Sorry I think everybody, including the mods, are being very unfair.

Just read a good few dozens posts calling him names etc.

Now just becuase most people disagree with what he is saying does not mean people against him dotn have to follow the rules.

As somebody once said.

I may not agree with what your saying, but I will fight to the death to protect your right to say it

Sort it out people. Lets not turn into Cyprus Forum Cool

As far as I'm concerned if someone personally attacks DLS they will receive a warning from me. I'm not around often, usually just for a few minutes each day, but should I see anyone insulting anyone else it will be addressed. I too don't always agree with DLS but he has an equal right to state his views and also has a right to respect from the other members of this forum.

As for your intervention, this would probably have been far better handled through a PM to the moderators where your concerns could be addressed. This seems a very unnecessary way to go about doing this... if you can provide me with evidence of your concerns, then when I'm around again I will take action.

Thanks

Please dont see this as a dig at anybody in particular.

It just seems that people are quicker to put eachother down, rather than have a debate.

Come on Crash, have you ever tried to have a conversation with him? I have and it starts and ends with abuse. I have even tried to change the subject to that of music and he just answered me in one word sentences. That was the only time though that he did not accuse me of spreading propaganda so I suppose that was something. Laughing

He is an angry man but a strange sort of angry. A bit like Alf Garnet I suppose Laughing

You mods are just giving each other warnings for some street cred. Wink

is it healthy for mods to argue in front of members, maybe you should do it in a section of the site that is authorized only for mods and admin, like what i do with my own forum. you should always endeavour to present a unified front, otherwise it demonstrates weakness and exposes internal problems that certain members may use to get one mod against another-the old divide and rule tactic, alas...we cypriots know it very well.

@Bullika: we do have such a section.

@CTD: if you think something deserves a warning, please use the blue card option. That's why this feature has been implemented.

Like I said before. I was not out to cause trouble just highlight my views.

@Zan - All the cool kids have warnings (city is too cool for them BTW)

I dont care if a person is a complete ass they still have the same rights as us lot.

@City - I dont want to go about grassing people up but I just wondered why most of the mods were in that thread and said nothing.

Never eat yellow snow.

i wont retract my comment unless DlS retracts his, that offended me, but if that means getting a warning, then so be it.

for me now, the situation is finished/closed, and im finished talking about it.

i crossed teh line, so i should accept the consequences of my actions, liek an adult.
