I didn’t think I’d see anyone accused of debating “without honour”.
What is this, the 19th Century?
Are we next going to see a demand for “pistols at dawn”.
Steophan- engage in argument with cites and facts rather than unsupported belief. Stop running away.
Outrage! It’s waffles or else.

If anyone wants their mind boggled check out the last few pages of the U.K. election thread. Pjen has one stretch of 15 damn posts in a row. After one apparently devastating point made she ends with “over to you” then proceeds to post six more times. Steophan wasn’t exactly helping stop the hijack either, of course.
It is only because you are committing ad hominem against her in saying anything about her and that you are an english nationalist that you see any problems and do not agree with her.
This started off so well. I suppose we need a separate thread for, rather than, by Pjen.
The waffle* is a Scottish invention appropriated by Parliament, and any attempt to lay claim to it is a violation of European Law.
- From the Gaelic * Uef Lach*, or “plaid toast”.
The recent flood of IMHO slapfights in The Pit reminds me of a junior high prom planning committee.
This one was still funny and worth the read though.
“And, if you do so accept, do you accept that Parliament is bound by it, such that some of its actions may, in theory, be declared unconstitutional and thus invalid?”
Because, if a Constitution can’t be used to invalidate the acts of a government, what good is it?
Yes. Wait. What have I just signed?
Hah hah! Now you’re British!
Does she ever post about anything else?
Blimey!
Bangers. And mash.
I think Pjen is a he. Don’t quote me.
Anything else than what? The Scottish referendum? Or the U.K. general election? Or the latest horrible thing the United States is doing?
I was absolutely entranced by the opportunity to follow a thread with our Scottish and other U.K. posters commenting on the referendum. I’m also very interested in the upcoming U.K. election. Also, frankly, I’m interested in what people from other countries view as issues with the U.S.
Pjen makes such threads useless. His/Her prejudices, inanities, and inability to shut the fuck up every once in a while is what make those threads useless. (I mean, 40% of the posts in the U.K. election thread? Really? Most of which are not ever responding to other posters, but are some sort of chain-of-thought type posts.)
Pjen’s responses to other poster’s comments indicate that he/she is not actually listening to them, but only thinking about what he/she will post next in response to what he/she had already decided that they are saying. That style of communication doesn’t work on a message board any better than it does in real life.
I think she mentioned sometime that she’s originally English and her husband is Scottish. Unless he’s gay.
The OP lost me when comparing a murderer to Rosa Parks. I hate the death penalty but that was one seriously offensive bit of stupidity.
I like the idea of saying “You are debating without honor” in a Michael Dorn impression. It gives me the funny idea of a Klingon debating society.
Bow wow wow yippee yo yippee yay.
The Belgians are gonna be PISSED.
If you really want to set them off, start making colcannon with Brussels Sprouts in place of cabbage. Or, you know, get the Irish to do it…
Who thinks Pjen would be happier if he put everyone on ignore? The difference in posting style and tone would probably be unnoticeable.
