I think before I belched criticism at the way this board is ran, I would have to answer the following questions:
1.) Am I paying for the service I am using? (in this case, NO, there is no service fee)
2.) If you answered no to 1., go to 5, else proceed to 3.
3.) Is the board being ran in a manner contradictory to the service agreement I contracted to pay for? NO, there is no contractual service
agreement. (see number 1.)
4.) If you answered no go to 5. else proceed to 6.
5.) You're getting what you paid for then, what's the problem?
6.) You're getting what you paid for then, what's the problem?

Hey, maybe he's just going through "something" right now? Calling him a bitch, or other names, in that case, is going a little too far.
I agree that he screwed up, and that he was basically wrong... and I also agree that he needs the "time out" william just gave him... but there's
no need to call him names, especially if he is genuinely dealing with "problems".

Man, I always show up late for the real parties!
Abraham Virtue, I'd like to know if I am one of those Nazi's to whom you refer.
If this be the case, I'd like for you to give evidence of this allegation. It seems you have gone a bit too far.
There are legal terms for your transgression, you'll learn of that. Since I am one of the staff members here, I do take that as a personal injury.

you're going to 'sue' Abraham Virtue for calling you a nazi? According to Leveller and Camo Dude I'm 'stupid', so, can I get in on a class
action suit with you?

Why is there language censorship? Our speech is limited on ATS? Where we can't say a bad word without it being changed to something different. This
forum is a majority of just about all adults, or people who will soon be adults. So why can't we swear? We're talking about serious topics and no
swearing? We shouldn't have our speech limited, specially not on ATS.....

I actaully agree to the swearing censorship.
Posters can talking more educated rather than ranting slangs and swears.

I just got an e-mail from Colonel saying he is banned. Both he and I have a long history of getting banned from boards, although those boards were
based in Hong Kong. He feels he was unfairly banned when someone (described by him as a racist) complained about his postings. Oh, well he is not
really upset, and will not retalliate by using a proxy, etc. I've been on holiday and only know his side of the story.

Nothing new Freddie, just newer members some older getting upset about having to be civil and follow basic rules of respect. As this board is supossed
to represent topics of conspiracy based interest in a mature fashion, I fail see why anyone would argue that by useing inappropriate language/text
they can make a point more clear.
Simply put nothing more nothing less, I for one would like to see this situation resolved and forgotten. Or at least restricted to u2u's.

You know, sometimes people are having issues in the background when they reply in the forum. And we should be more responsible in that aspect. Sure,
I've had my ego stepped on here a little too, but I've got thick skin. I totally agree that Abe went too far with several of his comments. I sat
reading this thread, amazed at some of the stuff I read. However, the other members responded as a majority with demands and negative criticism.
I'm also sorry to hear that Colonel was banned. I hope that Abraham and the Colonel can swallow their pride and behave to the staff's standards.
I've enjoyed swapping opinions with both of them.

Sorry, DR, us "Nazi's" don't know how to count to ten. After about 9 biers I get a bit fuzzy-minded!
Surely "Colonel" didn't get banned. I thought he pulled back a bit and was attempting to discuss. Bujt then again, I've been at work today (You
know, cleaning my Lugar and gassing helpless women and children) and you can miss alot at this board in a mere ten hours!!
Heck, I just found out I went from mild-mannered constitutionalist to a Nazi during one work-shift!

1) Sorry Herr OberFuhrer. It's not a " Lugar " but a " Luger ". I send immediately, to the OberOberOberFurher, a report. You have to be degraded
to a lower rank ( UnterFuhrer ). I hope you'll do some efforts to get back your OberFuhrer rank.
2) Did you beat your former score ?
3) Hey, it can happen. I was a moderated moderator ( roll: ), and look at me now. I'm a high-ranking nazi from a nazi board. Gee...I wonder what did
I do to " desserve " such " honor ".
Huuum, I'm tired. And when I'm tired, I'm less cool than usual. I was " just " anger to be called a nazi. Now, I'm really upset.

Colonel was never banned for anything as far as I know.
If he reached 5 warnings, then there would be a temporary posting ban.

Don't worry. I'm still here. It was ATS that went down.

I only report what he told me. I don't know what the big fuss is over, myself. And I don't really care as it is not my business.
