The death penalty ..

Actually, no. The rules of the forum are the same for everyone.

rexbecarx... I realise I'm heading for the bin... we've already had a run in... etc...

But please if you can be bothered, lay out the charges... like I said, I've had members telling my I'm stupid, without a response from me, and yet I'm in the dock... why?

Well actually say just that... however, that approach just begs a row and a slanging match doesn't it?

Surely "give respect to others' opinions" should be first? rather than "be as rude and insulting as you like"?

There's a difference between being rude, and throwing the occasional insult to downright flaming.

While everyone expects a certain amount of respect, it's inevitable that ideas and personalities clash. Rudeness should be expected occasionally, insults even. This isn't license for people to act like cunts all the time sure, that's why we have the flaming and trolling rules, but generally if you say something another person doesn't like, and they insult you for it, we're probably not gonna intervene unless it turns into a pissing match. If we intervened every time someone got called a rude word, we'd need about 10 times as many moderators.

Actually this is probably one of the best statements I've seen on a forum... totally realistic. Great to know that calling someone a cunt is fine, and lets' get over it.... kinda sums up how things should be.. people "manning up" and getting on with it.. thanks

I am trying very hard to get on here, but the rules are against me... !!
