Just as a general rule if one is daft enough to belong to an internet forum then expect verbal abuse.
If one does not like like verbal abuse then don't faff about on internet fora of any make or shape.
Simples.
But that might be true but the same goes for those who spread abuse - if you don't like the consequences "then don't faff about on internet fora of any make or shape. Simples."
Moderation
John has instructed all moderators to take a very strong line with posters who constantly breach the rules of this forum.  This sniping, goading, name calling and other various forms of disruption will cease.

It's not quite that simple, is it Alice? Nobody wants to be moderated on one forum by someone who is openly verbally abusing you on another (where you have no right of reply). Equally nobody wants to interact with people who are abusing them so it rather destroys the stability of this forum.
IMO.

I get verbal abuse when I don't belong to the fora.

And that is how life works.

I suspect the next phase would be to compile a dossier to hand to John  and Bruntie...


Re: complaining to Stephen.

Being in a state of devastation over the sudden death of his lovely wife, I doubt if he would give a flock about your feelings being 'hurt' on a forum he manages. Vile and nasty to even contemplate doing that IMHO.

As Alice has said those of us apart from John,(obvious reasons) who dare to question the McCanns regarding their daughters disappearance have been called a lot of names.Some by mods!

No-one is suggesting dossiers or beyond - just good manners & a little respect for your fellow posters. Keep disparaging remarks where they belong - to yourself or in a private place.

Mod on another thread making snidey insinuations... hilarious her thinking she is ever so posh and above other people. I laugh out loud at that behaviour maybe you  lot should lighten up.

Would you say "El Magnifico" is being abusive?  Superficially it may be complimentary  ?{)(** ... maybe I'm just reading it all wrong.

Actually, just ignore that dismal attempt at humour I'm not very good at it.
It must be said that I have never seen either you or EC abusing your position by abusing others on your blog where you have total control.  That to me 'is how life works' as far as honourable people are concerned ... what you describe doesn't meet anything like that standard, what a pity we now accept the aberration for the norm.
"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

I was talking about the Mirror, the thread about me on CMoMM, and the thread on the DF, and all 3 are abusive.

Fact.

I didn't know you had your own special thread on CMoMM ... that's what happens when you try to talk sense to them though and I must admit it is a portal through which I rarely venture.  It really does turn my stomach.

If you remember  John said it was not acceptable for posters here to post abuse elsewhere.... So it's, a, question of whether miss behaving is a member here... So... Do you know

When people post anonymously it is difficult to establish categorically that they are one and the same but over time they tend to give themselves away.  Let no member be under any illusion though, if they post disparaging comments about fellow members on another site, their account here will be closed.

Unfortunately, I am occasionally called upon to censor the remarks of some posters, whether from Sceptics or Supporters.

This is what I am pledged to do, and will continue to do.

I have no issue with you on that score. I agree.

This is what I am pledged to do, and will continue to do.

And this should continue to be the case

There is no need for anyone to post insulting and/or abusive comments and that is why our moderators will always removed such material. Our zero tolerance approach will continue as usual.

A malicious prosecution for a crime which never existed. An exposé of egregious malfeasance by public officials.
Indeed, the truth never changes with the passage of time.
