People can post crap if they like.

People can argue with peoples crap to put thier crap on the table if they like.

The only thing that really should'nt be allowed is abuse/swearing and personal attacks.

Onya mate

got really heavy with that recently - thankfully the posters were banned (but are back-were banned and are back again )


Luckily we do have people on here that will post useful info and it is greatfully received.

You get the negative / positive / trolls /flamers etc but you can spot them.What I dont agree with though is people screaming ban them ignore them blah blah .Just cause you dont like what a person says doesnt mean you have the right to be judge and jury .-o.k. different matter when it gets personal(I posted that recently as well) or abusive /improper language etc.But some posts here follow the same theme - someone posts - someone jumps in ban them ignore them etc etc -dont like what they are saying am putting my hands over my ears la la la la .As I say blow holes in a post if you feel it is wrong/incorrect.Dont reply if you dont like the post and find a post you like and reply to that.

At least things have been active here over the last week but with the absence of *very* personal attacks

plus some posts run for more than 2 lines(just look- I typed more than 10 words)

If that's what you believe then you are free to say it; if I felt really strongly about it then I would probably respond.

But what gives me the right to tell you you can't have an opinion!?! :confused:

Also just a thought, cant you in forum settings, block particular posters posts from being viewable?

After reading this thread (and countless others like it) I can't help but think some people actually *enjoy* a good whinge.

My previous post in this thread went unnoticed. So I'll repeat a little more bluntly.

Don't be so wet - if you don't like what's written, just ignore he (or 'she' or 'they') will soon get bored.

Kong must be p*****g himself laughing at the level of interest shown in this thread.

Maybe I'm being 'assimilated' as an Aussie, but the Brits really do moan a lot.
