Even though I disagree with the behaviour, language and spoof postings carried out by the minority, I do not believe that individuals should be banned forever.
But what is the Moderator to do when he/she is "shouted at" and suffers abuse. We have had a free for all when it became clear that re-logging on was easy and that was horrendous.
If it gets back to that again - I doubt any sensible person will stay. Most of us just want our views treated with respect.
My views on the three main protagonists of the abuse where people were likened to Terrorists, Idi Amin, Hitler as well as being told that they were child killers because of the vehicle they drive, is still as strong as ever!
So I suggest a One Month Ban, for anyone who breaks the existing rules plus this one:-
"whilst individuals views are bound to be different, overt critiscm of an individual or an individuals choice of caravan, towcar or any other item will not be tolerated"
This will of course apply to me as well as everyone else but please note, all those that are already penning vitriolic replies, - I have always maintained that what you tow with is your choice - I do not care what it is.
I mention this because it has been confirmed by the Moderator that a number of aggresive postings are Spoof postings - i.e. just done by a Troll to wind things up.
By having a Months Ban an offender would be able to come back. If they carry on being abusive or whatever, the Moderator can take a view and apply another ban.
What do people think?
PS - I am soooo looking forward to the meeting when we all get together next year. How some "people" will actually attend is beyond me and I notice that some have already said they will "stear clear". Multiple personalities are so difficult to maintain in the real world are they not!
