Yep, yes or no to keeping the thread open
Only with a guarantee we can have another on just before the final action, just to be sure we truly want it open or closed.
And then based on that, a referendum on independence for the chat forum. Who needs all this talk about bikes after all? 
Is it as bad as the single pivot debate thread?
Poops.....nope 
On the plus side it's helped my inhabit my blackout script list.
Not read this whole thread. Its certainly run its course. Its only worth it now for comedy value.
The price of chocolate will definitely go up.
Does it ever go down?
Effectively due to wage stagnation, inflation and Brexit about to screw over the economy for the foreseeable future. Many people have less money and their money will be worth less (wage stagnation) if the price of imported food goes up. People will be thinking twice about buying cheap cadburys mush, yet alone some posh truffles. Just my opinion.
Personally, I blame that Matt_OutandAbout fella for starting it all. If anyone deserves a ban, it's him.
Sometimes in life I find myself triggering processes, events and reactions that I don't understand.
Ban me, oh mighty banner....
Most important social, economic and political issue of our lifetimes. Just a pity people can’t be more civil but thats just STW and not related to this specific issue.
I am just miffed (*) the EU Referendum thread I started immediately after the 2015 GE only got to a few hundred posts. @matt holds the STW thread record I believe and it’s still growing
(*) only joking

Civil:
7. adhering to the norms of polite social intercourse; not deficient in common courtesy:
After their disagreement, their relations were civil though not cordial.
8.
marked by benevolence:
He was a very civil sort, and we liked him immediately
Civility can be yielded as a weapon, a snobbery devoid of value. Both yourself an THM do this frequently on the EU, thread Jamba. A mistruth delivered in a polite mannere is still a mistruth and as such insults the intelligence of the reader, however decorative and respectful the language may superficially appear.
Take a look at THM's contribution to the current page of the EU thread. Superficially delightful, but he crosses out a religious reference thus mocking Cougar's comments on the difficulties of moderation and the whole post clearly lacks sincerity.
Civilility without sincerity is insulting.
Have a nice day.
Edikator - can I just point out that that is precisely the sort of post that escalates tensions?
I have written but not posted several similar ones myself
Sorry but have to...
Reported!
(I haven't, btw!) 
TJ, there is an irony in your post referring escalation, in this post too.
Sorry, just being pedantic. 
I understand that. this is me in thoughtful mode rather than argumentative. Edukators post is the sort of post that IMO would merit a slap down " play nicely children"
If pointing out that the person asking us to be civil takes the Micky with just about every post he makes on the EU thread is trolling or escalation then I welcome the ban that follows. It needs to be said.
I used to go through the mail written in English with... his English was good enough to read and understand so he didn't need the content translating, I was there for the tone, the nuances, the subtleties, because even though people on forums say humour and tone don't coem across in writing, they do.
Have a look at my only post on Saxon's last religious thread about being a pilgrim. It's in realy simplistic child like English with measure of self derision. The intention was to be sincere without provoking (edit; and make them smile rather than get annoyed with the religious content). I think it worked.
Bit blowy out.
Flat calm here.
Wet and windy here.
Fairly calm on the EU thread.
Which is nice.
