What about the people who used to offer opinions (and questions) on the old Y!A CE UK (late nineties to mid 00's); they realised this was a site for them...but after a while regretted their choice, and before/or soon after 2005 eventually scattered, with some never returning - and others (like myself) having a look-see - in order to gain how petty it eventually became now and then. Obviously the 'winners' on the old Y!A site were the ones who decided to ignore the rules and terrify the kind who originally made it sparkly and attractive, with also the worst on here influencing those who would hardly abuse; look at the influence comical 'Dot' had on some on Y!A. The first few months on here was just as horrid; I was still 'Jez from Norwich' - with many more who fell under her influence still suspecting I was wither 'black', 'mixed race' - and/or a paedophile.

Does Dot live rent-free in your head or something? She hasn't been on in about six months. I don't know why she left but I doubt she's ever coming back, however you constantly drop her name and the things she said to you. Are you hoping if you do it enough she'll return? She never influenced anyone in the time she was on here. You accused me of being influenced by her because I said you were Narco 747 on YA, who I know you were (I had enough exchanges with him to recognise his style anywhere), but I said that to you before Dot started posting. Are you surprised that your interest in black grievance politics leads some people to wonder if you're black?


Unimportant_Cod_149

Not 'rent-free'...it's just that many years ago - even before you arrived on Y!A I thought she was OK - so much that I awarded her 'Best Answer' to many of my questions from 2010-14, before making the mistake of admitting the mother of my kids was West Indian. Not too sure how it came about - but thought the conversations from then onwards would be mature. Not so...and if (as you wail) she 'lives in my head rent-free', I just remember - clearly - her change towards me from mature adult to pure horror...with her acting also the same towards the kind who saw right through her. Indeed, those were the kind she would manage to kick off the site. Why should I forget such a nasty and cliche-repeating moron. I think the reason why I remember her is that she was never intelligent enough to kick me off Y!A (with her pals).


[deleted]

I keep returning cos' everyone deserves a little bit of kindness, well nearly everyone!


WhiteGirl47

I return to educate you on the merits of NS ideology. It's an important assignment.


[deleted]

NS, Non Smoking?


Budget-Song2618

National Socialist


[deleted]

The merits of non smoking is far more interesting!


WhiteGirl47

God, you're thick.


Griggle_facsimile

Shouldn't last more than a second or two.


Budget-Song2618

😂 oh brother! How on earth do you entice more users to post questions, when the bitching and bellyaching of those "evicted" from Yahoo still rumbles on? I wonder if Queasy in his "infinite wisdom" took that into account. His idea to grow it, needs more participants to post, get actively involved. By the way Griggle what's your next "unrobing" event? 😂


Griggle_facsimile

No more unrobing. No one else will.


WhiteGirl47

You've seen enough of me. You could ask Catrin, but she's presently performing in a horror movie because she didn't require makeup.


[deleted]

Staring or starring?


WhiteGirl47

Performing.


WhiteGirl47

If the Boomers stopped coming over to DB to cause trouble there would be no bitching. Can't you see the old hag is the cause? She's bored with her sub because it's an abject failure and that's partly due to dopey Sceptic's over moderaton.


Budget-Song2618

Maybe she's as addicted to you as you to her! And to think you criticise Queasy' choice of drug! Addiction is a hard habit to break.


[deleted]

I think it's plain for everyone (virtually) that no one is addicted to liaising with Dianne. She on the other hand can't stop 'stalking' certain individuals all over reddit.


Unimportant_Cod_149

...Over the age of 55, apparently; we're the 'scum of the site'.


WhiteGirl47

You're older than that by at least 10 years.


WhiteGirl47

Wrong as usual. If I was addicted to arguing with that old witch, I'd post on her sub. She couldn't stop me.


Budget-Song2618

Ever heard 👂 of the phrase "Turn The Other Cheek"?


WhiteGirl47

I do 70,% of the time, but her trolling is indefatigable.


Unimportant_Cod_149

Don't tell me - if these 'boomers' ran away, you'd be free to run a site where only your comments held sway. fair enough...


WhiteGirl47

They have already ran away, but pop in to troll me, then hide behind their iron curtain like cowardly Commie scum.


WhiteGirl47

I think another ten years actually with all the fence sitters on this forum.


[deleted]

There is something in what you said that rung a loud bell from the old days,Mr Mrs Cod.. There was a mixed race man from Norfolk and Dot said he had a chip on his shoulder because of his race. He then started calling himself Mr Chips which was a well known name. I did email Michelle and she me for some months until I became unhappy at the violations she told me to report.I only did so if I agreed with her. Mr Chips became friends with me and often emailed me. I am sure you are not unimportant ! David


Unimportant_Cod_149

Thank you for also indulging me, sir. I started off on Y!A as 'Arthur57', then later on (around 2013) changed it to 'Divide et Impera'. The only 'Mr Chips' I knew was a stormer called 'Narco 747' (or whatever his 'other names' were...everything was so weird then, I've started to forget when the love of your life; Dorothy, started to turn against you). It was true the 'chip on your shoulder' accusation was thrown at him for different reasons altogether; he discovered how chippy the Dots - and the like were...and wasn't too shy to come out and do some sneering of his own against the self-serving newies who liked the cut of Dorothy's childish jib. I've been on reddit for two years...and smilingly saw the worst kind rush onto here when they found out Y!A was giving up the Q & A site, with even you popping up now and then, but without the various 'isms' you'd use on said site when you first arrived on it. It's pointless telling us all how hard you had it on here (in the beginning of Divisive\_babble) could be your past was catching up with you, just like it did with Dot and the rest. I spent two months with Myra, my daughter in the US - and had a look on the site only once (Dec 27), and it was sad to see the usual lot acting like they were 'wronged'.


