I guess the bears that you mention were banned for breaking the forum rules.
The likes of brit, carolt and macaque are all still here.
I am pretty sure that no one would call any of these posters timid in their views and they are more than happy to express them, sometimes in a somewhat volatile manner. They must be doing it in a way that keeps them within the forum rules however. It's a shame that these banned bears you are so concerned about could not do the same.0 -
I'm still waiting to find out who these banned bears are...."I can hear you whisperin', children, so I know you're down there. I can feel myself gettin' awful mad. I'm out of patience, children. I'm coming to find you now." - Harry Powell, Night of the Hunter, 1955.0

But you joined after Dithering Dad was banned.0 -
But don't you think if they are banned they would just return like a 'boomerang' by using a different id?
What :eek:....you don't think.........'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -

LOL, brilliant attempt to embroil me in an argument by pretending to be so stupid/inept that you couldn't look at Dithering Dad's last post and my join date to see the time different. I love the way you work Graham and how you pretend to be an idiot to tangle people up into arguments that have no point and no end.
However, it doesn't work with me because I've seen through you, matey. I must admit though I really admire your work
For the record though....

i don't think it's important if he joined before or after Dithering Dad - he makes a very good point, which you conveniently avoided answering (again)
were you not able to answer his question (again) and that's why you decided to use the accusation of Dithering Dad at Harry to deflect his very valid point :rolleyes:
they call this the Chewbacca technique right?
The Chewbacca Defense is a term for a strategy that seeks to overwhelm its audience with nonsensical arguments, as a way of confusing the audience and drowning out legitimate opposing arguments0 -

The one they used to put on a jar of Robinsons Jam was
'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -

The mistake you are making, is to think this is a deliberate strategy :rolleyes:'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0
