There is no bias, you just think there is. We don't censor. Your position seems to be - being nasty to everyone but Morrissey=OK; being nasty to Morrissey=Not OK. It's all comment whether you like 0r agree with it or not. So stop whining. And post what the hell you like. Because I and everyone on this site encourage you to.

People defend Morrissey on a Morrissey forum, shocker!

some of us remember when it wasn't embarrassing to support what he said.

I'm not sure what you mean here. My point is that someone here, a regular contributor, literally made something up as a reflex response to defend Morrissey when he wasn't even the subject. A ridiculous, defend-at-all-costs, they've-all-got-it-in-for-me position, with zero logicality. And I bet you 100% this will get thrown back at me with the same non-existent accusations. Just you watch. Anyway, in summary - arseholes.

You're a stranger person Uncle Skinny, no wonder you have a dead-end job. Yes, I did look into your accounts via Tor.

Oh dear oh dear. If travelling the world as a troubleshooter for a multinational company is a dead end job, I'll take it every time, you creepy f***er.

Oh and not to labour the point, once the arguments are over it's the messenger that gets attacked. Play the ball, not the man.

In all the discussion on this thread I completely missed the fact that Johnny is wearing a suit jacket over a giant yellow jumper. Dead.

Tor is simply a method of layering network routing, it wouldn't slow you to 'look into' shit. Please don't make any further poor IT centric posts. It makes me want to burn people .
