Off topic posting is not tolerated on Personal Issues which is totally fair. It's fine to a point in After Hours but not Personal Issues. Would you not consider the agenda of the particular forum? There are suicidal people starting threads there - is it too much to ask for people to stay on topic in a serious forum like that?

FTR; I'm one of the users who got the week ban for being off-topic and whilst I'm not delighted I was banned, I completely accept it. It's only a week and I'll live with that.

Whilst then PI thread was getting slightly dragged out anyway, and that it wasn't quite as sensitive an issue as suicide, myself and the other poster still deserved what we got, and the other poster wasn't just off-topic, but was questioning a mods decision also.

...As for this thread, Dudess, why do you have to make everything so serious? ....This thread had been a big joke up until around the 200th reply, then it became fun, and now you've just destroyed it again by making it serious . Troll.

Sparky

When in France speak French
When in Germany speak German
When on boards speak ENGLISH unless otherwise stated.

Irish is a beautifull language, but if I was asked for my opinion on a everyday matter by someone on the street as Gaeilge, No.1 I would be somewhat slightly ashamed in not knowing my native language and No.2 would ask the question, "why is this person talking to be as Gaeilge. Is she trying to push the issue that she is better than me by thinking she can speak Irish better than me and is somewhat superior to me?"

So OP like cambells soup, there is a time and place to do it. On boards we have sections whereby you can do it fully and get responces as Gaeilge. Other sections, you will be barking up the wrong tree.

Do yourself a favour and read the thread,not just the title, before posting.

I don't speak a word of Irish, but I can at least type it correctly if it's put in front of me.

Funny that the OP doesn't, given that Irish doesn't tolerate a lack of diacritics well, hence it never adopting the French practice of leaving them out on capitals when this was technologically more convenient (as it once was, though technology has moved on).

Still, by main objection to the OPs actions is how it would interrupt how one of we the people of this website had decided to start a conversation. I dislike this anti-Republicanism.

Scary you tube page :O I can't believe this thread is still going!! I guess the title is catchy! Well done GA, you managed to get your attention.

Oh Jesus Christ. NOBODY has a problem with anyone posting in Irish. However, why write a post in Irish when the conversation is in English? Why? What would it achieve other than to be "contrary"? Ditto if the conversation was in Irish and someone posted a comment in English. Somehow I don't think there'd be such an uproar over people taking exception to that. Anyway, that's not even the argument. Once again: the OP was banned for being off topic and arguing with a moderator on a heavily moderated forum.

Exactly. So what is your issue?

Fair enough. I won't argue with a moderator. I didn't realise there was an irish speaking section. Anyway, this thread has fallen to pieces. Bit hard to stay on-topic with a **** stirrer.

Nice find there zAbbo. I actually hoped this guy was a troll. Turns out he's for real. A full blown 16 year old chucky dancing at the crossroads. Hopefully the years that pass will bring some sense.

I just read all 250 of these posts.

I want that time back. Seriously! I've never seen such a ridiculous feedback thread.

All powerful Wibbs, can you change my mind so as to un-read this?!

Look into my eyes....... You're getting sleeeeepy...... sleeeeeeeeeepy.:D
