    So does the site just pander to the whiney little fucks now?
    You're still here and you're definitely not a whiney little fuck. If this place was just all touchy feely whiners I'd have to leave cos it'd drive me batshit. Thankfully there are still people with opinions and aren't shy so it's not all bad.

    Here's an idea.....

    The site should set up a 'Safe Zone' (sort of like a reverse Pink Hell) where the serial whiney little fucks can be banished to - so that they don't get their feelings hurt by words.

    That's the rest of the internet. The only time anything gets acted on around here (or at least should) is when it's abusive. You can be a cock as much as you like. Just don't abuse the shit out of anyone.

    I do hope that is applied consistently in future. I was not impressed when the first thread I started here was hijacked by a series of abusive posts.

    Was anyone directing abuse at you? Not the usual load of drivel certain members come out with, but directly at you?

    No, at each other and very personally abusive. I just stopped following the thread after a few days.

    There were some fairly stupid comments but that seems to be how it is here. Despite all that, there were also some helpful posts.

    That's pretty much standard for this site. You have to filter out the moronic crap from the genuinely useful stuff.

    Running a site like this you either go the "multiple shit fights a day" route or people getting offended by naughty words. Finding a balance in the middle where people get to be adults and don't have to worry about offending anyone is really difficult.

    Unfortunately, a lot of those adults really should grow up.

    So is that like when someone is abused for having mental disorders (autism, depression, etc), that should be grounds for sin-binning? Or does the post need to be reported by the person who got the abuse? Or is it a PM since the reporting system doesn't seem well managed?

    Anyone can report a post and they're all looked into and dealt with accordingly. Problem is about 95% of reported posts are from people who got a bit of sand in their vag and want someone to make it better.

    I think you are confused with the law on defamation.

    You probably need to reconsider what constitutes 'abuse'.

    TDL has admitted to being on the autism spectrum and you (in your former life as bogan) have admitted to anxiety issues.

    If someone simply reiterates those facts, it would be rather a stretch of the imagination to call it abuse.

    I very much doubt I've said that. I'm fairly certain that all I've ever said is that I have a number of character traits that could suggest mild autism. Which is not the same as confirming as being on the spectrum.

    I think you've been smelling your own farts for so long, you're starting to think they smell like roses.


    Edit: Also - FWIW - I don't think Graystone should be penalised, unless some compelling evidence is brought forth.
