    In fact, any use of the term brigade to refer to anything other than the military configuration?

    It's a shorthand for 'I disagree, but am not intellectually equipped to refute your point in an adult manner'.

    But doesn't that just make you the anti-brigade brigade? So you're basically refuting your own point, basically.

    How is a fire brigade a military configuration anyway? Unless you're talking about the navy?

    :rolleyes: and they're off.

    Rules, Rules

    What is it with young people and their love of rules?


    In my day, it was less rules we were fighting for

    I think we should have a watershed after which you allow porn. Or a porn forum.

    Better yet ...

    Confine end of the road to their very own sub forum of After Hours, to prevent the ruination of threads on the original AH

    No. An immediate site ban for anyone who quotes or otherwise refers to or responds to any EOTR post.

    As a small start I'd delete the rule about saying "Blast them with ..." "Your M*" "Good story ...." -

    I'm not sure if any others are banned but it always seemed like "New speak" for them not to be allowed.

    Ban the use of the word cretin. It's cringey.

    Ban the phrase and posters who use "grabs popcorn" it's sad.

    Ban the PC brigade. We all know who they are.

    Ban boring posters who can't take a joke.

    Ban rules

    Choose life

    Wear sunscreen.

    Church-bashing threads to the atheists forum.

    Gay related threads to the gay/lesbian/what have you. forum.

    Zero tolerance towards offence seekers/social justice warriors who derail light-hearted threads.

    That's would reduce the standard retard lexicon by about 25% though.

    More lighthearted threads like, "Which lady celebs do you reckon take it up the wrong 'un?" and less serious threads which could be moved to more serious forums!

    Well would you look at that? The loudest moaners about the mythical "PC brigade" are the ones calling for people they disagree with to be banned.

    Kinda shows up their bull for what it is.

    As opposed to your own lexicon which isn't sub-standard at all then.

    Perhaps I missed the attempted humour, maybe the post was meant to be ironic, but I digress.

    Ban repetitive threads. Not for months maybe but it gets boring.

    Like posts containing just "yes" and "no" ban posts that just contain "what!" - thread wreckers.

    I'm just going to thank this instead of figuring out what it actually means because I'm lazy and starving for lunch. :pac:

    Yes, get rid of the phrase "the PC brigade" - it immediately indicates "Haven't read anything, don't want to think about anything, just want to lash out".
