It occurs to me that the same people become abusive in their responses to postings & perhaps the 'Banned' option should be exercised until they make a commitment to be civil i.e. Yellow Card
Seconded. 
I presume thats aimed at me!
Presumably for daring to have an opinion that stands outside the old boys network!
And I guess because I will give my opinions in public and not in a backhand manner!
Yes it is. Every once in a while Ljay you seem to get the red mist with someone and steam into them,sometimes in quite a personal even nasty manner imo.Tonight it was Gaffers,a while ago it was Ali, and there have been others before that.
I can understand someone having a short fuse ,but I think that when they have had time to think and reflect the best thing to do is to hold their hands up and apoligise ,but that doesnt seem to be your style.It creates a bad atmosphere on the forum and goes against the grain of the community spirit which is meant to be what we are about here, and because of that there have been occasions in the past when imo the admins should really have taken some action to stop it.
This isnt intended to be a personal attack btw,just being honest,not "back handed" and trying to answer your question.
