As you well know, there was a line drawing thread on here which mysteriously vanished.

Possibly as a result of alien activity.

Line drawing thread ? Maybe they could start one on your new board to end personal abuse of my good friend Big Dad G and Ted

I’m not aware of any personal abuse.

I am aware of people getting offended on others behalf’s though.

Go on, I’ll let you have the last word this time 🙊🤷‍♂️😁

Possibly the debate about Oti getting banned is now
just about run its course , however the the
"politics and current affairs " platform seems to
have stagnated since the wicked "Flashman" has
been expelled , he could certainly stir things up,
but also stimulate debate , I personally miss him,
although not agreeing with most of his opinions.

Considering his health issues , I honestly believe
it would be a decent gesture to reinstate the man
to the forum , maybe he could issue an apology to
the members he has upset with his comments. I am
not in any way trying to bash the admins, but
surely the forum could show some compassion to
a seriously ill man.

Given the way he's posted about this "in the other place" he clearly feels no need to apologise or even accept why people may have been offended. He's doubled down on his doubling down, so no apology would ever be forthcoming. So it's all moot anyway.

You've let it get to you Big man. 
It's become personal, as was my unwarranted yellow card.

It's not moot at all - that's just your own excuse for not accepting other peoples views and opinions on the state the forum currently finds itself in.

That's not arguing with you.

There's only one person here looking for an argument, and it's not me. You're starting to sound like a jilted lover, that's all I'm saying.

Mate.

I haven't posted for a week, and when I do, you respond within minutes.

My post was directed at an administrator as well, so you have no reason whatsoever to get involved.

Jog on.

You haven't posted for a week, because you fell foul of the rules (and by the way, that was nothing to do with me - just so we're clear), and the first thing you do is leap on this thread to try to antagonise and stir up trouble. Again. It doesn't matter a jot who you're firing your arrows at, the intention is the same.

For the sake of some sort of peace and equilibrium, might I humbly suggest that you be the one to jog on - you've got your own little play-pen, your own personal fiefdom - so there's no need to come on here and try to inflame things any further. If you had anything constructive, worthwhile or entertaining to contribute - your first post since your ban wouldn't be on here, and of that nature - would it?

[Chips Longhorn]

Are you suggesting Melvyn is an "agent provocateur " Hikkas ? ;-)

[Teddington Ted]

Hi Mel, welcome back 👋

Good to see your board doing well, barely 2 weeks old and you’ve already reached the right wing pinnacle of having posts saying how everything was better in 1944 and holding up Rod Liddle as a man to be followed.

Obviously, none of said posters were alive in 1944 and Liddle (an unapologetic racist who managed to leave his wife whilst actually on honeymoon with her, to return home to his pregnant mistress whom he assaulted) hasn’t stood in the way of their admiration.

Bored?? Don't be daft. 

Anyway, Otiums apology that ....  "he clearly feels no need to apologise or even accept why people may have been offended."


Would you mind if I posted this link up, it's a link to a post made by Clark W Griswald on Otiums behalf on July 17th - about 3 weeks back.

downatthemac.proboards.com/post/2876153

You can click on the link for the full text but in it he says....

"No law has been broken by ME and if i have caused any offence then i am sorry."


Now, to me, that looks like somebody apologising, not somebody who feels they have no need to apologise....

So, lets look at it factually. 

The majority of people who expressed an interest wanted Otium back.
You have applied the rules inconsistently in order to protect people from the rules - while enforcing the rules against other posters - the "Draw the line" thread still hasn't re-appeared. Was it accidentaly deleted / moved, or was it intentionally moved as it was incriminating to this effect?
You are quite clearly demonstrating a personal prejudice against certain posters, while giving others leeway - I've reported several posts to "test the system" in the last 36 hours, no action taken - why?
The forum is poorer without Otiums contributon, you know it is, but I doubt you'd be prepared to admit it.
Your accusations of Otium "Doubling down", are misplaced, the only person doubling down is you, as I've just proven with the fact that you stated he won't apologise, when he already has done, infact almost immediately - despite not actually being able to post on the forum to make an apology.
You've moved ALL the threads with regard to his banning to a sub forum where you clearly hope people won't contribute and the matter will blow over, and now, when you are being taken to task over your inconsistent administration of the forum, you are making light of what for one individual, is a very important and pressing situation.

