Why Ban Anyone? Sep 29, 2011
I see that a lot of fierce skirmishes have taken place since I last had the temerity to peek in here. And things appear to be on the boil at the moment! :shock:
However, I am not for banning anyone.
How boring would it be to come to a tame and docile Forum, where everyone is in total agreement with everybody else! A sanitized environment, that I would gladly shun. I love the depravity! :P
If you dont like someone's post, then a counter argument once twice or thrice even should be the limit, and then ignoring him or her thereafter is the best policy. The rant is bound to die down sooner or later.
Finally, I should like to say, I am a fence sitter. I should like to cheer both sides on to greater effort. Put more sting in it. Go on you can do it. Rise to the occasion. :mrgreen:
Let the abuse begin.
And let the show go on. :alien:

Zonker my man.

That's the most logical content post in here for a long time.

It's unfortunate that some of the individualsbhere are to thick to understand

Its not logical at all.

You get people posting really nasty things from behind the anonymity of an avatar - without anyone here to police the terrible conduct - but then worry about the environment being too sanitized? Having moderation is not about making everyone agree with each other, it about stopping the trolls and abuse. Clearly online communities where people don't post with their own names and pictures need consistent moderation or else they descend into a garbage heap.

Yes, clearly people are being very responsible...

If people get pissed off enough who knows if someone won't get stabbed. It has happened in France over a video game, and in the UK over an internet forum.

I'm reminded of the child who was puzzled why people would stand over pools of milk and cry - she couldn't understand why people 'cried over spilt milk'. :D

In both cases the pissed off person tracked their target down and attacked them at their own front doors. Both lived, thankfully. Very scary though! I doubt those guys thought that a scuffle with a stranger over the internet could result in violence at their home.

Why so serious FD??? I found some humor in the statement that someone could stab someone "over the internet". Being threatened over the internet is verbal, being stabbed over the internet would be physical.:D

Yeah FD loosen up. I thought Dutch people were chilled out.

Bora, the only place Herve is likely to get two for one is at the local supermarket.
Actually maybe I am underestimating the threat and should engage in pre-emptive action. No what am I saying, that's just not right.

^I thought you'd finally taken off the tinfoil hat BM, but alas - it seems firmly lodged on your head.

Doesn't it get in the way of the blue-rinse? ;)

A snitch? How very dare you call my friend a snitch for letting me know you' ve been sending PMs about me to my friends!

If he's a snitch what does that make you? At best a sly underhand little b1tch and at worsta coward. Which is it Big Girl?

^Shouldn't you be concentrating on your Bingo?

BTW - I asked my wife about the Burqa request - she suggested I ask my mum to help you out, as she doesn't have anything that would suit a granny. :D

She muttered something about mutton dressed as lamb ... does that mean something to you? ;) :D

But seriously, shouldn't you devote more time to the old biddies you're out with?
