I think you're partly right rich.....fizzy has openly admitted that he is slightly jesting...to take his request of a ban literally is a step too far....but i see it more of a an expression of annoyance at some of the stuff banded about & there are others that feel the same.
& no i don't quite think people can just get away with saying what they like either...all this free speech nonsense & alright jack im doing what i want coz that's half the problem with todays society imo...rules exist & that's also something people need to learn to deal with......a ban is not a new concept....society deems driving dangerously can get you a ban from driving.....forums have rules and can introduce bans.
Someone saying should scotland be independant doesnt bother me.......saying those scottish bastards couldnt handle it does offend me......& to me it's that simple...a bit of respect and debate in a grown up manner.
Imo i think the police chat got to fizzy????....supposed to be a club with a good mix of folk....im not in the police but i know folk who are and i respect them just as much as i respect the local bin men.....on individual merit....so blanket statements dont do any favours....oh well maybe i shoulda just joined in on that convo then....actually i should have.....& i think from now on i will.
So actually here i was agreeing pro ban......& now after discussion i think foc it i'll get stuck in more
Oh & ban the beards talk....good idea....never trust a man with a beard
