Lusty permanently banned?

Let's chill out.

I used to take the forums way way to seriously when NAT used to wind me up something rotten. I look back now and cringe at my behaviour.

Well said Hipster.

Unfortunately people do take forums seriously and others will wind them up because they do.

Some even take their forum spats into the real world!

That's how deep social media is now ingrained in some peoples lives!

It's not going to change anytime soon though.

Its because i've stuck up for him in the past and mentioned it on a thread about when he was due back, nothing more, nothing less. Getting more paranoid by the minute aren't you?

I'd be interested to know what the founders and mods of this site think of all this? Anyone going to stick their head above the parapet or not?

Paranoid, I've just told you to go and set up your own forum and do what ever you like once you have.

How paranoid of me is that?

If any of the Nuts founders or mods want to go and join you doing that, then they are entirely free to do so, they certainly aren't chained to their Nuts desks by me.

Maybe, just maybe, they've seen for themselves from behind the scenes how much shit I've had to take over the years trying to run the site fairly for everyone rather to pander to one or two super egos and wouldn't want to go through all that again?

I give up, if you want to see this forum you've funded with your own money go down the pan then carry on, but don't be surprised when the number of posts keep dwindling to next to nothing and you end up talking to yourself.

I've said my piece and i don't agree with how you run this site and nothings going to change so i'm staying out of it from now on, keep fiddling Nero.

Nothing lasts forever.

It was fun on here at times but there's always been one or two who went far to far.

I've been as fair as I can be to everybody (even those who clearly had issues with me) and after seven years I've banned only three people yet in your last few posts alone you tell me that...

- I'm a megalomaniac
- I'm a dictator
- I apparently run the forum however I like - carte blanche
- I'm paranoid
- that you don't agree with how I run the site
- I'm fiddling like Nero
- that I'm going to be ending up talking to myself

...and all that because I've simply banned your mate after enduring three years of abuse from him, then him going on to another forum to continue it - the last bit being the final straw. 

Do you really think he wouldn't simply carry on if he had returned - and do you think that is really what the rest of the forum would have wanted to see and put up with until his next inevitable ban?

What other option was there really?

Oh I know, that I throw myself under a bus.

Well I'm not doing that.

So we are where we are.

Thanks for all you've done for Nuts and all the best for your future.

Initially, I thought Sluffy had over-reacted, as he was prone to do with Wander. However, the more I read, the more I can sympathise with Sluffy, and can understand his reaction to both Wander, and this thread.
As somebody said, Wander did get more heated these last couple of years. I believe the Brexit arguments on here was a cause of that, and possibly this led to a change in attitude. Add to this Sluffy's dislike of him, and instant retaliation on any topic, with insults by and to each other growing more personal daily, it could only end up one way.
For two intelligent people it was sometimes embarrassing to read, in fact I stopped reading both of their comments when they talking to each other.
I personally think Sluffy was right to take action, but a lifetime ban is maybe too severe, but there again, why should he suffer such abuse. When the argument spills over to another forum, then that should have been a wake-up call to both, especially Sluffy, as it will drive people away from this one.
I believe people should say what they mean, and some abuse will always creep in, but incessant personal abuse is wrong.
Mr Pig, Bonce, don't leave, we need to give Sluffy time to calm down, and then he will no doubt get himself back on an even keel, (as far as we are concerned  )

I didn't say i was leaving, i wouldn't give Sluffy the satisfaction, he'll have to ban me first to stop me posting. What i meant was i wouldn't push the argument any further as it painfully obvious we are getting nowhere but sluffy as ever has to keep answering 

If people want me to stop posting then feel free to let me know.

Don't be daft, how would we keep up with the internal workings of the NHS, (or of the patients, at least)

God help Nuts if there is a second referendum 

I may have to start my own thread on bed pans Glos 

Would you like us to contribute? 

If you feel the need then yes, fire away. No pictures of your used bed pan please though 

Can't think of an answer to this 

Here's some relevant content, Norpig. Made me chuckle

Sad all this in fighting a slippery slope banning people who don't share your views so i would like to see him back, and without Bonce and co hardly worth logging on these days. Sometimes you have to see the bigger picture.

In saying that we are not privy to what goes on behind the scenes so the mods stroke site owner should have the right to take any action he/she thinks benefits the site.

No one wants you to leave. The forum would be much worse for it.

I couldn't care less about lusty, but his abuse was mild compared to that dished out by KP.

So are you saying we can't abuse sluffy, but everyone else is fair game?

Thank you Hipster, i know we don't always see eye to eye so that means a lot

What abuse have I served up love?

I only wanted your company for 5 mins at the bins behind Bargain Booze!

No personal abuse should be acceptable now that we are well into the twenty-first century but we haven't achieved anything like a perfect world yet and have to accept some abuse will always go on.

To compare KP to Wanderlust is laughable and you know it.

I don't consider Wanderlust abuse of me to be mild in the least, his constant and deliberate attempts to imply I had multiple mental health issues and severe personality defects may well seem funny to you and others but when you've had to tolerate it for the best part of three years it really isn't funny at all - particularly as you know it is only being said as an attempted character assignation to try and win some pointless internet argument.

I think however you might be getting totally mixed up on what was said by whom?  You posted previously on this thread that words such as 'moonman' and 'muppet' wasn't abusive at all - thank you because those along with nutjob, where about the extent of the 'abuse' I ever used.

Incredibly some people claim that I was equally as bad as Wanderlust for the abuse, when he was blatantly making out I had severe mental health problems - the two are hardly comparable are they?

As for KP occasional outbursts, whilst they may be regrettable they certainly are not said maliciously nor repeated constantly week after week, month after month, year after year, simply to attempt to make someone out as mentally ill in order to win meaningless arguments.

Wanderlust continued abuse of me on from another forum was the sign I needed for me to KNOW it was never going to end if he did return, so it was best for all concerned to draw a line under things at that point and move on.

I don't regret the decision - it was the right one for the forum if nothing else.

Shame Bonce chose not to see it that way though.

And for what it is worth I'm very pleased Norpig had decided to stay and seemingly everyone else too.
