A phobia is an irrational fear, please get it right.

Deadlydarcy if I’m a racist then show me the evidence, and whilst we’re throwing around baseless insults, you’re a dirty paedophile. 8)

Islam can and should be called out for its biggoted and fascist doctrines.

Some STW mods support and even protect the fragile lefties that’s for sure. If Drac genuinely believed I’m racist then rather than posting lame GIFs he’d ban me. But he doesn’t.

I’m at it again ain’t I 😳

I shall go and stand in the corner with my dunces cap on.

So about this chrome plugin?

U ok hun?

And now you’re triggered again. U sure ur ok hun? Can you tell us how you would like this dealt with? I’d really want STW to be your safe space – but we don’t know what to do when you’re triggered. We’d all like to know.

Where are all these racists of which you speak, zokes? I’ve not seen any on STW. Please report any you find and allow STW to ban them.

Just look for a post that has any sympathy for or slightly Conservative leaning and you’ll have found your racists. 😉

I’ve been called a racist and a nazi numerous times on here and I have been banned for racism at least once explicitly*.

You would think it would be impossible for an Irish man to get banned for racism towards the Irish, especially when that racism was to adopt the persona of an imaginary 1930s Pathe News reel voice over man and indulge in obviously (I thought) hyperbolic, grossly stereotypical and blatantly ludicrous tropes from the past.

I thought wrong. Clearly some people are in such a frenzy to hunt racists they can’t see anything like context, nuance or humour etc.

What a great thread. As it turns increasingly into a parody of itself – including excess use of the classic “victim defence” – you have found your answers Cougar and they root of your challenge. Not that they were unclear anyway.

You laid out a clear and reasonable request – go and see for yourself how folk have responded in the highlighted threads, or not as the case may be.

I’m still upset that my regular culling suggestion wasn’t given more thought, but I would suggest a small change of weekly culls but for only one month.

We’ve had no more pointless reporting which was Cougar’s point.

Who would dare 😉 !

But Scottie’s advice is best anyway.

I’m at it again ain’t I

You can wear your self aware cap instead 🙂

And this thread demonstrates exactly why a two-way block would help defuse some of the more controversial disagreements without requiring the mods to read entire threads and make a judgement call.

It’s win-win. Those who enjoy baiting people don’t get triggered, those who aren’t here for the abuse can block it out. I’d even pay for premier membership if it were an upgrade feature.

This is a rubbish deal. I’m sorry but I have seen deal or no deal on the tele, with our Noel. Its nothing like this , not even close.

For there to be ‘deal’ then the has to be an offer, then a period of time to mull the offer over. when the sand has run out of the timer, the deal is accepted , or retracted and a better deal offered.

Saying ‘ Be nice or I will ban the not nice people ‘ is a rubbish deal.
Ban em.- Ban em all , then ban them beyond the back of bandom so they cant find there own way back .

A better deal would be .’ Ok, So heres the deal.- If you lot play nicely and do not swear or troll I will give you new forum, with less pop ups , no talky ads ( so as you do’t get busted at work ) ‘

He who giveth can also baneth , but without Noel on board who knows what is a good deal. Maybe we could get Samuel L Jackson in a gif to say ” My , that is one tasty deal” just so we have some positive re-inforcement of what is, and / or is not a deal.?

It really wasn’t. See my second post.

Very obvious again today – but clearly can’t be reported either.
You don’t half talk some mince, THM Drac

Guess it’s an easy mistake to make, even for a mod 😉

And there’s the wink. And nobody winks more than thm. He is no doubt, one of the biggest winkers on the site.

😉

So I read the first page.

Whats the outcome?

It really wasn’t. See my second post.

You can’t expect me to read that far.

Reported.

I know, its not funny anymore but I’m just catching up.

Enfht: you seem “triggered”. If the cap fits…

I don’t like blocking peope on forums.

Even if a poster is intensely annoying I think I would find it worse to be ignorant to what they say.

Secondly, even said annoying peeps might have a great input on another thread about biking, career advice or whatever.

It’s not something you’re born with

Nahhhh, it’s just rammed into you not long after birth.

Bet you’d get triggered if we banned parents from forcing religion on their children from an early age though. You’d come on here and rant something about the “Nanny Socialist State” “The Homosexual Agenda” and “Teachers”. 😀

Breaking news: Michel Barnier has confirmed “The Deal” has been finalised and unbanning will only be available subject to KY jelly hands and knees therapy, at the mods discretion, following a positive committee vote.

I’ve only blocked one on here and that’s just because they are practically incoherent.

As regards your second point, There are definitely folk who gravitate towards the politics threads and seem to appear nowhere else. As for listening to all opinions, I might not agree politically with, say, Ninfan, but hìs posts are, in the main, well argued and seem to reflect honestly-held views. He will then pop up on something like access issues and we are more likely to see eye to eye. Blocking him totally would therefore be a loss.

It’s really not.
They really don’t.
There’s a lot of blank spaces on this thread on my computer…and all the better for it.

It’s perhaps telling that I know with some confidence of certainty who you mean.

Not seen chewkw for a while.

Delighted that “Big Hitter” is now a part of the lexicon of stw.
