    Anyway, the fact is, there is ONE thread in Blank Canvas about the matter, and the remainder of it in the off-topic section, where such discussions belong, so I’d suggest that’s hardly “spamming the forum” with politics. Furthermore, that’s where the discussions will remain. The subject will not be raised anywhere else. You have my word on that.

    The problem is (as has been evidenced by your contributions on the Scottish independence threads), you’d appear to rather just move on, brush any potential fraud/corruption under the carpet, and kid on it doesn’t exist, than ruffle any feathers by exposing it. In that respect, you appear to have your own agenda, as well as being a bit of a drama queen. Sorry, I have to be honest. “Members going to war”, FFS, mate, get a grip….

    I’m afraid that (because I strongly believe that fraud has been committed, and that the referendum vote was rigged), I’m the exact opposite: I want to make as much NOISE AND FUSS as possible, and expose it as far as I’m able to, in an effort to try and have the issue properly investigated by the relevant authorities.

    Quite simply, if my efforts here add more names to the petition (and the numbers of people signing it are growing all the time), and something good/constructive comes from that, then it’ll have all been worthwhile.

    Simples!

    Marco.

    Good afternoon gents.
    Fairly long time, no see for most of us, I think.
    This thread is interesting. It's been sparked off as a reaction to Marco's rage at what he calls the establishment abusing their power in order to rig a vote.
    Well, perhaps an explanation is in order for this screenshot that I took about 8 minutes ago.



    What's going on Marco?

    Sorry about that, you can ignore the other two votes, then

    Well, it shows that three people have voted that politicising a forum is good and that they are all you. It seems a little at odds with your stance on another poll.

    Dunno what happened, Chris. See post above. Welcome back, btw. Is this a fleeting visit or something more permanent?
