There were zero sexual connotations to his post as far as I could see Joey

His point seemed to be that Guy Fawkes wanted to instill a 9 year old as the ruler of England, with the insinuation being that a 9 year old running the country would be a stupid idea (Although seeing how May has done maybe it would be, at worst, a lateral move at this stage?)

Obviously if he had been insinuating what you think he was you'd have every right to be annoyed, but that doesn't appear to be the case, so I think you should just accept that you misread the situation and leave it

With the greatest will in the world, you can sometimes misinterpret what people mean on here now and then, and I think this is one of those occasions

Out of the blue if had followed ed my Guy Fawkes post...then yes he had a bit of defence - but hey he's got @Bruce Wayne ......

It wasn't an attempt at wit, it was an attempt at historical agreement. In a daft sort of way I was trying to find common interest and relevance rather than the recent exchanges we've had and a nod to the current absurdity of Brexit in context of the last plot to blow up Parliament. I can see it failed dramatically. :confused:

The timeline is spot on though.

Again mate, I think you're seeing what you want to see here rather than what is

You're acting like people won't read a thread for a while and then go back to catch up on it

It happens all the time in every section of the forum

Just because your post was from Thursday doesn't mean that Jeebs read it on that day. He might have only seen it recently, hence why he made the Guy Fawkes post when he did

I sometimes read this thread 5-10 pages at a time, because sometimes that's honestly how many pages it goes up by if you don't go in it for a few days and I like to make sure I'm not repeating something that's already been said

That's the worst defence I have read so far....

Sorry Joe, I can see this has upset you, but the timeline as I see it is thus:

1. You suggest it's a shame that Guy Fawkes was foiled (made last Thursday I believe so a little bit ago, but not that long ago)
2. Jebus says part of the plot was to install Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia (a 9 year old Catholic) on the English throne
3. Pete repeats the suggestion that parliament should be destroyed
4. Jebus says it would be destroyed but without installing a child to the throne, as in the original gunpowder plot, so that is an improvement on your suggestion

It's not the height of wit, I'll grant you, but there's no suggestion of any shady business (aside from the clear madness of wanting a child on the throne, as was the original gunpowder plot).

It was not worded like that, or followed anything I had not been on this thread this am - the connecatications without a history lesson could lead posters and myself to think anything ....
Hindsight and guesswork has let him off yet again Bruce ...
I will remember this let off ......

*sigh*

Come on Joey, this is ridiculous

I get you being angry if you thought he was making nonce accusations towards you, but he wasn't. He really, really wasn't, and going on this tirade is pointless. It's been explained to you what point he was making and, outside of one poster who is stoking this for his own agenda/amusement, everyone in here accepts the explanation. You've got this one wrong, it happens.

My final piece of advice is to hold your hands up, accept you misread the situation and let it go

Misunderstandings happen. No one is at fault here. Let's just move on eh?

Why post that out of the blue then ?pathetic just trolling yet again.....

Because the last time that blowing up Parliament (which by the definition of s.1 Terrorism Act 2000 could constitute an offence (although apparently unlike, you I can understand context behind the post)) was mentioned in this thread, we had an exchange about what the intentions were.

Joe, the report is open for the other mods to look at and interpret how they see fit in their judgement, so if I've misread things they will I'm sure pick up on that and respond accordingly. In the meantime, might I suggest everyone go and make some lunch or something and take a bit of heat out of what seems like a fraught situation.

Posted my previous post before I saw this

Yes, you're right. I'll drop it and leave it to the authorities
