And if you include NSOR in the calculations, then I believe we end up subsidising the rest of the UK
Well we are still in the same union anyway, but I thought you got effectively £1500 per head spent on you annually more than the English. I am the first to admit I am not an expert in such matters but only know what I have seen reported. Who actually owns the oil producing bit of the North Sea any?

Sipie, infract me as I now feel bad.

This place is an absolute joke of the highest order.

How do the infractors manage mixing with real people?

Lol @ spoon

Genuinely proud of that infraction

Infracted for insulting a 'known multiple user account posting troll' that the mods can't seem to ban permanently

Class act indeed

I seriously doubt he would be the sort of person to dish them out without a very good reason.

Pete, if you are a proper grown up then there is NO need to infract on what is a bulletin board, it can't be simpler.

Yes, I agree. Les doesn't strike me as the kind of person to do it is all I am saying.

Indeed.

What we need is an infracting league table.

Taking the results up to now I think most would be surprised, very surprised.

If it was started from afresh then I'm sure the spineless wouldn't infract anymore.

I know nothing of the political machinations of this place, and I'm quite pleased to remain ignorant.

Doesn't strike me as the type either, however, technically I did 'insult another board member' (albeit a banned member who is posting under yet another alias )...... so whoever was sad enough to infract maybe has a point

Sorry Sting, I disagree. Your comment was tongue in cheek. I've had far worse said to me in the past and thought it was extremely funny. All part of the banter that used to go on in here.
Sadly the pc brigade are alive and well and spending their time in Scoobynet

I have to thank those who said they would not expect me to infract someone's post.

It is a fact, as I have said often enough before, that I do not support infractions for my own reasons. I would never infract anyone regardless of his post and would rather depend on my own ability to defend myself in print should it be necessary.

Pete Lewis is quite able to defend himself without my help I am sure, considerably better in fact, however I reserve the right to say, as other will also do, if I consider an infraction on any other SNetter to be unfair.

Incidentally, even if I did support infractions, I would not have infracted Sipie.

There are too many people here now, who are always on the look for an opportunity where 'theyre able' to infract someone: without considering (and possibly without the wit to consider) whether the should.....

Simon would be along to tell us that the 'community has spoken' and that the 'infraction system works', if there was any sign of him at all, although that would be bollocks. Easier than actually administering the site though, I suppose.

The thing is though, Dunx, they are ugly but that's not the worst of it. Most of the drivers of these models make the car look presentable.
