Personal Attacks And Abusive Language Will Not Be Tolerated

[AB Editor]

"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

Corby, care to explain your post at 14.21? It could be interpreted as highly offensive

Retro, looks to me like a couple of folks are trying to wind you up, . . . . careful.

Retro, if you become over-wound, I shall have to come over there, take the tension off your click, and slowly unwind you with my let-down tool:)

Paranoid conspiracy theories abound......LoL

Nope, still don't get it, Corby

"Clearly the Ab Editor is fed up with folk being a complete plaster and has had enough."

[THECORBYLOON]

Plaster is short for plaster of Paris which rhymes with Aris. Aris is short for Aristotle and that is a rhyme for bottle. Bottle and glass is the ultimate rhyme.

You mean I've just used an entire shorthand notepad when you could have said - posterior?

In the true spirit of this newly formed polite AnswerBank, shouldn't that be:

"But please feel free to carry on complaining about it?"

There, that is much better, isn't it, not as retrocop needs your permission?
