Good Morning Dee,



I will try to offer some constructive critiscm for you, please take it in that context.



1. Have you sorted out which of you is using the Dee name. A couple of weeks ago you said both of you were. You must have individual log ins.



2. Something that you are appear to be regularly guilty of is attacking the poster not the post. To elaborate you tend to start shouting as soon as MM or Pt Pike post purely because it is them. Please think about what you respond to.



3. Do not use the playground defence, they said it to me first etc!!!!



4. Everyone has a right to an opinion as long as it is posted in a positive and none threatening way. For example I believe your view on Israel is correct, but change the wording be Assertive not Aggressive.



Most are here for the same reason, exchange of opinion, banter and a bit of fun. The majority also do not set out to insult others.



Well done for asking the question, hope you are prepared to take advice etc.

As an impartial observer I would say that you are by far and away the rudest person on here. That is why.

Dee...are you that desperate for attention that you have to start threads about yourself?



Stop all this victim mentality....it's getting boring.



The rest of us manage to fit in within the rules....what's so special about you?

Perhaps you should ask the moderators to close this thread, before you end up with too many friends.

Dee as a casual observer, and in my own opinion, I feel that your views can sometimes provoke a reaction, I always thought you did it on purpose, on the other hand we have never had a run in because if I see a thread that I don't want to get involved in, I will move on to another, maybe certain people should do the same?

Britvic I do enjoy a challenge but having to put up with insults and then being moderated when I react is not a challenge, it is down right wrong...I am happy to have my views challenged, that makes for good debate and I welcome that, I have no problem with those that disagree with me.

Irishwrath, I do not consider my views and those disagreeing with me a rod for my own back, if I did I would not continue to post...What I want is a level playing field when it comes to moderation...

"Anthony rude I may at times be, but never ever smarmy, I am direct...and my opinions are strong, that does not give anyone the right to be rude to me unless I am rude to them first..I hope you take that on board..."



So, the logic of that is that while no one can be rude to you first you are awwlowed to be rude to them first thus giving them permission to be rude to you in return.



Why is that? If it is OK you you to be rude first why is it not OK for them to be rude first?

Please reconcile?



"Can one of the moderators please explain to me why some posters can be rude to me unheeded but when I retaliate, my posts are moderated.."



and



"Anthony rude I may at times be, but never ever smarmy, I am direct...and my opinions are strong, that does not give anyone the right to be rude to me unless I am rude to them first..I hope you take that on board..."



and



"I am happy to have my views challenged, that makes for good debate and I welcome that, I have no problem with those that disagree with me."



It seems to me that you are confused

dee,



please listen to what I have said. Yes this person is trying to annoy you that is obvious. What their motive is I do not know and I do not want to trawl back to see what you have said to them. Believe me when I say you are not alone in being targeted by individuals for no apparent reason. I found it happening on any thread, no matter what I said there are acouple of idiots who will attack me. In general I have learnt but no and again loose it. these people are not worth the time of day.



I would stop this thread now, you have made your point and hopefully the mods will have noted.



Bit like turn the other cheek now, except stop replying in your case.



If you are being genuine in your asking the initial question, back off, let the dust settle off this thread and move on. You can be, and are a valuable member of this forum.

Hi Dee,



who has been rude to you? (don't think it is me)



Can't think why they would be rude.



Maybe it's something you said. lol



Thanks.

3. Be Polite

We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously. We do not tolerate any rudeness. Challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully without insult and personal attack. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning.





Take note:



This rule applies to everyone except Dee.
