People should be allowed to vote for the couple they like the best without being reprimanded for it. I have always considered this to be one of the most tolerant forums. I'm all for lively debate and discussion of the competitors and the dancers. But surely there is no need to abuse people who support certain acts? Just my opinion. I love this forum.”

I too was diappointed with the result tonight, but guess what.........................I'm already over it!

But how do I know that I'm talking about the person you are talking about
. No seriously, actually that person has given me some real laughs tonight (I don't mean that patronising, but I fear the person might not be real
).

Ah, I guess we'll never know if you're talking about the person I think you're talking about, or if we're talking about completely different people. That is the joy of being indirect. Whether the person is real or not, now that adds another whole layer of confusion ...
If we're going to discuss fictional people, I hope we can be as insulting as we like
I never liked that Jane Fairfax, with her piano and her poor relations ... Seemed like a cold fish to me.

No couldn't warm to her either. Emma was right to be so condescending to her. She still managed to marry a rich husband though, which is more than I achieved
. Let's discuss fictional people, it's far more fun

Don't worry about it, it's easily done

HOW DARE YOU! YOU'VE BEEN HERE FIVE MINUTES!
Not really!
Welcome to the forum, I hope you'll have as much fun here as I do, despite all the craziness. Feelings are running high this weekend, but mid-week we're all usually quite reasonable.
I have just about given up....I cannot see where anyone is being other than what they normally are.
I thought I was going to have a laugh before bedtime but obviously not.
The only one who is annoying me tonight is moonbeam with her multiple posts. I am not as fast as I used to be so cannot keep up with them.
It would be usefull if we could have a private forum within the SCD onelimit it to about a dozen members and invite "sensible PC persons" onto it.

She managed to get married at all, which is more than I've ever achieved! Although I never thought Frank Churchill was all that. Mr Knightley was by far the better match and catch - well done Emma!
I think we might get in trouble for being off topic if we continue like this, though

Sir?
Y'know the specsavers thread...?
Nothing to be scared of, there are plenty of people about who will defend your right to make a valid point but insults will never be tolerated.
There is always the Warm and Tranquil room where you are free to relax and unwind.

Thanks...never looked at it because I do get my specs from specsavers...LOL
Thanks to all for the welcome. Maybe I'll hibernate until mid week then, until things have calmed down.

I thought I might get away by using the name Emma, but that would only have worked last year
. Anyway, not off topic at all, it's all about being nice to one another. This has given me a smile, before "I retire to bed with a good novel". Hmm I think Jane Austen comes to mind

Post of the week
I even thought about starting a thread saying the same thing
Is there something wrong with me or am I just thick skined.
I looked through all of the specsavers comments and a million other threads and have not seen anything I would get upset about.
Or are you all have a joke at my expense??
If you want to see some real ranting and raving, have a look at some of the general discussion threads, they border on libel.
Me, I'm all for the peacefull life, laid back with my wife massaging my feet and peeling me a grape while I watch re-runs of Rag Tag and Bobtail.....

Not totally off topic
Believe it or not there is a link
Brian Capron who was in SCD played Mr Knightley's brother in the film "Emma" (starring Gwyneth Paltrow)
Its the Librarian in me
Hey Lady B,
Help me out here, there are some nast FM's having a go at me on another thread.
Their reply was too long for me to be bothered to read it but I think it must have been negative. No one writes a long agreement.
Anyway, goodnight to all, I am going to bed with a good book and a glass of collapso.

No! That was Brian Capron? I must dig out the old video and enjoy him in all his glory! Good knowledge, Inner Self *applauds*
