Then do it !!

But you can't ....have a nice wee pop at Anna, Eirik and Dan....cheap shot.

Have a go at me...not them.

Liggy's posts pre L'Derry could have been dealt with...but no,you let them fester and for that you are the fall guy.

But let's move on.

I didn't care for many of Liggy's posts for various reasons but until the offending posts, which like Leon I also didn't see until they had been removed, thert was nothing that I felt warranted him being banned. Many posts seemed to simply be drunken rants/ramblings which were not to my sense of humour but may well have been funny to others.

And may well have been offensive to others...though i did not report these....but i could sense an underlying malevolence building....and alas it came to fruition.

As I do with your and Gino's posts. What can we do about it?
And I haven't reported any of them, even though I have been offended by this underlying malevolence.

If the posts were offensive to others then it is up to others to report them - as in the case of the (London) Derry one. It is not up to the moderator to presume others may take offence as that would suggest that it may also be the case that no one may take offence. Similar really as to how one or two people took offence (on behalf of others) over Leon's posts but the majority didn't seem to take offence. If it was the case that we thought it would definitely cause some people offence then yes action would be taken. It is not up to the moderators to ban people because we think they might become offensive in the future - maybe a quiet word/warning but not a ban. Similar in how we felt the right action in relation to Leon was simply a quiet word about his post - although to be honest he had already acknowledged that his post wasn't in the best of taste and I think if the furore hadn't have erupted he may well have simply deleted his post.

In general there is very little need for moderation on the site.

people in the minorities always come across with passive aggression though , just look at the aggression shown by the minority who wanted to remain in Europe when the leave voters won , sit back Leon & senor and enjoy your majority vote in the Mod vote :tup:

I realize that people have different opinions than I do, so I don't go crying to teacher (as you worded it) when I come across something that may ruffle my feathers a little. (or indeed a lot).

Remember our discussion regarding 'the Irish Terrorist'. We disagreed on everything but I accept that you have your own opinions and I hope you recognize that I am entitled to mine. Even though yours are wrong :) .

It's OK to be offended, but don't expect everyone else to be in agreement.

Also, it does seem like you and Gino dislike Leon and are lurking, just waiting for an opportunity to 'get' him. That is not 'cool'.

You should be apologizing to Anna. No way she deserves that snide commentary.

It'd be Leon arguing with Weasel wouldn't it?

Depends on your definition of 'wrong', fiaap. I'm happy to admit that I have a huge problem with 64 since he sided with riot when the latter was - in my opinion - being abusive to me and others.

So yeah when I see him make a crass comment about the young lady in question I'm going to call him out with a bit of extra zeal that I would probably not apply to others.

He does seem to treat the forum as his personal kingdom/playground and seems to positively revel in the fact that he - in his mind at least - keeps the place going single-handedly.

I've seen plenty of incidences when he bemoans the fact that nobody is taking part in a quiz, poll etc wonders aloud if he should bother then perks up when others 'beg' him to stay.

His responses to date would suggest that he cannot handle criticism - constructive, deserved or otherwise.

Maybe he's a stable genius?
