What did he do? Given what he posts, it must have been particularly raucous for such drastic action...

He got into a Tizz when I suggested that rather than not Tax the rich (which seems to be his ambition) we need the rich to pay taxes so that we could fund his DSP.

No one had anything to do with it except Garfield. I had given him warnings over the past weeks....the abusive swearing was way over the top. I have had to delete and modify many posts. I DON'T ban people unless they deserve it.....so please lets just leave it at that.

Garfield does have 'potty fingers' at times and has been warned often - I accept that - but it appears to me the bloke's been wound up this time to the point where he's been banned. If only people could learn to turn off their computers occasionally and walk.... both sides of the argument!

Agreed Volk. There are a few "baiters" on this forum who go out of their way to cause trouble.

Sorry to tell you but what went on in that thread was only a small reason as to why he was banned. Hopefully he will graciously accept his banning and that his behaviour was too OTT and if and when he does rejoin, he will know to curb his way of expressing himself.

I never saw the thread because I don't read all of them. So I missed all the dramas. But I think Garfield can push the envelope at times. Hopefully he'll tone it down in future because he can be very witty and amusing when he wants to be.

agreed, there are times he can make me LOL......just a shame he has to push it too far. Old Banjo used to be the same way.

Ahhh yes, Banjo, but he really did have style when he was in his hayday, which was about the time I started on the board..His literary skils were wlel honed, but he did, as time wore on, get taken by the grape and lash out, but it was generally directed towards obvious idiots from the right...

Well I wouldn't have a clue why Garfield was banned.
Whatever it was for, I obviously missed it, or it was in a thread I haven't opened and read.

Agreed, Stellar. Interesting that too much swearing (who cares?) will lead you to a 'holiday' but baiting people and insinuating they are on the Disability Pension isn't.
Whatever happened to Banjo btw? Is he still alive?

Salem READ THE RULES.
Please consider proboards rules when posting threads and messages. We realise that these rules are quite stringent and no human can be expected to follow them to a T and still be able to maintain free speech, however membership can at least make an effort to keep abuse, swearing, racism and bigotry to a minimum. Admin and moderators will delete or modify whatever is deemed inappropriate. Please also understand that Admin and Mods do this in their spare time. They have lives and will get to issues and complaints when they are able. Thank you in Advance for your cooperation.
Now considering all this which is very friggin lenient...I think I was more than tolerant with Garfield. If you don't like the way i run this board, you are always free to leave.

I'll also add that this board is an open board where anyone can take what anyone here says direct to Proboards. I would allow far more if this was a closed board but the majority of membership want it kept open.

Be reasonable. abuse, swearing, racism and bigotryIf we go by the above, Richo/Freddy/huntergibson's posts (virtually all of them) should have been deleted, too. I've seen some truly foul, abusive and bigoted posts from Freddy, Pim and others that should have been deleted and earned a holiday based on the above qualifications. If you start using the tos as a yardstick, 8 out of 10 posts on here would earn someone a holiday. That is all I'm saying. I consider swearing to be minor COMPARED to *abuse* and *bigotry*. Your priorities are wrong.

Salem.. I am the mod and you're not.....you can't comment on all Garfields posts as so many were deleted or modified before anyone had a chance to see them....so you have no idea of what was actually said.....I have only ever seen two others behave this way on these boards and neither are on this board thank heavens. You are commenting as a right winger who has a beef against the left. I am an apolitical mod who couldn't care less who is on what side...I delete what I see as not being appropriate for this group....my choice. I have modified and deleted post from both sides.....so far Garfield is the only one to have taken it way too far. Now I did not post this thread to defend my position and I won't be anymore. I posted it simply wanting to let membership know decisions made etc....I am an honest person and wanted to let membership know what happened. I have, it is over, the ban will be lifted tomorrow. enough said.