Either step it up, or step down.

[Teddington Ted]

I was never a big fan of the sub-board transfer bit but if it yanks Mel’s chain this much I’m all for it.

You’re going a great job Big G.

I can't speak about posts reported in the last 36 hours, as I'm on holiday. The other two admins are in control, but I have said they can contact me if they have any split decisions.

As for Oti's apology, it's entirely at odds with what he's posted over on the other forum, where he's expressed only scorn and ridicule for the idea that anyone might be offended. His alleged apology here rings entirely hollow when he says otherwise in your new playground.

Dismissed in moments.

Exactly as I expected.

He apologised, that is fact. You have ignored that apology, that is fact. 

It's a thumbs down from Mel.

Enjoy your holiday.

By implication your forum is much the richer for Otiums contributions. I'm sure he's enjoying himself on there so why are you still whingeing on here?

[Gag_N_Bone_Man (Destabiliser)]

Apologies mean nothing if they aren't sincere, Mel.

And yes, dismissed instantly.

The decision was made. The decision was final. You disagreed enough to set up another forum. Yet you keep bringing it up here.

You know the decision won't be revised. Yet you keep bringing it up.

It's done and dusted. A fait accompli. A closed case. Yet you keep bringing it up.

99% of people are prepared to move on. Yet you keep bringing it up.

It's fine. Go ahead. I'm perfectly happy to keep reminding you that you're wasting your time. We all know how you feel. You're adding nothing new. No new compelling evidence. Jo new compelling argument. But keep bringing it up. It won't change anything in relation to Oti's situation. I'm not sure he even really wants it to be changed, as he's clearly in his element while his acolytes blow smoke up his fundament on the other forum.

You've got your new playground now, where Enoch can play racist bingo and where every now and again you can all.enjoy having a pop at me from afar. Water off a duck's back. And all the while nothing here will change.

The only sources of conflict now on DATM are spitting image puppets and you beating on about Oti like a man who's forgotten that he has his own forum to do it in.

Written from my hot tub/sex pond, beer in hand.

Cheers

[Chips Longhorn]

Mel.are you OK? You seem to be having a breakdown or something. You got banned for a week . Join the club .. I felt a little peeved also when it happened to me.. but life goes on . If you don't want to get banned permantly you won't do whatever you did to get the ban OVER AND OVER again . That's the definition of stupid. Nick did it . Otium did it . The board is worse off for not having them imo . But they have no one else to blame. Absolute fools to themselves

‘Twats’ doesn’t need an apostrophe as it is simply the plural of twat. Therefore, the educated would deduce that your inclusion of one could only be as substitute for a letter in the way your use of @ & # was.

So T - - - s could correctly spell ‘twats’, or twits. Either way, it is a five letter word in the plural form. No other interpretation is grammatically possible.

I’d guess your reporting of being called thick as mince was ignored as the admins agreed with me that you are, a point you’ve proved again quite clearly in this reply.

Great observation, however, I never called you a tw@t, which is what triggered you to call me thick as mince, which you have just re-stated, despite me making it quite clear that the abusive comments directed at me are being reported

Let's see if the admins have the cahoonas to apply the rules which are quite clear here. 


Aggression/flaming

Personal aggression towards other members - it is perfectly acceptable to disagree with the contents of post in a passionate way, but please refrain from abusing the poster himself/herself. This is not acceptable.

Also, you might want to let the admins speak for themsleves rather than suggesting they have derogotary views about other posters on the forum.

Opinions which are based on your actions.

If I said all the admins think Teddington Ted is a twat, without any evidence to support it, then it'd be out of order.


There is a marked difference.
