    My recollection of fp and the early days of jpp might be rose colored, but I don't remember a bunch of stormfronters, personal vendettas, and cynicism at that time. I thought everyone, for the most part, was pretty civilized to each other. I mean, I thought Dixie was about as bad as it got, he being kind of a confederate throw back, but even Dixie seems civil by todays message board standards.
    I agree about FP. The trolling there, in contrast to P.Com, was quite tame. I thoroughly enjoyed a thread when three trolls, all proclaiming to be different gods, got into a pissing contest. The first year of JPP was about the same.

    Oh, and there's some chap called 'Grind' giving his opinion, a little further down the thread, to boot.
    Ah, damn, I remember ILikeBoobs!!

    Perhaps "cunt" is the british word for "fuck". Both were strictly forbidden when I was a kid. Although my parents and their friends swore on occasion, "shit" was the extent of it, and I wasn't allowed to utter even that until I was financially independent. The culture is coarsening.

    Even among many of the original fp-jpp posters I have noticed a tangible drop in civility and manners. You would be surprised how seemingly well mannered people can devolve into foul mouthed, ill tempered, emotionally unstable, slandering, libeling, personal vendetta-pursuing, cynical goons.

    I know teenagers and children with better manners than some adult message boarders.

    I think it is a phenomena more broadly: the internet has bred, and provides safe harbor, for the worst instincts in humans who are too weak to exercise self-control. And I think it is worse now than it was ten or fifteen years ago. Part of it is the safety of an anonymous keyboard, part of it is lack of moderation, and part of it is the general acceptance of posters and moderators to tolerate racism, misogyny, and lying. I mean, these days when a rightwing message board poster calls black people n****ger or women c**ts, their fellow rightwing posters will provide safe harbor for it and will barely bat an eye
    You were making a good point until you made it partisan. Again it's this whole "us" vs "them" mentality that people foster. What we can do is control how we carry ourselves and how we respond and react to people.

    you are correct. "cunt" in Britain does not have the same meaning it does here

    You've called women cunts before now, I only use against men, apart from Darla, who is a tranny anyway.

    He always does that, every post of his will end up a diatribe against anyone he perceives to be to the right of him politically.

    I use it primarily because of that. As I've already said repeatedly it is not usually used by men on women, it's mainly used by men to other men. You lot had better not go to Ireland or Australia, or if you do, make sure to bring some smelling salts as it is everyday parlance.

    There's nothing wrong with a little cunt every now and again.

    As usual, cuntext is everything.

    Well there's good cunts, bad cunts, little cunts, nasty cunts, slimy cunts, sick cunts, sad cunts and effing cunts just for starters.

    My youngest son lives near Milton Street EC2, which was once called Gropecunt Lane. Trump would have been very happy down there.

    Now that you mention "little cunt". It's good to have you back, even with that truly appalling pun.

    Why thank you, Tom.

    Although, i don't know how long i'll stay around yet. Truth be told, i've not really got the enthusiasm for it anymore.

    Trump is writing his own grade-A material and celebrating cancer deaths just doesn't do it for me these days.

    True, I have become somewhat coarse along with society as a whole. I have, however, limited my cunt-calling to women who have called others "skank". So there's that.

    One of the best riddles of all time, considered "edgey" back in the day:

    What is the name of the intellectual female pygmy track team?
    "Cunning little runts."
