686848 2008-07-11 01:00:00 Please explain something to me:

In a normal "civilised" debate, the mover gets two options to put his/her case. The seconder if he or she so wishes, can also get two bites.
Everyone else gets just one chance to put their case.

How come on this Board, Metla gets to bore us with his self-opinionated dribble every second or third post?

I ask again, shouldn't this forum be more aptly named "Metla's Way"? :( 		Zippity (58)

This isn't high school debating club. This is a free for all.

A lot of us like Metlas boring self-opinionated dribble. 		Thebananamonkey (7741)
686850 2008-07-11 01:06:00 Did I mention Winston made an excellent post?

:D

Lmao at your "two bites" claim, Is that an unwritten internet rule you just invented? A policy you have just imagined and are now demanding gets implemented worldwide?

That aside, If by popular choice we rename the board in my honour, I of course accept.:D:D:D

Mabe I should change my name to Carlito....


.....Carlito's Way has a nice ring to it. 		Metla (12)

This is a public forum, not a "civilised" debating room. As I think we can all see over the years here, the rules that apply here - notwithstanding the official rules which the mods try to enforce with common sense, rather than by the book - have more to do with stone age cavemen fighting over a side of beef than they do with civilised society.

And in that context, Metla is the alpha male. Hear him roar. 		Biggles (121)

686853 2008-07-11 01:29:00 Hahahahaha Bruce....... hear him roar..... lol he may be loud at times, but remember he also wears those pink slippers.....:p


and yes we are all entitled to opnions, sometimes we can even state facts and truth.... :D
Sometimes we need to read, and walk away. it is really neat to watch a good debate here, with facts, opinions and sometimes outragous ideas come to fore here,

but favouratism isnt rife here, and personal insults or remarks made that get personal are not well liked here.
if the thread, post or poster annoy you, ignore it, or walk away, none of us will ever win a war here, the mods have final say, so sometimes it isnt worth the effort to grump here, or if you feel the need to thats a good reason to PM someone.

i feel that there are some very valid points brought up in this thread, about violence in general, not just about, Veitch or tvnz. and if something doesnt happen about this story, the aspect of violence that may have been done, then our police and society is letting us down.

Violence isnt ok.
for the safety of our children and their future, we must get that across.

Everyone else gets just one chance to put their case.You are in for one heck of a rude shock if you think debates on PressF1 follow any prescribed debating rules. "Two bites" around here normally involves blood shed on the dance floor. Debates/discussions can be free flowing and free for all. As long as it doesn't involve personal attacks or other socially impolite things, it is left to run its course.

Now lets all be nice. 		Jen (38)
686855 2008-07-11 03:16:00 Thanks :)

Guess I will just have to leave the kiddies to play and move on to more intelligent reading :) 		Zippity (58)
686856 2008-07-11 03:48:00 Now lets all be nice.

Nice?? NICE?? Why should we start now??

I've given this much thought and ultimately concluded that Tony Veitch is a loathsome heap of parrot droppings and his painted cheeks are flabbier than an old ape's bottom! :lol: 		Winston001 (3612)
686857 2008-07-11 03:55:00 I'm pretty sure we don't have to be nice to Tony Veitch, Unless of course people are not in fact repulsed by his behaviour but just using the event as an excuse to attack the tall poppy, But to buy into that logic you would be making light of the heinous act he is "alleged" to have done, Metla (12)
