On Saturday morning, I awoke after a night out with something of a hangover and discovered that, at

[Berni]

some point on Friday night I had been banned from posting comments on The Guardian website.

Now, I don't really mind. It was bound to happen sooner or later and in one sense I consider it a badge of pride. What annoys me, however, is not knowing what I said to finally get myself banned. I would at least like to think I went out with a bang of deep and visceral offensiveness.

That's amazing. It must have been quite a tirade.

It had to happen sooner or later, didnt it?

[Berni]

and that one was banned, too. I have literally no memory of what I said. :hehe:

I thought 'Allahu Snackbar' deserved a lot better than 37 likes, tbf. Humourless lot, y'see (although I could probably have worked harder on selling the gag).

these precious little snowflakes.

[Ashberto]

I was under the impression that you had no recollection of what you said because drink had been taken in some quantity.

that isn't 'trolling', as it isn't a persistent pattern of such behaviour. That's just being drunk and (probably) a ****.

[Berni]

I think they do 'egregious ****' as some sort of extra module at that school.
