This is utterly illogical....

We Shall Be Blessed...

Then....

Happy thread

How is the above post in any way compatible with what Dave said?

And then I get infraction points and warned for reporting the post, with this...

That isn't an example of trolling. He's making a perfectly valid point - no-one cares about you moving to Poland.

How on earth is it a valid point to say that "this thread is shit" and to be insulting towards someone, when the staff position was that such nonsense was to stop?

A bit of consistency wouldn't go amiss here....it would be nice to post in an environment where people merely debated things and used reason rather than insults to make their points.

There's just no need for abuse :/

Dude, you just can't win at the internets. It's a bit like nuclear war.

Maybe because in the WSBB thread you were trolling, and in the happy thread, Teabags was stating the obvious?

Are you being serious? Do you honestly not know why you receive so much abuse on this web site? (which we do deal with every time by the way, taking up plenty of our valuable time)

You're seriously testing my patience.

Man that would have been way better if everyone just ignored that thread there!

Fascinating, have you actually read that forum? It's basically a nice little cover for BNP-supporting types to preach about "free speech" while forgetting about their responsibilities under it.

Neil, I'm not looking for an argument over this - I'm simply utterly confused by why it's not acceptable to report a post that contained yet more personal attacks - especially given that it would've been just as easy to reply with abuse back.

Can you really not see that dear Teabags has a real and scary obsession with me to the point where he can't stop himself? I can take as good as I get, but where he's concerned, I've done my best for months to ignore his constant self-appointed moral crusade, yet he's still allowed to keep on making these attacks. It's completely and utterly illogical - you say they're dealt with, yet he's still posting them time after time.

How many people are put off posting here because they're afraid of getting their opinion flamed, particularly if it doesn't conform to what the forum collectively thinks? I'm not talking in a Stripey "You're all fucking morons for listening to rock" way, but more someone that might have something constructive to say.

Attack the opinion, not the person

nah, it was just the first one that came up when i typed debating forums into google.

[Teabags]

How was it a personal attack? Im simply stating my dislike for the topic. And the fact that nobody cares about you moving to Poland. Which they don't.

I hardly said "You're a cunt" now did I?

Your post in the WSBB topic was clearly made to start some sort of flame war. I was simply stating a fact. One which alot of epople, including a moderator, seem to agree with.

Cloud, you do know there is an ignore function, right?
