Aussie once got me to delete this photo which was on Ozpolitic's list of forum attachments:

http://www.ozpolitic.com/album/forum-attachments/Pretty_girl.jpg

Aussie can find offense even with a girl sitting on a couch fully clothed.

I've asked you to delete it as it represents the thin end of the wedge, which can only lead to an outbreak of childish oneupmanship, which will inevitably end in grief.

So, Bobby.....??

So you have now changed your name to Mod?

You can delete if you're the Moderator.

That's a lovely pic.

I can't see how anybody could be offended by a picture of a fully clothed woman.

Actually, I take that back:

No....I was always Mod. in this Board. Someone asked if Mod was Aussie so I was not about to lie or deceive. I'll gratefully take your offer. *I will now put my Mod garb on and do that, Bobby.*

Exactly what did I say/do to be restricted?

This Thread has been moved to here by FD even though it contains posts by a Member whom I have asked not post here. So, obviously, I will take no action about that. But ~ that Member knows not to post here any further. Alternatively, they might PM me and assure me they will leave their baggage from some other place at the door, and I'll be quite content for them to post away here. Aussie/Mod.

I guess that is directed at me. Unfortunately Aussie in your eagerness to censor me you put the cart before the horse and I had been censored, posts deleted, tou made certain accusations then denied me to ability to respond and told not to post on your forum BEFORE you gave me this warning by PM.

You didnt even follow the procedure you yourself PMed me. And you never did explain what rules on topic and non insulting posts broke.

For your edification Aussie,

Quote:

FD's Rules:

Quote:
For board moderators:

1) Warn the member via PM and then publicly that they are breaking the rules.

2) If they persist in being disruptive, send them a PM notifying them that they are banned from the board. Include a link to this post so that they are aware of the ban and my expectations of them under this procedure. CC a copy of this PM to me. At this stage the member is expected to voluntarily refrain from using the board.

3) If they continue to post, advise them publicly that they are banned, or refer them to their PM from you if you want to be more subtle. This is in case they don't read their PMs.

4) If they continue to post, PM me with a link to their public warning and where they posted afterwards, and quotes. I will put in an appropriate ban at that stage. This could be a ban from the board, from the section or from the entire forum.

Please consider yourself at Stage 1.

But I would still vote for you as Mod Aussie. Your antics bemuse me.

You are the mod for Extremism exposed forum? are you not?

No, I'm not. I am Moderator here and at the PUP Board.

Can we get the PUP Board in sync with reality.

Nobody other than the Moderator allowed to post any opinions, nobody else most definitely has the right to vote on an opinion and that the board needs renaming after the Moderator?

[quote]Was posting deliberately offensive caricatures the only way to make that point do you think? Isnt the point of this forum about debate?

It inspired debate did it not? I find many things offensive but I dont seek to censor discussion of them nor do I seek to censor other posters because I disagree with them or dont like them.

And you need to understand somepeople deliberately seek offence and to be offended precisely so that they can censor...or in other instances be a back seat mod and further an agenda of destabilisation.

Nobody censored discussion at all, the images portrayed children in a sexual context which was and is offensive to any reasonable person in my opinion and also illegal. Also, the images were posted in order to deliberately offend, there was no censorship of discussion. It is not neccasary to post images which many people would find offensive in order to further debate, thats why we have the English language.

Oh no, this is not a representation of any culture, lets pretend anyway

How do you know that isn't his daughter? If you automatically jump to the assumption it is not and she is a victim, is it not you who has a problem?

so, it's ok to offend in English?
I can find a lot of offense in what has been said on this forum, why should this be accepted? Words can damage just as much, if not more
