If you think you would be allowed to post the "news" you do here on other sites you're in for a rude awakening.

@jmo - can we keep him? Please?

He was asked to consider the no spamming rule more carefully, if he doesn't he might end up silenced for a while, but not banned.

I know. I know. I'm just looking into my crystal ball and for seeing the future. And it doesn't look good for him.

Hey, I have a serious question. If blankflag is being sanctioned for regularly posting rubbish that clogs up the forum with crap, why do the moderators tolerate Mujus's constant posting about the bible?

@Jamiet99uk - if you're going to come out here and be a giant douchebag, you should probably consider how people view your contributions first. As far as I am concerned, nothing you have ever posted has been worth anyone's time. Grow up and stop behaving like a child.

I'm glad someone asked that question.
Mujus has been asked -and he has consistently followed our suggestion- to keep his posting to a single thread, "Daily bible drivel."
And I suggested the same thing to blankflag: to post his inane rubbish to a single thread that he has already proclaimed to be his daily news or the equivalent to Mujus's thread.

That's perfectly fine.

@ zultar: That's fair enough I suppose. Thanks for responding.

@ Lando: Hey, why the hate? I may be a bit of an asshole but I also make plenty of serious contributions. My question about Mujus was genuine - I find his Bible nonsense a detriment to the quality of the forum. Why do you attack me?

I don't care for the bible either. I find your posts to be be very rude and insulting most of the time. Not to me, but I find you tend to target whoever the current "trend" happens to point to. I find you to be apologetically rude to people who are already taking abuse and I don't enjoy this type of behaviour, its worse than hearing about the bible or "elites" in my mind.

anyway i have already decided to stop using this site for debate and just copy and paste news into it and let your community do the debating since its not worth my time when other sites have better moderators and a more critically thinking userbase.

May I suggest:

I do think, however, that their rules of the forum are spelt out better than here. Not saying that I agree with them, but they do seem to be pretty well laid out and very detailed.

@ Lando:

1. I don't understand the phrase "apologetically rude".
2. Link to three recent examples of me being "very rude and insulting" to people who weren't asking for it, and I'll be happy to discuss my comments in each case. It's even possible I'll see what you mean and apologise for my conduct, if with hindsight I appear to have spoken unduly harshly.

Don't let blankflag go, he's the only User less popular than me ..........

TC is less popular than you.

Can we all just agree that there are not many people less popular than Nigee?

Probably not without a mass debate

Rush Limbaugh, Piers Morgan, Wayne LaPierre... I can name plenty more.

What about Jeremy Kyle?

I apologize. I meant to say

Can we all just agree that there are not many USERS less popular than Nigee?

Bump. Lando, you called me a child and a douchebag and I asked you a question in response to that. So I'm bumping in the hope of an answer.

Oh, that is better jim. Yeah, we can agree to that. Nigee's cool as long as he's not talking about Israel or religion.

Jamie, I am referring to exactly what you have admitted to "to people who weren't asking for it"

I would go find examples, but this is how you would defend your actions. I find you to be extremely unpleasant because you find a need to respond to every instance of a cheating accusation, a stupid question, an annoying "debater-type" with extremely harsh and uncalled for insults. Often you do so after other people have politely tried to help the person out. The worst, though, is that you join any kind of "negative bandwagon" and contribute in the most insulting fashion you can think of.

It's classic bully behaviour. I understand that its easy to get away with this over the internet, but I find your attitude towards other people to be extremely unpleasant.

I hope my response was satisfactory.

It wasn't satisfactory, no. Despite your repeated claims that I bombard people with "extremely harsh and uncalled for insults" you seem unable or unwilling to offer any examples of me doing this.

I do insult people sometimes, yes, but I reckon they generally have it coming.

I demand justice and so forth...

Lando are you going to man up, or what? Examples or I didn't do it.

Well, there we go. I gave Lando a reasonable time to back up the accusations made against me, and nothing, silence. And I note Lando commenting on threads in the last 24 hours, so I guess I'm not going to get a further response. Nice.

"I would go find examples, but this is how you would defend your actions. I find you to be extremely unpleasant because you find a need to respond to every instance of a cheating accusation, a stupid question, an annoying "debater-type" with extremely harsh and uncalled for insults. "

I knew there was something about Jamie I liked. :-)

I read the quote from Lando (repeated above by Draugnar) as:

"I would go find examples, but I don't want to give you the opportunity to defend yourself against my broad-brush insult".

I rest my case. Lando's silence speaks volumes.

Lando - don't bother to respond now, I gave you an entire week, during which you were online more than once and commenting in other threads, so you can't claim you didn't see this one. You say I'm the one who is unfairly rude to people, yet here you publicly insulted me, in quite an offensive tone to be honest, and then you refused to back your words up despite me giving you a week to do so. You fail.

Apologies guys, I won't be bumping this thread again.
