Of course your opinions are welcome Anita, dont get all narky with me. All i'm saying is if you see something out of order, tell us and it will be dealt with.
It happened just yesterday with a poster.

As you know, full well, loads of posters complained about Ryan. He was out of order to me a few times, I didn't bother running to any of the mods about it. Why should I need to? You're on the forum, you can see what goes on. It shouldn't need someone to point it out.

Yeah and Ryan got banned for dolling about abuse. I dont really see you're point there?
If i see someone getting abuse where it isnt warranted i would do something about it. But i read very few threads, and as such rely on people to inform me/us about percieved abuse. That said if we are talking about a poster...lets say coming out with something blatantly rascist or homophobic or mysogynistic and being battered and abused for it, i wouldnt bother as it'll recieve little attention.

But xenophobia is okay?
And I'm sure you are intelligent enough to see the point if you wanted to.
But if not, as you were.

Ok i've tried to talk sensibly with you, but your snide comments are pissing me off. I dont know what the fuck i have done to offend you other than NOT ban Brendan, but if you cant talk rationally without the sarcasm, then i dont know why im fucking bothering.

Huh?

I have a dictionary and am fully aware of what the word means, thank you. And I haven't asked for anyone to be banned.
But your stance is very clear. Thank you.

What? I havnt made any stance! I am trying to have a rational conversation with you, without the paranoia and playground histrionics. You seem determined to try and pidgeon hole me into a position or standpoint you wish me to take or be in, and that isnt fair!
I am certain you do know what xenophobia means, but i am not so certain its what you mean in relation to the context of this thread? I havnt seen any xenophobia (although i may well have missed it).
For your information, there are ELEVEN threads on page one of general chat i havnt even looked in, because i highlighted the title and it didnt appeal to me. Now if i had to guess where i might find contention, it would be this thread and the one titled 'Terrorism is un-Islamic, say Muslim scholars in India' but having not read that thread i wouldnt know for sure, and as such would rely on posters to tell me if they saw something offensive.
You have already stated that you dont want to do that, and thats fine, but surely (like the voting issue that i know we both agree on) if you arent willing to do anything about it, you shouldnt bother having a say. Cos what it sounds like to me is that you want to be unhappy and moan about it, but not make any of the tough decisions in the process. Well whooppeee. We'll be the bad guys that no one thanks then, but we cant be expected to see everything posted can we?
I hate these broad ranging critiscisms with no real foundation. If you have an issue raise it and it will be dealt with.
I cant be any more open than that can I?
