2533 Please correct me if I am wrong.

Don't worry, we'll correct you even if you're right!

Some people are getting a bit carried away at times; it's difficult to just keep reading tripe that gets more outrageous (and pointless) in its assertions so a) do we make silly/sarky comments to try and get things back to earth, b) say nothing and leave well alone, c) go and have a sulk, or d) all/none of the above? :)

Or, e) accept that sometimes people have opinions different to your own, accept that providing they're lawful and reasonable opinions you could always simply walk away, come down here, and, maybe complain that you are so bored that you're considering setting up multiple identities so that you can argue with yourself, perhaps...

"All very dull... "

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Is it that we've done every possible thread to death, or is everyone a little dull today?

This is supposed to be the worst day of the year, so maybe that's it?

I am thinking of setting up a new alias so that I can agrue with and hurl insults at myself, I'm that bloody bored... "

[LEFT]I can not believe it! This is not the George we knew and loved on forum! The King of crass comments and dry sense of humour!

Ahh, I get it, it wasn't the real GeorgeS that returned at all but an impersonator. Which probably explains since return, all posts have been very meak, just not like the old George at all. But the plot thickens, we have had photos of "the puppies" so this impersonator has clearly taken over his house too.

Think we better all pile down the pub and find out whats really going on. With the mood Aliena's in this pseudo George won't stand a chance! Come to that I aint too happy either! I WANT THE OLD GEORGE BACK! [/LEFT]

You leave our Georgy Peorgy Puddin alone, cos we luv im. ;)

[LEFT][quote=Aliena]Trulli..

Aliena ain't in a mood with anyone.. this new George asked to be told and Aliena decided to oblige 'cus this new George simply needed telling!

Seriously.. who else was gonna do it?

:) :)[/quote]

ME, cos I don't like this new George, want the old one back tout suite!! New George needed tellin!
[/LEFT]

It's only now I see the change, have been too busy posting drivel to notice before! Well if old George doesn't pull new George to his senses something has got to be done or I will chain myself to the forum in protest! :( Oh I already am!!! Damn!

Why would you assume that I or any of the others moderating the forum would need to shout, "I am a Moderator" from the rooftops, no one would have behaved differently would they...

threads have been closed without warning in the past, and I would still lock a thread without warning in the future if needs dictated, this gives all parties the chance for a time out without removing the thread.

I did NOT manipulate the situation, I did try to illustrate to a poster that he was making a mistake in the reading of a post.
[*]YOU ARE WRONG to impose your views on others
I am not aware that I was imposing my views on others to any degree that is not done by anyone posting anything on an open forum.

[*]YOU ARE WRONG to restrict the rights of others
Part of the role of moderators is to help others to exercise their right to post without being attacked by people who think it is their right to post in order to start arguments.
[*]YOU ARE WRONG to restrict freedom of speech
There is no restriction of freedom of expression, the thread was degenerating, to allow that to happen restricts freedom of speech in that people are reluctant to post unless they want to be drawn into an argument immediately
[*]YOU ARE WRONG to believe you will suppress force with force
"Force"
[*]YOU ARE WRONG to think we need monitoring
I wasn't the one who decided the forum needed monitoring, nor was I the one who sought out additional moderators because of the level of activity which was deemed to be unacceptable
[*]YOU ARE WRONG to try to compartmentalise people
I am not compartmentalising anyone, people have their own groupings if they decide that is what they want, and they will always do so, simply though, the discussions, or arguments should be restricted, as this one is, and held in the area, Circolo reserved for them

[*]YOU ARE WRONG to not apologise for closing it
Apologise to whom ?
[*]YOU ARE WRONG to do it again without just reason
I didn't, as you are aware (I have posted this several times) I don't post in the evenings, RL takes over and I deliberately chose a time limited ISP to get me away from the machine in the evenings.
[*]YOU ARE WRONG to think you will make others change
I do not imagine for one second that I will make others change, and like many others, I will be saddened if the refusal of some people to change results in the death of the forum

So, can we get on with normal service.

