    Discussion or not

    Aaaagh!

    I help moderate an online forum for young people aged 11-14. Now we do get a few users over that age but the majority fall within. I am getting really frustrated though by their discussions or lack of. They normally, after one or two posts, degenerate into a slanging match, where they just shout past each other and refuse to listen or even debate the issue at hand. IO am becoming more convinced that they don’t want a discussion but just a place to sound off – surely they should be blogging and not involved in a forum.

    Oh, and if you were wondering the vinegar smell was some going off bananas.

    Strange

    There is the strange smell of vinegar in our house. I think something has gone off somewhere but I can’t find it. It really is quite strong. It reminds me of the One foot in the grave episode where they had a strange smell in the living room.

    Oh well any excuse to let the tea go cold.

    Interesting spam

    Had this amazing piece of spam from Prince Yang (yes, he of the amazing name)

    “Get your custom vehicle magnets for only $38.50 a pair (12” x 24”). Two (2) colors! No extra charge for logos, graphics or rounded corners. FREE design, setup, and layout! … Get up to 4 colors for only $43.50 a pair … large sizes available!”

    What a load of rubbish, although I am wondering what larger sizes they have available, can I have a 2 metre long vehicle magnet stuck on the side of my tiny Vauxhall Astra?
