I see no problem with free speech and the right to reply, but see no reason why some have to make personal comments and abuse and try to belittle other members in their reply. It's easy to do it from behind a keyboard, would the comments be the same if they met in person.
It costs nothing to be polite, and to play nice occasionally.

I have read the first 20 pages of this Thread and come to this conclusion.
If we all start thinking like Northerner, there will be nothing to argue about and nobody to ban.

Nah. Look at the stats on this thread. Everyone loves a bit of argy-bargy. Some like to be in the thick of it :mad1:; some like getting indignant about it :scared:; some view it as light entertainment:raofl:. But EVERYONE loves a bit of argy-bargy.

Is this a vote?
If so i am going to vote for light entertainment and just watch and not get involved:lol-053::lol-053::lol-053::lol-053:

I haven't voted, and won't.

I believe that the forum is essentially about helping one another, in respect of wilding / motorhome issues
I do think that an area set aside for non motorhome issues is valid , but by the same token it is important a little respect is shown
Individual writing styles aside really difficult to manage
This is not the forum I joined, things do seem to have lost there way.

Phil is head honcho, so really up to him how he runs things
Then its fifo.....fit in or foxtrot Oscar

It's a pity that you feel the need to stir the pot but I'd just like to mention that I've made roughly 700 posts and roughly 600 people have liked what I've said. Of course a lot of people don't like what I say but that applies to us all.

From what some say say I shouldn't have any 'Likes' at all! But an 80% 'Likes' ratio is amongst the highest on this forum. Go figure, as the Yanks say!

You quite rightly defend yourself, as I would if somebody used my name in a post!

This is NOT a dig at Northerner but it is an illustration of how keeping a record of "likes" actually tells you nothing. As someone else pointed out (Firefox, I think) many of us posted a lot of our stuff before the system was introduced, so a percentage count is meaningless. Further, 1000 posts and 800 likes does not necessarily mean you are popular. That result could have been achieved by one friend liking most (but not all) of what you say. Once again, I stress that this is not a dig at any particular member but support for the argument for not keeping a tally of likes that was being discussed in another thread.

 

[John H]

A lot of the discussion on this thread has centered on the number of people who have voted, percentages of the total and so on. I think we maybe missing the point here - if ONE person is abused by ONE other person then that is unacceptable. The numbers of people who may be offended is irrelevant.

This thread is now closed.

There will be an announcement soon about how I am going to move forward with this issue.

No one is going to be banned at this point and the slate will be wiped clean.
