    Ferret: Churchill Retrial Thread

    Afternoon All,

    apologies for me absence had some work to do.

    I am very sorry to hear about Winston's altercation.

    However, what worries me more is what appears to be an error of judgement on the part of Ferret.

    Ferret wrote, and I quote,

    'Ban for a day would not be fair on FaQQer and MoneyMoneyMoney who had a week on the bench for similar infractions ',


    Ferret old bean, you are failing to take into consideration Winston's mitigating circumstances of :

    . having been around for a long time amongst the brotherhood

    . having offered a balance to the community, a lot of straight talking wisdom comes from Winston

    . defender of others, there have been times when some here have been on the edge of being bullied and Winston have behaved like a gentleman and defended

    . he gives ShaunBhoy a good run for his money

    . and most of all, has a history of good behaviour and no previous convictions

    therefore, to put Winston in the same group as the behaviour of a poster entitled the 'Faqqer', a name which I am still surprised is allowed to exist here as only on first sight it brings down the integrity of the forum, I am surprised your Ferretedness, that Winston is catagorised and dealt with to the same force as newby upstarts with bad names who need a short sharp shock.

    Summing up the evidence your Ferretedness, I would suggest the honourable gentleman considers reducing the punishment and reinstating Winston, before, Winston is so offended that he does not return and the forum as a whole suffers as a consequence.

    Not to mention, tis the season of goodwill.

    All the best,

    Milan.

                Double or nothing - have a retrial and if he fails then hang 'im.

                And Milan - as you are trying to use the Media to further your cause, you will be given 50 lashes or 9 days in jail.

                    FWIW, I happen to agree with Milan... Not only do I concur with the points he made so well, if not so eloquantly, but additionally I believe that Churchill was not being intentionally defiant - I think it was a poor (in educated retrospect) attempt at humour - I, personally, saw the amusing side of it, but can understand why, in the current political light, the Mods didn't.

                    It is only fair that the Moderators of this forum Police it as they see fit - but equally, I believe that humility and an inherent understanding of the offender's mental and emotional condition are essential before the Court sits for sentencing.
