Amorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

it's supposed to be a local forum for local people, but it is owned by a businessman in exeter (which is almost as far from yorkshire as you can be).
as soon as you get close to breaching their 'terms and conditions' (which are exhaustive, to say the least) the mods instantly slap you with their 'ooh, get me, tremble at my power' ban-hammer.
apparently, i can't call half of the local populace 'retards...thickwits...and 3-watts' (and they really are) because it is 'potentially abusive, offensive or inappropriate language'. i didn't mention any names, i didn't swear and i wasn't offensive.
i did use the word 'masturbate' once, glad i didn't use 'wank' though. that might have damaged mr exeter's advertising revenue...
you can put in a 'support ticket' if you want, but you might as well write on an albatross with a sharpie. i'm still waiting for a reply after 2 hours.
i have reminded them to put a stamp on the envelope ;)

The hardship described here puts me in mind of my days liberating Bergen-Belsen.
When will we learn the lessons of history!?

for skirting round their 'no rude words' rules, by telling someone to go and Google 'STFU'.
