i give back what I get dont abuse me and there will be no response from me I am not fat and I am fed up with being called fat by someone so obese thay can't walk I am not obese or overweight and its sickening to be abused in such a way all the time by someone who cant fit through a door.  Uploaded with ImageShack.us Buzz it is not your best photo....and it also appears to me that you posted it as a threat. |

If any youngsters are looking at the photo, always remove your eyeglasses before having a punch up.

Thanks Slarti and Sonex.
The ban has been lifted and Garfield is free to rejoin.

Garfield has always used colourfull language which in anycase is "claytons" swearing as no swear words are without **** ....its no big deal.
In the ol'days a vote was the norm on a ban.. whats wrong with that ..or is it a dictatorship..??

How did you get to know my first name..??...look at it this way Jody I have been a member of this board since its inception as a ninemsn board while you stayed at NOCC where as I recall you called me a flamer and told people not to respond to what I was posting at the time heralding the dangers of climate change talk to...given that history left me with the impression your a bit of a Princess but I don't let that cloud my judgment on matters concerning how this board is run ....essentially why should I leave because I simply question a moderators decision and she gets huffie about it...no skin of my nose who mods the board, what I am stating traditionally no matter what the heat of the kitchen, the swearing, denigrating and sledging the members had a say in who gets banned....if that is not in consideration with you or members so be it....I myself haven't broken the rules...and will continue to voice my opinion, and if you don't like it then you leave..  |

Spindrift, there is swearing and then there is abuse. I don't have problem with anyone swearing on here, it shows their mentality and if someone has to resort to swearing, they have already lost the argument.
But down and out personal abuse needs to be dealt with.

And not to mention stupid! What sort of a dork boxes in spectacles?? As Sonex has said, take them off before you have a punch up. But then he wouldn't be able to see his opponent, lol.
But how narcissistic is that image, yuk. Only Buzzock could think he looks intimidating. To the rest of us he looks like a flabby middle aged wanker.

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, I usually don't worry too much about swearing although I don't tend to swear much myself. However Garfield sometimes even shocked me and I don't shock easily. Although I never say anything I did think at the time that I wished he'd rein in that tendency to really let it rip. That sort of thing could get the board closed down again seeing as we're not a closed board. And even if we were, we have members aboard - or at least one member - who wouldn't hesitate to go to Proboards and complain. I guess there is always a lot of baiting on these boards not to mention abuse and I think that's part and parcel of these kinds of forums. You either return in kind or the more sensible option - ignore. Hard to to, I know. But all in all, Jody does a great job of moderating. It is a very difficult job and you have to be prepared to put a lot of time into it. There's so much childishness amongst some of the members and I wouldn't be surprised if they're constantly PMing the mods to whinge. I suppose the old saying, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, applies here. I think the mods try as much as they can to please everybody and the effort that takes must drive them barmy at times. |

Thanks Stellar....it is a thankless job that's for sure.
I haven't been too worried about anyone on the group going to proboards but we do tend to have a lot of guests at times. What you said about being shocked...well me too. There is little that shocks me and yes at times I have been gobsmacked at what has been said. Something had to be done.

He has a heater in the carport!!
Looking again at the pic ... is he trying to impress, intimidate or warn us off?
Or is it because he is such a poser?

I'm trying to be tactful here, but sorry Buzz, in that pic you are definitely fat around the middle.

If he's fat, then I'm obese. And I weigh about 85 kg at 6' tall.

Hello, I am back from anger management class now and ready to join in civilized discussion without the need to resort to abuse and I promise to refrain from swearing also. I also unreservedly apologise to anyone I may have upset by my actions  ps. ... my counsellor made me say all of this and I don't really believe a word of it ;D |