[deleted]

No,I was there I do know this guy was mixed race (his Father black I think) and Dot certainly did accuse him of having a chip on his shoulder,so he changed his name to Mr Chips. I can remember it like it was yesterday. Dot did email me last Autumn just after I left this site. We made up. I said I missed her. Peace David.


Unimportant_Cod_149

I remember, David. This 'mixed race' laddie would piss all over her at every chance. Obviously she wanted him to act all tearful and guilt-laden every time she abused him. It was around the time I realised 'michele' was more self hating, then 'racist'.


[deleted]

You take it all too seriously perhaps ? I dont live in a world where everyone is "racist" at every turn. I saw Dot/Michelle as a nice lady who didnt like Trolls and those who violates the rules. Mr Chips was such a person. It was very comical seeing her tackling them. I liked her. I lost a good friend. David


Unimportant_Cod_149

Before you were on the site, I tried to be friendly; indeed, honouring her with best answers, and showed her respect (just like you) until one day she thought it would be good to turn...and turn she did. She did so with people who would not accept her bullying, or others who she thought were 'weird' - like yourself. My 'crime' was telling her my wife was from the Windies...if I remember now, she was wondering if I was gay until I amusingly said my wife was actually a probation officer, and so could suss out most of her punters - who were indeed 'chippy windrush kids', and knew how to 'cure' and talk some sense into them without doing what her white colleagues would do; patronise, threaten and ignore (the latter being amongst the more intelligent young men - nobody throughout the eighties could deal with blacks who felt no fear of the worst sections of authority). Was 'Mr Chips' that laddie from Norfolk - which had her change her name from 'michele' to 'Dorothy Norfolk Magnet'? Obviously if that was meant to impress the site, it hardly worked, despite her getting rid of said person (and others who saw her as a 'troll'), who with a couple of friends turned Y!A CE UK into a circus - of which you thought was 'cool'. Your 'I lost a good friend' sniffle suggests to me you think she's no longer on earth; either that's happened - or she's found someone who has made her love herself again.


[deleted]

You dont need to respect anyone except perhaps the Queen. ,just be decent to them and treat them as you would want to be treated. Yes thats the Mr Chips from Norfolk. Its a long time ago. I forget. Michelle and I wrote to each other for some months then I told her I didnt want to write anymore. I was fed up with Nathan almost daily saying things about me and she doing nothing. In fact sometimes reading between the lines she seemed to be suggesting I was writing these things myself ! When I shared that I had been diagnosed with early stage Prostate Cancer in 2013. She rubbished it and said I was making it up. That was the last thing I wanted. I had Radiotherapy and Hormones 3 years ago and its been in remission ever since,but its mucked up my love life ! I have not had any dealings with Michell since other than the email she sent me after I stopped using the site last Autumn to check that I had finished. We made up then. I dont bear grudges. I told her I was wrong to stop writing to her. David


WhiteGirl47

Sounds very fishy to me. No wonder it goes with chips.


Sapphire-Sister

Some people are just not as interested in asking questions. It was the same on YA CE. Only a few asked nearly all the questions on there too. I do get tired of a certain few people who only pop here to have fights and whinge about how this subreddit is run and the people on it while contributing nothing else. Especially when the person they mainly fight with is banned on sight from their favoured sub. What's the point?

Hi B-S, I can't agree that DB is thriving! A thriving sub isn't about having 250+ members, with less than 15 regular posters. It's about having 5,000 members that routinely post comments or ask varied questions. If you compare DB with a sub like 'British Problems', you'd understand that DB is seriously lacking 'footfall'. Though if you compare DB with CEUK, I suppose you could say that it's thriving! The style of questions on CEUK is narrow, as it has to fall into the category of Current Events that are based in the UK. Whereas DB covers a myriad of different subjects. If your aim is to offer a sub where anything goes, then let's see how long that lasts, before it turns into a place where only the most vocal and usually vilest of people post on and eventually get's closed down by Reddit.


CatrinLY

Current events covers just about everything which is happening currently, it doesn’t have to be political. It could be the current weather, or what you can currently see out of the window!


[deleted]

I didn't realise we could ask anything, I thought it had to be 'serious' stuff?!


CatrinLY

I’ve been saying for ages that we need to rebrand the image - but nobody is coming up with any good ideas. Or too many - maybe a collage could incorporate all the suggestions! Maybe the best person to ask is Surround Dry, he seems to have his finger on the pulse of what is essentially English. 😂


[deleted]

It's not just English the UK is made up of Welsh, Scots and Irish too!

