FAO The moderators (are you faithful or traitors?)

[mygiddypant]

I see that my thread on Trump's disgusting statement on the role of non-American soldiers in Afghanistan has been

hidden in the thread on TDS.

You have done a disservice to the honour of the brave by including it in a topic which, the premise being so ridiculous, is

barely worthy of discussing.

So, where will you hide this?

[frogmiller]

I don?t give a flying **** what you think!

I have my opinion that may align with yours!

The thing is ! Can you accept mine or not?

I have accepted yours. Although I may not agree but I accept that you are entitled to your opinion.

[mygiddypant]

I don?t give a flying **** what you think!

A tad overreacting, Froggy?

So was the integration of the two threads done on your watch?

It was done by me as the subject had already been raised and started to be discussed on that Trump thread. One Trump thread is enough for me.

The reaction tells you all you need to know giddy. Power mad.

I'm nowhere near as regular a visitor to this site as I used to be and I'm shocked to see such blatant bias and intolerance. The thread wasn't moved for any reason other than the mod didn't agree with the sentiment and tried to bury the thread and shut up the voice. So much for objectivity and impartiality. It's pathetic and so poetically appropriate, occurring as it did on a thread disparaging Trump.

I've seen some fantastic debates in my 22 years on MM - footy and politics. This site used to be so vibrant. Sadly, it's become a fading shadow of it's former self with cliques and intolerance being the order of the day.

Cue the mysterious disappearance of this thread

Have to disagree it’s not about power. CAM often merges threads if they are about the same person. The thread can still be commented on if people choose to.
Maybe the OP is annoyed that it hasn’t triggered enough responses that he was hoping for?

[Scum-Triumphant]

I had searched for the TDS thread and put a post on it about his ****ty remarks before your new post.

When yours were merged I just saw it as the mods doing a bit of housekeeping.
Nothing to get upset about

[mygiddypant]

It was done by me as the subject had already been raised and started to be discussed on that Trump thread. One Trump thread is enough for me.

Ideally there wouldn't be any threads on Trump, Farage, Tiny Tim or any of the other 'populists' that get regularly raised on here.

The TDS thread had effectively died and is a frivolous subject. It is a Trumpian response to criticism, not a medical condition. If you can convince me otherwise, I'll drink my bleach.

Trump's comments have caused grave offence to the families and friends of the deceased and maimed. Putting the subject into a thread that hardly anyone was taking seriously compounds the offence.

I'll readily admit to treating much of the stuff on here flippantly, but not this. In response to Yak it's not about 'clicks', it's about the offence this lying, disgraceful piece of excrement has caused.

As for his 'faithful', perhaps someone can guide me to the measured response by Poundland Nigel or 'I'm on holiday' Tommy.

That's what I call clickbaiting.

[Townerslovechild]

I think the mods generally do difficult job well on here.
I can see why Cam merged these 2 threads, but I can also see why some think there might have been an ulterior motive ,and in this instance I don't think there was.
Anyone with a handful of brain cells can see Tango for what he is...a dangerous, thick,man-child bully.
Apparently millions of people think this is good.

So it’s a police political point you want to make. ? You don’t like Trump which is fair enough but that’s your point.
The caused grave offence thing is lost in your hatred for Trump again fair enough I know probably better than anyone on here the suffering from what he spoke about. I chose not to comment because I believe your intentions are with Trump who is bang out of order with the comment rather than the troops.
I put a post on a while ago about how the SAS has been treated by this government. You weren’t bothered then so why do you care about the forces now?
You don’t it’s your hatred of Trump what’s driving this which is fair enough just be honest.
I’ve been there lived it I know the suffering incredibly close to home for me so don’t need use fake disgust disguised in a rant at Trump.

Yes, I hate Trump.

Don't remember seeing your post re SAS. Perhaps if I did I didn't think it worth responding to.

"fake disgust" is pathetic.

Hard to believe sometimes this forum is frequented by adults.

Hopefully this may help assuage those troublesome TDS symptoms...

Donald Trump has praised "very brave" British soldiers who served in Afghanistan after fierce criticism of his claim non-US troops had stayed back from the frontline.

He said Britons "were among the greatest of all warriors" as he acknowledged the 457 who died and many "badly injured".

"The GREAT and very BRAVE soldiers of the United Kingdom will always be with the United States of America!" Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"It's a bond too strong to ever be broken," the president added.

"The U.K. Military, with tremendous Heart and Soul, is second to none (except for the U.S.A.!). We love you all, and always will!"

Ask yourself a question. Why didn't he say this initially?

I'll give you a probable answer; because he doesn't believe it.

Another point you have seemingly forgotten. NATO isn't just the Brits and the Americans. Per capita the Danish lost as many troops as the Americans.

And what about the other nations that contributed to the coalition and suffered casualties? Is Trump going to issue apologies country by country? Of course not.

If you read his statement carefully it isn't an apology. He doesn't apologise because he's incapable of recognising that he's ever wrong. He is a narcissist par excellence.

Take your MAGA hat off and put it in the bin. And try looking at the bigger picture.
