Well, let's put this down to another point we have differing views on. No problems.
I know that I did not step over the line in any of my posts, but all those who were banned did. I did not see Bora or kanelli go as extreme as BM et al did either.
But of course, I admit I am biased on this point as I was at the receiving end of much of the insults.
Cheers,
Shafique

I agree I was in the thick of the discussions - but you know I don't back down easily, and yet within the torrent of posts, I didn't cross the line in my mind.
I disagree with your view that Andy only bans based on reports - or on when the posts are reported. Given that all those who were banned were previously suspended, it would indicate to me that it is behaviour of the posters that is to blame.
But hey - let's agree to disagree. Those that were banned can obviously post if they choose, and can choose to post in a way that won't get them banned. eh survived for a long time, but recently went over the top with 'satanic cults' and joined in with the personal insults which had nothing to do with forum posts.
