Members of forums in my country are now citing this one as the worst

Even if this newsgroup could be converted into a moderated one, surely
it wouldn't be the purpose of a moderator to prevent moaning? A
moderator's job is normally seem as being to reject abusive and
off-topic posts, and moaning about the weather doesn't fall under either
of those categories..

The group must be doing something right if New Zealanders are so
interested in it.

If we had moderators (perish the thought; moderation is ruining other
sites by stifling discussion and imposing artificial moralities which
now exist only on those sites, via the collective minds of the
moderators) you would have perished Tudor. The calling of another
contributor a c*** would have initiated an automatic ban on every
weather forum on the Internet except for this ng. If you persist in
your innuendo, you must expect to be reminded of your failings.- Hide quoted text -

I can easily understand your viewpoint Mr Hughes!- Hide quoted text -

You know, I just knew it wouldn't be the last thing you had to say!

You were challenenged and found wanting, by several people. You have a
track record of being mildly abusive and yet you now wish to take a
moral standpoint. You purport to speak for a nation, then try to speak
for "a few" on a distant website when really, the views are your own.
You've been outed. Hold up your hands and say "uncle". Siding with
another known abuser won't help you.

I doubt whether an appeal to TH will be your last word either, but
toys and prams may be the next step..............
