And Thorin Listen to Jules
for god sake do i have to but you in time out for longer next time
You are but a poster not a missionary here to preach the 'thoughts of thorin' as gospel

Well as seen I have placed a complaint against you over the fact I broke no rules and will await Bens decision on the matter. So I suggest you await bens decision also and stop continuing to make threats at me, that have no bases other than your dislike of me.

I have done the decent thing to take it off the forum, i suggest you do the same

I would rather interact with a poster like that than one who deliberately tries to provoke by throwing in snide personal insults and lies in order to get a reaction.

Do you mean because he does not agree with you?

That's a serious observation, by the way. For a moderator with disciplinary powers on a forum which is clearly biassed towards adversarial political debate, you might at least try to balance your overly, as well as overtly, judgemental attitude a tad.

No it is your treating this forum like a Blog for you opinion ( i suggest if you want to pontificate like you do to start a blog of your own)
YOU are not accepting other opinions are equally allowed to be expressed. You Do not get the last word, every question is NOT directed at you and you are not the focus of everyone's debate... Feed wants to debate Quill, Jules wants to Debate Syl, not everyone wants there debates interrupted by the same poster posting the same monolithic opinion all day every day in every thread.

You previous prem-a-ban was lifted based on You promising NOT to act like you are

And how many times have you whined to ben and how many times has he okay'd my actions?
I am a moderator for PRECISELY this reason, i am wiling to be the pointy end of the moderator team
I will act as i see best for this forum and always for this forum.

But the bottom line is we all have our likes and dislikes on a forum, and wouldn't forums be boring if there were no clashes of opinion?

Remember when I said you mention the left all the time and you denied it?
Yet your very first post after you're back contains a disparaging mention of  "the left" .....TWICE!


QED my friend!

QED!!!

I am truly amazed that mentioning the Left in discussions on such an overtly politically partisan forum can be regarded as being derogatory.

Its not up to you yo say who I can or cannot debate. Nor can you do so with any other posters. To say i cannot is protecting them from opposing views and goes right against free speech.

Seriously I know for a fact the other mods thought you were out of order banning me

I am doing nothing nothing wrong and your admittance to say you would ban head given half the chance shows you are incapable of being impartial.

I have every faith in Ben to see my side here and why you were out of order.

You need to get over your bitter hate for people, as that is what is ruining the forum.

On that, I said i will keep this off the forum and allow Ben to decide.

I have said my peace on the matter

No, because he doesn't want a forum war. I say genocide the Flappers

I have not banned tommy or nicko not matter how vibrantly we disagree, because they merely add colour to the forum not try and paint it all one colour as SOME people do.

I recall someone else saying that of the Jews. It wasn't funny then and it isn't funny now.

Perhaps if all those loathed "Flappers", myself included, deleted our accounts you would be more content.

He is not, which is why he got a 2 day ban, I could just have easily deleted his account.

But if he feels the need to flood every thread with his passion (cause it is just about every single thread) never accepting that others want to discuss a different aspect than the his tiny spectrum on which he has based his opinion on THAT becomes a major problem. If he wants a Blog he can start a blog but this is not the Thorin show. he needs to respect that he doesn't have the exclusive Right to lead the directions of discussions

The thing is, if people don't want to debate with another poster they can just ignore them.

If Thor isn't being ignored it must mean people either want to debate with him or they want to encourage him to argue.

It was funny a while ago when he was confined to the basement....the basement was never busier.

the basement thing is testament to why he was banned and not basemented, he doesn't respect the rules even when basemented he keep posting stories rather than just taking a break (as was the intention of the basement) , and people do ignore him but he answer their every post anyway and derails and debate there was previously.

read back through many threads you see 2 other people talking and then their is a reem of posts from Thorin answer each of their posts as if they were to him.

I pointed out to him that he mentions ''left'' a lot, in an almost compulsively repetitive, CRITICISING way. I have even seen him make a list of lefties with my name on it, which amused me    cos I don't post that much on politics, and the few times I do, it's usually about Trump, hardly about UK politics.

FM, don't EVER try to portray me as an unreasonable person, cos it won't wash. The people who know me know that I am most reasonable, in that I always consider both sides of an argument before I speak.  PLUS I think before I speak.

I might also add that I was extremely polite to him when this dialogue started, which was in another thread. I made my point to him in a tactful and diplomatic way.

He does do that, and where it may bother some people I don't think it bothers others.

I never mind if I am having a one to one and someone else joins in to give a different perspective, I can see that others would consider it an intrusion, but nothing is really private on a forum anyway....so unless someone barges in to cause trouble I don't see the harm.

Though when BD used to do this it really got on my nerves, but he rarely made sense anyway, so it was different.

If you are truly the unbiased person you always insist you are,  ........then maybe you could also address the fact that when I replied to Quill's harmless JOKE about adoption Thorin went all bunny-boiler psycho on us. All hell broke loose over absolutely NOTHING.

Such an extreme OTT reaction towards two people bantering harmlessly, was a disgrace!

Not you Syl, that is what veya is saying i cannot do. I was being sarcastic to Quill on this, that only I have been singled out to say I cannot join a debate where two people have been debating.

there is a difference between adding a post to a debate, and responding to every post in a debate

when you come in a post 6 in a row going through all the previous posts it completely destroys the flow of a thread.
you can post your view without trying to suffocate everyone else's views

Bunny boiler, so degrading to other women now we can add to the list of your many faults

I am not angry and nor annoyed, I am simple pulling you up for lying and the point is, you simply cannot take criticism. I never reacted to your views on my passions, did I, yet you react when i pull you up on a false claim you made, which you then even worse tried to backtrack on.

At least I admit my faults

So go and have a sulk for all i care, all can see you did lie and even worse acted immature on another thread where I simply gave a point of view

Take some advice, learn to have broad shoulders and grow up
