All I was doing was starting a thread that I thought would generate some interest. My political threads usually generate a fair degree of curiosity. We see this in the amount of participation in them and this one brought the last one to a certain conclusion. I must admit that I thought it was Bilbo on the rampage. He is the only one who goes at me for these kinds of things and it just seemed like him. However, it wasn't. Bilbo is one of my favourite posters here, so I actually feel a bit bad thinking it was down to him.

Otherwise, I seem to have actually made a difference to the site in erasing sad clicks. I actually have no beef with sad clicks and think that they are justified. However, I think sad clicking someone 30 times in 5 minutes is really nasty. More so if the person is a veteran with over 18000 posts to their name. If you have an issue with them, then why not get into the thread and debate with them?

Some of you have been mean in this thread and others have been really nice. For those who have been nice, I thank you. And I thank Saddo too because I was quite hurt and his responses made me realise that I was able to come back.
The number is quite high. I'll give you that. But when you really look into them, how many of those 18,000 posts were actually non-garbage? Ah ha! See what I see? Your status on the forum is almost Kid Thunder like.
