I know there are strong feelings out there but the forum is getting nasty. Make your point but do it without personal abuse please, we're better than that.

[D.C. Harrison]

Testify. It really has been a bit "much", hasn't it, as much as I know plenty thing we're rapidly approaching the end of days and others think the opposite.

I know there are strong feelings out there but the forum is getting nasty. Make your point but do it without personal abuse please, we're better than that.

The rather general nature of this masks the fact that the vast majority of the abuse comes from a mod who has, time and again, failed to moderate himself and from a gurning simpleton whose limitations are his only strength.

Please don't tar us all with the same brush.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Does that include insulting Emmett?

[Kreuzberger]

There is a world of difference between insults and fair-comment.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

My comments on his intelligence were based on many years of professional experience.

Oh that's right abuse me all you want Kreuzberger, but since I'm a gurning simpleton that's fair comment isn't it?

[Safe_Timber_Man]

How did you know he was referring to you?

[Malcolm Armsteen]

After all, we're well stocked for gurning simpletons at the moment, what with Emmett coming back.

[The Weeping Angel]

He's called me a simpleton in the past.

[bluebellnutter]

I'll be honest, I took the gurning simpleton to mean any of four potential users. I won't name them.

I did wonder if it was me but then realised I've never gurned in my life.

That was not my intention but the general tone of the forum is getting unpleasant. This is a great shame because I was drawn to Mailwatch because the standard of debate and writing was so much better than other message boards.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

I agree with Daley, I'm afraid.

HOWEVER - consistent moderation is needed.

And I think it's time to lock the Corbyn et al threads. Nothing useful is going on there except for some inadequates tossing off. It would be worth losing those threads to keep the Orca, and they could be restarted under different heads in sensible fashion if the mods were to exercise some control.

Let's get back to dissing the Mail.

[The Red Arrow]

I'll second that. Ain't gonna work unless the mods mod.

BBN Kreuzberger was talking about me, it's no secret that he looks down on me and has been abusive to me in the past.
