Pretty feeble effort if you ask me.

There is no middle ground, apparently......

Well if he was going to attack any Fanboy it should have been me because i won the Fanboy of the year award last year not Rammy

I think that newbies tend to get treated more strictly than say established posters but as I always say a newcomer

I don't see why anyone really needs to know exactly why the mods acted here, the guy came here, acted like a cunt, got banned, end of story, move along.


On the point of newbies being treated more strictly than old hands, I would have thought it the opposite way round, you give a newbie some leniency, and try to guide them to be a better contributor, whereas an old hand should really know better already.

That point then raises a question. As someone who has been vocal on the subject of people over-quoting in posts, I can't help wondering why you felt the need to quote the original post in yours. It added nothing, you could have raised your points perfectly adequately without the quote, and as mentioned, we know you hate over-quoting!
So, was there another agenda here? Was the quote just a veiled attempt to have your own pop at Rammy by repeating and perpetuating the original comments, safe behind the excuse, 'wot guv, me guv, no guv, i didn't mean nuffing guv, I was just repeating wot the other bloke said guv, honest guv'!

Simple really, the OP was banned by a mod who didn't have permission to edit or remove posts from the Chatbox centre. By the time a mod with permission logged on lots of replies had been made so it was all moved to the Twilight zone instead

perhaps this year there should be an award for "Best Fanboy of Rammy" : his posts seem to be subjected to such a level of forensic debate and comment that I can only suspect that hundreds of years from now it will be a rich field for media studies scholars as they struggle to understand just how and why he attracted such eager examination of his every pronouncement from everybody else.
