Of course I do. You do realise I can offer my opinion on them, right? Ignorant of what? No need for petty insults. You've accused me of being childish at least a half dozen times by now and you want to complain about petty insults? Are you kidding me? Did Ada loan you her lack of self-awareness on her way out of here? Yeah, it wasn't a petty insult. It was an honest opinion/assessment of that behaviour, with my rationale explicitly detailed. You may have noticed I freely admitted to being guilty of it myself in another instance?

Im sorry, you have not understood my argument. Then you presented it poorly. I disagree, i just dont think you have read back far enough, and I dont expect you to have. I have repeatedly said things indicating the rules should be followed. Like: In that same above post from the admin, he tried to make up something about me to make a point about being lied about, and below i discussed how id respond along with again referring to rules being followed. That should be enough examples. Ok, so I think I made it pretty clear that the rules should be followed, and that being banned for more minor transgressions isnt the best idea. It was not poorly presented. Your point about following the laws/sports rules means you missed my point, but id say its just because those posts were a bit far back.

puvo : Ok, fair enough. But in this case, I am ok with the ban. The problem with the ignore function is that using it makes the threads unreadable if others keep replying to the ignored poster. So it's not really an option. I have also suggested in the past that the best way to deal with that particular poster would be not to reply to her. Others saw it differently; who am I to tell them they are wrong? And of course, these threads are bumped to the top and clog the board. But I still maintain that reporting a poster for poisonous behavior is not childish. Especially if the poster in question is awful to almost everyone. When you go to a pub, and another patron howls insults at other guests and spits in their drinks: Do you find it childish to have this guest removed by security, instead of throwing this patron outside by yourself?

Haha, I also said "A good argument might have been that even blocking her, posts replying to her broke down the thread too much, but I haven't seen a single person make that claim.", and now you've ruined it. But it certainly is an option, just not one you deem to be going far enough. With regard to poisonous behaviour, I just guess i'm not afraid of ideas, and it doesn't affect me much. I don't find someone being awful to everyone a big deal to overcome. I realise these are my opinions, and shouldn't apply to everyone. At some stage people need to toughen up a bit though. These are words on the internet you are choosing to read, in a place you are choosing to be. Do you get what I mean? With regard to the Pub analogy: I live in Australia, that is absolutely against the rules, and the patron gets thrown out immediately. Pretty hard core security staff here. There are really strict rules to curb alcohol related violence here, and I agree with most of the rules. There is some other fairly major differences too. First, with the risk of escalation to immediate physical violence, I'd have no problem alerting the person paid to take on that risk. There isn't that risk here online. Second I cant just fold them closed, and go have a shower like I'm about to do, or change a setting and have them all but wink out of existence. Now, would I tell the security staff someone was telling lies about me, making arguments supporting terrorists etc and expect them to be kicked out? No I wouldn't. Would you?

I didn't think they used ZIP codes in England. I wonder why her autocorrect would have changed IP to ZIP. Or maybe it's just my imagination....running away with me. Yes, another ear-worm. They use codes but they are absolutely not called zip codes! Her computer or device is in the USA, and presumably so is shr Post codes in the UK.

But the admins here have explained why they won't tolerate this kind of behavior: If the insulters get away with it, then the decent posters might leave, and the only posters left are those who troll. The admins run this place; they set the rules. Just like a pub landlord who wants a friendly environment will remove obnoxious guests. If they don't, the obnoxious ones will be the only guests. But maybe we just have to agree to disagree.

But maybe we just have to agree to disagree. Sure thing. Though I do agree the mods get to set their own rules, I'd never stay in a place where they were too precious to have them challenged! Fortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case here. Unfortunately, it'll probably get pretty boring, pretty quick. We shall see. Out of interest, would you be with the hypothetical college protestors trying to stop right wing speakers from speaking at your college, or would you be against them?

Why do you use the name somebody might have used on the old IMDb board, but throw a snit fit if anybody uses the one you once used there? Because I had stopped using that name long ago and because he deserves to be identified. You admitted that you were using the name Ada just last year. I myself saw the ID was active and posts made from it in the latter part of the year. Why do you not deserve being identified with your old name, since you think it is justified for somebody else?

Looks like Aduh (Afeena) was also banned. What'd she do? She (I) got banned for saying she isn't Ada. Apparently that constitued lying, so Aj-june banned me. At least that's what he said in his message. Oh is that what it is? It had nothing to do with your weird sociopathic behavior and constantly accusing people of being homosexuals?

But true to form she lied to me right out of the gate in a post.

So now I have to prove something? I think you misunderstood my point. I don't like Ada. She's annoying as hell. We disagree on nearly every single thing. I just don't understand why people we don't like need to be banned because we don't like them. But I did just read your post about her lying about you and the mods. I can see how that would be an issue... But still if you guys stopped constantly arguing with her about off topic stuff, unrelated to religion, then maybe it wouldn't be such a problem. It's like responding to a little brat that tells you to shut up. And then you say "no you shut up". And they say "You shut up". And it goes on for 20 minutes (or in this case, weeks). Everyone is just throwing gasoline on the flame. I am responding because she is lying about me. I am one of the most brutally honest people I know have been most of my life and even more so on the boards where it is very easy to call someone on their BS. To me that is defamation of my character and I won't have it. She chose to respond to me. I was not engaging with her. She is a very lonely late middle aged woman whose family seem to see her only occasionally prompting her to post over 1500 posts in approx 54 days. Life is only her way or the wrong way and she sees no shades of grey or compassion for anyone. It's hypocritical, certainly not Christian and pretty despicable. She he is now lying that I am in the USA because my iPad auto correct IP to zip because I didn't use capitals. The woman lives in a fantasy world of her own making. How is that even lying? She questioned your location and made an accusation based on something stupid. She's likely wrong but how the hell is that even a lie? She makes a lot of assumptions, and says a lot of stupid things, but it seems like everyone literally flips out and over-reacts. Again, this entire thread is basically an "ada is a bitch" callout thread (practically every post in here is arguing with her), egging her on even further, and we're all just expecting that someone with her personality says "alright, yall are right! Sorry!" and never brings it up again. She's banned so it doesn't matter, but to me, despite her terrible bitchy attitude and silly accusations and "lies", she really didn't do anything to deserve a ban. That's just my opinion though. I'm not the boss here.
