Posts that are either libelous or in breach of the law in any way or likely to cause gratuitous offence must be curtailed. It is however extremely unreasonable that when an individual persistently supports immorality and continues to post an array of unintelligent views , that this individual must be respected and treated with kid gloves. I personally will not tolerate views that go against humanity and are nothing more than utter nonsense and illogicalities. I have the utmost respect for peoples' right to express their views regardless how stupid they might be , and I reserve my right to express my condemnation of such views with a slight touch of colour.
A poster has expressed the view that no one should attack a leader of a nation , I vehemently disagree. Those leaders , whose nations are suffering as a result of corruption and dictatorial policies must be criticised .

Newton's Law of Moderation states that 'you will never please all of the people all of the time' :-(

I spend, maybe, a couple of hours a day on the Forum - there is an amazing volume of lengthy postings in CyProb some days - well most days - but inevitably some posts which should be deleted/edited remain on the Forum for some time and are occasionaly missed completely.

I agree that the tone of the General Section has taken a downward turn lately - and I will tackle that.

Admin believes there should be a light touch - and it is he, and only he, who has the power to ban the repeating miscreant; I have no doubt he issues warnings too.

Insults go in phases: 'Moron' appeared to be the word of the month in June, now we are starting to have the 'F' word; my personal view is that falling back on insulting others means you have lost the argument. Yes, the world seems full of internet 'gangstas', who bravely never back down - when on a keyboard!

One of the participants of this particular incident/poll (which had a very vulgar title) is taking part in this thread right now.



I would like to draw attention to the fact that the particular 'participant' in this thread, DID state that he would prefer the vulgarity to be left out of the title.

Check it out:- Southerner the racist prick should be banned!.

miltiades, I think that you must rate as the most offensive member on this forum, you have resorted to insult in most of your responses, your foul language seems to have become LESS apparent since I pointed it out to you some time ago.

Your particular 'style', seems to have influenced another member of similar age to yourself, I feel it is to his detriment that he has allowed it to have done so.

I am sure that I have been instrumental in forcing you to improve your vocabulary, with a little more work I may even be able to receive a thoughtful and informative response from you.

I am surprised that YOU, of all people, should contribute to this particular thread.

With all due respect Sir. :wink:

Some of the posts when I joined were really out of order, banned sin die for me, as they will always revert back even after warnings as is the nature of these people

You are persistently exhibiting patronising nonsense , a trait that you my dear Eliko has been associated with for some time now. My postings are neither offensive nor rude , they reflect the topic debated and on occasions one or two magnificent expletives creep in. Nothing the matter with this , and may I just say to you , dont kid yourself that you have in anyway influenced my vocabulary which to the relief of all on this forum , it shall remain robust , to the point and non-politicaly correct. Put that in your pipe or in your Havana cigar and shove it up Fidels .....throat !!!
Do me a favour mate can you stop using that patronising Sir since I find , it merely accentuates your feeble efforts at articulating your wasted educational faculties .
The moment you come down to earth and stop lambasting my every post with condescending sardonic replies then Sir !! you will gain the respect you so much desire of me.
