Also after discussing it with CB and amongst ourselves, we’ve decided we won’t punish people just for mentioning pissflaps anymore as long as it doesn’t cause an extended derail. What constitutes “an extended derail” is up to interpretation.

Lycus posted:Is Rory Stewart your guys's Beto/Mayor Butt? "Moderate" guy that very few people care about, but the media artificially pushes as the next big thing? He's a candidate for the tory (right wing party) leadership rather than Labour, so not exactly Beto. More of a moderate conservative compared with other options. It'd be more like if someone like Ryan Costello suddenly had a chance to dethrone Trump in the GOP. Unlikely but just weird.

I'm not arguing that Beto is left wing, just that he's a democrat so the media emphasis placed on him is slightly different.

He's more like our version of the never-trumpers.

I don't think Beto's the best comparison, more like... think of a Republican who has managed to avoid being known for their lovely record and manages to appeal to centrist dipshits as a result. e; ^^^ Yeah, that.

In excellent IRC channel #ukgoons on synric (link in OP) I had been referring to Ed Miliband every time he came up as Chaos with Ed Miliband and he changed his Twitter name to that. I posted on Sunday or Monday about Water Wolfgang having not thought about him for several years and he died on Thursday.
