    Snip snip and more snip

    Morning All,

    <snip>

    one of the beauties of this forum in the old days, was that we were all forced to use our grey matter to insult each other within the contraints of the vocabulary offered by the Oxford English Dictionary.

    In our 'real' world lives it's easy to swear and every body is doing it all the time

    but CUK presented an oasis of gentlemanly insults using the Queen's English.

    I am a particular fan of Shaunbhoys wit he is one of the champions of clever funny insults without swearing, as is Sas

    for me, it takes the fun out things to simply write one word, you're a <snip> rather than trying to find a funny string of Queen's English vocabulary to express the same

    If CUK wants to go down the slippery path of accepting then CUK should not be surprised as the boundaries are breached and breached further and further in the same direction

    Smilies can emphasize the humour in a sentence, like adding or or , etc

    but bringing in and and takes the fun and effort away from what used to be very interesting and very funny

    CUK it's your choice, but do not be surprised by the new lows which will continue to be explored

    <snip>

    as I absolutely do not advocate the use of and as my pleas are ignored by the majority, then why should I go against the tide, why not to embrace the new direction and encourage the reaching of new boundaries ?

    CUK, the Contractor's Forum

    in the past CUK represented professionals and nobody could complain at the high standard of insults, but these days, with it becomes embarressing to be associated with such a bunch of <snip>

    I'll stay though, because this is fun, to help CUK reach new lows and to see where it ends and who will win, those wishing to lower the forum and Contractors in general, or those wishing that CUK remains an oasis of old fashioned standards of gentlemanly humour

    Milan.

        If you read the post I made yesterday about this then maybe you would not have made this post. Use of the winker and puke smilies are fine if not over used. If they are used too much then I would remove them.

        Your post is a little OTT. Appreciate you not liking the smilies so cast your vote in the poll and I will reconsider their place on the board in a day or so.

          hi Administrator,

          I voted for them - one has to embrace change and not fight it - Darwinism in action on CUK

          Can someone please start working on the graphic of the new smilie for <snip>

          ta,

          Milan.

              Hi Admin,

              if I am banned for this protest, it will not have been in vain.

              The analogy you are what you eat applies here too, you are what you smiley

              The membership questions the decay of society, the out of control teenagers, encouraging such expression here only succeeds to add coal to that whole fire

              CUK was an oasis of gentlemanly humour without direct personal insults using words outside the mandate of the Oxford dictionary, hopefully CUK will try to continue that path

              Milan.

                Go to the naughty corner and think about your actions. Spend 1 minute for each year you have been on the earth or for each IQ point you have.

                Either way, see you in about 3/4 of an hour.
