    Do you know what if I thought about the 'Gravity' of some peoples comments I would be classed as insane I expect. Please keep this in mind. It's only an internet forum.

    Belive me if the poo hit the fan a poser would not be anonomus any more.
    You could get sued for coments on here as I am sure IP addresses are logged.
  • Hun they are not.
  • And why would we not have a forum; Because of people like you who feel the need to destroy everything because it's not your point of view.

    I was feeling nice but I read the last bit of that...........................I will leave it up to others.

    Crikey I can't believe this thread is still going on.

    Look, its quite simple, its nothing to do with POV, or POV's, its because someone wrote something really horrible about a person that had taken his own life, committed suicide if you like.

    This person that wrote it, they didn't know the guy that had committed suicide, they knew nothing about him, they didn't know anything about his business practices, in fact they knew nothing at all, apart from the fact he was in the money business.

    The post that was complained about, glorified in the death of this person and the poster was more than happy about his death.

    You want to agree with that post? Thats up to you, but obviously the mods didn't agree with you. And I tell you something, the mods do not always pull a thread or post, just because someone complains about it. They pull it, because Martin would not, or could not, agree to it staying on his site.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    Why though, why would you pull it. Because the minority moaned about it.

    I didn't read the original post, I have no clue as to what you're talking about. But if you had said

    Gangstabird spends so much time on here, she cannot possibly be caring for her kids cos she is drunk/on drugs etc.

    I still would not want the post taken down.

    Neverdespairgirl is a bloody Lawyer and has already said that it can't be deemed a legality.

    I didn't want it taken down. I didn't see it, but I want to see everything.

    You lot need to stop. Think and realise the damage you are doing to this forum because people are finding other forums that are not like this. MSE is traditionally about moneysaving, not whinging & moaning because your life is so cr*p that you want to make everyone elses life the same. Get a grip for goodness sake.

    I think it is even simpler than that .
    This is a public site ,but it is still owned by an individual who can chose what stays or goes ...There are a huge amount of sites out there that let people post whatever they want .This one is moderated ...It would seem that a large amount of users are happy with this as ...simply there are still a large amount of users .
    If you happen to be one of the posters who don't like the fact that there is in essence a benign dictator then surely it is you who are on the wrong site .
  • Globalds, you are wrong, this site isn't moderated. Sorry luv, but just thought you ought to know.

    It's moderated by the 'Squealers/grasses'. Not the ordinary folk.

    You must remember all the Madeline Mcann threads that were removed .
    So many in fact that a statement was issued about posting sensitive threads .
    The poster removed his post and regretted his original wording ..So no more thread is probably what they would want ...

    Hopefully that puts this to bed now. Obviously it would have to go to court but I presume the mods do not want false allegations on their site.

    give the legal stuff a rest. A little learning, and all that....
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.
