I get that Dan is trying to make a point about UKIP members not being the only racists/offensive people, however I do not believe that is a license to make 20 different threads on near enough the same topics. CLEARLY people are not all that interested in the majority of them as they are left reply-less.

Frankly it's all a bit pathetic.

It conveniently sends the threads that he's failed to properly answer questions in back a page or two :P but yeah it could really have all been in one thread about each party but don't think it ought to be forced
Well he obviously feels very strongly about UKIP but yeah they could have all been put into the same thread as some of them have been posted 5 minutes after the last one.

Post constant threads about Ukip candidates and councillors and I can do it back about other parties, it's only fair - and it's news.
Besides, councillors being locked up or convicted of all parties is legit news... either we have a single thread for ALL these types of gaffes/councillors convicted or we allow them for all parties. Either way i'm not bothered which way you want it.
ELECTED Councillors being CONVICTED by a court > what a Ukip candidate did or did not say, or what type of tattoo he has on his arse cheek.
It conveniently sends the threads that he's failed to properly answer questions in back a page or two :P
There's only so many times and so much patience I have replying to 'WAYCISM' before I get bored. I've got very bored of it now.

Dan, before you spammed a million threads there was all of one thread in the past week about a UKIP candidate who suggested that effectively 90% of the country should be charged for treason and hung. HARDLY a proportionate response.

Yeah, and all i've done is post a thread or two for the Labour, Conservative and Liberal parties of their councillors (who are far more important news than a mere candidate) who have been convicted or accused of racism/fraud/assault in the past week. All via accurate local news sources.
A thread was posted about Ukip - fair enough. But now i've also posted some threads about the other parties - also fair. :)

But you don't respond with anything other than saying WAYCISM as though that's an argument, that's kinda the point

Hell ban undertaker for the duration of the election as all he does is post boring ****
Alternatively leave him hell banned I doubt anyone will care.
A further alternative would be a stickied election thread, as said no one gives a **** about these threads and doing a petty posts 20 posts so the one person who cares enough to argue back can see when you could have made it in one post and have all the points in it, or better yet don't post at all and let kip justify them instead of saying oh they done this and that.
I don't mind which you pick preferably one or two. Three will do though
seems a bit childish to spam post but i guess we cant expect any less from a ukip supporter!!!!!!!

I found it hilarious tbh, knew when I saw a post directed at only UKIP member that this was gonna happen.
Think it's fair dos if he makes like a few threads (lib/cons/labo) but not as many as he actually made :P

Oh I see. Well i'm supposed to be posting new debates pretty soon, I have an idea for an American one in mind... if you have any suggestions (and they'd be very welcome atm) then post them in the Debates Suggestions thread.

Oh sweet thanks. It's just i was talking to my american best friend who is on here too and most of the time we feel like we don't belong because mostly everything is UK. I can't wait to see this American idea. Maybe get some Canadian ones in there too winx winx
