Students occupy University of Sheffield Auditorium

Looks like I'm going to have to be patient to have my account deleted....

Have just been looking around for somewhere less biased to have a chat. Interesting comment here below from left wingish site.

Time to have a look at your admins before you veer so far to the crazy side and memebership falls off ?

"...Urban 75 is a long time haunt and favourite of anarchists and politico`s etc.. In its time it was a lively channel until off course disillusionment set in leaving the hard core theorists on there. It opened itself up about a couple years ago with new forum software which reinvigorated it but it has never been the same as its early years..."

Oh,and perhaps consider dropping the word 'forum'. That suggests a place to come and express individual views. Try 'private club' (for harbouring angsty hatred)

I'd suggest MATB or Turbo Island, but you've already burnt that bridge...
 
Octuple posting VP? Really?

I'm not defending Barry 43210 and his flounce, but there is a lot of winding up and insulting going on here.

Question for the mods, who no doubt will be along soon. How far is it acceptable to insult someone purely for having different views to yourself?

Yes.
As more aware posters know, I have a particular neurological issue that means my short-term memory is appalling. I reply to posts as I read them, because that works for me.
If you don't like it, go lube your arse and sit on a traffic cone.

I'm going to cordially suggest that you do a bit of research on this thread. It won't take long.
The proposal is this: Go through the posts of "Barry" and his interlocutors, and score a point to each post that contains an insult that has occurred "purely for having different views to yourself". You may be surprised - I was not - how high posts by "Barry" score.

Hey some people would pay good money for that experience :D. Seriously, that's completely fair enough- totally understand :)

which of the mods (the 'yourself' of your question) do you feel has been insulting people purely for not sharing their views?

None of them! I was just asking for a clarification on the rules these days. I was away from these boards for 4 and a half years, remember.
 
LeslieB you're making far to big of a deal of this "having different views" schtick. One could almost suspect a desire for martyrdom here. Anyways, it's it's not the "difference" of views that counts, it's an inability or unwillingness to back them up that irks me.

Trust me, having been given another chance here, I'm not even *remotely* interested in martyrdom.

TwoSheds, feel free to go back through the thread and take a look. I'm not reiterating everything here.

Barry did the very opposite of "purely having different views". He posted some blatant nonsense, and then several people (including me) spent some time patiently explaining -- with researched supporting evidence -- why it was nonsense. His response to that was to totally ignore it and even admit he was ignoring it because it was "too long". Instead, he responded only to picky one-liners. Is it any surprise, then, that picky one-lines was all he ended up with? He made that happen.
 
Because I'm not banned and I enjoy these boards and you aren't a mod. :)

Funny thing is, judging by your other posts on other threads I suspect that you and I would agree on more than we disagreed on.
Then it would appear that your judgement is as flawed as your ideology.
Setting aside your racist views, (that you've requested we overlook), I find it hard to imagine any point of agreement with someone who's world view was shaped by a "documentary" that makes the case for lower taxes, a smaller public sector and a free-market economy on the basis of national debt.
 
I don't hold racist views. I have one thread from seven years ago I deeply regret and didn't realise was still archived in the bin.

Try reading "setting aside".
You can't wriggle out of the ugly tory (vermin) economic analysis that you've so proudly displayed in the last week or so.
 
If you think you are going to bully me into flouncing you can think again, though., Brogdale

You have said your new, (non-racist?) world view(s) are informed by this video. Is there anything in it you disagree with?

This is not true - there's your repeated should black people really have the right to vote threads, your i don't like asians thread, your non-british people should get out of britain posts, your combined should black and asian people be allowed to vote thread and so on - it's all there for for those who want to see.

And you didn't flounce - you were banned.

The presence of that prat Kelvin McKenzie! :D

Seriously I still consider myself more left than right politically speaking, but I do think we need to balance the budget....

By holding such an extreme, irrational economic belief you are aligning yourself very clearly with neo-liberal shills like McKenzie and his employers.
Have you not questioned why consolidator states say that they are "balancing the books", but never do or can?
