Two threads have already been locked because of a certain poster - and this one is probably going the same way.
Unfortunately there's always one who tries to throw a spanner in the works - but there's a simple way to solve that problem - ban them
Hi Polly,
many thanks, but i think you have missed my point. Surely one is allowed to debate or argue a point without resorting to locking a thread if it does not suit someones way of thinking?Or banning them as you suggest..The two locked threads you refer to concerned Savannah, but surely that is what the site is all about, chat and banter.I dont know Savannah, but I have read her posts on here, and cannot understand why they were locked.Locking a thread only causes a feeling of resentment.Some points were very valid, and i can see why she posted the things she did.I repeat, that is what a forum is all about, debate, and with debate you sometimes get arguments with it.
What i am refering to is the quite malicious verbal slanderous remarks being made by a certain person. and i,m not talking about Savanah, or indeed you. If it was me on the receiving end of these remarks , i would have taken legal advise before now..
Sure, if you think Savannah is causing trouble,it would be correct to take action, but surely not for arguing or debating a point .But to make it fair, why not ban the instigator as well. You dont need names,I,m sure you all know who i am refering to.
Still, its not my forum, or website, but if it were , i would not be so blinkered as not to stop the rot before it gets any worse.
I do hope dutchy lets me post this before he locks the thread, or bans me.
Tom
