You can disagree as much as you like. I'm telling you the facts, that's all.

If someone dismisses my thoughts. Do I not have a right to reply?
If someone makes a personal attack on me. Should I not respond ?
When someone is making a blatant slur. Should this not be remedied?

You could also ask "Does the pope wear silly hats?"
You know exactly what I'm talking about. If not, I suggest that you read the verbal abuse thread very carefully, especially the middle part.

Many subjects that have ended up there have either had a personal slant or have been discussions on basic acceptable behaviour standards.
The reason some and no doubt myself have high post counts in this section is because we do hold strong views and are not intimidated by the fact that the topic is in fight club. Which I see as, an attempt to name and shame, which puts people off expressing their views.

That's your view of the Fight Club. I have a different one. Do you have a problem with that?
Could it be that the reason for your high postcount there is that you simply cannot say "You're right. I was wrong"?. Think about it, carefully.

The thread will remain in Fight Club. If you want to discuss the broken promise in General Messages, post a new topic. That's my final word on this.
