First topic message reminder :

Around the autumn of 2007 I came across the MSN message boards and found one entitled "UK Politics" which I joined and enjoyed for over three and a half years, then around April 2011 MSN decided in their wisdom to close down that particular message board.

Over time the MSN message board posters had become like friends, and though I had never met any of them, they became as familiar as the regulars I have a pint with in the local village pub, one or two were fairly nasty and quite vile, most were very pleasant people.

Fortunately, one of the redundant MSN bloggers (Ivan) decided to start his own political blogging site, and many of the old MSN posters followed him to his newly created site, and after a competition to find a name, it was agreed to call it "Cutting Edge".

I have to point out that Ivan ran things in a very fair and democratic way, the members decided the rules, they chose the name and logo, several of us were appointed as moderators and common sense prevailed.

Unfortunately the host of our board was "ProBoards" whom I would definately NOT recommend to anyone, they pulled the plug and closed Cutting Edge down saying that we had broken the rules.
To this day we still do not know what rule(s) were broken, and by whom, we wrote very polite emails to ProBoards asking for an explanation, but we got no answer other than "you broke the rules".

And so here we are WELCOME

I very much doubt that Theresa May would join this forum - but in the unlikely event that she did, I doubt if she would register as a male, unless it was 'an oversight', of course! scratch

Red Flan? Sorry, but you've lost me entirely. If it's a British reference, you'll have to excuse me, as I'm American.

Hello.

My name is Claudine and I found this place through Ivan on Twitter, where my name is Quietnotstupid.
I didn't used to say a lot but I've found myself becoming more vocal the angrier I get with this coalition government.

I'm disabled, of ethnic minority and female which of course means that my Tory MP, the insufferable Stewart Jackson, hates me and has blocked me but that fills me with joy.

I look forward to reading what everyone has to say and I might just chip in when I get really angry!

Thank you.

Stuart: He blocked me when I mentioned that to him and said that the reason for the block was that I was loony leftie that swore all the time.

Now anyone who knows me will know that that's rubbish because I never swear - not at anyone. I just wasn't brought up that way, my mother would have never allowed it. Now I can think swear words (!) but I never physically utter them. Strange, I know!

He's nothing but a two-faced bullying liar who hates being bested by a female.

Can you tell I'm not his biggest fan.....?!

This thread is for hellos, not goodbyes! Sad

We prefer not to delete accounts that have been used, since all the messages become anonymous and just say 'guest' afterwards. We thought that Forumotion had found a way to fix that, but they haven't yet. So instead we deactivate accounts, which has the added advantage that they can be switched back on again if requested.

I'll send you an email later today, or possibly tomorrow. I sincerely hope you will reconsider and continue your membership.

Sorry Ivan. I got the wrong end of the stick re: the email that was sent out to the members. I thought because I'm a sporadic poster here and sometimes stay away for months at a time, you were doing a cull (as it were) Smile

Thank you for your email which explained it so I guess you are stuck with me. Smile Hope you are well.

Post by Ivan Wed Feb 25, 2015 10:56 am

snowyflake. I’m really pleased that you’ve decided to keep your account here open. We’ve known each other for a long time and your intelligent contributions, sometimes displaying your extensive scientific knowledge, are a credit to Cutting Edge.  Very Happy

I probably didn’t make the newsletter to members clear enough, so in case anyone else is troubled by it, I’ll explain the position again:-

- If a member has posted more than ten messages, their account will remain open for as long as they wish, even if they haven’t logged in to Cutting Edge for several years.

- If a member has posted between one and ten messages but hasn’t logged in for more than a year, they may get ten days’ notice that their account will be closed unless they confirm that they intend to use it.

- If someone creates an account, posts no messages and doesn’t even bother to log in for three months or more, it will be deleted without a reminder.

That last point is the only change from what was happening previously, when I was wasting time sending emails to those who clearly had no intention of using their accounts. I suspect that some people may have been opening them just to be a nuisance to us, while others may have been spammers who lost interest when they realised that they couldn’t flood the forum with personal messages if they hadn’t made ten postings on the boards.

Hello all, just joined the forum at the invitation of Ivan on twitter. I look forward to joining in as often as I can.  Always been a labour supporter, never thought it could get worse than the Thatcher years and here we are, much worse. I'm Scottish but have lived in the North West since 1985.

Hello to all.

I came across this forum via a link to a very interesting post by Ivan (Why is it taken as axiomatic that the Tories are better at running the economy?). I am Miriam Binder, old, grey haired, disabled and, though not a natural Labour voter, very much on the left side of the divide.
