    I don't see how that should matter... he was banned half an hour after the post was made - scarcely time for dozens to review it.

    The principle behind the ban was in plain evidence 2 posts further up the thread.

    We don't want people feeling free to say you/your opinions are ignorant, thick etc.

    What we want is: I don't agree with that and here is why.

    This is to retain the forum as a resource available beyond those who consistently engage in tit for tat slagging matches disregarding the object of the debate.

    What Irish1 was quilty of as much as anything else was providing fuel to that fire if it was desired by the object of his post. It's a slightly more refined 'don't feed the trolls'. By appearing to insult someone you allow an alternate focus point - something we cann't abide by.

    The consensus appears to be that the politics forum has improved considerably since the energy and manpower reinvigorated the moderation of the forum. The rules and interpretations continue to move, we will continue to tighten them for everyones sake. There was no alternative to Irish1 ban after the banning 2 posts earlier IMO.

    Fair enough I can understand the reasoning behind that. I still think it's unfair to introduce new interpretations of the rules without giving prior warning to users.

    ok, you think its unfair.
    other people also think its unfair.

    some other people think its fair, and some other other people think its fair.

    now, can you all agree to disagree, and let the poor mistreated chap get on with not posting in politics....?

    And the prior warning was the banning on the same thread earlier for doing the exact same thing...... :rolleyes:

    i know.

    its utterly pointless.

    like you whinging about how unfair life is. but hey, turn that frown up-side-down, its a beautiful day, and you dont have to be an unhappy little camper.

    remember, you too have the power to change the world.
    just not boards.ie.

    deal with it.

    hey!

    dont be sorry.

    just try not to give it several times in a row in the thought that no one understands what you are saying.

    people understand, they simply dont agree with you.

    you dont. have. to. make. it. simple. for. the. people.

    This is starting to drift in an all together different direction.

    Points have been made, disappointment expressed and the thread has remained very civil all things considered. I believe it has been trashed out as best it can be.

    Closing due to repition and drifting off topic.
