Another not overly pleasant day on here, even though we've had a signing, even if not a particularly high profile one.
Despite its not particularly brilliant or insightful starting point the 'All these protesters' thread has rather got to the crux of one of the bigger issues at the moment.
There are a number of posters who, rather than engaging in debate on an issue - political, brexit-related usually - post an insult aimed at a group they disagree with or something deliberately inflammatory without having any intention of involving themselves in any actual debate. It's all got very snipey, not just at other users but in a wider sense, protesters being today's target.
The forum has always been a friendly, inclusive place, welcoming to all, a community. Disagreements and argument maybe, but for the most part there's been an underlying geniality and good humour, posters have helped one another out and looked out for one another. This does appear to be being undermined by the recent unpleasant undertone.
While we've always been the ones running the site, we've never sought to be overly dictatorial. We've often put matters relating to it to posters. I don't particularly like banning people (although we have banned one user as Gav had an investigate and discovered a long-banned user with a new name), I usually give posters more than enough warnings to give them ample chance to use the board in line with the manner in which most others post.
Should we be a bit more draconian in how we police this sort of thing? Getting a bit fed up with how the last few days have progressed. We've gone from abuse PMs being a rarity to them becoming frequent most days. Have had a fair bit going on away from TWTD lately and haven't really needed the additional unnecessary hassle.
Obviously the sort of nonsense outlined above needs to end or we will have to ban a few more users, but any thoughts on how else we can try to get things back to normal? |  | | |  |

QED.
Thanks for proving my point. Continue your childish downvoting games, the good denizens of TWTD will always have an uppie or two to spare for good old footers to redress the balance. |
What does QED mean anyway? |  |

Actually Phil asked for abuse and indiscriminate downvotes to stop - can’t see that my question contained either
Probably would have been far easier to have just held your hands up but clearly you’re welcome to ignore whoever you wish, it’s your ignore button after all |
You're deliberately trying to stir up trouble, which you do a lot of. That's what Phil has asked to cease. |  |

You don't speak sense either, but here we are.
Disappointing that the fractiousness has continued. Especially with it being a beautiful June morning out there. | |

Please, just go away. You have nothing of interest that I wish to hear. All you do is take snidey potshots at people. You used to be a decently average poster. No idea what's gone wrong for you but I hope it sorts itself out.
Phil has spoken, Benters has been informed his posting style is unwelcome. I've been told no such thing. You're aiming your flounce in the wrong direction.
Now, if you have an issue with that I suggest you take it up with Phil. |  |

Gladly, but I'm told you don't show up to arranged meetings so I'm not sure how we'd exchange literature | |

I think technically if three people are meeting and two of them are in one place then it's the third one who didn't show up. |  |

Indeed. When I get to my laptop I shall post a photo of my vantage point, once and forever proving that I was where I claim to be. | |

Flounce? You may want to look closer to home on that one...

Especially when I posted my ticket for all to see. More than happy to do it again.
Please stop accusing me of lying, pickles.
Let's just draw a line on the hatchet and bury the sand, shall we? [Post edited 7 Jun 2019 12:13]

It - and your general fractiousness towards other people - really has to stop or you won't be welcome on here any more. |
What do you mean it?
If it makes you feel better ban me then.
You are a bigger mug than I thought if you can’t see who the trouble makers on this board are.
Do me and yourself a favour delete my account. [Post edited 7 Jun 2019 12:52]
