We need a mod

[Dave Baumann]

Sorry, been a little busy and forgot about a PM John sent me prior to his holiday.

JVD and Sonic are now mods for the forum, seeing as they were of the few that volenteered!

 

[Ozymandis]

Congrats you two

Congrats indeed

As Tahir explained, there is nothing wrong with expressing opinions. Chap is entitled to it, no matter how many agree. There is something wrong, however, with the hollow personal attacks some members cast at others, and that's the behavior that needs to be moderated.

Expressing an unpopular opinion (and opinions are exactly what we debate here, not facts) is fine if it can be done respectfully and constructively with a supportive argument. There is nothing immature about that. When other people can't tolerate a differing viewpoint and fail to argue it in a civil manner, that's the immature part.

Nayyyy, it is the usual close minded posters who cant take criticism about their preferance.

 

[Phil]

Chap, obviously those "close minded posters" significantly outnumber you - seing that you are in the minority, why don't you just acknowledge their view instead of fighting against it? It certainly would do much more good than your current strategy of fighting a loosing battle that will ultimately get you banned for sure. Just a word of advice.

 

[chaphack]

Why should i acknowledge something im not comfortable with? There is no battle to lose, i have spoke my mind and will continue to do so. I dont see anything wrong with that.

Im sure the mods are sensible enough to judge who is in the right, who is not. And based on my current posts, im confident i will survive in this place for a good while.

 

[London Geezer]

oh god... still here....

 

[chaphack]

oh god... still here....

Of course. Why should i be gone? 8)

Again, nobody wants to ban chap for his opinion. The widely acknowledged problem is how he is expressing his opinion.

One of many examples

Here you go chap

Guessed that was too much of an adrenaline rush back then.

As i said, i have toned down considerably. My posts for the last few months are pretty down to earth AFAIK.

Yes I admit, I am "close minded" to improper behavior. And BTW I didn't even voted in that 60/40 poll.

 

[chaphack]

That was like sooo last year ago.

I think im working towards a more acceptably expressive attitude nowadays.

 

[marconelly!]

Anyways, I have decided that from now on, I simpy will not answer on any of Chap's inflammable / trollish attempts.

YEP... came to that conclusion long ago... its just that sometimes its so hard to resist.......

Well the only thing i wont stand for is cursing . Some words are alright like crap. I will let u use that . But nothing else. Lets try and keep this section pg rated , a little pg 13. If u guys think a post should be locked let me know and i will look through it and see if it needs to be locked. Um.... Oh yea no attacks against another person. Debate the topic and the opinions . Don't call names. I'm not a fan of chap myself but i wont stand for posts that call him or anyone else dumb or what not. Its just not right and we should all be beyond that .
