This site really is dying, isn't it?

No.

Seems to be a very long death, given people (and trolls) have been saying that for a while.

We're all "dying" anyway....technically.

I imagined that the curfew would be forcing people onto the site to make up for the lack of social contact that distancing requires. The opposite seems to be the case. Perhaps the daunting prospect of being gaslighted by people who tell you that you are saying something quite different to what you so obviously are is rather off-putting. Strangely enough the prospect of being accused of trolling by the site's most accomplished and persistent troll only encourages me.

@ TP (not toilet paper) - who would that be then??? I'm curious to know, is it me, or Nevillman, or someone else?! Come on, these are desperate times of isolation, even I am awaiting a revealing response from Tom Pain. This feels like watching the last kick of a penalty shoot-out.

I'd rather like to know who you regard this accomplished and persistent troll to be as well Tom.

@nevillman - i'll be honest with you.....i'd be slightly disappointed if this berk wasn't referring to me. If its you, I'll take it as magnanimously as possible, but I'll probably be a bit salty about it for a while.

I've been trying to be nice to Tom lately so it could well be you green. The reference to being accused of saying what he isn't is I think aimed at me.I think it refers to the unity thread where I have more or less directly quoted him as saying that he says all politicians are corrupt and we should let them get on with it. You only have to look at his post to see it written by him.I know that people deny having said something from time to time but denying you have ever something when it is there in black and white is a bit cheeky.
In case anyone asks, no I haven't got anything better to do.

I'm sure people can reach their own conclusions as to what I mean if they are bothered. Rest assured most people are suffering from nothing better to do. A lot of people have also come to the conclusion that a lot more people will suffer more from the damage to the economy than from the effects of the virus.

I spend a lot of time amusing myself by trying to work out what you mean Tom. The post in which you call all politicians corrupt and there is nothing we can do about it is pretty straight forward though. Please re-read it Tom. I don't take very kindly to the accusations you made of me manipulating what you said as it happens. I know better than to expect an apology but please be a bit more careful in the future.
