So...are you stating the fact for those on AB who are using computers that cannot open links.

Looking forward to you telling us that the jockey who wins the Grand National in 2016 was riding a horse, rather than a tumble dryer.

Excellent service you're providing here.

my... AB's been busy blocking us on this question, seems he/she is a little nervous about what allowed and whats BLOCKED,so hits the safe button,

Good Lord...my timing is rubbish today. I've just come back to see what AOG wrote, and another post has been deleted.

Is anyone able to be a grown up and summarise without violating the Site Rules???

[andy-hughes]

sp - AOG addressed a personal comment to another AB'er regarding a previous argument, so it appears that in order to prevent another argument starting, this has been stopped before it starts - along with any other references to it.

Hopefully you will get this before it goes as well!

[ivor4781]

lol another one gone...

[sp1814]

Thanks andy_hughes!

I was wondering whether it was something pertinent to the original question.

Obviously not.

/// That may be so - AOG has yet to respond - but my point was that a thread like this has nowhere to go. ///

I will not make a comment on this, simply because when I dare to respond, my post will be removed, so I will let other ABers make their own judgement.

[ivor4781]

like wise AOG

[andy-hughes]

AOG - //I will not make a comment on this, simply because when I dare to respond, my post will be removed, so I will let other ABers make their own judgement.//

If you respond without looking for a fight with another AB'er, I am sure your post will remain on the thread.

[andy-hughes]

ivor - Your posts are not removed because you respond, it is because you break Site Rules.

[ivor4781]

not all my post (removed) contravened rules Andy and there 2 still on here that stick out as doing that

[andy-hughes]

Ivor - /not all my post (removed) contravened rules Andy and there 2 still on here that stick out as doing that//

One of the main reasons why posts get removed is because they are not pertinent to the thread on which they appear, but simply look to either stir up others to join in a potential argument, or actively to start an argument.

These posts are removed when the Ed, or a moderator spots them because they escalate into pointless rows which annoy other AB'ers and drag the site down into nasty personal exchanges, which don't help anyone.

So, if your posts are on-thread, and are not contravening any other Site Rules, such as inappropriate language or expressions, you will have no problem.

Hope this helps.

maybe this question should have been in chatterbank, this could then expand into chatter .... which could expand into other "chatter"

[anotheoldgit]

All debates turn into arguments, one arguing their point against another's, providing one does not break the Site Rules, the posts should remain.

If everyone agreed with each other, then there would be no need to remove posts simply because this site would soon cease to exist, because it had become boring.

Site Rules:

/// We understand that debates get heated, but personal attacks and abusive language will not be tolerated. ///

It is little wonder that there are not more posts removed, because I am personally attacked on a daily basis.

[Gavmacp]

To be quite honest I think you rather encourage it and for some reason get a thrill out of it.

"If everyone agreed with each other, then there would be no need to remove posts simply because this site would soon cease to exist, because it had become boring. "
my thoughts exactly AOG
