Personally, I don't mind moderation if there was an element of equality, but for some reason...... However, I don't recollect your "drunk" missive, probably censored before I saw it, I do acknowledge your inability to back down; other examples for spring to mind would include the existence of a station at Coulsdon North in the past rathe than Smitham.

No you probably didn't as it seemed to disappear very swiftly, even though it wasn't offensive. A bit petulant perhaps but that's what I thought you were being with the edited post, rather than replying and subsequently putting what you did about name calling when I said I thought it was quite t***tish. I'd rather it stood and took a yellow if I wanted to offend someone but that wasn't the case here. Anyway never mind, you usually post in a decent manner which was why I persued it. Other posters that almost always reply with nonsense I'd have just ignored them. You were right about Coulsdon North. I'd never known about it hence me being confused about, and questioning, whether you meant Smitham, now Coulsdon Town, which you didn't.

The problem is that the post contravened the sticky at the top of this forum where it stated :- Quote This is a warning. Personal attacks, sniping, bullying, or otherwise attacking individuals, by name or implication, has begun to undermine General Talk.
Please stick to the subject, or derailed subject - but avoid directly or indirectly attacking individual users. If you are unsure, do not refer to the individual at all, and stick to the subject. It has been my preferred method of keeping the forum friendly and tidy to quietly delete any posts that are likely to lead to tit for tat personal arguments but I've now been asked to either edit any offensive posts (which would also have annoyed you) or to hand out cards instead so when everyone starts complaining about the new hard line please don't blame me

Jamie's sticky went over the top and he over moderated with frequent threats within threads.....it wasn't ideal. I say this in recognition of the reality that Jamie was a great poster who....regardless of his mixture of communism and nihilism was a loss. Overt moderation on a political board will lead to people not bothering and leads to claims of bias. I could see how some mods would see that as less to bother about but I don't view it positively. I see your point about over long tit for tat exchanges that turn nasty but the point should be made that political boards are the place for arguments. That's the better place for people to express themselves. So there is a balance....Jamie had a point but he over corrected in my view....no crime of course but my view all the same.

In other news.......... On Friday afternoon, the national debt of the IOUSA hit another major milestone, officially soaring past trillion for the first time ever. That's larger than the size of the entire US economy. Hmmm........... Haven't we done this.

Just this week, the US government is issuing 0 BILLION in new debt. I don't agree with Trump's signing of the 1.3tr dollar omnibus spending package. Happily agreed by both Democrats and Republicans. But your point about debt levels is not wholly accurate when judging an economy. At least quote the ratio of net debt to GDP instead. Most economists judge an economy on growth, jobs and standard of living, while others feel increasing debt can help the economy. Personally, I prefer a nation to reduce debt but you can only do that with a growing economy with increased tax receipts and cut back on govt spending. Edited by Penge Eagle (28 Mar 2018 10.05pm)

Edited by Penge Eagle (28 Mar 2018 10.05pm) As you are probably aware, the tax cuts are partly intended to encourage US corporations to "repatriate" the trillions of dollars they have sitting in off-shore tax havens and invest the money in US business. Either way, US debt will rise astronomically with the ratio to GDP reaching totally unrealistic levels. But Trump has run his businesses on the same"too big to fail" debt mountain for years,so why should he run the government any differently?

Edited by Penge Eagle (28 Mar 2018 10.05pm) Ok, a fair point. Sadly this massive increase in debt has not led to good economic growth, decent employment or an improved standard of living. Quite the opposite and it'll only get worse.

I started this thread quite a while ago. I said early in this thread that Trump won't be impeached over Russian links and we had a few lefty commentators insisting he would be.....actually they were as certain about it as any zealot. Various tame insults were exchanged......Well, quite a while later and where are we with this impeachment Russia thing? Nothing.....all the waffle coming from Muller is about other crap....essentially they are looking at Trump desperate to find anything. Trump is apparently not a subject of suspicion.....meaning that in all this time they had nothing meaningful related to Russia. Remember all the reports....remember all the claims....All the insinuations.....All BS when it was seriously looking at. Where are those lefty posters now?.....Well rather conveniently nowhere to be found. It's all pathetic....pretty similar to what Obama was subjected to over a birth certificate.....amusingly partly by Trump himself. Difference is the Democrats like to portray themselves as morally superior. Their behaviour since Trump's election has long since put waste to that particular lie. They aim low, we aim high my frigging foot.
Special Prosecutors tend to be political and are more interested in making a name for themselves than in justice. They are not the same as a high court judge inquiry. We saw this when Clinton was investigated the SP can't find a smoking gun so they go muck raking. I have no idea if Trump has broken any laws but I don't understand what his alleged affair with a p*** actress has to do with Russian interference in the US elections.
