Okay....but why did you ignore the abuse contained in that post of last evening.  Is it not personal abuse?

As for freediver's restrictions on the GMs......don't you reckon the Members ought to know of them so that we Members do not easily lose respect for the GMs who seem to be either inconsistent (St George has now been banned for four days for referring to someone as an 'idiot'.....yet I can be freely abused as 'Lawyer's bootlace' and 'brain dead') or totally ignorant of the Rules.  Is skippy's signature still an external link in blatant breach of the Rules?

(Edit:  Indeed it is.....I've just checked.  The external link is still his signature.  Were you unaware of that?)

Comment's like THAT might be the reason someone may be called 'idiot'...Don't you think??

quite the tattle tale arent you. It seems your first response when you see a post you dont like is to go squealing to the moderators.

This is why i doubt your legal credentials,

lawyers are normally good talkers and debaters but you dont, you dont debate anything.

You whinge, all the time.

You have no idea what my first response is, and you also have no idea of the context.  You may not have noticed that I do not personally abuse or insult in my Posts, and I have the entirely reasonable expectation that I will be treated the same way.  There is, as AA pointed out, a simple way to avoid GM adverse attention ~ comply with the Rule concerning personal abuse

I am totally unconcerned what you doubt.  You simply don't know, like I do.

I do not participate here as a Lawyer.  I do not come here to debate.  I prefer discussing facts and may occasionally express an opinion, as you may have noticed.

That says it all Ian.  One gross exaggeration too far.

but dont pretend you havent put me down when its suited you...of course its always been in a polite fashion...but it doesnt take away from the insult all the same.

Superb post. My old English teacher would have a field day.

She must be dumb she had you.
