Do you have ears made of cloth, Pix?

Who said anything about banning sock accounts, or those who use them?

Not me. Quite the opposite.

Let me say it again, because you appear to not understand the use of very plain and simple English.

There is nothing intrinsically wrong with sock accounts, provided that they are not used to target individual posters, or as a cover for complete and utter cowards to post material that the craven coward knows will get him banned.

We all know that The Village Bike was a sock account, and whilst it has been (quite rightly) closed, the person behind it hasn't been banned. I (and several others) believe that the person behind that sock should be banned, not because he had the temerity to use a sock, but because he used the sock in a cowardly fashion to break the rules and to cross a line.

Please confirm that you understand that, Pix.

So you don't want a ban for contravening the rules per se? .. just for instances where contravening the rules might be to your personal discomfort or detriment?

Wouldn't just banning everyone that has had a sock account cure the problem you are so passionate about, Quents?
 
How am I a hypocrite, VB?

Read it again with your sparkly cowgirl hat on and realise that was exactly what you did to Piskie. The perpetrator of your particular angst did the same in principal.

Ps. Don't call me Victoria Bitter. <ok>

Come on lads it's not rocket science..

Socks are just a laugh...

Using a sock to open a thread revealing someone's personal details is out if order.

Are we not going to have a moral code on this board?

I 100% won't stay if people can't show genuine respect to each other. We're a decent bunch ffs, let's keep it that way... yeah?

Bambi, I know that you truly believe that you are being clever, but you are not. Your comments are offensive and as much out of order as the scumbag who published my personal details and photos.

Those could have been the photos of any of us.

Personally - and I have said this before - I don't care that people have discovered who I am. If you know the name of my band, you can even go and visit out public web page and our website. I play to a few thousand people during the course of a year, ffs! What I object to is scum and flotsam posting personal photographs from my Facebook page, without my consent. I would object if they did that to anyone. It is breach of the rules of this site, and it is in breach of legislation.

In other words, regardless of what I think or believe, and regardless of whether or not you are trying to be clever or merely a complete dickhead, it is wrong.

I suspect that a close look might also uncover some historic 'like' fraud ... a sock and it's creator discrediting the forum's 'reward' mechanism by liking 'each other's' posts ... shocking and unpalatable in polite society <laugh>

See, the use of personal insults is acceptable when used by the person who complains about them most. [HASHTAG]#hypocrite[/HASHTAG]

Like fraud? I suppose you believe people actually give a **** about the amount if likes they get? <laugh>

Each to their own mate.

I haven't personally insulted anyone.

And that is a bit rich coming from someone whose entire posing history is almost completely filled with invective and hate towards others.

Revealing someone's details on the open forum is out of order - complete agreement ... but Quents is off on another of his rants and is targeting the wrong poster on this occasion... ribbing him about his double standards is fair game ... if this was the only time he had called for bans I'd have far more sympathy ... but it isn't <ok>

Nope ... I care far more about the misuse of "if" when it should be "of" tbh <laugh> ... you should lighten up ... you too seem to have different standards with different posters ...fair enough ... you've always found Quents to be amusing rather than predominantly tedious ... each to their own mate <laugh>

All he's asking is that we show some common respect mate. Rattle on about his past etc as much as you like.

Please feel free to quote my "offensive" comments ... I'm intrigued <laugh>

My phone often does that...

This isn't about poster's mate it's about principle. I'd be exactly the same if it was Skiddy ffs. That's a promise.
