    Brillo can't expect that Admin of this or any forum would start a legal fight to preserve Brillo's strategy if police gets involved querying Brillo's post.

    The fact that admin required police to get all the paperwork but offered chance to pass over phone for Brillo to sort it out amicably was the kind of move that I feel not every board admin would do.

    In any event this is certainly NOT shopping!

    Frankly, this board has got some of the most tolerant admins, but you can't expect taking the piss by creating super long thread that no board software was meant to handle and then hate them for one hand dropping post counts for LR to avoid giving people incentive to post in TPD, something that evidently did not work, and then for closing TDP - in most places people who posted there would get banned after 20-30 posts max.
    Oh flip off - you just hated TPD anyway. Yeah it was long and yeah it needed fixing but it's not the root of all evil AtW

    I see that the threat of a terrorist attack in the UK has been upgraded. This is doubtless all down to CUK militants.

    Erm, where did the conversation about being hung drawn & quartered come from?

    On slightly more serious note. Maybe it would be sensible to modify the quote thing so someone could only quote sufficient of a post to make it clear what other post they are referring to. If somebody posts something here and then thinks better of it, it is a bit pointless them trying to remove it when some earwig has quoted the whole thing.

    Beat me why people quote whole posts on any forum anyway. On some technical forums it is really irritating to be looking for an answer and having to trawl through the same comment umpteen times.

    This whole thing does make one wonder what a ridiculous and oppressive society we live in when obviously tongue in cheek comments get looked at by police. Whether it is us loonies here or silly young Muslims a real threat requires more than just a bit of ranting, it requires actual intent and a real potential to make the intent a reality.

    Is this really "Light Relief"??
    If done to GB it would be.
    PS No, I didn't really mean that.
    PPS Yes he did.
    PPPS No I didn't. Anyway, its' not my fault it's the voices.

    Hanged, then cut down whilst still alive, your entrails drawn, your codlings cut off & the lot burned in front of you.

    Then you were quartered.

    Lovely.
    ... and they had generally been doing the works on you for a while first....
    stretched on the (w)rack - so thay all/most of your major joints were dislocated...
    a few burning irons prodded into delicate areas...
    a few broken bones, crushed fingers, ankles and other appendages...
    possibly half drowned etc etc....

    then hang/draw and quarter.....
