Quoting KeithL:

My last words on the matter. I deleted my own post within 5 minutes of the original posting. You (thehandsom) are giving it life and legs now to continue. Your choice...



Yes - but you didn't delete the post containing your quote did you? So it was still there for everyone to see. Thehandsom is not 'giving it life', in my opinion he has every right to be deeply offended by your comment - apology or no apology.

I think I have not explained myself clearly here.
Let me try:
(First, I have to mention what I believe : -sometimes, 'being neutral /or silent' means sharing the GUILT- if there is any.)
It all started with PKK titled thread posted by Ros.
When you look at it, everybody can see that I was NOT posting 'anything' at all into that thread.
But when I looked at it at some stage, I saw this message from the mod:
"I was thinking the same thing. What will her PKK lapdog think of this coming from her?".
I knew it was for me (and the mod accepted that fact in above posts in this thread).

Now.the forum rules say:

8. Do not post vulgar, hateful, threatening, derogatory, racist or obscene comments on this site. Any such content will be deleted. The user account of the author of such messages may also be deleted if it repeats.
9. ..... Personal attacks or insults directed towards other users will not be tolerated. Basically if you don't have anything nice to say then just don't say it all....


As an ordinary user who contributes to the site as much as anybody else, I think, I have right to ask to mods and admins some questions.

According to me, when I was not posting anything to that thread, the mod naming me "her PKK lapdog" out of blue is a quite low level attack.

It is against the rule no 8 "you have written". The comment is "vulgar and hateful".

And it is obviously a "personal attack and insult" and against the rule 9 too.

Now my questions:

can you say that "his comments were NOT personal attack and NOT vulger /hateful"?

If you do, can you tell me what is the meaning of 'personal attack'?

If you say 'no it WAS a personal attack and violates with the above rules', are you going to do anything about it?

Thehandsom, I don't think there is any question here whether it was a personal attack that was hateful, or not. It was and I don't think you received a proper apology for it either. As an admin, I apologize to you for this and I am going to make it clear to mods and admins that such behavior is unacceptable for them (especially for them), and I know that I have breached this rule myself in the past. I apologize for that as well (to various people).
Sincere apologies from the site admins.
