ah fair do's
looks like a self imposed perma ban then
No
I was banned by Milo for a day when another poster told me to fudge off and stop posting because I was hounded all day long by Leeds who was looking for a fight. I responded by telling him "why don't you fudge off" and was banned for a day.
I had previously been told to stop commenting on Arcspaces posts, and in a discussion with another poster I made a comment that anyone who quoted arcspace would gain little sympathy from me - due to the lack of regard I had for the quality or quantity of his posts. I was given the opportunity to explain why I contiunued to comment on his posts, and I was unrepentant due to the fact that he has me on ignore, so doesn't read them, and because the number of my posts about him are such a tiny amount (I estimated less than 1% of his total posts) that I felt that it could hardly be considered that I was bullying him (which I was accused of) or conducting a campaign against him.
I was then banned for a week, no warning, no explanation - I simply tried to log on and was faced with a notice that said that I was banned and that the banned would be lifted - never.
This was why I posted on GG facebook, I wasn't attention seeking or using it as an alternative vehicle to attack the moderation on the board, as they will attest I do it to them directly.
I am a passionate believer in moderated forums, and have no issues with punitive cooling off periods, but I get aggrieved when I had been subjected a a full day of winding up, which I responded to without insulting any of the posters personally, I simply attacked the content of their posts. I am quite capable of being derogatory to people without insulting their intelligence or personality or any other form of personal insults. You will look long and hard to find posts that I make where I am directly rude or insulting to people on a personal level - I do it to the content or quality of what they post, which I also have no problem with people doing to me. If you post, your post should be open season to comments about the post itself, if its stupid, you should be allowed to say it is, if you justify it (reasonably.)
I have made my feelings clear to both Crawley and Milo and see little point in airing them publically.
The comment that I did make that I am prepared to speak out about, was the enormous damage (I believe) that was done to the board over Redknapp. The rancourous posts and aggressive sniping by some of the anti phalanx was nothing short of poisonous (and possibly libellous in some cases) and I believe that the situation could have been avoided by tighter control over some posters. I think some of the bitterness and insulting behaviour on here will last a long time - as MK said, some of the smaller minded individuals that post will hold grudges for a long time.
I want to post in discussions with genuine Spurs fans and do so in a manner that people would do so, face to face in a social environment. In this thread I have been accused of being mentally unbalanced - yet the poster continues to post - who's fault is that?
I'm taking a sojourn, and cooling my heels so that I don't get any more of these bloody schoolboy punishment points, at the moment I have so many that if it was a driving licence, I wouldn't be allowed to walk for 5 years.