[QUOTE=Aliena]Gosh George!!

Look at that black eye you've got! Did you have a fight down the pub last night?

I'd hate to see the state of the other guy though.. 'cus I'm sure you beat him senseless! Want some steak? ;)

Black Eye, :confused: you must be thinking of someone else...

[LEFT]This is scary, which George gave George the black eye and which George has come back from the pub and is this back to normal service? Is this George's sense of humour so dry that I missed it?[/LEFT]

YOU ARE WRONG to abuse "power" as a moderator on this Forum.
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]There was no "abuse of "power" my decision to close the thread was supported by the 2 other moderators on line at the time.[/QUOTE]
Then who re-opened it?

YOU ARE WRONG to not reveal openly you have this recent 'status'
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]Why would you assume that I or any of the others moderating the forum would need to shout, "I am a Moderator" from the rooftops, no one would have behaved differently would they[/QUOTE]
I didn't suggest you shout from the rooftops. But, other Moderators are not PATRICIANS are they?

YOU ARE WRONG to close threads without warning
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]threads have been closed without warning in the past, and I would still lock a thread without warning in the future if needs dictated, this gives all parties the chance for a time out without removing the thread.[/QUOTE]
Who dictates the needs? Do you have a forum guidebook and/or job description to refer to? If not, may we have an explanation why not? If your needs dictate locking a thread in the future, how long will it be locked for and how sure are you when you state it will not be removed?

YOU ARE WRONG to manipulate a situation in order to push the button
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]I did NOT manipulate the situation, I did try to illustrate to a poster that he was making a mistake in the reading of a post.[/QUOTE]
I disagree. I believe you manipulated the situation.

YOU ARE WRONG to impose your views on others
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]I am not aware that I was imposing my views on others to any degree that is not done by anyone posting anything on an open forum.[/QUOTE]
You imposed your view when you locked the thread.

YOU ARE WRONG to accuse others of sins you also commit
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]I accepted that I was guilty of the sins, I stated that quite clearly at the beginning of this post[/QUOTE]
You did not state this in the thread you locked and admitting the sin before committing it, does not excuse it.

YOU ARE WRONG to always be so self righteous
I repeated myself. See below. You missed one

YOU ARE WRONG to quote out of context
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]I used a full quote to illustrate a point I was making ref. people seeming to only want to provoke an argument[/QUOTE]
You quoted out of context in the thread you locked. You decided it was something that you could use to push the button and deliberately highlighted a post to further your crusade.

YOU ARE WRONG to manipulate a situation
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]You're repeating yourself, see above[/QUOTE]
You missed one, see above..

YOU ARE WRONG to restrict the rights of others
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]Part of the role of moderators is to help others to exercise their right to post without being attacked by people who think it is their right to post in order to start arguments.[/QUOTE]
When did you become a moderator? I am sure it was within the past ten days as this is when you starting pouncing! You have been itching to push the button for days George!

YOU ARE WRONG to restrict freedom of speech
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]There is no restriction of freedom of expression, the thread was degenerating, to allow that to happen restricts freedom of speech in that people are reluctant to post unless they want to be drawn into an argument immediately[/QUOTE]
You restricted any freedom because you locked the thread. It was your opinion only that decided it was degenerating. I believe it had not even developed at the time you looked it. Why is your opinion more valid than mine?

YOU ARE WRONG to believe you will suppress force with force
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]"Force"[/QUOTE]
I don't understand your one word reply.

YOU ARE WRONG to think we need monitoring
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]I wasn't the one who decided the forum needed monitoring, nor was I the one who sought out additional moderators because of the level of activity which was deemed to be unacceptable[/QUOTE]
I accept you did not seek the post, but I honestly believe you are not moderate.

