I recently referred to G Adams as a "moronic jackass". I did nothing more than state a simple fact that should be obvious to all thinking persons present.

But, the moderator has told to refrain from such "insults". Seeing as how this board does not operate on the principle of freedom of speech, I have no choice but refrain from any further presence here.

This board is about debate. Heated debate. Not insults. This board has always had rules, that are visible from the moment you join up. Not insulting other members is fairly high on the list - and you are not the only person to have been warned about this. Others, however, have the maturity to take those warnings on board and adjust their behaviour accordingly.

If you wish to leave, so be it.

Maybe you didn't see the hyperlinks to the rules or the comic strip style guide above the box where you reply but here it is again incase you're selectively blind.

Oh poor baby, we all feel for you. NOT!

If you have to insult someone, that means you have nothing to debate with and as such, shouldn't post in the first place. The moderator was right on IMO.

Well, that's 2 votes to nil in my favour...all good!
