Unbloomingbelievable.

Unbelievable how Morqthana thinks he can just walk in and break the forum rules and avoid being reported. It really grates on me that attitude.

which rule?

Never mind - i see the rest of it now.

Maybe someone can explain which rules were broken in that post and why Morq' is banned from posting because their opinion is at odds from the rest of the crowd?

The tenet of "I disagree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it" doesn't apply by some vindictive people, despite their claim to hold true to that belief.
It never has in DIYnot GD. I see it getting worse, not better.

It's beyond that, as far as i can see. Other posts have been deleted that weren't remotely political in content, or controversial in character. I've seen them, and cannot discern any forum rule being broken.

Even the thread title has been changed to avoid upsetting some sensitive souls.

If you ask a sensible, but searching question that leaves the original poster at a loss to answer and looking silly, your question may will be deleted and the questioner banned from the thread or forum.
As you say, some words are not acceptable, but serious abuse, attempts to extract personal information or posting supposed personal information, and persistent extreme bigotry is tolerated with no apparent penalty imposed.

He was told not to post in the GD but continued to do so.

Don’t look at me!

Don’t look at me!

Thats very understanding of you.

Nothing political in seeing a female police lady smashed full on in her face and her nose broken by a man, then the other thug attacking the other officer. Justice has not been served. What sort of message does this send out to all the other thugs.

But it got to court and two independent juries couldn’t agree on a verdict

I fail to see how.

 

[Elsa TLC]

I generally think juries need to go. When Farage take over he then gets rid of the the left out of the system .

Hardly!

Because he's been deemed 'argumentative'?


Nonsense.


A forum is defined as a public place designed for open discussion and debate. If someone is considered 'argumentative' because their opinion goes against the majority and doesn't contravene forum rules then any attempt to quell that aspect of this forum should be vigorously opposed.

I see you have altered your opinionated view and removed the personal insults towards me, very wise. I understand your concern and not agreeing with the decision taken by the mods, this is out of your control and is none of your business, you can be banned from many public places including a forum.
