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

Mod's just know!

[hc4361]

Mods should not make such statements. If they have concerns about a certain ABer they should be discussed with the AbEd, not cause speculation.

[Jackdaw33]

Not a very helpful contribution from Gromit, leading to idle speculation as to the identity of the suspect.

[Baldric]

Agreed

[sunny-dave]

Oh come on - let's have a bit less of the disengenuity chaps - even I know who Gromit is on about - and I'm about as far from mod material as you could get.

[jambutty]

Well I have no idea !

And from all sides.

Perhaps it was the two examples set by the Ed, ie "traitors to britain" and "friends of jihad" that mislead me into thinking it was just from one side.

Nothing to do with having priviledge information, it is all here on the site for everyone to see.

[Jackdaw33]

I have, but that's my secret.

[jackthehat]

pssst......Gromit......

You've missed a couple.... :o)

[mikey4444]

More than a couple ! And what about the member who have been suspended more than once ?

[Jackdaw33]

Must admit I like the username which reads Nigel Farage backwards.

[mikey4444]

Just noticed that Jack !

[jambutty]

Never heard of 'em !

[Gromit]

Jackthehat,

I know, there are gaps? If you want to post, I will add them to my naughty list.

/// One of the members this thread is aimed at has been banned 15 times previously. The Ed is trying to avoud a 16th ban as the user obviously likes using the site. ///

Perhaps it would then be best for the Ed to take this particular offender to task on line personally, as I have been in the past.

What about 'them' and why do you consider it any business of your's?

[naomi24]

In an on-going torrent of abuse I received from one Aber a few days ago, I was branded, among other things, ‘Merkel’s Devil’. Quite a compliment, I thought. ;o)

[Baldric]

Seems to have been Suspended rather than Banned to be fair.
