Is anyone else sick and tired of Wardminters constant abusive and offensive attitude to other ABers?

[Carakeel]

Just in one thread that was meant to be about aggressive dogs in 'News' WM has managed to totally highjack the thread and insinuate that another ABer (Ratter15) was raised by 'benefit loving scum parents' who didn't love their children (as in his eyes if they had loved their children they would have gotten better jobs!) but instead chose to bring their children up 'in squalor and filth'. He compared Ratter15 and his parents to 'peasant scum, scummy folk, disease ridden scum parents' etc. He further goes on to insinuate that Ratter's 'witchcraft partner is a disabled freak'! WM says all this just because Ratter15, who unlike WM does NOT claim to be better than the rest of us, was brought up in a council house. Well I for one have met a lot of people who were brought up in council houses and are today none-the-less intelligent, caring and law abiding loving parents who work hard to provide for their families. None of these people find it necessary to be as abusive and disrespectful to others as WM!
And yet he claims not to be offensive to others and says he would 'hate the fact of knowing I have upset somebody'. What a load of disingenuous rubbish!!! Does anyone else feel the way I do about WM's behaviour?

4getmenot? What do you mean by left the building? He's left AB?

[4getmenot]

I agree joby �It�s the way he tells them� (Ha Ha) and you can certainly tell which abers get annoyed by it, I do think ratter handled himself quite well today and saw it all as a joke, but others need to realise he�s just a username, get over it so you can sleep at night.

[redcrx]

even ratter doesnt want to get involved in this one.

WM hasnt been banned, just some posts have gone by the look of it 4get

[4getmenot]

Boo I would have thought he's been banned because someone went on the dog post in news and reported him, but left ratters remarks behind, now come on they were both as bad as eachother. and they even reported me for telling them to sort it out :-(

[B00]

Not to the people he's saying them too pinkfizz- can you imagine how whiffey (sorry whiffey for mentioning you!) when Wardy accuses him of paedophilia? That in my opinion is not funny by any stretch of the imagination. What also makes it worse is when people jump on the bandwagon, not naming any names, and carry on abusing members when Wardy's got tired and moved on.

[B00]

Oh righty 4getmenot, thought you meant he'd left left...not been banned- lol. Ta for clarifying :-)

[PinkFizz]

Sorry Boo - I didnt see that thread with whiffey.

[redcrx]

think you were on hol at that time Pink

Yes his answer and comments can be a bit "off", but he does make sense. ....personally, I would like to hear Ward_Minter say something about his post. Over to you ward

[4getmenot]

Nah I missed the whiffey fights, anyway I did the same post the other day but not because wardy had annoyed me, I'm just sick of the arguing full stop

[cascarelli]

It's like the school playground in here sometimes

[spk]

From what Ive seen of him over the years, and although I have little to do with him he likes the controversy. Im sure hes lapping up the attention he gets from his own personal posts that people put. Dont let it wind you up just steer clear and pay no attention carakeel

[4getmenot]

then just keep reporting it as soon as you see it. Or just ignore it or tell them to shut up, in the end everyone will get bored with it like we did with sexyrussian.

Why not just post in the above, it's what it was set up for.

Why single out one AB person? Yes, Wardy can be rude and offensive but you don't have to rise to it. And putting a post about him is rising to it. And there's no point in getting in to a slagging match on here either. As with anyone else on here who is being offensive, if you don't like it, report it.

As far as my opinion goes, I've never had a problem with Wardy and he has often made me laugh.

[PinkFizz]

Has everybody kissed and made up??

< Stands up to applaude Cascareli >

Couldn't have said it better.

[4getmenot]

Ah yes china girl. Go get him carakeel if you think you can withstand his wrath :-)

[crete]

CARAKEEL, id be very interestd on you opinion re the posts.

[Carakeel]

So, to those of you who are not bothered by fellow ABers being verbally abused by WM in the way Ratter15 was - how would you feel if WM had said things like this about your parents, your upbringing?

Octavius, this was not about fighting Ratter15's battles, as I am sure he is perfectly able to do this himself without any help from me. I brought this up as I don't think ANY ABer should have to put up with being slagged off in the way Ratter has been by WM today. I agree that tongue in cheek remarks are a lot of fun, but there is a limit beyond which it becomes abusive and intolerable, not to mention unnecessary. At some point it stops being funny and WM seems to thrive on reaching that point with his comments. It is not just Ratter15 this has affected in the past as we all know. I do think though that those of us who see this happening should have the guts to ask that it be stopped. Simply reporting an answer doesn't seem to stop this kind of over-the-top verbal abuse by WM.
