You were happy to stomp all over Ursus at the time, a well regarded poster. Spare me the retrospective pedantry. I wouldn't put enormous stock in your posturing, considering you defend multi-millionaires that bear nothing in common with society at large. Naivety overload.

Hardly stomped all over them - I said "is that really appropriate to say to someone in the OP's situation?", literally nothing else. So spare me the lying. What on earth difference does being a well regarded poster make? If anything they'd have better judgement. Still bizarre that you don't even consider why people at the time thought it was a sh1t thing to say, given the context.

The other thing is actually a criticism of media smear campaigns against anyone.

I've seen you get bothered by things people say plenty of times so no need for the sneering at people. Nobody is getting their knickers in a twist. Actually it was only electro and I who said the strongest things on this thread - just our opinions. It was asked what they said - so it was replied to. It was tasteless and rude to a man who not only had the grief of burying his baby but gobshytes taking things off the baby's grave. Yet no, the problem is the people criticising the comment to him. :rolleyes:

Nobody should be lynched. And Ursus (definitely a woman?) didn't need to close their account over it. There was some reaction to it on thread (not much) and then the mod did their thing, and that should have been the end of it.

Doesn't make sense though - can only be either what you alone think, or what everyone thinks.

But anyway, giving good advice does have to entail telling someone things they don't want to hear, but this can still be done in a compassionate way.

Well my sister buried a baby. To my knowledge there has never been a toy on the grave. She chose to plant flowers for each season so there will always be something blooming on the grave.

My opinion was based on the 20 years of feedback my sister has received and comments from people, whom she doesn't know but would see her at the grave.

Now I'm sure there's people who also judge on the fact that there is no toy, maybe thinking it's abit cold....I don't know.

Everyone has their own way of doing things and you do what's right for you at the time.

Of course. I don't think anyone said otherwise, and that includes respecting putting toys on a grave. It wasn't the only weird comment about it to the father. Found it bizarre. Why on earth would how the items on the grave *look* even occur to people? I mean I can't stand clutter or tat but toys on a child's grave makes perfect sense to me.

And whatever your sister prefers should of course also be respected - it's not at all cold imo. It seems bizarre too though that strangers were telling her toys would look tacky.

Thought she was a good contributor myself: well able to defend her point of view, without it getting malicious. Then I saw she was banned. Seemed very strange, but, what do I know.

Most bans seem pretty unclear. Look at the last post of anyone that was banned and it looks very innocuous. The answer to this is either

1) Person banned for private messages they sent (fair enough)
2) Person banned for posts that were deleted by a mod and all trace of the offense removed.

For the second one above, I think in the interests of transparency at least a
snip
Mod:

Being added to the post(s) in question could be done. If the person is illegitimately banned there's no comeback available, and if they rereg to try and do so, then that profile is auto-banned.

This was resolved but you'd imagine there'd be plenty more that are just unjustly removed and can never post.

From when the prison forum used to be quality entertainment before a couple of bleeding heart gobshytes got their knickers in a twist over it and it became the sanitised shadow of itself that it is now. Between that and the nuking of the dome, it set this site on an irreversible path to perma-offended mediocrity.

Yeah that one was particularly confusing. Poster is here contributing and then suddenly they are banned. Usually if you look through their posts - because surely there must have been some blowout - everything looks very innocuous.

I presume it's some re-reg stuff most of the time or PM related carry on. I figure there's this subculture of PMs being sent madly all over the place that I'm not really aware of.

Squall Leonhart. That's a name I recognise but can't recall them at all.
Was Speedwell the lady from the US? Her and her husband had autism.
