PALE "We are not the only ones that have complained about your rude crude comments.
Its really not the best adversting for OLO or Australia for that matter. I suggest you dont not comment or even bother to read our comments because we certainly intend to take good advise and not respond to you again."

that you can read my comments indicates the host obviously holds this forum to a different standard to you.

Maybe you can point to the crude nature of the post I addressed to you here and then we will have a sensible debate

failing that, i suggest you consider your post in the light of common vernacular of Australia today and ask yourself how "in or out of touch" you are with real life...

If you want to ignore me, so be it.... It makes no difference to me

I post here for fun and to slap a few lefties around, as they are in dire need of a good slapping.

I am not here to enhance my public profile, promote some dingbat cause for common critters or give some fleeting meaning to my existence.

You just feel free to please yourself

Because I will please myself and post what I see fit whilst maintaining a vocabulary and content which (hopefully) conforms to the tolerances and expectations, not of you but of the host.

I suggest you go lay down and take a valium or two.. or three.. or down the whole bottle....

It was good to see Prince Valium had not been unseated in the joust.

Val had given as good as he had got out here, offshore from Arthur's great Britain. The island of Lesser Britain was a rough inhospitable place, and the only language the local inhabitants, the Jokeln, really understood was that of the gratuitous insult and the odd knightly slap with a burnished gauntlet. It would have been a most unfortunate indignity was Val to have been unhorsed out here, beyond the pale.

Some even said many of the Jokeln were slap happy, which, if it were true, would have only doubled the indignity of any unhorsing at their hands, as slap-happiness was regarded as being but little short of litigious mania, a serious and terminal disease of the ever-observant Perve Erse, as the indigenous, as opposed to the more recently arrived, Jokeln were sometimes otherwise known.

Forrest took another swig of the 'Camel' laudanum from the silver flask to dull the constant nagging pain of boredom. It wasn't as if this was the Grand Spring Tournament at Camulodenum, and boredom was always an occupational hazzard for any commentator at these mere provincial tournaments, or Phlaigmes, as they had been known Erse'd while before Brutish had become the lingua franca of the land.

There was one thing you could not take away from the Jokeln. Almost to a girl they had this incredible rapport with animals. That, and their musical talent. Forrest tried to think of a song that best represented the Jokeln ethos. "Run Around. Sue."? No that didn't quite capture their essence. In a flash of inspiration, Forrest had it, lyrically speaking!

"We're gunna talk for the animals,
doubtless being rude in Kangaroo,
we're gunna speak for the primate race,
(now speaking Chimp for chimpanzees)
Yes, we'll all get inya face,
Hate all the human race,
But youse can't talk to us!

Forrest was sure they were the lyrics, and feared not any spell the wizard Morgan might cast for error. Out here nobody could spell!

Another OLO user just posted this to me:

"What a fuc*ing useless thing this 2 post/day limit is. I have to
wait 22 hours to reply to something someone has just said.

"It creates discontinuity and redundancy within the discussion not
equity or amenity. If someone is being overabundantly pointless why
not leave it to the forum participants to either arbitrate or call
for arbitration of the matter? The stupid mechanism is akin to a
policy of universal decapitation to avoid possible distress due to
occasional halitosis."

Now just supposing, hypothetically speaking, this person tried to get around the limit, by setting up a second account, but instead of openly proclaiming that that was what he had done and thereby appearing to be in open defiance of the administrators, he were to be a little more discrete?

If, instead, he were to simply post through the second account, but leave no one in any doubt as to the origin of the post, for example, by writing at the start, "This is being posted on behalf of Fred Nurk," would anyone here consider that fraudulent or dishonest?

Would anyone here then feel that this would warrant that person being immediately denounced and pilloried?

Does a suspected technical breach of an OLO rule then give another the moral right to then make a baseless allegation of fraud committed elsewhere and then to refuse to even acknowledge clear evidence that refuted that allegation?

Does one then have the moral right to depict that person, without any evidence, of having also set up numerous other accounts?

Does one have the moral right to then wantonly disrupt at will any other forum that that person attempts to engage in?

Sorry bloke but no one, ever should need to have two IDs
We all fall into the no post times problem but its a rule of the forum.
Just maybe its a good one too, some would flood the thing without rules, the thread seems to have run its course but the rules we have should be both obeyed and enforced.

Belly “Sorry bloke but no one, ever should need to have two IDs”

I agree

Daggett “2 post/day limit is.”

Learn to live with it, every one else has to… consider it a pathway for you to develop some personal growth.

Remember, this is a privately owned and operated forum, not something which is provided as your entitlement.

I think you are right Belly, the course is probably run and like all things some might think they have “won” but if we consider, the primary objective is to allow people to express their opinions

We all win… :- )

now someone post something quick or I will get accused of trying to have the last word......

And of course there are certain fools who waste the limited number of opportunities they have to comment (or indeed respond to comments on articles that they write) by pursuing puerile, obsessive personal vendettas. I think that the comment limits are an effective way of controlling such nonsense - as is the rule about sockpuppets.
