Should I be banned.

Cast your vote. Seems that Others can say what they like and make outrageous claims so if you thnk I should be banned for presenting the othere side to some of the crappiest arguments and defending myself to snide remarks please vote yes. If you are not vote No. Since this is supposed to be a democratic and open forum I will let you all decide. If you decide yes I will never come back. No skin off my nose.

Paul

A statement & a question from me first Paul before I vote. We all cop our fair share here...look at me for instance, I nearly left because I felt I was being singled out for my spelling & grammar......what a joke!! look around in here to see all the spelling mistakes!!? I now have a dictionary next to me so I can 'spell' words in my threads properly.....just for the pedantics!!.....not me!

Wanna know why I stayed?? Cos' there's more nice people in here than WACKERS!! Forget the wackers Paul.

Do you WANT to leave?...That's my question.

No Rumples,

Delete this thread, you have added valuable input to the forum many many times.

So has Rob and many others. If it wasn't for people like you guys, us newbies can't learn much. I value all you guys opinions and ofcourse I weigh it up and go with what I think is suitable.
You've helped me with lots of info.

Don't lock yourself out, it's a free forum, your entitled to express your opinion mate.

I keep my mouth shut in here these days, compared to what I used to say when I first joined. I'm actually scared to give my 'opinion'...I felt exactly how Paul feels now. I only stayed because, like I said previously, theres more good dudes than wackers. 'The people that mind don't matter, & the people that matter don't mind'

I for one don't want you to leave Paul & vote NO to you being banned.

still think this thread should be deleted and we all move on, it is not doing the site any favours.

I hate negative stuff!!!

For the record, Paul has never been "on notice" or threatened with banning. This thread is simply a way of seeking attention.

This is not a democracy. It's certainly not a democracy when it comes to banning people. The moderators and admins are there to make the decision about whether someone needs banning. And for the record, noone has ever been banned.

I don't see why you're seeking attention about whether you should be banned. If you want to go, then go. If you want to stay, then stay. But everyone is subject to the same forum guidelines.

Having differences of opinion is fine. Defending those opinions with aggression is not fine. Paul you have to understand that your opinion is your opinion - not everyone will agree with it. If people choose to disagree, that's part of an open forum. Responding with aggression is not the solution.
