Remember it takes two to have a flame war, only banning one, because they are winning isn't really fair.

I agree. Where is your evidence to support the assertion that only one is banned? In an obvious flame war, we usually suspend any/all participants.

Given that we don't publicise suspensions, do you send PMs to the others asking "hey, were you suspended too?" I seriously doubt it.

If we publicised it, it would only add fuel to the fire.

The sh1t thing is that I usually get reported by some clown (spot, booby, grey, etc) I haven't even interacted with, so there is no context to the final post that gets me banned.

Ill take my hits, but until the rules are across the board, I won't be too supportive of the process.

How is it a "flame war" if the ppl that report you arent even participating? methinks you protest too much. Perhaps you should stop being overly abusive?

Two sentences separated by another sentences are usually considered as two separate sentence and are not to be read as one concurrent sentence. Well they did when I did primary school english.

You are right I do abuse the incredibly stupid on the board; but you have to admit you people really deserve it sometimes. I mean you seriously can't believe being intellectually sub-standard deserves any respect and consideration.

BTW, you may be considered sub standard even if you paraphrase shakespear to try and sound intellegent. Me thinks you try too hard. Grin

Typing, no

Reading, comprehension and diction, most definitely

See pointed out that you are wrong yet again all without being a troll'.

Your vast limitations irritates people who have to constantly correct you, wasting time and patience; don't be surprised when they fly off the handle at you.

You, nails and spot think anyone who proves your posts are poorly researched and dimwitted is a troll.

A troll is someone willing and callously demean people try to show their respects on a post for the remembrance of a dead Australian soldier, wouldn't you agree?

Takes a certain type of scumbag to use a sad situation like that just to try and flame some one into an argument.

Would you like me to hyper link where you did that or you just going to accept that you, like pansi, are a nasty piece of work. Angry

Calm down BigOl.

Take a chill pill - you're way over the top.

You mightn't even realise it Spot - but your troll poll is very abusive and offensive.

You've put up an open poll where even viewers and non-members can participate and click on a member's nick as many times as they please. The only justification you have for it is a vendetta against those people who have disagreed with you.

When you don't like the numbers against you - you flip it around so someone else is at the top of the list. That is serious passive aggressive abuse against selected members.

Not quite as bad as your post, but you see where Im getting at, take a look at your posts before you even comment on mine pal, you are not as snow white as your protests make out.

Next time you decide to set me up for a banning, I won't let your comments slide either. so be careful what you say from now on.

Personal insults are barred under the rules.

We were recently warned.

Yet nothing seems to have happened. The insulters continue.

A few were singled out for banning but others who started with the insults stayed.

The rules do not apply to everyone and never have.

If you see something, report it. Usually if there is a flame war going on, all participants get "due attention".

Yeah, being abused by nails and the like is no biggie, being reported for doing no more or less than anyone else and watching them continue while I sit on the sidelines is a bit annoying.

The sh1t thing is that I usually get reported by some clown (spot, booby, grey, etc) I haven't even interacted with, so there is no context to the final post that gets me banned.

and 100% of the time you light the flame Wink

remember that you were voted worst troll 2nd only to Quantum and you still wonder why Cheesy

LOL

Just look at the last 25 posts of Quantum & BigOl64.

Anyone had a look?
It's amazing that they can get away with it.

Your last 25 posts at that time were full of shocking swear words
& insults - not directed at me but everyone else.
There have to be some limits.

Yeah well my limit is where you demean my military service just to get me into an argument on the death page of an Aussie soldier.

As far as insult go I presume you are going to hold nail and yourself to these same standards, because I will

I have never had a problem with sh1t you people write in the past, if I didn't like it, I made sure you were well aware of my feelings and yes adults sometimes use swear words.

But new set of rules, just make sure you are happy with the way the game is played now.
