But what does bother me is people pressing to have people banned for how theyre perceived and confusing deliberate trolling with insensitivity. Particularly given that perceptions once formed are very hard to shift. Clearly no-ones thinking it will ever happen to them   |
i dont believe that its a perception problem, i believe that m paton, goes out of his way to deliberately enflame a situation, hes done it in the past and he'll continue to disrupt the happy balance of the community while ever hes allowed to continue to sprout sh!te,
i also hold the view that you cant just ban people for getting up the noses of others, but as ive said i dont think this is a miss interpretation of his views, or even a lack of tact, i think hes been considered in his responses and deliberately pushes it.
i also understant the comparisons to visordown, yes the trolling on visordown is extreme, but thats why any trolling here is recieved so badly, as were a much smaller forum than visordown and most of the peeps on here are not exposed to the constant abuse that is allowed to prosper on that site.
i think that if we allow trolling on the basis that its not that bad compared to X, then this site will be a much worse place.
