Banned? There's a whole raft of decent posters missing there now. Even tonys, who I see has arrived here, is a bad loss, there are only a handful (adrem, Odysseus) of quality FF posters left there now. Slartibuckfast is gone too, he was funny. I'm not knocking P.ie, it's a great site, but surely another way could be found to keep some of these on board...

I don't understand how the FF posters could be pushed out of P.ie - it is supposed to be an open political forum. I think P.ie is a great thing too, in so far as it does provide an open forum. But is/was near to impossible to discuss Libertas on the site and Aragon's politics didn't seem acceptable either.

I think tonys will be delighted to see you here - is he still out of P.ie? We also have Zhou_enlai who is a great FF poster. There are plenty of people here, me included, critical of FF, but we want to keep things on a basis in which everyone can have their say without getting too much personal abuse.

Thanks for the Welcome Ctaus Flower . soorry I am late getting back. The p.ie way is to sideline and bully and ridicule in packs, which is fine for a partisan board.

Cookie is on trying to defend The Leader again today. If you watch their tactics they are easy to grind down. They don't like direct questions and will try to spin all threads they loose control of.

In reality p.ie should be seen as a mere extension of the political movement.

Barbed wire is all in the mind. Cookie is a tough cookie all the same. He's a monster cookie. I'll post you out your tinfoil hat on Monday if that's ok.

When is the tribunal report out anyway ? Is it really a year away ?

At the earliest. I am officially off Tribunal discussion duty until then, except in a national emergency (an Ahern Presidential bid, for example)...

The Sunday Independent are gaga about bringing Bertie Ahern back. If that scheming weasel ever sets foot near a senior political post in Ireland again...

Tea or coffee, Paul R and Arete? You're very welcome here.

Hello all, nice to be here. Well, actually, I was here before under the username 'radicalcleric' but I've decided to sign in under the name I use every now and again over on p.ie

Welcome borntorum.

Hello again borntorun / radicalcleric

I'm glad to see you've kept your jolly avatar.

rizlaplus welcome to Machine Nation ! The land of wheels within wheels, cogs in machines, sometimes even ghosts in machines

It might be no harm for newcomers to have a flick through the Charter linked above before they get started. It's in Irish too translated by some of the members here. The green ones.

Your avatar is ready for shrinking

Tea's up, Zanu-FF. Would you like to introduce yourself?

Welcome kn!

Well, hi there, Papal Knight, Frankly Delicious and Vega1447. Please make yourselves at home. The Site Charter is in the Site Development Forum. Auditor #9 is very strict.

People usually get tea on arrival, but its seems more the time for this:

Hello people. Ah great. The sanity of MN after the weirdness of p.ie!!! Heaven!!!

Papal Knight cool avatar. You're obviously from the South Side - you can come to town without robbin.

It was an old one.

Hi Creagh, your welcome

Cup of tea for you. Here is our Charter: the members compiled it with the idea of keeping everything friendly here.

https://machinenation.forumakers.com/charter-f14/machine-nation-charter-and-rules-t643.htm

Your very welcome Anti-coalition.

Have you voted in the polls here yet?

Ah, I see we're back to offering tea. Good stuff.

Hi guys,

I'm new to this board, and was kindly offered a cup of tea here by Cactus Flower, even if it took a few minutes to twig what she was talking about, re the 'signing in thread'. Hope it hasn't gone cold

Anyway, I've been reading this site for some time, and just couldn't resist the urge to join in. Great level of discussion here.

Look forward to chatting.

AC

The tea never goes cold here AC.

Make yourself at home Anticoalition. The Sibin is in the welcome forum. If you've been visiting here then you will know your way around.
