Are you trying to impose on me what I can and can't suggest
Maybe we should get a mod who can find the time to actually mod UK P&P closely...
Welcome back DubversionDubversion said:with all due respect, your good level of debate is normally sub-literate, incomprehensible circular drivel.
sorry.
Whilst I agree a clearing of the air might lead to some consolidation and agreement that some of the anti-RESPECT threads are not contributing to debate as are some RESPECT threads.... Serious moderation pleasenos said:

Can I use that as a referencenosos said:How could you survive a week abroad knowing that Nate was busy working away on increasing the net level of humour, wit and intelligence on urban. Personally, I couldn't spend time sitting on a beach in the sun with my partner knowing that a genius of such an impressive degree - such a man only comes along once in a generation - was studiously working for the benefit and enjoyment of his adopted online community. The frustration would drive me mad!
When Respect fail in the election it'll all quieten down again on that front.
Flinging my handbag? I think I have raised a perfectly legitimately question about the fact that over 50% of the threads (at the time of posting) were about one tiny left-wing sect (most public forums would call this "spamming" or "duplicate threads" and that the default mode of debate on UKp&p seemed to be ad hominems and throwing personal abuse - something outlawed in the u75 FAQ.Red Jezza said:

It would be interesting and entertaining yesGeri said:
I could now start accusing you of all sorts of hidden agenda and make my entire argument revolve around nosos and nasty and snide remarks about you, but I won't. I won't because that is precisely the kind of ad hominem mudslinging that you want to drag everyone down into, and which you are saying people have a right to do if they feel like. The fact is every forum has rules and there are rules on urban75 about personal abuse which are simply ignored by half the posters who monopolise UK p&p and regard it as their own little domain. I am faced with either being driven out by people who seem to love to drag everyone down into the gutter with them and walking away, or to try and appeal to the far larger number of reasonable urban75 people to voice their opinion about this situation and hopefully extert some kind of collective pressure to change things for the better. You continue to try and make free speech arguments to defend the use of vile and stupid personal abuse as a valid debating tactitic and label anyone who disagrees as a dictator. Making comparisons with fascists is the sign of someone who is really losing the argument, and I will leave it to everyone else here to weigh up who has been more convincing on this thread. It seesm that instead of addressing the issues some people would (yet again) try and turn the whole debate into an attack on one person and throw abuse and false accusations at them, instead of actually debate or prodice a coherent argument.nosos said:
This thread though isn't you making impartial suggestions as to how p&p could be improved, it is a result of, and continuation of, the arguments you've had with me and butchers and others.
