It seems odd to me that on this board and all others (some far worse than this) one can castigate and vilify public figures, the Royal family, and just about everyone for their views and comments
Except if they happen to have expressed them on another message board.........
I refer of course to the Moron of the Year thread. There was a similar thread on another board entitled 'A Colonel Blimp of the Left' which highlighted the more extreme views of a well known extremist on yet another board. As far as I know it is still alive

Like I said. I don't want it here.You are wrong about one thing. There are NO boards which are far worse than this.If you'd like to create a board that permits exactly what you'd like to see allowed then here is a link:
www.proboards.com/create-free-forum
I look forward to joining.

I neither have the time or inclination to start another board. What I find strange is that if I wanted to (which I don't) I could impugn any poster on this board, as long as it was on this board, but it would appear not be allowed to quote the excesses of anyone on another board.

Makes sense to me. And what you have to remember Jonjel is that each and everyone of those Admins is a censortrolliat at heart. That's what attracts them to the job. mostly old and mostly women too. Make what you will of that. I bet they're bored the dears or should that be board? how old's that Betty? I think we should be told. See what I've done?

The difference is that plenty is known about public figures apart from their appearances on messageboards. People who read abuse directed at them on messageboards have plenty of other evidence on which to base en estimation of what the MB posters have said. However, it's different when ordinary private individuals are abused by others, especially when those others have got hold of scraps of personal information they can twist to their own purposes. Thus can a distorted picture of a poster be built up. For example, anyone who knows aubrey knows what a really good poster he is, and not moronic in the least. You yourself know that. It is not asking too much that anyone who wants to rubbish his character as well as his views should do so to his face, and not behind his back?

He never visits, cleefy, as you well know. He hasn't posted here for over a year.
He does post on MCL, though, and nothing whatsoever is stopping you from engaging with his views on that board. You may not be a member now, but you've been one in the past, and you obviously spend a lot of time there these days just lurking.
Not nice.

In this of all times, when we are remembering the bravery of others. What a weasel, eh?

He may visit any board he wishes, just as will I I do not engage with idiots as Spesh will aver I find MCL fascinating for the idiocy of the two posters Exco and Aubrey (I admire Mrachesa enormously for her forbearance with these two fools) but, to repeat, I do not engage with idiots Consider yourself blest that I engage with you, a borderline case

There was a similar thread on another board entitled 'A Colonel Blimp of the Left' which highlighted the more extreme views of a well known extremist on yet another board. Yes. Same poster. Not man enough, see? another example of his cowardice - the boards he posts on he is an habitual deleter of accounts and then weeks later will reappear under a different name thinking no one will notice. He's done that five times already on this board. But this is the worst board in the world so...

And you know Jean I have defended Aubrey on more than one occasion. Including on the closed 'moron of the year' thread.
If I want to take someone on I will do it toe to toe, although I have to admit to stoking the fire a bit on the 'colonel blimp of the left' thread, but he deserves all he gets in my view. I described him as a turd in a swimming pool once, with everyone getting out of the water. That was directly to him, on the MCL board, not behind his back.

That's because you, Jonjel, are a decent bloke. Not afraid. (The swimming pool gag is very funny BTW)

You seem to be implying that I talk 'behind Exco's and Moty's backs' That is not the case Both of these people are aware of the threads, undoubtedly they have read them at some time, and there is nothing to stop them replying, indeed both people have replied on the MCL board When someone 'talks behind someone's back' it means that the person talked about cannot reply and defend himself These two ijits can do and have done so

I am pondering as to where one has to draw the line to comply with the edict of Admin.
I had always assumed that if you put something on a board, which is in effect public (non members can read it) there were certain rules which applied. i.e. the rules of libel still apply, and one would not be permitted to make death threats and so on.
(That said I have seen some vile language on boards to which I don't belong and never would.)
But surely the logic is, if I was stupid enough to make moronic comments then those, since they are public can be quoted elsewhere.
Is one allowed for example to quote extracts without attributing them to a particular poster on another board?
If I tell you that one vociferous poster (infamous for quantity not quality) mooted we hand back the Falkland Islands to Argentina is that breaking the rules?
If I quote extracts from any of my own posts on other boards is that breaking the rules?
If I post a link to an entire tread on another board is that breaking the rules?
