Beth I want nothing of the sort. Please read my post #191 above, particularly these parts. Words I didn't write, but sum up my position perfectly.
Sorry mate, I dont agree with that at all. If only I knew how to include the quotes in previous thread. many of the arguments, discussions and heated debates I've experienced on here are with established posters. Many whom refuse to see other peoples views & rightly or wrongly flare up over the most ridiculous things even when the evidence is there in front of them. think of all the Adel, supporter v fan and Colin threads, that have become heated. None of them were because of trolls, WUMs or any other wind up. they were because usually reasonable people refuse to accept that others have a right to an opinion. As for the last paragraph, lets re-write it shall we. the internet is a wonderful resource when used correctly. When abused it can spread malice, hatred and racism. It alone is soley responisble for a large number of marraige & relaitionship break up, self harm through cyber bullying and promotion of predudice. Trolls are just another part of this beautifull forum. Makes just as much sense as the previous [post to me!
Fair enough QL. I'm here to challenge my own views and see how they hold up. In the light of your post I have to tell you they haven't changed.
More evasion. Let me spell it out again... There is no shadowy cabal of posters, exchanging PM's and "forcing" mods to act. There's just you, Grifter and Swords making ridiculous and unfounded allegations that none of you can substantiate. Trolling or cognitive dissonance? Either way it's sad. "...in fact i am the Burj Khalifa of self-regarding Bullshit." Don't undersell yourself. Think Olympus Mons and keep going.
ok then telford I don't know swords saint or Brixton I like what I read from them all I think swords should pull his head in every now and then I don't think he should be banned I think Brixton has let this spiral out of control I have sent a pm to matt saying brix should stay and the willy waving contest should end at the end of the day I doubt 3 people would say he should leave let alone 15 maybe he wants a break and would rather be pushed than take the jump himself it seems a lot of work being a mod with little thanks by the way brix thanks for the job you do cant be easy at times
Thanks Kiwi. No willy waving about it tbh. The trouble with the net and site's like this, is that very basic human need for order - even in such intangible wilderness. Why bother to moderate anything? I do it, not because I agree with the concept of modding sites but because it's there to do and I enjoy an intriguing (management-related) challenge. And you and others are half right, this isn't (and is) still a Swords thread... And I and (though I haven't discussed it with him) Telford have hijacked it. Oh, naughty Brixton! Now why might that be, I imagine you asking. Could it be a need to draw attention to myself by going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on purely for the hell of it - and in defiance of all rhyme, reason and agreed rules, without a care in the world for what anyone else thinks? Food for thought maybe. As for Telford: jugular style, obviously not everyone's cuppa but in the context of internet practices, if we read and think about what he says, not far wide of the mark is he?
