I can never quite decide who you remind me most of…David Brent, Alan Patridge or Jay from the Inbetweeners…or perhaps a little smidgen of them all?

Aii incredly talented.. You do realise they are actors

You are off topic... Do you think John should give me my own thread

“ Name calling is all they’ve got left in their arsenal….poor dears”, remember who said that?

[faithlilly]

Wrong actually. I see everything that is deleted or moderated.  The only time I intervene is when asked to do so or if there is a dispute between moderators.

After it’s deleted or moderated?

They are characters.

Ricky Gervais, Steve Coogan and James Buckley are actors.

Both. All posts are visible to admins even after they are deleted.

Of course but that’ wasn’t my point. Moderation or deletion is rarely done by you yourself and your role is more as an arbitrator if problems arise. Is that fair?

As Stephen isn’t here to defend himself I suppose it’s easy to tranche him.

Davel began posting on the Amazon forum, where there were posters who really had come from science backgrounds. He was given his backside in a sling and slunk back here muttering darkly about being ‘outed’ and seeking succor from the usual suspects. He brought his supposed identity to this forum, no one else.

As to moderation and the standards that some adhere, or not, to I think this is neither the time nor the place.

Of course Davel is from a science background.   Since his real life identity was so brutally and sneakily revealed, virtually everyone knows.   You undoubtedly will.

His course at Uni was grounded on science and he would have been there for well over the normal 3 years.   I have spoken to him on the phone and he is undoubtedly the person that has been identified.  He has earned the title doctor.

He and I do not agree on a number of points, but I will not have him demeaned unfairly.

I believe the genre is called cringe comedy. It doesn't work for me; I get the cringe factor, but it doesn't make me laugh, it just irritates me. I think Norman Wisdom's Norman Pitkin was one of those characters too. Are we being told that Davel is a created character in the same vein?

Don’t you think it’s your duty as a moderator to discourage rather than encourage off-topic name-calling and personal attacks?

Yes we are off-topic. I see no name calling or personal attacks, however?

You don’t?  OK , let me explain.  Faithlilly likened Davel to three TV characters by name, who you helpfully identified as being cringeworthy.  Faithlilly was therefore attempting to insult Davel by naming him as like someone who makes her cringe.  If I said that you and she reminded me of Hinge and Brackett, or had the intellectual acumen of Little and Large would that be ok or would that be “abusive “ and a personal attack which apparently is against forum rules?  If it’s ok then, forthwith you shall be known as Large, and Faithlilly as Little.

Ahah... I've been rumbled. Faith has outed me as Steve Coogans latest character.. The series starts soon

Davel didn't seem to interpret Faith's comment as an insult, but if my comments upset him I apologise.

Cringe comedy is what this type of perfomance has been named. I do find it more cringeworthy than funny, but that's my personal reaction to it.

Your comments didn't upset me so no need for the apology..

Of course he didn’t, he’s too smart to give her that satisfaction, but if you think Faithlilly’s comments were designed as anything other than an insult you really should reconsider your role as a moderator imo.
