I think you'd make an excellent dissenting opinion on the committee.
You disagree, but not enough to actually get in the way of progress.
Do you mind being censured occassionally, you know, just so we can keep up the appearance of honest/heated debate?
How does the Committee on Forum Hygiene sound?
We could then have a sub-committee to handle the British problem.

That sounds like an excellent name for our worthy effort, and feel free to make use of me as a token whipping boy for appearances sake; I have a thick skin and don't mind it at all.

That reads perfectly in an English accent, as spoken by a WWII bomber captain, what?

That sounds familiar. I told my boss a while back that the key to happiness when management was flogging the serfs was to learn to love the whip.
Given that he's a devout Jehovah's Witness, his expression was priceless.

My men are no slouch either. They're deviling in an entirely different manner, but that's another topic (and most of them have happily migrated to the forum created specifically for their purpose, except the one or two that pop up occasionally with a long-rotten joke).
Are we looking to create a General British Topics forum for the Brits? Hey, we may then need a "General Dalek Dave Topics" forum too.

Yes, as an Australian I'm all for it. We're all still extremely cranky about Gallipoli, the response to the bombing of Darwin, the Whitlam affair, and most recently and most importantly, that hussy of theirs, Liz Hurley, yanking Warnie's chain.

This is the situation where I just lean back and watch. I am not British, don't belong to any Commonwealth and also am not a former rebel colonist. Good that you don't charge anything to see this show

Sure, but that will not change wherever I go, if it's called a Commonwealth or not. Politicians always want my best, which obviously is my money.

A little cruel me thinks. With their weather and their food if you also take from them CP you will left them with little to no reason to live. Do you want to have 6 000 000+ suicide attempts on your conscience? And considering the sock-puppet accounts there will be some people who will have to commit 12-14 suicide attempts, one for every banned account. Do you really want to see DD trying to cut his veins with an electric shaver, Nagy suffering to dead from sobriety or Chris(all of them) attempting to end their own misery with watching French military dramas while listening Bulgarian folk music. Do you?
And don’t forget Pete, do you really want him to drown while walking the water shocked and dizzy after the ban?
