| 1328357 | 2013-02-19 20:53:00 | What ever happened to that good old fashioned virtue of taking something on the chin? When someone says something you don't like, why not walk away or agree with them? I like that anti-drink driving ad on TV at the moment. The guy suggests that someone is too drunk to drive - "Why don't you crash here?" The driver thinks for a moment then simply says "OK". (I bet Pistorius is wishing he had taken things on the chin) |

| 1328358 | 2013-02-19 21:04:00 | The truth has never been a defence - if you call someone a personal insult, even if it's true, it will get deleted . If you tell someone where there are warez, and its true, it will be deleted . You agree to a variety of rules when you sign up for this forum, and if your "truth" is against forum rules, you get moderated . As always, I'm shocked that some of the same people who were trying to get a thread about a small business person deleted, despite its truth, are now arguing the opposite position . Fortunately, the moderators are not quite so fickle . Political correctness is not a rule in this forum, you'll be pleased to know, and none of the moderators enforces it as if it were . Anyone suggesting otherwise is incorrect . So what you are saying is that by assuming the title of “Admin” it entitles you to suppress the truth in favour of your own ideals . Given that most of the “Truths” posted here stem from your Parent Company “Fairfax” I wonder how they feel about your policies? Personal insults fall into the category of opinion, and are certainly not necessarily the truth . That is why they are restricted in most orderly debate, even Parliament . As for this part of your Post: As always, I'm shocked that some of the same people who were trying to get a thread about a small business person deleted, despite its truth, are now arguing the opposite position . Fortunately, the moderators are not quite so fickle . I have no idea what you are talking about . I have never asked for any Post to be deleted . Maybe you would care to explain . |

Re: Personal insults: that's why I said "even if it's true", not that it was necessarily true. :) If you have a problem with the policies I am enforcing, you're welcome to issue a complaint to my manager or the CEO. I'd be more than happy to supply their contact details. Our lawyer would like to see our policies more in line with those of Stuff Nation, which doesn't permit commentary on political or contentious issues. I think the most likely outcome would be that they close the chat forums. This is not a revenue-raising portion of the business. B.M., I apologize if it sounded like I was mischaracterising you. A recent thread where a woman complained about the service from a car company received a number of complaints and calls for deletion, some from those in this thread. If you didn't complain, it wasn't referring to you. I did say "some of the same people", not "all of the same people", you might note. |
