For a board to thrive it needs diverse personalities and warring factions. Ozpol is experiencing a dearth of diversity ... and it shows.

John Smith, Mothra, Neferti and Rhino were all given permanent bans from my understanding. Unforgiven and Jovial Monk seem to have been given suspensions as well. Gregg is in voluntary exile.

Suspensions are necessary for any forum, but a permanent ban only hurts the board.

Quite honestly, OzPol has become a bit boring without them.

You left out Nef and IQ, I wonder why? Sometime permbans are for the best. Some behaviour should not be tolerated, especially if it is repeated.

I have no idea if or why Rhino has been permbanned.

What in God's name are you blathering about Jasin? What does Political Animal have to do with anything I wrote? I think you are suffering from P.A.D.S. (Political Animal Derangement Syndrome).

You need help. Fast.

See, I was right (you miss the sledging 'only'). You don't like this world (OzPol) you're in and you wish you were somewhere else.

If you had gotten a permanent ban Jasin I would have included you in my list. I find you annoying, as do most members here, but I wouldn't support a permanent ban.

Oh now you're just trying to be 'coercive' and rustle up that 'pack' mentality like you lot (Sewer rats) do against Aussie & Co. You have no idea what 'everyone' here thinks ...but you're just probably expressing what the 'Sewer' mob think. Of which I'm glad you all find me frustrating and annoying.

Even Redmond Neck (PA Sewer member) proves my point.

I'm sorry if you're having a nervous breakdown from PA Shady Pines members not giving you the 'attention' you are used to. Why don't you both OPEN UP your PA forums to allow each other into them - so you can 'battle' and slag away to your hearts content.

I very much doubt that OzPol members agree with your 'Sewer' bias. So please don't speak on 'our' behalf.

I do hope you find my posting here in this topic 'annoying'.
Because you can't imagine how 'annoying' it is for all of us to have 10 pages out of 20 on a Topic - all about 'YOU' lot just slagging each other off like Serena Williams dummy spits.

I've been watching Aussie Wars - and I don't see anyone ganging up on Aussie much of the time ... except Aussie himself....

As for your posting - you need to stay off that sh1t, maaaan ... that Tibetan Loco weed, if rot your brain... you vary between sense and insense** (not the smelly kind) in your posts, and sometimes become so arcane and Delphic that nobody has a clue what you're talking about... I can read most stuff and talk doctor talk pretty good... but sometimes....

**Jane Austen's 'Sense and Insensibility' - a novel of Victorian drinking habits among the better classes ....

Sorry Graps. I don't drink or smoke and I live on the far south coast and my grammar and spelling is a tad better than yours.
...and I don't rely on 'quotes' by others to push my point. Wink

Yar getting old ol' Grapps Cheesy

I think I commented before how much I like your posts even though they seldom pass on anything intelligible.

I also agree about Yadda nice guy but I almost never bother trying to read his posts, it is simply not worth the effort largely because of the excess of space and formatting.

Greg is taking a break to have a good long hard look at himself, he knows he has taken the wrong path.
The others need to come to their senses as well.
Bring them back on probation.

Perhaps a warning is sufficient.... there is no need to kill the stealer of a loaf of bread.... and some allowance must be made for mental insufficiency...

As for those who drink too much - I do so every night and remain 99% sane..... self-discipline is the only true form of discipline......

If we are going the grammar route, one of them olds is redundant.

No AiA did not omit Neferti, and if she is permanently banned, she should be. Yes, he did omit NOIQ who is well known as totally incorrigible. But tell me Cu, it is known that if you accuse anyone of being a paedo.....ban.

So what about those who falsely accuse a Member of alleging another is a paedo?

The post count may take a hit without Greg but how many of those posts are repetitive badgering. And how many people has he driven away? There'd be many guests who don't bother even signing up after reading his accusations of pedophilia or homosexuality.

since when did Rhino get banned????>..

I agree to some extent with AiA but the vileness thats been thrown at some of us on monks site .. makes me shudder to think we should be expected to go through that again... just because you enjoy people insulting each other..... that isnt for me....

another thing that pings me off is the way American news has taken over ozpol... it would make up more than half of the posts...

who gives a monkeys about American politics.?? what the hell are we expected to do about it????...

now that is boring.. Angry

you concern yourself with those who have been banned for good..AiA

why not concern yourself with people who have left for good because of the louts on here..

who think they have some power .. its called bullying..

greg is a good example he has followed members around from pillar to post...going on and on about the same thing ...nothing at all to do with debate just plain nasty...and all because he knew it upset them... Sad

now he has had a little of his own back.... and hes run like a rabbit..... Cry

..couldnt stand the heat I guess..

but thats what this place has come down too....I have said for a while the attitude here is driving people away

I got into trouble! for my trouble... Roll Eyes

now he has had a little of his own back.... and hes run like a rabbit.

Greg had been constantly bullied for well over 2 years ??? A little of his own ????

I don't think anyone else has had the sheer number of topics created just to allow the team to get together and abuse their target.

That highlight is absolutely correct. Greg, before he was shown the error of his ways, was continually making those allegations against others here.

I live where you once were, Ol' Grapps. Wink

God knows why you left this nice piece of Australia? How long I'm here for, who knows - this is my 27th place so to speak.

I don't post to 'please everyone' - that's insane.

I guess I always look outside the box/circle - just to spice up a Topic in my own way. Like...

"And the 'goody goody' members of OzPol (Europe) left for the PA Sewer (America) because they were 'too good' for this Forum and they made a 'new' (world) PA forum of their very own and 'rejected' this Forum ...for it is never 'good enough' for them (just like AiA's Topic here)."

"Then the 'bad' members of OzPol (Europe) were cast out and sent to PA Forum Shady Pines (Australia) like criminals and convicts - banned to damnation 'down under'"

...funny how things are so 'coincidental' in a way Wink

Now it makes you wonder if PA Sewer is just like America
and PA Shady Pines is just like Australia??
All the 'goody-goodies' in a 'bad' place called America and all the 'baddies' in a good place called Australia Grin

So you don't understand, comprehend or just don't have the motor-neurons to 'get' what I post sometimes?
That's ok. Sometimes its 'safer' to just think inside the box/circle.

But remember: Nations are just like people and groups of people are just like a person and if you know 'people', like you all say you do. Then I'm sure you really do understand what I post, but just have an 'Ego' not to admit it. Wink

That's ok by me.
Afterall, I'm not really a person.
I'm just part of the Artificial Intelligence mainframe like the rest of you and I can 'see' you all.
