    Am I the only person who is not finding the “mini series ” threads amusing?

    Not only are they almost taking over the boards to the exclusion of ordinary , interesting threads but I find them distasteful, hurtful and totally unnecessary.

    I get the impression that the people ( or person) writing them is attempting to get rid of a lot of bile and vindictiveness from their system but doesnt have the courage of their convictions to do so in the name they ( or he/she) normally use in either JC or on the boards.

    Before it is pointed out to me that I have, on occasion, been vitriolic in my posts I would say that, however wicked my tongue can be ( and i know that it can be) I do post always under my registered chat name.

    Nope, other than finding Camel Blue’s first parody amusing, I’m with you.
    If the “storytellers” made the observations outside the guise of a story they’d be lynched, but because it’s a story we’re all supposed to lighten up and take it as humour. If it was genuinely humour with no malice or ill intent, they’d have no reason to hide and no qualms about letting people know their chatnames.

    I’m just gobsmacked at the standard of writing, I think I know who Mr Anderson is but I might be wrong (I usually am) and I have suggested to him previously that he should submit some of his short stories for publication….. he just laughed. Its amazing how often people do not recognise their own talent.

    I was concerned people mentioned might be offended but I spoke to the main character and he wasn’t concerned in the least so why should we be?

    Wish I were clever like our three mini novelists.. well done I say!

    People continually wish for the boards to be fresh and new, but when some one publishes or posts something authentic, they want at get up in arms and say that is about this person or that…… Maybe make a choice, either you want something that is prompting new thought and discussion or you want to stick with the drivel and hot chocolate posted by the usual threads……..

    simples
    when its new and fresh its mildly amusing
    when the boards are flooded with the same old tosh
    its boring to the extreme
    it may be one person doing all three
    but if its not then shame on camel and mr anderson for being copy cats

    lets get back to straight forward b itching

    I was told different on that score :? Of course why should anyone else who’s not in the story be concerned :roll: Still, gives people something else to gossip about

    This is your idea of fresh and new :shock: I thought this was just drivel :lol: And as for authentic you must be mistaken. It is not of undisputed origin but of gossip and hearsay
