Yet again, good riddance.

It's OK, he's full time occupied arguing about
Photoshop with me by email

*checks inbox*

Oh yeah… 🙂

Fred has sad to me that he has tried to contact the mods several times to find our why he was banned this time and non of them will answer him. He finds it strange that Ton can apologise for being racist but Fred can't even get an explanation from the Mods.

It certainly looks like double standards and hypocrisy to me. I guess I am getting rather close to the line myself now.

Maybe they're just bored of him now TJ, how many chances are you supposed to give someone?

That and they may well just be too busy to bother to try and get some rational from him. He could be a really nice guy I have no idea but he comes on here and acts like a complete nob most of the time.

I guess I am getting rather close to the line myself now.

My theory is that STW is actually an opinion monitoring system operated by the Civil Service, masquerading as a bike forum.

That would certainly explain the generally leftist attitude on here in the past, and if your ban co-incided with a change in government – the PM gets the statistics he wants to get, and nobody stands in his way!

Edit – 😆 just in case anyone thinks I'm actually serious.

Thing is drac – he was behaving Ok this time – really no worse than quite a few of the regulars. fair point tho

The thing with Fred i could never get is he seemed to be on here literally constantly during waking hours……very odd 😯

Tron – generally leftist? I find it rather right wing myself.

Would you like to borrow my tinfoil hat?

He gets away with a lot.

Thats because he is a great big cuddly bear of a man who gives lovely hugs if you ask him nicely.

Guess I should really have added.

The staff don't necessarily do the moding, while they may have the overall say at times a lot of the 'active' mods are volunteers who have other jobs, interests and generally may not be around. When they get an email they will filter through the important ones I guess and Fred wanting unbanned, again, is probably not a priority to them.

TJ – you said I could borrow the hat next. Typical right wingist attitude if you ask me 😕

a lot of the 'active' mods are volunteers

How were they chosen?

You'll have to point out to me a post of his where he isn't doing that!

Isn't everyone doing this all of the time you tossers?

I have had to moderate a forum, as a part of my job. The problem with fred types is they generate too much work. If someone has been banned before I would have to watch them more closely to make sure they don't do it again. If they are on most threads all day then it can take quite a lot of time checking their chat history. Especially if they try to avoid swear filters and other "hot" words. Most people don't need to be monitored so you can get on with other work to make the site better for everyone else. If you spend half a day checking one person who can behave in an unacceptable way it would probably be in the interest of the forum/site to ban them. That way the site can be better for all the other members.

He was for him certainly, even when someone insulted him. But looks like they weren't prepared to give him the chance this time.

personally, i don't give a toss

i find it amusing that a banning results in a discussion/bun fight of this magnitude. it has more posts than most bike related threads 🙂

It's more entertaining when he's here. Just like it was more entertaining when glupton was here. And would be less entertaining if TJ got banned. That said I'm happy just to read the arguments, I'm too lazy to join in with them, so maybe that's why I don't find such people frustrating?

I find it rather right wing myself.

It's all relative. You're looking from a position somewhere to the left of Tony Benn 😉

just to clear things up a bit.

in my post as bombadillo, i asked why soft lefties were attacking a politician (mr griffin)
teej, ernie and a few others took this to be rascist.
i then proceded to wind them up for a while, until ernie verbaly attacked me saying i was a rascist.
i asked him to show me where i had been rascist ( i had not)
he failed to show me where i had been rascist.
i was banned for a week. 8)

I'm pretty sure thgere will be a lot more going on behind the scenes that we aren't privy too…

Yes there is, as Talky has just told me. Quite amusing I must say…

The thing with Fred i could never get is he seemed to be on here literally constantly during waking hours……very odd

Quite amazingly, mobile phones can be used nowadays to access the internet. Yowsers, what next eh? 😉

So you were banned for trolling by the sounds.

mrmichaelwright:

+1.

I remember the thread!

Didn't know you got banned for it 😯

Blimey, best not say anything about anything again. EVER.

drac…….yes, i think.

and to this day, teej and ernie have never….NEVER…proven me to be rascist… 8)

Ton – what about the gypsies? I seem to remeber you being very racist about them.

"in my post as bombadillo, i asked why soft lefties were attacking a politician (mr griffin)" And once again ton, you're shooting yourself in the foot. Nick Griffin is not a politician, he's a nazi c**t, and by describing the people who are prepared to stand up and say so
as 'soft lefties' you come over as well, if not racist, certainly reactionary.

teej…….show me where.

and is my gran irish/roma??

mitch…….was he elected??

Think Talke started using the ponce word repeatedly again IIRC in some thread last week in a 'debate' with someone who obviously supported the Tories.

someone who obviously supported the Tories.

far more worthy of a ban than being a bit sweary

😉 <- this indicates a degree of irony to my post people, let's not get offended

Ton – what about the gypsies? I seem to remeber you being very racist about them.

The opposite he always goes apesh1t on the abuse given to gypsies
EDIT:for the reason above

he's a nazi c**t

But your opinion of him doesn't alter the fact he IS a politician – the leader of a recognised political organisation irrespective or whether or not you agree with their views. I sometimes wonder (given how many times you have repeated yourself calling him that particular schoolyard name) how much you understand about politics and our democratic political system.

"a lot of the 'active' mods are volunteers"

How were they chosen?

This is not a democracy.

ton – we've been there before. I dont give a fiddlers **** whether he was elected, we both know that it was done dishonestly, we both know he's a lying nazi tossbag, and what I dont get is why you seem so keen to defend him.

ton, haven't you been ringing and emailing people and threatening them after disagreements on here? That's what I heard. Naughty thing.

mitch….i agree with you, i aint defending him.
i never did. 8)

dd, who??

Yay… someones bitten.

Give them all a hug Ton…

Nick Griffin is not a politician, he's a nazi <deleted>,

You're free to hold that opinion of him, but by expressing it on here in that way you're breaking the forum rules in a way that standing up for him isn't.
