    What about forgiveness and repentness. Some people might have changed and others might not have the wisdom of some of our courageous leaders like old Greg and other celebrities.

    But with patience fortitude perseverance and mentor ship from the established fearless posters here these young buds will flourish into able younger versions of themselves

    Alternatively people might just have different view points and with companies stressing diversity in gender race and other areas we might also respect different view points

          If you find something boring, annoying or you think someone is trolling, why not just ignore it? Don't engage. If I got involved in responding to everything I didn't agree with or everything I found annoying on the internet, it'd be a full time job.

            You are right and for most they are ignored, but when we start to lose decent posters because of the trolls and sockies then surely that is not good for CUK?

            Debate and heated but controlled arguments is fine, but some of these trolls are here ONLY to argue and have nothing of value to add. If this is also a user that has already been banned then surely a ban is a ban?

              Churchy is still an antisemite. Hard to respect that.

                I think you will find most people here are genuine and decent and here because they are / want to be / or were contractors.

                Its your wild imagination and excitement that everyone is Atw in disguise - I m afraid to tell you thats not true and your fantasy should be put at rest

                  Some people have been allowed back because they begged admin, and promised to behave.

                  Sockie banning is somewhat more problematical. Banning someone for a day, or even for months, is rather easier. It tends to be reasonably clear that these posters are who they say they are. And if we screw up (I know, hard to imagine), it's easy to reverse. A permaban of someone who is relatively new is not simple to reverse if a mistake is made. And while it's easy for a member to demand that someone they suspect of being a sockie be permabanned, it's not quite as easy when you're responsible for making the decision.

                  There have been cases where "everyone" knew an account as a sockie, but we did receive evidence from them of their genuineness.

                  Anyway, sockie accounts have never been disallowed. Only if they cause irritation (to the mods, mainly) or egregious trouble. Some people are rather more delicate little flowers than others...
                  Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                    And yet you're constantly harping on about CUK being full of anti-contractors ......

                    You're doing well at being wrong today - I've never accused anyone of being ATW, in disguise or otherwise.

                    Feel free to come up with some more crap, should you so desire

                      My explanation is as follows - Not anti contractors just mean ones

                      Dont worry though - Time usually fixes that
                      You have stated many times that people are sockies which is just a euphemism for someone else in disguise.
