Yeah, pretty easy hey. Unfortunately it doesn't seem happen that way DBI. I'm keen on an opt in only area where a 'problem thread' is punted off to if it starts to get unruly. No stifling of the debate by having to remove posts or moderate, rather, the thread is moved to an area where registered members who have 'opted in' can duke out an issue without disturbing disinterested members or guests. If a participant then takes offence about something in that area or gets their nose bloodied, well too bad so sad, they opted in for it. A couple of forums I subscribe to have such an area for 18+ humour. It seems to work well for them.

The thread is now open for further discussion of the topic - The removed posts will not be returning Participants must observe forum rules and basic etiquette. No posting of personal correspondence without the originating author's permission. Disagreements and rebuttals must remain civil.

Thread locked and a couple of posts removed from view while emotions settle.

a job well done CBL

"Well bugger me! (Blue Oyster Bar term? ) So that's why airport gates take so long to get open!" "Well I never..." said DieZak again "and while I........"

"My my, what an impressive collection of carpenter pictures el Ratto" commented Lox. "There's even one with an odd shaped skateboard..."

Well he does reckon that all he can see is R'soles....

Too late.... she's seen the video.

Great idea for a stand alone topic Mike. Below is a link to the ATSB question and answer page about the Transport Safety Investigation Act. It's quicker than trawling through the act and regs. http://www.atsb.gov.au/about_atsb/legislation/trans_safety/tsi_qa.aspx

The translation of the actual words to Haaaark!!! the herald angels sing has been lost with time...

Isn't being politically correct the same as believing you can actually polish a t:censored:rd? (or pick one up from the clean end.. )

Bad ass criminals have rights too.... Edit: Aww bugger Daz... now that you deleted your post this doesn't work now...

Ummm.... is this a challenge to see what happens?

True yarns can often be the funniest.. (he was a gun road grader operator too!)

Hang on a tic. Wasn't moderation here subject to complaints of being evil censorship and stifling free expression a little while back?! And now that the level of moderation is been wound back, the moderators are still R'soles.... Make a decision Win, what's it going to be?

This yarn might be of some use for you then Daz! A young koorie bloke once told me of his best pick up line. When he was out on the prowl at the pub, he'd to walk up to a likely young lass and ask if she had any aboriginal in her. If she said no, he'd ask her if she wanted some....

If you mob can't play nice together the thread gets locked.....

Hey Nev, I like your #528 too.. P.S. You might need to get some public likability insurance if this keeps happening.

Well, Nev is a likable sort of bloke.

It's a still bloody good joke that's definitely worth repeating Frank!

They're things you hand out at Chrismas..
