    I genuinely liked the guy - had a lot to say, good sense of humour, and quite often did make intelligent posts. However he also lived close to the edge of what was acceptable, and it wasn't just me in the 'Ivory Towers' who thought there was a lot of trolling.

    Sure, I would like to have him back, but things need to change: I can't condone that behaviour on the forum, or via private message and had to take a stand or it would just carry on and get out of hand. If you don't want opinions critiqued (and let us be honest, this was one of Sheep's tradesmarks ie his critique of opinions!), even via a simple question like I asked without going off alarming then you really shouldn't post on forums I'm afraid. I treat all people with respect, even if I disagree with them.
  • A shame not been on here long but find both of your threads amusing and informative.

    hope it sorts itself out.

    thats the teacher in me.................
  • That's fair enough and I don't think you'd be taking a decision like that on a whim. I still think that a permanent ban is a touch "nuclear option" and not needed.


    For forums to stay good you need to have a bit of edge (though I appreciate you have to draw a line). I just hope something can be sorted out.

    Nothing is permanent here :wink:

    Things need to settle for sure. But as I am sure you can appreciate, if he reregisters just to insult me again then it won't be taken in a good light.

    I have no doubt he'll be allowed back once everything has blown over.

    Note to self - don't troll the mods.

    I agree that things need to settle down a touch on this forum, the trolling has just become a tad boring now and the abusive nature of some forum members is gettting out of hand..You know who you are, it's not big, and it's not clever....everyone needs to just chill a little so that the forum can get back to being a good place to be again.

    Jebus, this place needs order but it also needs character too

    if only there was some way of sorting out this clash of the big forum characters

    see I like sheepsteeth, but I also like supersonic,

    but which one is better?

    There's only one way to find out!!!!

    So if you went on a different forum and was told "fcuk you" kev, you'd go back there would you? If you met a new group of friends and they all said it to you and laughed you'd still persevere would you?

    There is a line and sheeps and yeeha do cross it with some regularity and wind up ruining otherwise interesting threads. To be fair yeeha seems to have relaxed a bit in recent months which is nice

    Provided such "abuse" is limited to the crudcatcher and to regular, thick skinned posters its not a porblem I don't think. When it crosses over into personal abuse via PM and into the wider forum it is a problem.

    Not that it matters what I think cause I aint a mod!

    This is, essentially, it. As long as you're not being a complete pillock, we'll let you get away with a lot in the Crudcatcher. Take it outside this area, and we'll come down like a ton of bricks.

    All eyes on STW to see when he appears!
  • Nah, doubt he'd go to STW, unless it was to do some *proper* trolling. Place is full of hippies and weight weenies, and surftwat

    I could see him going onto UKMObvious. But I'm not sure how long he'd last, even in the sandbox.
