Please ban wilf...it makes it time-consuming to wade through these petty conversations he has with Megalania. Why can't he send a PM to Megalania as noone else cares about them!

Ah! It's Mary Whitehouse back from the dead. Where have you been Simple? What you should wonder is why there are 11 (and rising) that say no to your ban. The ratio of 1 to 3 is about right I reckon for those able to think for themselves and cope with flak as opposed to kids like you who need thoughts implanted in them like currants in a pudding and have all the backbone of a wet towel.

Anyway, still here son. Keep reading.

Perhaps had you lot asked asked Wilf a sensible question, you just might have recieved a sensible reply, if not then he deserved scorn. But, no, his (alleged) 40+ years in Aus counted for nought with you. Dreaming, bull and backbighting seem to be your main interest. Now go bight your collective bums.

banning any body is not good for this forum

if you disagree then there is the ignor function.
if it's abusive -inform the moderator.

we had a 'ban pb' not long ago too...


every pearl needs a bit of grit

Default Pessimistic Posters

What I've been wondering is are all these pessimistic posters really like this all the time or are they just playing devil's advocate?

Are they just attention seeking? If so they are certainly getting plenty of attention!

I was discuusing one of PB's replies with my boyfriend last night in the pub. PB has become almost like a pseudo-mate - as if we are discussing someone we know.

All very bizarre!


Regards

it doesn't help much to put him on ignore as other people often quote him so it ruins the flow & purpose of the forum

As far as I can see Wilf is not interested in answering questions, just leaves sarcastic non-relavant answers to any and every post, therefore his alledged 40+ years in Oz is of no benefit to anyone. He is a wind up merchant whos only pleasure in life appears to be running other people down. Can't really see how that is of any benefit to this forum.

Some people only need a small thing to make them think a lot whereas others need more, that's all. Not everyone puts things across the same way - bit boring if we were all like you (or me) no?
Ban me or ignore me if it suits you.

Have your vote.
I vote for this Wilf poster, who obviously has obsessive complusive disorder, to be banned.

You have posted to me several times this week and I have been kind enough to ignore them. Now this. I am helping to give meaning to your life at the moment and now you want to ban me?

I do not care if 44 votes are to ban me. Look, there are 22 people who do not want me banned. I am posting for them, not you.

It seems to me that the proportions are about right. Twice as many people want me banned as want me to stay, and twice as many people on the forum have not even lived in Oz for 6 months as those who have. I am not saying things that please those who want Oz to be perfect and so do not expect to be loved (though I have my fans and tribute posters - like Chippy, for example) but I am posting Oz as it is, not as you would wish it was. If you do not like my stuff, ignore it.

In contrast to you, I would never ask for your stuff to be banned. That would be pathetic to me.
