    Aurelio was a bit of a one-trick pony but his forensic knowledge of matters relating to Armstrong was impressive and if people disagreed, they only had to begin a debate.

    Telling kids in the playground that Father Christmas is fake can ruin a lot of people's Christmas holidays though.

    Moderating a forum is very difficult, it's not as if there is some panel of experts to review things and an appeals process. So decisions can look hard.

    I must admit that I hadn't seen too much moderation on this forum up to that point.

    If people are adult they should be self moderating.

    I think jackhammer got kicked off cyclingnews for inviting people over to Ohio for a fistfight.

    What a tightarse - wants a fistfight, but the other person has to pay for the ticket to get there, he could have at least asked where they lived.

    I have only been ME. That I know of. Of course there is the problem of those missing hours and days.

    I take it you've all realised Aurelio is back under another guise by now....

    what did he get banned for exactly? Just read through his ols posts, nothing that seems too awful as far as I can tell.

    In a reply to 'jackhammer111' he changed his name to 'jackingoffthinkingoflance'.

    Seriously, that was it!

    (Hammer's response was to say 'I don't think you want to get into a name calling contest with me. I'd advise the moderator to get this jerk in line before I flame him into oblivion' before moving onto more 'robust' threats and name-calling).

    well now you know what happens if you get too near a jackhammer.

    you get squashed. !

    so the warning is "Keep Well Clear"

    I must add that , as a moniker , from the splendidly evocative 'Aurelio' to the wretchedly prosaic 'BikingBernie' is a bit of a bummer . :cry:

    Still , if the game's the same , I'll let it pass . :D

    Go figure.

    You're absolutely right. It was not something that I should have said and I intend to apologize to the lady. In my defense(if there is one) I meant it as a question of "How
    would you like it if people called you names?". I know I could have worded it better but that's how it came out. Lots of name calling on this site. Done a bit of it myself, but generally have always regretted it later. Guess I'm saying(right or wrong) that "sauce
    for the goose is sauce for the gander".

    Chapeau. It is a problem with internet forums, easy to say things you don't mean when social control has been slackened a bit. This particular lady has not been well recently so I was a bit defensive.
