Godot 149 Posted January 31, 2006 but it also needs the inventive and the quirky who will set off on some flight of fancy. Those quirky and inventive w**k jokes you mean? My they were hilarious. Don't know how we managed before Hacky came along and decided to share himself with us all. He really shouldn't have bothered. Don't be a curmudgeon. A few purile comments, so what? Anyway Bou or Millwall or someody suggested a poll that sounds nice and democractic, better than your comment about "where's the great one" or whatever it was. This isn't a dictatorship like Italy under Mussolini where the trains ran on time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted January 31, 2006 Shall we cut the purile name calling. Yes. Good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 607 Posted January 31, 2006 I didn't mind the purile comments but could have done without Hayley Mills' nips on full view whilst browsing at work... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godot 149 Posted January 31, 2006 Is this to be merged now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Pooka 26 Posted January 31, 2006 I don't think they do need merging... two threads show how our outrage is double! Or summat. Yep. I'm not normally one for people power but this is an exception. So... What was the best part of the Dicky O thread? For me it had to be Pooka's bordering on the pathological obsession with Tessa Wyatt... ah, heady days. Pathological obsession? Those were Tessa's last words to me. As in, 'Hey you in the bushes - you have a pathological obsession' I believe that she moved house shortly thereafter.

Windsor 2,235 Posted January 31, 2006 Is this to be merged now? I'll be damned - I want this deleted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
in eternum+ 22 Posted January 31, 2006 May I also make the humble request to our fine and upstanding moderators that two of the three Richard O'Sullivan threads be deleted or merged. One Dicky O thread is truly enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Four Horsemen 26 Posted January 31, 2006 Right, here goes: There are no "rules" per se about posting, but there are various things that could be construed as "guidance". I don't think anyone is trying to be dictatorial and control what people are posting, but I think the whole Richard O'Sullivan thread business has obscured what brought everyone/the majority to this site in the first place. I doubt anyone clicked on Deathlist.net with the intention of finding out about flower arranging or the Women's Institute. It would be preferable if the threads in the forum bore at least some relevance to the subject matter in the title, that's not to say that there can't and indeed shouldn't be a certain degree of diversion but to have 10 pages or so of a thread devoted to onanism, Hayley Mills and personal abuse is undeniably excessive when the thread originally was concerned with Richard O'Sullivan. All the forum postings need are a degree of judgement, discretion, consideration and thinking about before submitting to the live site. As a general guide, the forums are for messages relating to celebrities and the chances of their demise with a bit of added trivia and information thrown in. If you want virtual conversations on whatever subjects you wish to discuss, please use instant messangers or emails or whatever. Remember, it's quality not quantity that counts.

Grim Reaper 186 Posted January 31, 2006 I think Four Horsemen has summarised things very well. This forum does need to be steered in the right direction occasionally when it goes off at a tangent. Nobody wants to have to close threads or warn members as there are plenty of forums out there that do that way too often. There are also plenty of forums which are completely out of control and become very boring very quickly. Id be grateful if people would keep posts somewhat on topic and cut out unnecessarily offensive comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,235 Posted January 31, 2006 This thread is full of offensive stuff - you should delete it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempus Fugit 214 Posted January 31, 2006 This thread is full of offensive stuff - you should delete it. I agree this Dicky thread is superflous it should be deleted. Its primary purpose is now defunct, banish it to oblivion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
in eternum+ 22 Posted January 31, 2006 Nobody wants to have close threads or warn members as there are plenty of forums out there that do that way too often. I agree of course. But do we really need three threads?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godot 149 Posted January 31, 2006 It's part of the historical record of deathlist. It should be merged or locked as a reminder to future deathlisters of somethng they might be reminded of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Four Horsemen I have just been looking at the quality of your photograph (accidentally pressed the wrong key). It puts dear Haley to shame. Is it Windsor by any chance?

Canadian Paul 97 Posted February 1, 2006 Without having read a single post, I can't believe you guys wrote 15 pages of posts in the span of a day on RICHARD O'SULLIVAN. You guys are doing the man more justice than life itself ever has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted February 1, 2006 Original thread is now open, so this thread is locked. Let it plummet like a stone to the bottom of deathlist where it can compost down to its' base elements along with Dennis Skinner and Harvey Keitel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
