I ought to be able to nip off for a couple of hours without every row which has ever appeared on here being re-run. Will just ban those who continually use this board to poke other users and cause friction.

It is clearly a joke but agree, it does seem to have become a little divisive.


More than a little divisive, but it’s good to see you acknowledge it might actually be the source of most of the squabbles you have to deal with.

There are obvious cliques on here, which is only to be expected when long term posters, with similar views, politics and a compulsion to spend much of their working day on here, gang together to cover each other’s backs in some ritual show of virtual brotherhood.

All fine, but thoroughly off-putting for any genuinely new posters, with the snide allegations, accusations and speculation as to which former poster they think they are.

I’ve been on here for 10 years but still get the same few homeboys circling in the strange belief they’re protecting and policing their rightful territory, just because I’m one of your forum members who doesn’t spend every minute of the day on here.

Quite happy to bite back but it only results in more work for you when they then come running to you, screaming foul.

Might be time to challenge this elite poster nonsense as well.
I appreciate you’re probably long-term friends with most of them, but it must put new posters off when the same 4 or 5 swarm in pathetic unison.


The truly elite posters don't need to assert ad nauseam that they are elite.

It's very odd that so many are taking such an obvious joke so seriously. The only people who have mentioned 'elite' recently are people mocking it because they can't see it's a joke for some reason.

The assumption is that the process has ended and the punchline has been delivered.


This seems a common theme on the forum on many issues .


Reject the process and risk becoming the punchline.

Now you have me confused, I considered you one of the decent posters on here and those running the "elite poster" shtick being pathetic stool b's and bernards, seems you can never trust a TWTD poster.


“ pathetic stool b's”. Isn’t this the needless sniping towards another poster that caused a Phil to start this thread in the first place?

If I've laughed, does that mean they were funny?

You do understand the subjective nature of experience.....

Is it funny that grown adults get upset at people calling themselves "elite posters"? At times, mildly. It's going to be funnier following this thread.

Quite possibly. This post certainly delivered the pay off that was the whole point of the joke. Now on to bigger and better (and dare I say clever) ways of winding people up.

Think we probably could, but realistically we shouldn't need to, should we?


It’s also unworkable, as somebody who has you on ignore simply logs out to see your posts. So the only way to make it work is to only be able to see all posts when logged on. Which then makes the forum a closed shop.

….its a joke, a laugh, a bit of bantz (as someone on here constantly says).

The only people banging on about it are people like you.

There are far worse things said on here than that. I genuinely worry about how some of you get through real life when you cry over a few divs like me using the word “elite” on an internet forum.

You really need to man/woman up and get over it.

As a mark of respect and consideration to your sensitivities I will officially disband the terrorist organisation previously known a the “elite”.

I hope you can sleep easy now that this horrifying experience is over for you.
