    My point stands.

    BTW bit hard to boycott a government. If you know of a way, let me know.

    Clarification: vote for someone else. Make sure you vote, even if it requires holding your nose while doing it. That's only wasted vote is the one not cast. That's the key. I don't care who for (that would be politics, which is verboten on here), just vote. Voting confers maximum moaning rights.

    Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

    Not voting for any party just gives those who do more power (albeit a very small amount) to their individual vote. A better "boycott" is to write to the parties you have issue with and let them know why you will be voting for someone else - if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, will they care?

    My "Principles" are values led, but that doesn't mean there is no emotional involvement with them.

    I think you’ll find that it’s not interesting at all.
    I made the chriskeeling account a while ago but when I came to post this question thread on my pc I couldn’t remember the details so I just quickly made this ‘catharsis’ account.. then yesterday when I posted that reply I found that my phone had been logged into my original chriskeeling account the whole time, so I switched the reply back to this account so it made sense. Sorry for confusing you or causing undue interest 😂

    Anyway, this thread has gone to the dogs. Lesson learned about this forum.. better to just stay away.

    You’re missing a hang of a lot of context there. Although it pays to have thick skin round here, don’t just write it off after one single thread.
    Takes a while to recognise running themes and innuendo within some of the discussion.

    Lol, speak for yourself. For me the forum is a surrogate hunting mentor, since I lack one myself, and the info is the main attraction.

    Haha oh no, I’m not about to write the entire forum off. Just learning what it’s like here.. especially when asking questions.. not about having a thick skin either, that kind of thing doesn’t bother me.
    I’d just rather not have to wade through pages of guys ranting and arguing over completely irrelevant politics to glean the odd nugget of info on a specific subject haha.

    The reason we as a forum are a bit twitchy about people with multiple accounts etc.. , is that we have had a few scammers and fakers on here in the last little while so people are looking to see if there is any funny business going on. Feel free to stay away by all means, but just thought you might like a bit on context to being called out for a bit of confusing handle shenanigans.

    If you do feel inclined we have a vacancy for a good bullshitter/ story teller. Last one left a while ago when someone went detective on him.

    One thing Ill do when buying on line here or overseas especially if I'm looking at buying something expensive is buy a small item first to see what the service and and product is like. If its shit Ill just spend the money somewhere else...
