There are loads of people who have had enough of the lot of them. Edited April 12, 2023 by offshoremanxman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t wait to see how many of the democracy warriors on here will stand next time - I’m getting popcorn in! 🙂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t wait to see how many of the democracy warriors on here will stand next time - I’m getting popcorn in! 🙂 It’s quite odd for someone to object quite so much about posters who make negative comments about DBC on here. It’s like how very dare people express a negative view even when it’s clear a lot of ratepayers aren’t happy about a variety of matters concerning DBC. Are you also going to suggest that anyone who expresses a bad opinion about Rob C must stand in Onchan at the next election otherwise they can’t criticize anything he does? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not objecting…say what you want. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. I’m just speculating whether anyone will feel strongly enough about it, out in the real world, to actually stand against her.

No you are quite strongly objecting and quite evidently it is difficult to express an opinion here. We all live in the real world and I find it hard to regard anything said here as not being part of the real world. Many people aren’t happy and I think DBC trying to write off negative social media comments as not representative of what people actually think is disingenuous. I also think that some people annoyed by all this will stand as unopposed seats in Douglas are becoming a joke. If I was in Wells’ Ward I would stand as I don’t think she deserves to get back in at all. I’m sure others feel the same but to suggest people can’t complain if they aren’t prepared to stand is nonsense and if that was the case nobody would be able to comment about anything related to politics on this forum at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 You do not have to live in constituency to vote for a MHK perhaps you do not have to live in a Ward to stand for City Council I do not know …Offshore you may be able to carry out your threat….

hissingsid Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 It was Offshore that was saying if he lived in Mrs Wells ward he would have a go and stand against her I was wondering if he could if he lived elsewhere 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve been more than aware in the last month there have been forum members tactically reporting fairly harmless posts in order to try to get other account holders suspended. So I remain sceptical about what you say that you can’t stop me or anyone else expressing a view.

That is your opinion: you are entitled to hold it and I shall fight to the death to allow you to express it freely! However, for the record, I have never reported any poster for any comment since I joined - just not something I’ve done… eta: on reflection, I find it intriguing that you think I would try to shut you down, just because I disagree with you.
