    I don't know what else has gone on but I'm off to report the posts with swear words in ,this is a family site and such language is not acceptable for any reason on here in my view

    and why is that do you think, I thought I would be helpful and offer some of my experience with a technical matter so others may benefit, and within minutes I'm jumped on by people who don't think before they type.
    Exactly why did you call me a moron, if you ask me you earned your response from me, I bet you drove busses for a living didn't you.
    Well you have flipped it up for the rest of the users here, who I'm sure are normal people, this site could have had a lot of good free technical advice from me, but you can all flip off now, go back to your busses and your bloody mindedness.

    They may well drive buses, but they can probably spell the word correctly.

    Using words like that on a family site really is dreadful.

    Reported again. I don't think anybody objects to your lack of spelling ability it is the actual words used.

    Didn't this board used to have an auto-censor on it to stop this sort of thing appearing?

    And all I said was 'look at the date on the post above yours'
    That certainly started something did it not !!!

    It wasn't your post that sparked the spate of bad language it was pendulum suggesting that the Bax is a moron for resurrecting a 5 year old thread.

    Rather than making the posts that were made but now appear to have been removed Bax should have reported that post which was OTT although I can certainly understand the frustration which lead to it being made.

    Unless the inhabitants of S!!!!horpe were complaining that the board censor was messing up their addresses it seems it must have been completely disabled for reasons unknown. This thread proves it needs to be turned back on. Bad language doesn't shock me at all but many do find it offensive and this really isn't the sort of place it should be allowed.

    ===update===

    Ah - I see those poor folk from S!!!!horpe are out of luck again... :)

    He negligently resurrected a 6 year old thread to post his first ever post in which he rubbished everyone else's previous attempts to help before dishing out his own "superior" advice. What was it you said Bax? Everyone above you had been dishing out "monkey advice"?

    I could tell he was a moron by his first post, he came here with an attitude problem, and he proved me dead right by his subsequent posts, with his repeated "f" and "c" word tirades against everyone and everything.

    He wouldn't last 2 minutes here, if I had not of set him off then someone else would have, because lets face it, it didn't take much to make him go mental did it. I don't take any blame for "sparking him off" at all, it was just waiting to happen.
