The End Of The Road.

I thought that 7thE has already explained in that private conversation with Rikk; that Rikk decided to print here...

Just to pick out one point out of many 7th. This is NOT okay.

7th says:
if they can handle a adult room they can handle cunt too

There are limits and I think that's one of them. A well respected member lost a lot of credibility when he used that word on this forum. You should indeed use the word filter.

This Billy Dean thing is so incredible it makes my head spin.

Exactly what IS it with some of the mods and BD?

You've got a pretty extensive mod list here, how come if BD is so bad.... ALL mods aren't putting in complaints?

Why does it seem to be the same ones over and over? And why does it have to be on such trivial bullshit matters?

The mods take on BD and j2k4 because they had a disagreement, so what? The same mods were happy to see a "brawl" taking place with other long-standing members and the Aussie's just over a month ago and jack-shit was done to stop it!

Double standards... and sure I have no doubt those same mods will come out, all guns blazing, to once again try to turn this around as a Aussie gang attack.

This place has some really decent mods... people who some of you others could learn lessons from in decency and professionalism.

If you guys can't see that there is a problem here you'd have to be not only blind but stupid too. What are you going to do about it though? Ban anyone who doesn't meet your criteria because they speak their mind?

This is appauling ... censorship of the worst kind!

Damn... will i get pinged now because I've spoken out too?

Wanna know something?... I honestly couldn't give a rats arse!

Well it was put on the forum by Rikk...as I understand the situation, Rikk copied this conversation from MSN and then printed it here...

Nigel... originally it wasnt posted by BD.. today was just the reminder from BD to 7th that it HAD happened before and that nothing was done about it...

and personally, i think 7th is wrong...

Im an adult and i find that word unacceptable in an open forum where its known that people under 18 are posting and viewing...

and with that I&#39;d like to remind 7th and the gang that when it comes to Duty of Care, ignorance of the laws doesn&#39;t make them right&#33;

You KNOW that there are younger members here, and you have a Duty of Care to ensure that they are not exposed to that&#33; (and please dont tell me they hear it on the streets, because as ive said in a Duty of Care law case, it counts for nothing&#33

I am really sorry to see Billy Dean depart from this forum. Sadly in my opinon, Billies style of rebellion does not stay within the Forum rules as do a lot of the actions by some Mods who also go unpunished. Billy, I think can not stop his violent reaction to what he considers a wrong doing, that is his nature, we cant all react in the same way.

I do not think that resolving to foul language by ANY side in these arguments enhances the reputation of this Forum. I only hope that in future all members involved in these disputes would themselves stay within the Forum rules.

As I said I am sorry to see you leave Billy, you livened the Forum up, often when it was about to fall asleep. You will be missed by many. I am definately one of those many.

Goodbye friend, Se you in another place.

I love all this shouting about "Word Filters for Swear Words"




I remember when VB and I tried that one out. Didn&#39;t go down to well

"Why don&#39;t we burn some books while we are at it." "This is a violation of our basic right to freedom of speech&#33;" and so on.

Ok, but Lamsey, freedom of speech, or otherwise said "rights", go with responsibility. This community has rules...and when one joins to become a member, one accepts theses rules as well. This is the same as in any club....

You know, it&#39;s funny - I remember saying the same things at the time.
