“The Silent Treatment”

I am that bloke down the pub.

Oops!

Kevin Eleven, are you the bloke down the pub who’s a bit pissed and tries to tell the same joke the other two blokes told but gets it wrong?

The “silent treatment”, the “stoppage of talk” approach to forum combat seems an oddly self-defeating strategy to me. I’ve only had three posters ever take this approach with me; KellyJay, Galveston75 and now Ghost of a Duke.

There have been occasions where I’ve avoided replying to a poster for a temporary period due to them being a noisy, dull vexation, but I have nev ...[text shortened]... to someone completely as I don’t know how I will feel about what they may have to say in the future.

So much for not mentioning them.

I knew you couldn't do it.

Are you that bloke down the pub who arrives late and immediately blurts out a joke someone told 30 minutes earlier?

It might surprise some that I avoid using the T and C vulgarities because I find them misogynistic.

I knew you couldn't do it. That's why you made this thread, after all.

@ghost-of-a-duke said
Oh, he'll do that for months to come.

@ghost-of-a-duke said
That's messed up on so many levels.

@divegeester said
Ghost of a Duke might still so so upset that he complains and has the entire thread removed.

I doubt it.
