The point John seems to be trying to make TBB want this forum to be a more positive place. This does not mean everyone has to agree but people should treat others as they wish to be treated themselves. Sarcastic one liners, telling people they are completely wrong and you are correct to score points etc add no value to the forum. Energetic on topic debate, having a joke now and then and agreeing to disagree are whats needed.

(I replied to wingco1 as he was unluckily enough to be the last poster when I started typing !)

Not saying it is, Simon has had some good points in the past (many of which I agree with) but it is a pity that he doesn't seem to know when to let go. I can't say I agree with everything he says or does but maybe with some time to reflect he will come back for the better.

In which case limit posting rights to customers only. Does he honestly think banning Simon for 3 months is going to have the desired effect???.

How is this going to look when it hits various boards outside TBB, as it surely will sooner or later.

Time to reflect on what exactly Ian?.

Yes i know what you are saying but it has to be put in perspective. It may cost a few quid to change isp but car problems can cost thousands etc. Anyway we shall agree to disagree

Just quoting Don's statement "time to reflect". Nothing meant personally by it.

Wingco.. your'e priceless.

have no doubt this move will be seen as controversial and we'll come under significant criticism from several users for it, but we feel it's the right thing taking into consideration the slow progress.

Controversial, maybe... devastating, definately.

Why? Because TBBs' strength has always been in its impartiality. And in the words of the great Barry Scott..... BANG, and its gone.

SO, PR100 WAS repetative at times, but he was always articulate and direct without offense. This is just censorship in another guise.

Is this support for the Plusnet forum, or for Plusnet? Personally, I don't care any longer, I just feel very let down by TBB with this decision, so it may be time for pastures new......

I beg to differ, and if you read the postings that led to this "suspension" your assumptions of censorship hold no water.

Perhaps you could posts links to the offending posts to clear up any doubt.
