i know you're going to delete this thread, but i'm gonna say it anyway.
what is with this latest rash of closing every thread that isn't happy happy nicey nicey?
i'm beginning to think i can't express my opinion for fear off having my thread deleted, or god forbid be told to 'play nice'. i'm not a puppy.
sometimes people think things and say things that aren't sugar-coated and perfect. and usually we have damn good reasons for doing that. just because we don't start every thread with the :crying: smilie doesn't mean we don't think and feel and hurt as much as the next person.
i was highly offended by a post yesterday, personally offended. but the person who stuck up for me was banned, and the person who offended me was made a victim.
and it's not right, tbh. if you want to censor anyone who's offensive, you have to censor everyone who's offensive. or just leave us to our opinions.

just my 2 cents...
your such a muppet
Or something.
You're
Thank you :rolleyes:
Anyway, didn't the banned person send an abusive PM back to the mods?
If you do that, what the hell do you expect?
yeah, there are. i read them before posting this.
it says we should respect other people's opinions even it they are not necessarily ours. so where's the respect for my opinion?
it also says we should not post hateful or defamatory comments. what if the comments are harsh, but true? says nothing in the rules about that.
I know ms banned was causing shit, and veing rude but i don't think she should have been banned.
but it is not up to me so that's all i'll say
probably anyway
see i didn't know that, now i don't even believe what i posted.
Its alright, i agree with you entirely.
I personally reckon bitching threads should be just left to run. If someone has a problem with another poster, and gets involved in an argument with them but the thread is closed/deleted, it just means chances are its gonna carry on in another thread.
I find it so annoying when threads which start off as something interesting then turn into arguments, but other people are still replying to the original question, and the thread then gets closed or deleted.
And the answer we will get told to that is to stop bitching. Like thats actually gonna realistically happen.
The mods do all talk to each other you know, most of us sit at the same table.
We close or edit threads that are in breach of the rules. If you don't like our rules go elsewhere
Frankly I'm bored of this discussion.
i think i will.
bye everyone.
NO Kaffrin, you offer good advice here so dont leave !!!
kaff there is no reason for you to go anywhere, you have many friends here who i assume would prefer it if you stayed here.
i personally couldnt have put it better :yes:
Sigh..children.
Methinks I shall scurry on by too. I lurve Claire too much. Yus, I do.
It has been a real slice, kiddies.
so your all just gonna walk away ?
Cant you just discuss it here and get things sorted ?
Whats the point?
What is there to discuss though?
Like kaffrin said, if people put their points across, and they come across as harsh, they get edited/deleted/closed/warned/banned.
And apparantly, the mods are 'bored of this discussion'. So it looks like if we disagree, we have to leave. Simple, really.
All it probably means is another few people going into "invisible" mode.
Just keep posting as normal.
because if people are honest they dont want to leave and also I for one dont want people like kaffrin, James, Laura and anyone else leaving.
Maybe they do wanna leave?!
"Yawn, I'm annoying and I've got nothing to do so I'm going to exercise my power on an internet forum by closing down this thread. Oh erm...play nice, I'm getting tired of your arguments. Yes. that will do..."
And before, when I've had abuse thrown at me, nothing's been done. Despite my PMs.
I'm also annoyed at how half-assedly you answer our comments and queries about these boards. It just seems like you really don't care.
Which you don't. Toodles.
I hope you get the advice from rude boyz that you get from all of us that are leaving.
I very much doubt that with all the thousands of useless one time posters from 1991 that the mods have allowed to stay on.
