Default anyone else been banned from TWO FORUMS

Actually Will, looking back I may have taken your post somewhat out of
context? Hope so anyway but the lack of smilies on this stupid newsgroup
doesnt help matters. I like to think that we have had decent, if rare
contact since we had our row and whilst I may sometimes disagree with your
comments, I don't recall seeing any that were abusive at all, as you
suggest.

Just to reiterate though, you were not nearly banned.

Some people seem to think I make the banning decisions on TWO. I don't. They
are a team decision, I just tend to be more vocal than some of my more
refined colleagues, who have the sense to keep a low profile usually :-p

The derogatory comments on here about TWO mean nothing to us anyway. It's
always the same people, with the same tired old arguments. The forum is
strong and succesfull and whilst I can understand that some of the threads
or comments on there are not to your taste, your input on there is looked
out for i'm sure.

Anway, back to the job of co-demon, banning more poor undeserving members
from the hell hole of TWO ------ sarcasm ;-)

As far as i know you must kiss the a**** of the mods!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That shows how little you know.
This is an unmoderated newsgroup.

What makes you think people here want to read about the petty
squabbles happening on another forum?

Col, most seem to be people who have been banned from TWO forum for some
reason
and hence have big axes to grind.

About a year ago I nearly got banned myself :-O for argueing
(scientifically)
with "big Matty H" (he likes that description :-)). Problem for the mods
was
that my arguments were slowly winning people over and there was a danger
that
the group could split. But to be honest, life is too short and I just
didn't
have the energy or the time to keep up the discussion. Matt and I had an
e-mail
discussion and we resolved our differences in an adult way. I must also
say that
at no stage did I personally insult or threaten anyone, I would never
stoop
*that* low.

Off to watch the footie now, bring on the Dutch ... he he he

Cheers,

Will.
