    Sockies

    Firstly, I am sure 'veteran' posters will now bring out the usual diatribe of "he's xxxx sockie" or "its clear he's a sockie" ? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzbdump

    but not a day goes past where some posters who obviously have nothing to post/say of use posts one of these or accuses some random user of being a sockie.

    It quite frankly is boring, I have been accused a few times and the trick is to just ignore them, but my question is.

    Why does it bother you all so much who a poster is?

    Have you not got paid work to do?
    Have you not got other important questions burning to be asked?

    Right I am off back to my normal location for a few hours as you all go red in face and start accusing me of planning to overthrow CUK.

    ciao

      Probably best to put this one in the wash. It's getting a bit crusty now.

        Clearly, you haven't mastered the trick yet. Keep at it. You will get there in the end.

        A few clues....

        Why do many hate sockies? Mainly because they ask stupid repetitive questions or post intentionally contentious statements/views in a vain attempt at attention seeking. When genuine posters waste their time replying to said stupid, repetitive questions, they get rightly annoyed when OP turns out to be a sockie/troll or both.

        How do we know they are sockies? There are about 12 indications. Usually, 3 or more are present in every sockie post so most are easily spotted. No I am not going to post them here because most of the sockie masters are too stupid/do not even care if they are caught out and banned, they have a drawer full of them. It's a bit like the virus/anti-virus cycle.

        No I don't have any paid work to do.

        If I have got any more important questions to ask, I will be sure to open your drawer and shout them in for your approval.

        Please shut the drawer on your way back in.

          And the prize for "yes I missed the point again" award goes to the above.

          But thanks for explaining your logic, I now know whose posts not to view so as not to waste my time.

          Have a good day my friend

              I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]
