this and start again. read the all the boards, stay out of the pit for a while. You will see that all the qualities you attribute to CDM are prevailent in a lot of these people, (even coldfire and UncleBeer ;)) People get off on the wrong foot. personally, I’m sick of the shit that has happened over the last few days. One of the Regulars turned into a Lunatic, plus a few minor squabbles had feelings running pretty high. Forgive me if I sound a little Rodney King, but “Cant we all just get along”? Don’t worry, I normally aint the type of person to be playing the pipes of peace, but hell, lets all just get on with it. ---

Can anyone explain why the statue of Liberty was build by the French? Are they internationally-renowned statue builders? Am I missing something? If I wanted a big statue, the French wouldn’t be at the top of my list, I have to say… ---
