    The usual lot who take every damn thread and turn it into an agenda will complain and then start shitting all over the place.

    Both sides of the fence...

    But I am sure we have good people on both sides.

    (and you'd be surprised how much of the moderating is driven by some very pragmatic decisions - following reports from members.)

    Find me a recipe for this...

    shit sandwich (plural shit sandwiches)

    (informal, vulgar) Something highly undesirable made triflingly more palatable by attempting to surround it with more tolerable things.

    Take one former British colony . . .
    Stir in one Chief Executive tethered to puppet strings . . .
    Put it under the heat of one Belligerent Neighbor to the north . . .
    Sprinkle in the spice of a trampled-upon Handover Agreement . . .
    Garnish with International Condemnation . . .
    Serve with a side of Grim Future.

    Pairs nicely with Kool-aid

    Why do you think there was a "site maintenance" yesterday? Shri had to install the CCP monitoring application on.

    There are probably 3 national and 1 SAR leader that should be fair game for abuse about HK polices

    - Xi
    - Johnson
    - Trump
    - Lam

    Only 3 are regularly ridiculed or lambasted.

    I once really wanted to start a thread about the things mainland students say... I refrained. Its started already.

    Am I allowed to say that?