YOU ARE WRONG to try to compartmentalise people
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]I am not compartmentalising anyone, people have their own groupings if they decide that is what they want, and they will always do so, simply though, the discussions, or arguments should be restricted, as this one is, and held in the area, Circolo reserved for them[/QUOTE]
Look at how you word your reply George.. 'groupings', 'restricted', 'held', 'reserved', We are not prisoners. Everyone may mix freely, but you can not keep some in the 'playpen' any more than you can keep arguments out of the open forum.

YOU ARE WRONG to state every thread degenerates into argument
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]That was not stated by me as an absolute, "it seems that" [/QUOTE]
I accept it's not every thread, but if you are going to continue to moderate in this fashion.. it could well be.

YOU ARE WRONG to stop a thread developing
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]It had ceased to be, it was a dead thread.[/QUOTE]
Because you decided to kill it!

YOU ARE WRONG to attempt to "push members down here"
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]This section is reserved for discussions on discussions, the other section of the forum is open to anyone directed from the net, or the magazine to read informed discussion on subjects Italian, not to view squabbles about Regions[/QUOTE]
Incorrect..read your handbook.

YOU ARE WRONG to attempt to 'tidy up' the Forum
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]That is a function of the moderators too[/QUOTE]
I accept new brooms sweep clean but Moderators with 'tidy up' minds must still be moderate.

YOU ARE WRONG to think everyone wants to always be serious
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]I am well aware of this fact, have never felt that everyone needs to be serious[/QUOTE]
Happy to see you concede on this point.

YOU ARE WRONG to think others don't enjoy fun sometimes
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]As above[/QUOTE]
Ditto

YOU ARE WRONG to not reopen the thread
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]The thread was, I believe re opened after a time lag, I wasn't on line at the time[/QUOTE] It should not have been closed..that's why it was re-opened. We know it was not you that reopened it, therefore it MUST have been someone else with the power who did it. Why did they choose to reopen a thread that had, in your opinion, degenerated and was dead? Possibly, because they also disagreed with its closure and had a more balanced moderate approach.

YOU ARE WRONG to not apologise for closing it
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]Apologise to whom?[/QUOTE]
At the very least, I would like you to apologise to me. But, I know you will not.

YOU ARE WRONG to do it again without just reason
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]I didn't, as you are aware (I have posted this several times) I don't post in the evenings, RL takes over and I deliberately chose a time limited ISP to get me away from the machine in the evenings.[/QUOTE]
I said 'again'

YOU ARE WRONG to think you will make others change
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]I do not imagine for one second that I will make others change, and like many others, I will be saddened if the refusal of some people to change results in the death of the forum[/QUOTE]
I will also be saddened if your refusal to change results in the death 'of the forum'.

YOU ARE WRONG to think no one will challenge you
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]I never thought that for a minute, just keep your bile from the open forum[/QUOTE]
Are you really so sure that my bile isn't simply stuck in your throat and that's why you are angry with me George? Your argument degenerates with this comment. It's spiteful.. shows nastiness.. fear.. imbalance and flaws your argument totally. Is that moderate?

YOU ARE WRONG to believe others are not as angry as I
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]Ahhhh, but how many others will quietly, because they fear reprisals, simply sit thinking "he was right you know[/QUOTE]
So far I cannot see support for what you did or the way you did it, however, there are more than a few others who didn't like it. I understand you remain convinced that you were right.. this is the only reason I am taking a gentler approach with you George.

But.. most of all.. YOU ARE WRONG if you think I am sorry to tell you.. YOU ARE WRONG!
[QUOTE=GeorgeS]Why would I imagine you would be sorry to voice your personally held opinions???[/QUOTE]
I was rather hoping that you would be sorry that you had voiced yours when you pushed the button.

Also, if you.. or anyone else.. thinks that I am worried about how outrageous you think this posting is.. YOU ARE WRONG!![QUOTE=GeorgeS]And, at least it's in the correct section reserved for discussion of this type[/QUOTE]
I would have answered you in any thread, in any section of this forum, where you posted a question such as you posted here. It would have been pointless to answer this in another thread.. unless it was called the 'totally pointless thread' and surely then, anyone who answers in a totally pointless thread has a pointless need to do so.

