Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

Frantically saturating a given thread with tweets is a good rule of thumb when approaching topics that may in fact exceed your ken.

consider that if you find yourself in this situation you have a third choice which is not to post at all

Nonsense! The aim is to share the gems you've unearthed in your quest for international omniscience.

Now you're sounding like me, pom.

pom, do you like canine poms?

Just pointing out yet again I was posting about Scandinavian politics and a uk poster told me I didn't know what I was talking about and should shut the fuck up

We've always been on the same wavelength as regards this… most enriching invention.

2xp

Funny you should ask, sarahell. The answer is no.

Looking forward to you being characterized as doddery old buffer too.

lol

pom otm re canine poms, they’re horrible. our old dog was 1/4 pom and that was more than enough tbh

Just pointing out yet again

not to be a dick, but in general, if you start a sentence with this phrase, it is likely you actually don't need to post that sentence, and you aren't going to change anyone's minds.

It was on a uk newspaper thread as well. I've put forth the very reasonable suggestion that we split ilx in two and let the uk posters have their own space, and the rest of us can post in peace.

I know that sara. The uk posters are constantly lying no matter what. Still.

Wouldn't mind visiting Pomerania, though. Gdańsk aka Danzig is in it.

Partition always works when the UK’s involved!

Can I have danelaw back?

No hint of xenophobia in Fred's last two posts. Reasonable as ever.

pomeranian dogs are very very cute imo

Gdańsk is very good, can strongly recommend. Pretty sure we visited a restaurant Hitler had been to (not on purpose) & I got some lovely amber there.

xp they are but they have horrible temperaments.

Betcha Hitler was fond of Pomeranians.

so *is* the guardian worse than it used to be

Discuss pomeranians and someone has to mention Hitler, isn't that always the way?

He owned a German Shepherd iirc. But yeah, this is not how I expected this thread to prove (yet again) the validity of Godwin's law.

Pretty sure Hitler would have no truck with pomeranians, tbf to Hitler.

I only appear less combative because there is less to be combative about not because I have calmed down. I will never calm down.

Hitler's repulsive treatment of Blondi should have fucked up his PETA NSDAP membership!

Just pointing out yet again that I have been OTM on this thread.

Blondi vs. Blondie T/S

Remind me, which one did Hitler have killed so they didn't fall into the hands of the Russians?

It's going to be a bleak day when there is an Iowa Politics thread and only mh and and fred will be posting.

in the Florida politics thread, Alfred and I will just be having drinks, but all are free to join

Blondi (dog)

Suggesting a safe space for yourself and your pals so you can shoot off on your mediocre opinions?

Seattle is north of Vancouver tho

― Fantastic. Great move. Well done (sic)

sure, but nobody cares about vancouver washington

How I break it down: there is an unnecessary kneejerk element to some of the responses when Fred pops up in a thread but on the other hand I feel like you have a track record of being a patronising centrist Fred and if that's not what you're going for it's coming across badly.

wait I have to give up me UK ilxor chums so I can be segregated with FRED?

is there going to be a vote on this?

locked in here with me

I don't care about the Fred's 'centrism', I leave that to the Jacobins to get exercised over, but, yes to patronizing, touchy, belligerent.

Just think you could exercise the benefit of the doubt sometimes?

yes but what about fred

I've given a lot more benefit of the doubt to Fred than a lot of people on here, who just attack him on sight. Not that that matters to Fred, he just tars everyone with the same brush.

possibly understandable behaviour given yr first sentence tbfttd

What does that mean?

heh, step back man. i agree btw yr not unreasonable to fred fwiw

im only pointin out that when he is attacked on sight by several in a thread then hes gonna scattergun back a bit

I was just asking!

heh, internet communications eh
