I don't believe I have called anyone names or been personally insulting. I have been called a Nazi, that's the only one I recall but there may have been others. Oh there was the guilt by association attacks on those that hunt being murderers and child molesters. Far better to respond intelligently rather than emotionally.

There are certainly some here that begin every attack on a differing opinion with an insult, calling someone an idiot or a moron etc. Nothing I can do about it. Ultimately it only lowers their own standing on the forum and lessens whatever good points they may bring to their argument, to both the person it is directed to and to other members.

I have not seen anything as bad as the garbage that spilled from imperial's keyboard and I think it took too long for him to be banned. Like I have said before, in the topic dealing with imperial, I decided very early on to treat him as persona non grata.

Grendal should probably have known, and I suspect that he did know, that his topic about One Nation would have largely been recieved negatively. I for one am disappointed at the demise of O.N. from the democratic political landscape. Regardless of flawed economic views, show me a party who doesn't, they represented the views of many Australians that have the right to hold those views AND be represented. Too much name calling from a few there.

I did think that Exotic's " Phil's neck being a holster for a knife " represents a over the top aggression that needs to be reighned in and contributes nothing to the forum or to his/her own image. If that matters to him I do not know.

Life is too short to bicker over trifles.

My neighbor has cancer. She has 6 months to live and 3 small kids.

Perspective.

Move on.

Easel and Amadd, quit the bickering please.

Grendel, obviously I am going to deal with the more persistent rule breakers and the more obvious insults first. I am going to deal with the problems I am aware of, not the ones I don't know about. Maybe I would have time to deal with the rest, if it wasn't such a pain in the arse trying to deal with people like you who find any excuse for their behaviour. I am not a babysitter. I am not going to hold your hand and walk you through this. Either follow the rules or don't bother posting here. If you can't be bothered reporting abuse you see from others, don't whinge about it later on when you get pulled up for it. Either report it or get over it, but don't try to use it to deflect attention from your own behaviour. Take responsibility for your own actions.

Yep you got that right BO. Didn't you notice that it was I who moved the argument away from this thread?

And FD, I think I was being courteous by moving the bickering away from this thread.
I hope you realise that my comments were censored for absolutely no reason at all besides control-freak purposes, and he also tried to take one of my threads from another forum so that he could have control over the content.
Why would I discuss my beefs in his forum where he can censor my posts at will? I'm just giving honest feedback.
In effect, you've muted me from airing my grievances.

And Kennedy I'm very sorry to hear about your neighbor, but freedom of speech remains an important issue.
You could start a thread about the cruel blows that life deals out.

Yes, I did censor you for control freak purposes. To stop you being one. I don't want to play this game again. Please stop.

I don't care about why you were censored and I'm not interested in the personal dispute it is turning into. I give you plenty of different boards to post on so that I wouldn't have to deal with this crap. Rather than moving the bickering to another thread on feedback, why don't you just get over it?

You need a moderator for the moderators FD.  Someone to settle these disputes instead of having both parties complaining and disrupting the threads.

It only happens on the members boards.

Yes, and you supplied a "Feedback Board".
I'm giving you feedback as to what one of your mods. is up to.
If you're not interested then why supply it at all?

Where's the moderator of the "Feedback Board".  He/she should be dealing with these complaints FD?

That's a bit concerning when you get someone who volunteers for an adjudicating job.

I nominate either abu_rashid or locutius or sappho.

Fine Easel - it was only a suggestion to help FD out.  Sensible choices...put a poll up and get votes on the 3 of them - if FD agrees.  Although I think Oceanz might already be the mod....not sure.

Just out of curiousity - what's so concerning about someone who volunteers for such a job?

When you volunteer, from what I have read from you, there is nothing to be concerned about, and I think you are being genuine in wanting to help, but generally if someone says something like 'the ones with limited power need oversight, I'll do it', it can throw you a bit.

I don't think FD will go for this though. Will it be like an arbitration court where both parties have to agree to the ruling for it to be binding?