We are different George, thats all, probably from different planets. I have mine and you have yours, but this doesn't mean that I will not welcome you to my world.. or that I need to visit yours very often.

I am bored now and I want to play nicely. So, if you are happy to be moderate, I'm very happy to forget it.

The spaceship is waiting. I'll pick you up from the Pub and fly you home safely.. and in the morning after a good nights sleep.. I'll fly you back to the Forum.

I'm sure you will find no one has strayed too far and we didn't need the crook so tightly around our necks after all. That's all I was trying to say.. Aliena style.. and we all know she is not moderate.. but she's not on the 'payroll'.

Not that I think you're getting paid, but if you are.. can I borrow a tenner?

:) :)

[QUOTE=Aliena]I sincerely apologise to all for 'reserving' this space for later, as I have to go out now and do not have the time to reply as I would like. I reserve so I may reply to, and follow on more or less directly from Georges post above.

AlienA, ref post no 28, which for some reason you have edited in this afternoon.
I have nothing to add to my original reply to your attack on me and my moderation, other than to point you to the original post which was to ask if I was wrong to ask if posts of this type should be restricted to this section of the forum.
Also, reference your parting shot, there is no payroll, my understanding of the moderation job is that it is entirely voluntary, however, as you have already suggested that my honesty is questionable, I have asked Ronald to confirm this point to you, then perhaps we can get back to normal service.
Should you ever feel thet we could reach a "no hard feelings" stage following this attack, the answer is no, however, my professionalism will always prevail and I will endeavour at all times to treat you with the courtesy you extend to others.
Other than awaiting Ronalds confirmation of the financial status of the moderation job, I trust this matter is now closed.

No GeorgeSSSSSsss

You may not trust this matter is now closed.. unless of course.. you push the button! ;)

In fact, the most overused words on this forum are not as most may think.. "Puglia" but are in fact, "in my opinion" often used as a get out clause so I will not use them here.

This last post of yours again shows traits and flaws to your approach as a Moderator on this forum.

You did not read my post correctly before commenting on it. You are now a Moderator and as such I assume you must be moderate. I still believe you are not capable as you cannot read and understand my simple post.

I edited for the reason stated. I misspelt the word "TENNER" I know it not a difficult word, but for some reason my keyboard got stuck and typed to many Ns.. Just as yours must have jumped to CAPS LOCK when you typed AlienA. oopsssss.. ssseemsssss my SSSS key is sssstuck asssss well. Thats better.. I've managed to fix it.

I never said you were getting paid.. I actually said "Not that I think you're getting paid, but if you are.. can I borrow a tenner?" and that has a completely different meaning from what you are trying to suggest George. I also never actually said anything about no hard feelings, but if you want to have it continue in that vein..that is up to you! Your choice.. but how professional is that attitude?

I also say you are not moderate if you treat anyone in any other way than you treat every other member of this forum. Even as a Moderator you do not have the right to discriminate against or single out any member for 'special' treatment.

:) :)

George, stop being pompous. Aliena, don't you have some cooking to do? ;)

Could you all give it a rest. George is certainly not being payed for this - moderating is voluntary.

Aliena, you've had your say. We know you are not happy about George being a moderator. That's enough.

If you are in the future unhappy with some of his moderating decisions then just let me know and we will review them (but let him take some decisions first!!)

Now the matter IS closed.

came in for a break, i seemed to be putting on ska music.which i thought was
ok,but when the more academic students came in, i always seemed to be putting quo or stones on........see my confusion!

Hooray let George ride his scooter, vespa or otherwise, My husband rides a vespa and a gilera so vroom vroom let the spotlights and scooter type things commense, beep beep mind the fast cars on the motorway. adriatica tell them please!!!!!!!!!!!

I should add that when my husband drives in Italy he seems to become......... Italian, yes i find it scarey but no i won't swop places yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
