Miscellaneous The silly thread

Thank you, @Woodpad. Thanks very much. That's 9 years a therapy down the drain.

Glad to be of service. A little tip, it goes much faster when you make the therapist think that he is the silly one.

I wonder if it was the same one? Stargazers Lounge?

Oh yes. I lost it when they bullied an elderly lady (I think she was 78) who was extremely knowledgable and very technical. I was one of many to comment and I found one of the mods was suddenly 'following' me and his avatar is intentionally very aggressive. Disgusting behaviour.

On an astronomy forum maybe they were aliens.

No just power-crazed nut-jobs.

Seems common behaviour. I'm not even vaguely vulnerable to internet bullying, but I got harangued aggressively in both public and private DMs by two moderators. Someone from Scotland was writing about how he was spending his NHS COVID bonus, and lots of members started piping up about how great it was NHS staff were being rewarded for their COVID efforts. I pointed out that 85% of the NHS workforce (working in England) didn't get a bonus, and a below inflation pay award. This was deemed 'political' - it wasn't, it was simply factual - but they had a right go at me for infringing their rules. They also deleted my post, and the one I replaced it with. The result was that it appeared from the comments on that thread that all NHS workers got a bonus, when the vast majority didn't.

Let's put it back on track. Music and silliness.

Hilarious, to say the least.

Note that we haven't banned you for mentioning it, yet 😉
