Destort 0 Posted July 3, 2009 [quote user="Smudger"][quote user="Nuff Said"]Cluck, are you so determined to prove that you march to your own drum and no-one else''s that you are deliberately carrying on with the playground insults... or can you just not help yourself? It''s not that funny. Give it a rest for a bit eh?[/quote]Yes now Pete is taking more direct orders from Mr Phillips, we all have to be one big happy family Clucky...

I''ve already seen one thread removed for no obvious reason other than perhaps one of the so called mods didn''t like it. Indeed, the "... cut out the insults... getting rather tiresome" instruction ...... suggests to me an authority and self-opinion which is starting to get a bit too inflated and removed from reality.

Pinks 0 Posted July 3, 2009 After growing up watching horror films and playing computer games I''m desensitized and insults can''t hurt me.What with knife crime, terrorism, swine flu and mrsa, a few harsh words can''t hurt.In fact, I quite like getting abused.

Lincs CR 0 Posted July 3, 2009 Agreed, I used to post in here quite a lot but have taken a back seat lately... it seems like having an opinion is a sin to a select few on here... some of the things being said lately belong in the playground not on the forum...

ACE 0 Posted July 3, 2009 Utter tosh. There is a very good reason why EVERY SINGLE forum on the net that does not disintegrate has active mod teams. It is very simply that people do NOT regulate themselves on forums and as with any aspect of life need marshalling - otherwise who would need the police, managers, politicians etc etc.[quote user="Evil Monkey"][quote user="ACE"]A fair point.

If you wouldn''t insult a stranger to their face, why do it on here? Its cowardly and childish. Banter is one thing, but what I''ve seen on here in recent times is a long way from banter... a long way!Besides, I don''t think telling us off for our language and behaviour is Pete''s job... he moderates this forum as one aspect of his day job and, I suspect, because he tends to enjoy it. Yesterday Pete was out at the RNS doing other bits of his job and logs on, in his spare time, to see some pretty nasty stuff. Is this fair on the man or on the people who were on the receiving end of it? Its continuing today, from some of the usual suspects, and I can''t say I''d be too happy if I was in his position.............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
