Outdated sounds very appropriate...
I've been trying to take the tiles off for the last ten minutes, but I can't remember how I put them there. I'll have a look again later.

Woohoo! Membership on this forum has now surpassed fifty members! Welcome to our new members!
The forum began on May 2nd and has pretty much had continuous activity for almost six months now. So a big THANK YOU to everyone who posts, and indeed to everybody who reads. You keep the forum going. Thanks as well for your imagination and creativity in coming up with new angles and ideas.
Again, the BIGGEST thing I want to thank everybody for is their civility and politeness. Nothing sours the atmosphere more than acrimony, but the tone has been one of continual respect...many, many thanks for this. It's truly inspiring that such a bunch of backward-looking, embittered, angry, bigoted, repressed, hate-filled reactionaries can be so consistently pleasant and charitable. God help me, it's enough to make me doubt Fintan O'Toole.
So in celebration, what better than a bit of Joe?

Its frightening that there are 50 reactionary bigoted conservatives dwelling in our midst!! If you think that the real hard core conservatives have never even heard of the internet then there must be at least 100 people out there. We need legislation to protect us from these people!!

There are a lot of Irish reactionaries on Twitter but the problem is there is no unifying place where they gather, it is just disparate factions and individuals. The Left is much better organised, probably down to all the funding they receive; I won't say anything more at the moment about the sources of those funds.

I've deleted posts by an anti-Catholic troll called God's Elect.
Anyone can criticize the Catholic Church all they want here, but the posts were rude and inflammatory. Politeness is required of everybody on this forum.

Arising from another thread....would people prefer the discussions on this forum were more focused and on-topic?
I've encouraged free-wheeling discussion so far, sympathising with G.K. Chesterton's view that there is no such thing as a different subject.
But I'm happy to bow to the wishes of the majority on this matter. Tell me what you think.

I apologize to members for ads appearing on this forum promoting a TV show by those loutish idiots, Jeremy Clarkson and friends.
As administrator I am now preparing to commit hara-kiri in atonement for this. Who wants to take over?

The unregistered guest Brother of Christ has achieved the distinction of being the first person banned on this forum. For behaving like a jackass, pure and simple.

I hope he is being offered compensation and grief counselling to overcome the trauma of exclusion and demonisation. I'm sure he's a thoroughly nice chap when he's not being outrageously rude on online forums. Mark Shea's guideline on his blog used to be: "Behave as though you were in my living room and you should be fine". That's a good guideline, I think. Sadly, Pope Francis's Rottweiler himself doesn't keep to it.

I've deleted the posts of two more anti-Catholic trolls. I presume they're different people.
Again, it's not because they're criticising the Catholic Church. Serious criticism of the Catholic Church (or anyone else) is OK. Just trying to pick a fight will get you deleted, though.
