    Still smarting from the pasting you got on the Israel thread? If and when you develop an intellect, send me a PM and we’ll have a conversation. Until then, run along and play with children of your own age; JonnyF is waiting. 

    The only thing I'll send you is my contempt, now run along little boy the big boys are trying to talk.

    So you knew it was an athlete, but instead you mentioned a black MP. Low life tactics. Scores points only with other low lives. Congratulations on your slithering behaviour. 

    Why don't you go and troll somewhere else, you do it on every thread you comment on, doesn't your intellect allow you to engage in decent discussion!

    Hearing loss and tinnitus

    To my knowledge there is no proven way to reverse the problem – other than getting used to it and ignore the high frequency tinnitus, and learn to pay more attention to what is spoken  – I also suffers from it from many years in pro audio business.

    There are a number of alternative treatments that you can find searching the Internet, probably they won't harm anything, so might be worth a try, if you find one that seems usable.

     

    Today there are very discreet – almost invisible – hearing aids available, if that becomes the solution.

    It's nice to know hearing aids have improved, when I got one from the Nat Health all it did was amplify the distortion so never bothered with it, it is so frustrating at times when sat around a table and be not able to join in the conversation.

    It is most certainly to do with me if you call me a racist or antisemite.

     

    I am not antisemitic and I find it strange how you continue to call me that.

     

    I believe in forgiveness and giving people a second chance, so one more time, please quote anything that I've said in this thread that suggests I don't like Jewish people. Really, if there is any ounce of truth, I'd like to address it. 

     

    I have a spiritual advisor, who happens to be a Rabbi, why do you say 'rabbit' ?

    You can't expect anyone to believe you, when you applaud a racist and antisemitic post like Jeffs.

    The Free Palestine Movement was founded by an anti semetic Syrian that uses phrases like calling Jews "dregs of European garbage" a "gang of criminal murderers" "human pieces of filth". Why would anyone associate themselves with such a cultish movement that thrives on hate, that must be a mystery to a lot of us, but not to others it seems.

     

     

    The Free Palestine Movement was founded by Yasser Qashlaq, a Syria-born Palestinian businessman of considerable wealth[2] who heads several organizations including the Lebanese Institute of International Studies, the Syrian-Palestinian Investment House, the Palestinian Businessmen's Club, and also owns a small Lebanese newspaper.[4] Furthermore, Yasser is known for his antisemitic views, having repeatedly called Jews "dregs of European garbage", a "gang of criminal murderers",[3] and "human pieces of filth"[5] that should be deported to Europe.[3][5] He has also stated that there is "no reason for coexistence" between Israelis and Palestinians, as the latter would reclaim their lands and "hunt [the Israelis] down to the end of the world, and prosecute them for their massacres".[3] Though close to the Syrian government,[2][4] Yasser has denied any links with Hezbollah.[6]

    Part of the issue is in the wording of your post...kinda sets the tone...... "when posters have lost the argument" ......there shouldn't be arguments; discussions/debates for sure but people shouldn't be looking for arguments (they are). This is a community internet forum - not a court of law.

    Being a bit pedantic there h&s, if you don't mind me saying, don't take everything too literally.🥳

    It's pretty obvious which ones get away with abuse.

    How would you know when you have so many posters on ignore. Why we have an ignore button in the first place is a mystery to me, if you want to ignore another member just ignore them, the ignore button is being used as a get out of jail for free card when posters have lost the argument. It is childish!

    I find it disturbing that people like this can put others on ignore and then continue to post their ignorant drivel without risk of being contradicted by the posters who know the most about the subject at hand.

    Dare I ask, are you? He went into radio silence on the Ukraine thread when I dropped a truth bomb, he is offended by the truth.🥴

    I don't have to look at garbage like that any more thanks to the ignore function.

    As Betty from Brighton said, "oh no, not another one"😂😂😂. I too believe that sensitive sam has me on "ignore" but it hasn't been confirmed yet. 🥳

    I was shocked, like others, when Oct 7 happened and my Islamophobia rose to the surface. As the war continues, people are realizing that Israel are commiting genocide and I can't handle all the antisemitic people asking me difficult questions. Therefore, I would like the thread closed as I am looking more and more like an Islamophobe. Much more convenient to lock the thread and save me more embarassment. I've tried my utmost to report all those who have anything to say against Israel's Apartheid system or the Genocied they are committing but there are still a few left. Maybe a new topic that doesn't give them the opportuity to ask me questions I can't answer.

    You are lying as per usual, show proof that Israel is committing genocide, hint:- you cannot because they are not, it is Hamas that commits genocide by using their own people as human shields, but you already know this but always nice to troll.

    I completely agree there are several people who keep boasting nearly every day, and their posts are absolute drivel, no content

    What is worrying about a certain clique of posters they will surround another poster like a pack of hyenas and keep snarling at him until they've had their pound of flesh.

    Sorry Wobblybob, I do not quite understand whether these devices can be used as a normal hearing aid (e.g. for a conversation) or only in connection with a bluetooth source (e.g. amplifying the sound of a youtube video), OR for both these cases. 

    Thank you!

    No they are not a hearing aid as such but they work exactly like normal headphones except they don't go in your ear. The bluetooth ones can improve your ability to hear devices like a TV providing your TV is equipped with bluetooth of course. I use mine mainly to watch programs on YouTube etc. The sound quality is remarkable (for me at least) and they come with ear plugs to block out the sound of anyone else in the room listening to their device. Hope that as answered the question ThiAmo.

    Currently, a handful of members create new topics in the Pub that are constant drivel, all about nothing.

    Clearly took less than 30 seconds to write.

    Then follows hostile banter, personal attacks, page after page.

    This has been going on for some time already, and many members has commented on this.

     

    These handful members who do nothing else than post drivel, should be on Full Moderation (moderator approved, before thread / post become visible).

     

    Forums want traffic, preferable quality content that engage members and readers.

    Not nonsense drivel that mostly result in flaming trolling, multiple personal attacks. Plenty of this now, and increasing.

     

    Moderation is very complicated. Some other forum previously banned left and right for years, and lost many valuable quality members. 

    Those forum become famous for banning. As a result, less new members, less traffic.

     

    I believe that moderators should use Personal Message more often to warn individual members.

     

    Then increasing posting holiday for members who already received and ignored formal warnings given in PM.

     

    Some moderators are too strict, they've been moderator for too long.

     

    Example, I wrote a post where I made a joke about myself with a image (old man with a walking cane) I am old and after surgery, I needed a walking cane. This was lost on moderator, and post removed by a certain mod that members consider 'extremely strict'.

     

    Moderators should have a lifespan, as they become judgmental and over time some act too strict.

    Other forums required a minimum of 2 mods to agree, before action was taken. Only Admins had the power to ban.

     

    Luckily, some mods are excellent, balanced moderation, have a good sense of humor and make jokes with the members. 

     

    The Handbook is Excellent read, and toxicity is on a all time high, currently.

     

    Community Pub should be hidden from public view, and access only on request from members.

    Well written, very helpful, thanks.

    I’ll ask you the same question I’ve asked other opponents of the right to peaceful protest:

     

    The projection is for 70,000 people to attend.

     

    How many of those attending need to call for the ‘destruction of Israel’ before you brand all 70,000 as having ‘called for the destruction of Israel’?

     

    How many of the 70,000 need to break the law before brand all 70,000 as law breakers?

    You are the one that seems to be saying that it is alright to shout about the death and destruction of Jews and they be giving a free pass, but you band words like "right wing extremists" with gay abandon, you tell us.
