I had a warning of inappropriate posting myself regarding me saying people shouldn't be labelling leave voters as uneducated idiots.
Go figure.
I guess the official MSE line is that they are.0 -

They're both on my blocked list. The only other person who I've blocked also ended up PPRed. It's heartening to know that I'm not the only one who got fed up with their posts but it's a shame that people end up banned.
I hasten to add that their PPR is nothing to do with me but do willingly admit to complaining about the other poster (diamonds).0 -

Debate is healthy. One should respect other peoples views irrespective even if you disagree with them or not. The right solution is often in the middle, i.e. a compromise.

Does PPRing mean banning someone? Do you know why on Earth that would have happened?0 -

Oh, I see. Probably swearing at each other. :A0 -
And as I have posted brfore on here, the UK has assets as well as liabilities including €39bn in the European Investment Bank and also has a 12% share of EU assets. Why do people who chunter on about the UK's liabilities always overlook the other side of the coin?
Because the paper discusses liabilities! I'd be interested to see anything about assets too personally.0 -

What are these assets and can we realistically expect to get them back?Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0 -

Yes, it could be for all sorts of reasons, libellous comments, offensive remarks, ,spamming, trolling taking up too much of the administrators time, impersonation, breaking any rules, whatever.
Some PPRed return, others disappear for evermore like Generali. Its quite creepyFew people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0 -

I'd disagree with respecting opinions how I would define respectable opinion. Tolerate others opinions as a believer in freedom of speech and thought. Everyone should have those rights and the rights ought to be respected. But not the opinions, for me that is a clear and distinct difference. For example I will never respect the opinion that all leave voters are uneducated idiots. But I will forever defend the rights of those people to be able to think that even if it is ridiculous.0
