Just a thought, a few weeks ago people were bemoaning the low rate of posting and debate, yet when our (semi) resident heretic drops in with what many people consider a relevant (yet boring) debate he is banned. Don't get me wrong, I've argued the toss with him on here as much as the next man, but what I do say is we can't sit and wonder why there is no debate when we just shut someone out because he doesn't agree with everyone.

I hope my credibility is strong enough here to not get me banned with the following observation.

How is banning KBEES so different to what used to happen to us on BBC 606?

It could be argued that a lot of posters stopped posting on here because of the constant ticket price arguements.

It is no coincidence that he has been banned off several Leeds sites, and I am happy he's gone. We have had record numbers on this site during the last week (Kbees banned) and I think it will continue to rise without him. He will attempt to join again, he does with most sites, I do believe I've spotted him on 2 sites he's banned off, but thats up to the admin and mods to keep an eye out for.

I hate to admit that you were right, but you were, i should of taken your advice a year ago, our place has never been better in the last 4 days. Please please don't tell me youve spotted him on our place again becasue im really shit at spotting these things. Half six on sat by the way pal.

Do you know all the ones who joined on Sunday.

Is there one in particular i should be looking out for, because not all of them are posting, so its hard to check the ips of the ones that arent!

I dont have a problem with KBEES, and I see SS' point. I don't even mind him talking about the same things, you don't have to reply. But he knows he crosses that line with personal insults aimed at certain members, and that we can't have. I told him last night if he could stop being so naughty he could probably stay........by the time I had sent it I think he was banned :lolanimate:

Personal insults are a different thing altogether, but again if his point is debated reasonably and he can keep a lid on getting personal about it, then surely the debate is healthy.

Question - do the people who insult him in a similar fashion get dealt with in the same way?

thats a very good point, and i personally will admit that ive insulted him back (how playground does that sound). And am happy to take the consequences for that, however, ive only done it if i think hes deserved it, probably still doesnt make it right.

Did you get banned for hacking into my account and building toilets? :lol:

Again I see where you are coming from, but if you are banned and sneak back on, if you make a personal insult the moment you come back you are only asking to be banned again. I'd be happy for him to be given another chance, we are starting to get some posts again now and the more the merrier and I really don't mind KBEES. But I dont think the personal insults will stop on either side, its gone to far for that.

I've insulted him back and would be quite happy to suffer the consquences but mine was in retaliation to constant (and in private) abuse.

I let plenty of stuff go, but he not only sends abuse he also ignores peoples comments. The whole point of debate is one of discussion, which comes from people engaging with others.

He sends insults out both in public and private, refuses to answer questions and doesn't bring anything original to the table. the last two are his own personal choice and he can be ignored, however the first one was dealt with when he was on here originally, every other time since he follows the same pattern.

IF he generated debate but also had the courtesy of replying to people without abusing them then he might have been given a chance.

I know that i and at least one other got put off by him posting the same topics over and over again, i am sure there were more who didn't post because of it as well. the board is better without him, and will be better if we left discussing him alone as well.

Haha the toilets.... that was sooooooooooooo funny! :lolanimate: Are your passwords still as predictable? Mine aren't (anymore....!)

Points about KBEES all taken, I just thought I'd try and stimulate some debate.
