[TugWilson]

The sole of this thread has floundered , too many barbed comments , but it was an elver of a ride .

For what it’s worth, I apologise for getting involved in that binfest. Lost my head for a moment there.

Lost your Hammerhead, surely?

 

[Algernon]

hake!

 

[Bold Seagull]

Is this all down to Nicola Sturgeon.

Blimey you're a ray of sunshine. Woken up crabby this morning? Need more en-dolphins.

Okay okay, Piltdown Man wins the fish pun cup 2023 with the endorphins / en-dolphins pun. This is like squeezing a basketball into a golf hole. Just the audacity of it.

What a breath of fresh air this plaice is - absolutely no bait in sight whatsoever, no people trying to mussel in on other people’s conversations or being asked to scale back on shellfish comments - Bozza is clearly a dab hand at this.

(All we need now are a few shoals next Tuesday and all be right with the world again.)

Shouldn’t the thread title be ‘warning OFF stuff’ rather than ‘warning OF stuff’, oh wise one ?

 

[TomandJerry]

The plaice was getting out of control

You'll get battered for that, when the chips are down posters like fighting over the scraps.

Might have been deliberate and you fell for it hook line and sinker
(does this count as fish pun?)

Hmm, the case for it is pretty fin.

(WOKE WARNING!) Sorry to disrupt the tide of fish puns, but I for one am really pleased to see this. I can appreciate how much work it is for you and the mods but as our team grows in stature and popularity so to will NSC surely, and these kind of measures will become more and more unavoidable and the forum less and less welcoming if we’re not careful.

NSC has always been a very tolerant place in my eyes, (I guess there is a strong chance a lot more moderating goes on that I don’t see.) Pretty much anything other than racism/sexism/homophobia goes it seems, which isn’t all bad, we all enjoy a bit of a piss take I think, and overly sanitised forums are a bore, but there is often quite a consistent, highly unattractive undertone that does frequently drive me away for periods.

I find it so tiresome the way in which many seem completely incapable of disagreeing (debate ultimately being the heart of what makes this place interesting) without being overtly aggressive/insulting/demeaning/stubborn/forthright/arrogant/condescending etc that I personally find quite distasteful. Much, MUCH harder to moderate than the obvious use of inappropriate language/discrimination I’ll admit. Why do people feel the need to be so personal all the time. Just disagree politely! An alternate point of view to yours does not make the other person wrong, let alone ‘stupid!’

…and can we please do something to discourage the morons (hypocrite) that feel the frequent need to point out every misplaced spelling or grammatical error in a vain effort to humiliate and denigrate. I find that so tiresome and the lowest form of contribution to NSC! Not all of us have had the privilege of an equal upbringing, societal influences and/or access to education. (Que a swathe of comments re all the errors in my monologue haha)

Relax. The spelling and grammatical errors are often highlighted for the comedy. Perhaps have another read of the OP before calling people morons and hypocrites.

Very relaxed thank you! I was calling myself the hypocrite for calling out the ‘morons’

I recognise that on some occasions it is meant in ‘good’ humour, but it very often isn’t, and I personally find it a bit basic tbh.
