Double Standards......

[ToraToraTora]

OK I was suspended on Thursday evening for retaliating to a gulliver insult towards the end of this thread:
https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1845327-6.html
...I accept the action but can the mod that did it please explain why gulliver was not also suspended? This is the kind of bent refereeing that undermines this site.

Good morning.

[Bobbisox1]

I have to agree 100% with you Tora, Gulliver is the untouchable on AB and it’s becoming clear that he’s mainly here to increase traffic even though he’s ruined the News-section completely with his inane threads, his nonsense often exceeds 100 posts ( a lot by himself I might add) so it’s a case of letting him away with insults as long as the posts are rolling in, Mikey and AOG would no doubt be turning over seeing his drivel

[douglas9401]

You've peaked far too early, Mikey and AOG are to be kept in a special box for a grand flourish at the end when the rose tinted glasses are misting over.

[LadyCG]

The ever-dwindling numbers on AB are doubtless due largely to inconsistent and selective moderation and the utter drivel that Gulliver posts.

I wholeheartedly disagree with your suspension, TTT.

[lankeela]

Then why do you all respond to his inane drivel? Its simple - just spot the ridiculous headlines which point to one of his posts and pass right down the bus. No responses would mean no traffic and the Ed might finally accept what we are all saying - he is killing this site at least for the regulars. Any newcomers would soon find out too that News is anything but.

[ToraToraTora]

TBF bobs, gulliver does have a couple of fellow Trollsketeers to help him ruin the news section.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes, a trio of ‘spoilers’ , I agree

[ToraToraTora]

ladycg 10:08, thank you, I wouldn't mind so much of we were both suspended.

[Peter Pedant]

I agree with poor TTT
mods seem to be able to stalk and cuss ( examples available on demand)
and poor TTT exercising his much vaunted right of free speech gets it abrogated ( long word for suspended)

No more torts to TTT - - - a tort is a civil wrong.
no more trouble for TTT ?

[ToraToraTora]

Lanks 10:09 - yes you are correct and of late I have been resisting a lot of it. I'm going to try harder to ignore the 3 Trollsketeers.

[Peter Pedant]

o god Bo-bo
dont read Gully
if it makes you retch ! Jesus

some of us are made of stronger fibre....

and TTT I expect you to stand up for my very learned post on Hamming codes and Voyager which went down the pan the other day

[Peter Pedant]

yes reader try to control the (rather jolly) reflex
"see gully: cuss"

I know I know. It was higher than a duty- it had become a pleasure

[Ken4155]

My (poor) impression of TTT;

Lankeela @ 10:09, BA right there!

[Bobbisox1]

Lankeela is right,freeze them out ;0)

[Peter Pedant]

christ ( pun intended) poor goodlife gets both kicked and cussed ( and ridiculed). someone is at it now ( as we write)

I love the posts where Goodlife squeals and the boot that kicks is found to have a stiletto er sticking out - and the usual suspects cheer and egg each other on

[Peter Pedant]

as on this thread

[Peter Pedant]

Yes, a trio of ‘spoilers’ , I agree
yeah and what about the much used triple:

Usual suspect: god (X) you are a damned fool. and you were a daned foot yesteray to boot ! ( X is chosen from Gully Hymie, Gromit er me)

[bobbinwales]

//o god Bo-bo
dont read Gully

If you meant me Peter, cos you do call me Bo-bo sometimes, then its odd again as I not posted on this thread. The other day you attributed a quote to Bo-bo from Cymru who I guess was me dissing gromit... which was a completely made up quote.

[Peter Pedant]

oh hi Bobbin - wet isnt it?
no it was nt you: turn over in bed and go back to sleep
Nothing to see. It is my effort to be more clear by using words of one syllable on AB ( law of unexpected foo-foos)

I have thought of (joke!)
A: oi - you!
B whose name is oi - how you know my name?
