Bye bye

[barkwindjammer]

just to carry this forward a little if I may, wouldn't it be 'really' interesting if the Mod who deemed it necessary to 'pull' the thread was transparent and explained his/her reason for doing so, after all there seems to be a split within this topic as to whether this was 'just', personaly I cant find any reasonable cause, and I'm a barrister, aren't Mods accountable ?

So, let's get this straight:
Start a politics related thread and include an arbitrary caveat to mitigate application of the rules as they are perceived.
Perception of rules was wrong as demonstrated by a mod applying the rules.

I don't get the cause of departure? Is it an unabatable desire to conduct a political poll or an overwhelming discontent with mods applying the rules?

Best thing to say is simply - Goodbye-have a good life.

RogerS does/has added value to the site.

I find these Bye-Bye messages to be in poor taste, weak and seemingly seeking others to say no-don't -go.

I have found myself disagreeing intensely with RogerS's attitude and approach but he is entitled to have these.

Now lets move on to some woodwork.

I assume it was Philly, and his explanation is given in his earlier post.

I saw that and I'm not even a Barrister.

Or did he mean to say Barista?

while chems was somewhat undiplomatic maybe i think that might be a little harsh - I too have very little time for anyone throwing their teddies out of their pram because of something the moderators have or havent done

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I doubt he can throw them as far as you.

Thank you one and all for your kind words.

For clarification.....

Yes.. I did create a straw poll asking, anonymously, which party people were voting for. We have a good cross-section of the populus and so I thought that it would have been interesting to get a feel at this particular time especially as the outcome is very much in the air.

As far as politics go, I specifically asked in the thread for no comments . Indeed, I even went so far as to ask that my initiating post was the only one in the thread to avoid debate and dissent.

Yes..we have a 'no politics' rule but surely that relates to discussion. Not a bloody straw poll. I would have thought that whichever mod removed it would have treated us as adults and let the poll run.

That's it.

Ha knew you hadn't left really! Welcome back Roger, may your stay be long and happy, all is forgiven!

Make your mind up, Bu*#*r off yesterday, welcome back old mucker today :?

Why foolishly woodbloke ? Never did anyone any harm being on the square :wink:

Off we go in yet another unwise direction - I'll be surprised if this doesn't end in tears. more airborne teddies, locked thread yet again.

What direction? People taking the pi$$ out of each other? We're all big boys (and a couple of girls) and if we can't take a little ribbing (and I've not seen anything more than that) then we really shouldn't be here.

 

[Russ]

This should cheer us all up!

Long, long story...but you're very wrong - Rob

 

[Argee]

We're all big boys ..

As recent events have shown, this is clearly not the case. Just as in (real) life, what is "ribbing" to some is a matter of considerable import to others, apparently. It was ever thus.

He has been banned he confirmed that at last nights drinking section ccasion5:

 

[big soft moose]

ahh that explains it , its on a members only board and i'm not a member of the "otherside" which is why i couldnt see it.

that certainly happened quietly but i'm sure the mods had a good reason.

Would have been nice i imagine if they`d have given him a reason or a warning.

I not seen anything he`s posted that warrants his banning, quite a few post worst than him.

well yeah - i'd certainly expect him to be told why, and i agree that ive not seen anything that bad - tho we dont know whats been deleted of course.

But then again anyone who is banned and then allowed back on any forum is going to be on a "watch list" so i guess its not really reasonable to expect a warning first.

I would quite agree, but we do seem to be witnessing some double standard mod-ing.
