Personal Attacks And Abusive Language Will Not Be Tolerated

"We understand that debates get heated, but personal attacks and abusive language will not be tolerated"

Can we all calm down a bit please?

I've been written to several times about how abrasive and aggressive this section has become.

Several have pointed out that the language in particular has become childish and brutish, with name calling and hyperbole being especially annoying.

So let's calm down a bit. Let's stop calling people "traitors to britain" and "friends of jihad" or similarly rude things.

If you can't make your opinion felt without resorting to these personal attacks, then you'll likely be met with suspension, or banning.

All the best,

Ed

This Referendum issue is sort of like a math/maths class: It has created quite a division amongst you, and the gap is multiplying daily with the addition of acrimonious remarks which is really subtracting from the quality of the site.

Whilst I agree with name calling of individuals, hyperbole is an accepted figure of speech, as is its counterpart, litotes.

Looks like I've returned a bit early! I shall suspend myself for another week :-)

Can you also sort out TTT's abbreviations and rhyming slang?

He tells me that I'm to ignore his threads but if he typed in clear English me, and many others, wouldn't have an issue.

Good luck with that Ed.

You will of course be accused of stopping free speech.

TTT is only having a Turkish. Personally I find it quite amusing to work out what he is saying.

Maybe you could exchange emails when he's out of the steam room.
