Edd Why the double standards??

[R1Geezer]

Answerplonker can insult me at length here, and note I was calm and collected leading up to this incident:

But when I retaliate my post get's removed:

Now fair enough ed I'll tramnple the tw&&t omn my own so just let me know if there are favourites and i'll work with it. OK?

[Answerprancer]

Ok R1 - I apologise for the rude words.

[ummmm]

I shouldn't laugh but I can't help it...

Bad boy R1...

[jno]

he just did...

Ed, is there some way of delivering vaporised chill pills via the keyboard, maybe when we click on Submit? Just some sort of sweet spring fragrance that would make us all feel warm and fuzzy and a bit less alpha male?

[McMouse]

On behalf of all offended parties I will have a mini flounce as a show of solidarity.

[Answerprancer]

harrumph ! ..not talking

[AB Editor]

No name-calling. But if you'd care to read the rules during your weekend suspension we all might get on better:

All the best,

Spare Ed

[McMouse]

What does geezer get suspended from? A tree, bridge over the motorway or what?

[ummmm]

Oh I don't think so TT....AP insults the likes of R1...R1 insults anyone...

[jno]

thing is, TT, Answerprancer apologised. People do get carried away, but sane ones calm down and say sorry; others just get furiouser and furiouser until they get a yellow crd.

[Answerprancer]

You mean in the style of "bash their heads together" Tonyted ?

[anneasquith]

like a puplic execution,

[cazzz1975]

more like a "you're grounded till monday"

[Answerprancer]

Seriously though (and I know it can contravene the rules) but I accept that things can get heated and rude words and insults hurled and I expect to get as good as I give - it's all part of a 'process'.
IMO there are a whole bunch of VERY different people posting here, there are bound to be conflicts.
So long as it doesn't turn into a real hate campaign of harrassment or threatening behaviour, I see no problem.

AP -

///IMO there are a whole bunch of VERY different people posting here///

Precisely. And as we have learned recently there are at least a couple of 14-year-olds who frequent Chatterbank regularly. Not a particularly nice environment to see your tirade of expletives is it?

On a personal level I have never ever had the need to resort to hurl rude words in a forum of pixels - perhaps that makes the difference between you and I. Could this be due to personal upringing do you think?
