Should this board be better moderated? Options

[GMR]

Prescott and one of his staff? John Major v Edwina Curry?

We could go further back to Lloyd George who also had affairs as well. That could be construed as passionate politics as well.

I agree with what Lordup and Sarah have said.

But do you agree with what Iommi has said?

And can you stop posting in that naff font?

In fact, can the board be set to remove font html?

Why... what did Iommi say?

First of all I don't think it is a naff font and secondly I didn't decide it.... and I can't be bothered in trying to put it back to another font... more so when I quite like it.

it seems sometimes when I write it comes out one way, and then other times it comes out differently... maybe there is gremlins in these boards?

[Iommi]

GMR, your font usage is deliberate so don't lie, just like your apology was a lie.

[Biker1]

If you just stick to the debate and avoid personal insults and comments and bad language then I don't see a problem.

Unfortunately this is not always the case on this forum.

Comments such as "that is a silly argument" or "that is a load of b******s" which I have experienced are not constructive and to not add to the debate.

Oh look I can change the font!!!

I am not lying... and my apologies, unlike yours, are always truthful.

As for the font; occasionally I write on word and transfer it over and there is were the problem lies; it is not deliberate.

I agree about the bad language/ emotive language; sadly that is the way their parents brought them up; they know no different.

That's right, that's why you are pillock.

In answer to the question "Should this board be better moderated?" I have now come the conclusion YES!

I do in word sometimes doesn't do it to my posts.

You 'apologies' would come across more genuine and sincere if they weren't formatted like this...

If Iommi wishes an apology to help move things along I am quite happy to do so; I apologise. No evil intent was intended in my replies.

So you are only apologising because you think I want it, thus wasn't sponsored by a desire to do so. It was also clearly designed to make you appear in a better light, but for me, it just showed you up for who you are.

What I have learnt about boards... is what upsets one probably delights another (in other words what is one man’s meat, is another man’s poison).

In other words, 'I don't see a problem'.

[Iommi]

In answer to the question "Should this board be better moderated?" I have now come the conclusion YES!

Biker1, anyone that deliberately brings parents into an argument knowing that it is inflammatory will 'get some abuse', as he did in the post that inspired my 'pillock' comment.

GMRs method of being obscene is simply less direct than mine, but no less vulgar. I will not bring his family into any of my posts that is vile behaviour, more than any common colloquial that I might use to describe him. Any disrespect I show to GMR will be direct, I will not stoop so low as to involve his family in this.

But this is his style all over, making 'jokes' about animal cruelty and child abuse, as he has done in the past, seems to be his style, perhaps he can't help himself for 'he know not what he does'.

Call me any name you like and it wouldn't bother me in the slightest, they are merely words and I am secure in my own self esteem not to care. GMR has a different approach.

[GMR]

That's right, that's why you are pillock.

So you agree with me and then use such language to prove my point. Is that the only contribution you can add to this debate? By showing your pedigree.

[GMR]

In answer to the question "Should this board be better moderated?" I have now come the conclusion YES!

To be honest that is all some are capable of. So in this respect they should be better moderated to stop such abusive behaviour.

[Iommi]

You are equally abusive, only in a different way, but it is just as vulgar.

That is exactly what I mean. For give my rudeness for I can't help it.

you don't see a problem with your language, but others do.

Twisting what I say doesn't also help matters.

[Iommi]

As you have just done yourself here.

I didn't make jokes about animal cruelty.... and as for parents; even you have agreed that some of our problems on our streets are through a lack of good parenting... the same applies to these boards; that is the only point I was making.

I haven't twisted anything.

I'll let others judge your behaviour (and mine)... but I am not going to take these boards where you wish to take them.

It wasn't the only point you were trying to make, you were trying to bate me and you got what you wanted. You wanted me to go off on one; to say any different, would further prove you are a fibber.

I had poor parentage (although I have never been in trouble with the police and was on good speaking terms with all my tutors, headmasters and mistresses and remain so), so you can expect some robust language, especially if you bring my parents into this.

I'll let others judge your behaviour (and mine)... but I am not going to take these boards where you wish to take them.

My behaviour, in parts, is unacceptable and I realise this, but you singularly bring the worst out of me. For me, you wreck this board. When I see you have commented, I think, 'Oh no, what banal comment as he posted now'.
