Yeah, it's not pleasant. Neither was last night looking back at it.
Agreed. I rarely post these days, a handful of unpleasant individuals seem to dominate most threads these days. Quite how SeanT regularly gets away with bullying and abusing posters and telling them to leave the site. Perhaps he does own half of it as he (seriously) claimed last night, it's the only logical explanation.
Imagine he was drunk as a skunk , he does get lots of leeway but Robert did emphatically state that he owned exactly 0% of the site , merely delusions of grandeur on his part.
and he does nothing about someone who claims in all seriousness to own 50% of the site? Really, sorry there has to be more to it.
SeanT loves his hyperbole. His writing makes him very wealthy.
Sometimes it just doesn't work though.
He'll be loving the fact everyone on here is talking about him though.
Don't worry, I don't think you got banned. Was a Vanilla problem with their outbound bandwidth. http://status.vanillaforums.com
We had four cloud servers go offline this morning. I wonder if, by any chance, it could be related? I think we should be told
The "cloud" is a meaningless marketing phrase. It just means that the big noisy boxes with the flashing lights aren't in your basement but they are under the stairs of the house next door instead.
The way I describe it to people infected with marketing buzzwords, is that it means that all your company data is on someone else's server.
Yes, I've always found that's thrown a welcome bucket of cold water over the whole "let's move to the magical Cloud" meetings.
"The reported polling results suggested that the Tories would struggle to hold onto all but a small handful of them."
Yet another compelling reason for betting on there being no overall majority at the 2020 General Election. The current widely available betting odds of 2/1 or more, suggest that there is only a 33.3% probability of such an outcome and conversely therefore a 66.7% probability on there being an overall majority. Whereas I reckon those odds should be at least reversed since I see the likelihood of the LibDems making a significant recovery, even with Farron at the helm, winning somewhere between 25-35 seats (i.e. 5 - 7 London Cabs full), principally from the Tories and that Labour, by then having ditched Corbyn for someone broadly of the centre left, gaining between 25 - 50 seats overall, again principally from the Tories. In fact however, the Tories would only need to lose 7 seats net, based on the existing 650 seat Boundaries configuration, to lose their overall majority, which to my eyes appears very likely, albeit involving a three year plus wait before being able to collect one's winnings. For those of an impatient nature there must be a good prospect of trading such a bet profitably over a shorter time frame, using a betting exchange.

As ever DYOR.
He's really not funny when he starts ranting.
