Bobby is extremely tolerant. If someone continuously disrupted threads to call me a lesbian, I would have had something done about it a long time ago. He's made 30,000 posts in 2 years, the majority of them insulting and he's only just being noticed.

As Lionel pointed out - in this thread alone he's insulted just about every poster who's disagreed with him. These are just a few examples.

No-one deserves this crap.

Are you suggesting that there's something wrong with being a homosexual?

I don't think too many people care whether anyone is actually gay or not, but if you're not gay and a heterosexual female or male, you don't want to be continually accused publicly of being a homosexual. If Bobby wanted to get nasty - he could report it to someone outside of this board. Some of you people can't recognise when another member has had enough of your harassment.

Please ~ No more pm's from you. You've been a serial pm'er to me to the point of making a pest of yourself.

There's a People's Revolution going on here ... a Popular Uprising with pikes and hay-forks carried aloft as the irate rowdy mob moves through the cobbled streets towards Freediver's office next to the Fishmonger's shop...

"Behead those who insult our intelligence!" scream the mob as FD stops battering his illegal catch to poke his head out the window to see what all the noise is about.

And yes, there in a swaying tumbrel in the midst of the approaching crowd is none other than Greg, John Smith, Aussie - and sundry others too numerous to mention ...

Given the time and energy you people have devoted to this thread and fighting on the internet in general, it would appear your life troubles are few. You should probably take some time out to be thankful for that.

I thought about closing the thread, but will leave it for now. Please keep in mind that Freediver must read all of the posts in Feedback in order to continue the smooth running of the board. It's not a place for complaints about other members.

I can't do this, but I'm doing it anyway.

There have always been complaints about members here. Feedback is not the place to complain about moderators. If you don't like the thread - then move it to Relationships which your predecessors have always done.

What about accusing gay people of being straight: is that insulting/offensive?

What do you mean by that, exactly?

The complaints counter at Woolworths ? They tend to take a keen interest is material like this.

The whole point of this Feedback thread and the others is to alert FD as to where there may be a problem militating against "the smooth running of this board".

Threatening to shut down this thread is both counter-productive and contradictory to the whole idea of there being a Feedback forum in the first place.

Annie Anthrax wrote on Nov 23^rd, 2014 at 8:11am:

It's not a place for complaints about other members.

It's a Feedback forum for the information of the management and moderators here, as well as an 'Open Letter' Wake Up call to those who ignore the complaints of members within the normal threads.

Your thinking of closing the thread has thrown me for a loop.

It's healthy that people are saying their piece here, instead of in one-liners all over the board for weeks and months on end.
