Subject: A one off posting for the insider. Message a little bit too long to post directly. Have a read insider and post your reply, I will genuinely be interested in your thoughts.

I am not going to bother getting into a slanging match with you. This is a one off appeal to you to sort it out. Security/censorship (call it what you like) is all about stopping people (kids and grown ups alike) who have nothing interesting or constructive to say and are out to upset people. Why should readers of the board have to trawl through the posts that we’ve seen lately?

Flamers, trolls and WUMs are not wanted on ANY site. What you have been contributing cannot be classed as relevant to Ebbw Vale or it's supporters.

Many posters are now sick of having to trawl through the garbage that you and a couple of others have been posting on here. They shouldn't have to do that. Why should they have to put up with it?.

There is a log being kept by admin on posters such as yourself and its contents are quite startling. I asked what is being done about it and was shown the list. You have insulted and flamed here constantly along with one or two others. They seem to be school kids but you seem to be old enough to know better. The logging of IP addresses may prove to be useful, as it is now up for question as to how far admin decide to take it. There is a very strong case to send the log to the relevant providers. BT is very clear in their terms and conditions as to what happens to people who break rules, as are the other providers in the log.

BT Terms and Conditions. 10.1(c) for dial up, or 11.1(c) for Broadband users.
They will suspend or terminate the contract immediately if any of the rules have been breached, 14(b) for dial-up or 15(b) for Broadband users.

What has been posted recently constitutes an infringement of 10.1(c) and 11.1(c). So why you continue to do so is beyond any rational explanation. You seem old enough to know how to use a message board responsibly. I have long passed bothering to trade insults with you and the other invaders. I get more pleasure from watching you make fools of yourselves. The problem is that you do so and make life unpleasant for ALL readers/users of this forum.

The others who seem too young to know any better (the "half-term brigade") are at real risk of having their parents Internet provider cut them off (what will mammy and daddy say to their little darlings when they have a letter of explanation through the door?

If you have a view or issue regarding the club, then post it. Nobody will have a problem with it if it is done in a grown up manner without the insults. We all have our views, and I know that mine (or anyone else’s) aren’t correct all the time. This is what we call debating. Discuss it without the insults and try to accept that the other person may just have a point, if not try to convince them that they are wrong by debating and not just insulting.

Look at your post again. You try to make a point, and then call the club and it's supporters petty and little. Is that the way to get a point across? No, it's the way to cheese people off enough to want you off the board. If you want to debate, you have a funny way of showing it. Do yourself a favour and cut out the nonsense, that way other board users will accept that you may have something meaningful or constructive to say. I don't always agree with what our regulars post (nor them with me), but most of us on here tend to treat each other with a bit of respect and willingness to allow the other person their viewpoint without getting personal or abusive.

Try it; you may get to like being treated with respect by the other board users.

As for your go ahead, admin is away until Monday, but as you insist, I'm sure he'll sort that out for you. I'm sure bt don't care what you "stand by", it's been personal insults and abuse, there is no getting away from that. (NT) -- Graham, 22:47:01 02/19/05 Sat
