Another shitty podcast to listen to on the bus. Page 3

Good man - I'll grab them now.

I'd also add the obvious Gervais ones, and for a football/comedy type one - The Football Ramble.

No worries. Been meaning to listen to the Gervais ones, I'll check them out. Anyone else got any they'd like to share?

I've just downloaded a shedload of playwriting ones - I'll post on this thread when I've had a listen

Cheers for the recommendations! I now have the background noise for my afternoon sorted!

Jumping on board? This is the forum I moderate and I have watched this for a while I've found it rather comical how you enjoy clearly making little constructive criticism on peoples work and snap at people who stand up to you.

I don't know why you've been like this recently but you're a bloody funny bloke David and it's a shame you seem to be turning on people like this.

Not to speak too out of term here, but what absolute rubbish, what is going on here exactly? Why are people suddenly deciding to have a go at Bussell? There are several c**ts who frequent these boards from time to time, we all know who they are, I think the moderators could spend their time more constructively going after them. From what I've seen, Bussell tends to offer nothing but constructive crit.

What you've put there Paul is almost entirely wrong. Including the bit about David being funny, he really isn't.

Not a podcast, but I've just started downloading all the Blue Jam stuff.

Yeah, I mean have you even seen my stand up? It's f**king terrible. I saw an old lady prolapse once. How dare you!

Cook'd and Bomb'd has just about everything Morris has ever done available for download too (if you don't have it already).

Agreed. I may have been laughing on the outside, but I was dying slowly on the inside.

But having pretended they're not, they're fair game. Simple as that.

Regardless of who posted that comment, I'd have to intervene. No one is 'fair game' neither you, Bussell, any other regular, or a new poster. The term 'Fair game' suggests legitimate targets, outsiders, justification to have a pop at someone, etc.

BCG is about a community of peers. And although anyone can talk down to me if they wish (as has happened from time to time), I don't mind, but I won't stand back and let it happen to others.

This is all very weird; you, Paul and Aaron having a go. Let's get some perspective. Go after the c**ts, anyone who knows David knows hes not one of them. David offers more constructive crit than a lot of people. This feels like hounding to me, especially with Aaron and Paul wading in.

If someone calles the podcast shitty in the thread title, then it is more than reasonable to use the same word to describe it. That's why he's set himself up as fair game.

Now I'm off out to eat a f**king ice cream. I kind of hope this has got more out of hand by the time I get back.

At this point I'd like to know what GoodLad thinks...

Quote: Steve Sunshine @ April 24 2010, 12:34 AM BST

I agree with everyone.

Another reason why I love the Sunshine. :)

I am still weighing the matter up.

There is one poster who makes nothing but bitchy, often personal, and unhelpful posts when ever they pop up. I don't know how they get away with it. Maybe we need to report them Matthew, whenever they do it.

But having pretended they're not (the author), they're fair game.

You're changing your reasoning, Matt. First, he's fair game for pretending not to be the author, now it's for using 'shitty'. I responded to your original quote so my comments that no one is fair game apply to that.

Whether someone uses the word 'shitty' or not doesn't excuse a similar response.

I'm trying to be absolutely fair and impartial here, and as explained above, I intervened (and unwillingly so) after a LOT of thought and then discussion.

To be fair, I've already said publicly and privately that if a report is made I'll follow it up.

Sorry, I didn't mean you wouldn't do anything if it was reported. :)

I meant maybe some posters - including myself - should be more proactive in flagging up abusive posts.
