"NewsFix is a place to discuss a wide variety of current events topics. Courteous conversation is strongly encouraged, and this is not a place to carry over rivalries from other forums. Let's leave the past in the past."

Let's do that, huh? This site is fun for a lot of people and shouldn't be bogged down in scuffles that have been carried over from other forums. Everyone should get the chance to be judged here by what they post here. I'm asking nicely.

by Ben Reilly Sat Dec 21, 2013 6:46 pm

I just sent this to an individual poster, but I thought it might be helpful here as well:

"I don't want to see people slammed over stuff they allegedly said in other forums, nor do I want to see NewsFix become dominated by squabbling carried over from other forums."

I quite agree Ben, and the constant hounding of posters has actually put me off from posting on your otherwise good forum.

by Ben Reilly Sat Dec 21, 2013 6:57 pm

I understand it can be tough not to bring past knowledge into present discussions, but I'm asking that if you're attacking what somebody said here, keep it to what they say here, not what's been said on other forums. Because either people will start acting the way they did on those old forums and provide plenty of new targets for criticism, or they'll play nicer Smile

I feel sorry for you Ben. There's no chance Sassy will let old grievances die. I've just noticed on the thread about Canada and prostitution she's immediately attacked an Irish poster and made derogatory and insulting remarks about all Irish people - and then has the utter hypocrisy to attack right-wingers for racism and bigotry!! She'll finish this forum off for you given an inch... don't say you weren't warned. Now I really am going. Good luck for the future. You'll need it.

I said Ireland had a problem with regard to openess about sex, hence it letting a woman die rather then give her an abortion, and hence the Magdelene Launderies still going on in the 1990s. Both completely true.

You are the one that is blinded by hate or do you lack the intelligence to see that!

To refer to a males name in the female tense is highly offensive.

kakashit is extremely homophobic and i don't think homophobia should be encouraged.

He knows how to wind you up though. When he is abusive pm the admins and let them sort it out. This is my advise but its up to you of course.

Oh give it a rest Phil, from the minute members of Dean's site joined here, you have been nothing but abusive to some of them, with no provocation from them. One only needs to look through your post history. It would seem it is ok for you to dish out abusive, but not others.

actually it`s not
it`s a opinion

i don`t agree with a lot of the Rw views
but i don`t think repeatedly calling some one racist ,homophobes is helpful or warranted or necessary

Why do you think he refers to my name in the female tense, that is obvious homophobia because he knows that i'm gay so that's not an opinion that is a fact.

You've been banned from just about every forum you've joined, for your abuse to others.

I haven't been banned from every forum i've joined and my partner and i have suffered some of the worst abuse ever seen on forums as has already been pointed out on here.

There would be no need to respond in kind if racist or homophobic comments were dealt with.

you deal with racist or homophobic comments with debate and considered responses not by flinging back more abuse or more name calling
that`s just daft you give them ammo every time you respond in kind

the best way i have found to deal with such people is ether ignore them or use humour instead of abuse
making people laugh at "there" expense is far more effective that name calling and abuse will ever be
