Personal Insults & Acceptable Forum Behaviour - Your View

[aruako1]

Looks like some folks can't take the heat and won't get out of the kitchen, what is personal insult? Very soon now you people will come with a rule where we can't abuse your favorite leader. Idle folks.

It is not that. I can personally give as good as I get. However, on many threads about a topic, after some time all we read are insults. While njakiri and passionate discussion is fine, we need to have a look especially where threads are derailed due to insults. I am guilty as well.

This is why you retook your WAEC five times.

No changes needed.

We can't do much about Uncle 1naira and his favorite liquid but just ban Zee and restrict Mumucal to read-only mode and we are all fine

[otite]

This site is named Rant and Rave, How do you do that without crushing some people feelings. When you feel insulted, get out of that page and wait for an opportunity to hit back.

Well it is not happening only on rant and rave. Have you clicked the Isaac Success thread on the public Eagles Nest?

So, instead of "looking", why don't you just change your behaviour? Then the thread would only "get derailed" if you are unique.

Mumucal baba, we understand. We know you imagine things and that's why you should be restricted to read-only mode

And where did I suggest otherwise? Does 'we' not include me? This is a general problem and I am, by no means and despite my post, not one of the major culprit. Please feel free to contribute to the thread instead of turning your focus to me. Thank you.

If you go about in the public hurling insults at people it potrays something fundamentally wrong with the upbringing...no need crying about parental insults. If personal insults are allowed it is sheer hypocrisy claiming parental insults are not allowed.

Capital! The irony of it!

I am focusing on you, because you are an example of what I want to talk about! i.e because you are an example of something topical. Avoiding anything personal is an indulgence that gets in the way of discussion. Thank you for providing an example.

Your post was a complaint without any solution. When I supply the solution, you complain.

OK. How do you suggest I should have worded my observation?

Time was when this forum engaged in meaningful debates with facts to back up positions taken.
Things started going wrong when group politics got introduced to discussions. Worse still is the addition
of fake news and comedy to serious issues by some 'senior members' without any sanctions by the those
in charge. There are many threads that should have been closed, but the moderators allowed the insults
because the 'big oga them' herein are involved.
Just like the Nigeria we all like to criticize, this forum is a reflection of that. The road to sanity and intelligent
discuss rests with the governing body running things with an unbiased approach.

Quit posting nonsense.........sometimes the best contribution to a topic is silence, just do that.

[sinequanon]

There are many threads that should have been closed...

Closing the thread achieves very little. All it does is close down any possibility of meaningful discussion on the subject. By doing so, you really hand the initiative to the clowns.

Why is it that the people able to have meaningful discussion don't confine their "meaningful and informed debates" with one another?

That way, everybody is happy. The swine can roll in the mud together, and the mature members can debate together. It is a personal choice that doesn't require intervention by moderators.

If that isn't happening then it is the million dollar question, instead of pointing fingers.

I hope everybody can see what will happen to CE if oversensitive people are allowed to quash pertinent points just because they feel offended. I know of a forum that took this line and slowly became deserted, and then shut down.

Thank you for getting back on topic. Hopefully you can stay there.

Why exactly do you want them named?
So you can open them up to more insults?
Give me one good reason why you need names.

Those that have a problem with insults are already identifying themselves.
Some may choose not to.
