I do however hate accyweb being called because, let's face it, it is only a site, what we put in generates what we get out!

I seem to have a 'thing' against newbies, not true, most newbies come on and add to the site.

Some unfortunately come on and want to correct our wrongs without a please or thank you. That isn't them improving the site, that is them trying to adjust us to their way!

Lot's of us, (myself included), have our own points of view that perhaps could do with adjusting, but not until the newbie has proved themselves worthwhile.

We have had some folk come on recently and they have been disruptive and accused us of all sorts of prejudice, etc, is this because we are intolerant? I think the answer is no.

It's because they want us to be like them, well excuse me, we often argue we sometimes go over the top with some of our comments, but we generally keep an interesting site going.

We don't need to be told how to behave, we have been going long enough for most folk to understand how accyweb works, those that want to alter the majority of us can 'bog off'.

Why do feel that you have to defend your actions?
Why not look through your own postings and see where you might have gone wrong and how many people have been hurt by your comments.

Look at the thread link that I have posted and form your own opinion.
Don't for one minute think that all people who disagree with you want to change how the forum is run.

Kipax was absolutely right what he said in the post that was removed.
That was removed for the content of the thread, not what kipax said.

I think you are a grumpy old sod :p

We were discussing a criminal thug who was threatening all and sundry - whose entire posting record is now obliterated - who made a hit list and sounded like he would use it - understand now? :rolleyes:

I may be thick...or I may have missed something that is relevant to this post, but i don't understand the link to obsessive stalkers...there were things in that post that I didn't understand at the time.......does this mean I am naive?
And would someone care to enlighten me.....well, if it doesn't transgress the rules, that is.

And Royboy, while you may not agree with the point of view that was expressed by Less.....he has a right to express it without it being called 'drivel'....as you have a right to express your opinion too.

It is the differences in opinion that make Accyweb the popular site that it is.

That was dealt with quite rightly by the mods....why drag it up again with that drivel??

And if Less is a grumpy old sod, then I must be one too because I agree with every word in his first post.

Could you please tell me how a newbie proves themselves worthwhile? I agree that what went on the other night was disgraceful, but not all "newbies" behave like that! :(
