    And this is enough to be banned? This place is going to be very quiet before long.

    I wouldn't have banned him. But ryhill tyke took exception to it, as his prerogative I suppose.

    I saw someone refer to smelly pakis in another thread the other day. He wasn't banned. Strange place this at times.

    Its pathetic really. Like I said if we're going to start banning people for a bit of name calling then this board will be a very quiet place.

    Give over, in my opinion he overstepped the mark, I left it to site admin as to what they thought.

    That's entirely your prerogative but I just feel that banning people for name calling is a bit much. If this standard was applied consistently then there will be a lot more people banned.

    I'd guess most folk wouldn't say stuff to people's faces that they do on here. Maybe more more folk is the way forward.

    Is this a younger generation thing because I personally, and people I know of my age, would never say anything on the internet that they wouldn't say to the person if they were in the pub.

    Me neither, but clearly enough on here just think they can say what they like

    I'm 55 and I wouldn't say anything on the internet I wouldn't say to their face, yer lovely person ! only kidding.

    I have met conan a few times he can be a little intense but he's very articulate and a decent chap.

    He's a miserable moaning fercker on here but as his mate is Redstar that may explain a lot !

    You know what you're getting with Conan but I always find his posts interesting even if I don't always agree with him.

    It's not so much the name calling, as the word he used. The word refers to people with a disability/illness and can be deemed highly offensive.

    Its not a nice word but wouldn't a warning have been more appropriate? Anyway its not my board, I don't make the decisions and I respect those that do, I just wish there was consistency. Like a referee I suppose.
