but hey mine was utter cringe too so frak it...

Great can you leave again then? Ta

How about you and Tommy try not get so excited when you see me posting? The other hostile lads follow your lead. It might seem strange, but you have a bit of respect from a couple of people here. You two calm down, we all calm down.

Your lies catch up with you again.

Ah, so more people either weren't arsed or actively hoped he'd leave than he'd stay - does rather say it all.

So a poll it is then, I will abide by the majority view

Oh right.

 

[dholliday]

So the Knight is like Omar?

Yeah that’s what stung most. It limped along getting a handful of votes before Bruce shut it down out of pity.

Crucially he still lost though and showed his ferret DNA by reneging on his promise to abide by the result.

By your logic Tommy & Goat would've had to perma-leave too, and lordy knows who else has done cringey leaving threads only to come back later.

Anyway, I thought you wanted to talk about The Wire? I don't watch it so will leave yous be now x

It's alright, he won't be around for much longer anyway.

@dholliday you linked this

http://archive.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/blogs/the_angle/2010/09/is_the_wire_rac.html

The article says 'Is the Wire racist?' and the article surmises that it isn't. It literally only looks at one side of a Harvard debate (so, it being debate), someone HAD to argue that it was.

One article there even argues that the 'Characters' viewpoints are racist http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2008/02/26/sociologists-critique-the-wire/ and not the show in itself.

None of the rest of them are 'serious commentators'.

But you knew that, you're just a gargantuan meff. You've typed 'The Wire racist' into google and linked a few search results without reading the articles.

So wind your tedious neck in again.

@chicoazul is a massive fan of The Wire and responded to my critical post sound. Thread topics are there to be critiqued and defended, but the clique can't manage it. It's why the Late Show died on its arse...yous can't hack it.

Can you dig?




Ishmael Reed isn't a serious commentator? He's a celebrated writer. Those links are serious discussions as to whether The Wire is racist or not. You said you hadn't seen any. How you interpret them is your bag of fish.




Will your pants split?

Lol, the lengths you go to to get a few bites.

The late show dried up because most of the main contributors moved away from the site. It had nothing to do with people’s inability to debate stuff as nothing serious was ever debated there ...

Did mummy love you too much or not enough?

@dholliday having an absolute mare here.

Jesus lads knock it off

Jesus lads knock it off

Already over mate, we started ignoring him again and he left after admitting he had no interest in the wire anyway, so was just up to his usual tedious WUMing.

Let's leave that back in 2013 then

 

[Azzurri]

There's just about one person who is disliked by actually everyone on the forum. He just goes into every thread, despite having no interest in the subject, purely to wind people up.

But enough about @Kurt.

Good show init.