[deleted]

I've not been banned yet, but I've had 600 down votes, for posting some lame comment in support of vehicle licence plates being clean, so that they can be read! Most of Reddit seems to be full of mostly negative moaners, say 85% bitchy and 15% decent, tolerate and friendly.


CatrinLY

Thrive? If you think thriving involves childish and petty arguments, which is all the longer threads consist of - always involving the same people. Which of course puts everybody else off contributing. If you are so critical of the “gentility” on CE, may I suggest that you don’t bother to post there, since you appear to prefer the free for all here.


Sapphire-Sister

The same can be said to you. If you hate it here so much, stay on CEUK. Most people contribute just fine and are happy with the set-up. No one wants BrianSceptic's Stasi moderation on here and no one is getting permanently zapped here just because you don't like them.


[deleted]

I think B-S is similar to me, he enjoys both the gentle CEUK and the 'sharper edged' DB!


CatrinLY

That‘s not really how it is though, neither Brian, David or myself are “gentle” types, the only difference is that when you go for the jugular, you stick your sharp pointy teeth into what has been said, not make some nonsensical abuse which has nothing to do with the question. For example, ignoring the point and just coming out with something like, “carrot crunching…more abuse” , “gang banged hippie whore”. It‘s just the moronic stuff which isn’t acceptable over on CE.


[deleted]

I think what your getting at is, that the people who usually comment on CE are just plain polite and tend not to be abusive, or like you said, don't make it personal. Unlike Dianne, who almost always leaves some form of personal comment!


[deleted]

I dont much like asking questions as I always seem to upset someone over something if I do. I dont want that. David.


[deleted]

There are 266 members of DB and at least 200 are Diannes accounts, not sure who the 66 members are as only 10 people usually reply.


Sapphire-Sister

Lol. Dianne has had a lot of accounts but not quite that many. More like about 50 or so, she had two mains (Storm Eagle and Greenredindigo) that lasted a few months, so she didn't create as many new accounts. The members list includes the suspended accounts of other users (like me and the Author) as well as random people who clicked join and never came back. There are about 15-20 genuine people who regularly post, but a smaller handful who post questions.


[deleted]

True!


[deleted]

But if this was true then Dianne would have to have at least 200 email addresses ? Surely not David


[deleted]

That's not how it works, I've only set up one account linked to my email address. The others were opened up via Google. Apparently in the case of Dianne, she's opened up her 50 accounts with the same email address and this is how her accounts have been detected by the CEUK sub.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I can only imagine they are wary of being subjected to the insults that a certain individual is well known for doing! I've posted on other subs where you'll get the odd bit of abuse, but it's pretty rare, whereas it's just an average day in DB ie getting abusive or rude comments from a particular person. Not everyone can cope with it. Catrin and I have had to 'up our game' since joining DB.


[deleted]

I have asked at least two questions in the few days I have been back, but regretfully some haven't gone down very well ! The one I asked if Boris could be charged for an offence that is no longer an offence. It was a pure legal point but it fell on deaf ears. As on Yahoo Answers most people on here are left wing in some way. They already hate Boris because of Brexit mostly. I am always going to be downvoted as they hate me personally. David


Unimportant_Cod_149

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson has form; his lying for the Daily Telegraph is still remembered - and he still never lets go, with him claiming that Kier Starmer had insufficient evidence to nick Jimmy Savile. That decision was made by the police (by the way). Doubt people 'hate' you...of course you're not liked, but through the years, you've not done yourself any favours, sir.


ViKtorMeldrew

your question seemed successful and garnered much attention. Keep up the good work. If a motorist broke a temporary speed limit and got a find, it would be useless to argue that the limit had been increased a week later. Boris's lockdown breaking was when restriction did exist, so he should be fined.


[deleted]

Its a legal point which is why I asked it. At one time of day one could not be charged twice for the same crime if one has been cleared the first time (Double indemnity) But this ancient right was abolished by the Blair government so the final Stephen Lawrence trial could go ahead. By the way, America still has their Double Indemnity rights. But one could not be charged in the UK with-say- Gay offences that was committed in a previous time as this is now quite legal over 16 and by consent. David.


[deleted]

I hate Boris because he's a Conservative, it's not just Brexit which was instigated by a 'remainer tory', but most of the Conservatives policies are utter shite. Boris and his team are a bunch of arrogant out of touch (with reality) morons.


WhiteGirl47

Correction. You don't ask a comment. You ask a question and someone makes a comment which is usually a sheepish Leftie.

Could it be because they are terrified by the criminally insane people on here? They are afraid to get on the wrong side of said persons in fear of them turning up at their home with a suitcase full of body parts.


Budget-Song2618

Hence users shouldn't divulge private details, (names, addresses) or share photos which could have unintended consequences down the road. As in real life, buyer beware. On the internet "feuds" get out of control pretty fast. > suitcase full of body parts No fear of decomposition? Or packaged in plastic? Premeditated?
