At the end of the day mate he's the Admin, He's the police on the boards, and you basically have to accept what he says or leave

I don't agree with you posting what he said to you on here, after all it was sent by a private message.

I'm sure you two can talk and he can point out what he believes are your wrong doings, then kiss and make up

Alex, the private message i sent you was regarding some of the rude comments you made on this thread: -



You will see the person you insulted didn't seem to consider it nothing and neither do i.

This board is not uptight in terms of conduct, and on the previous hosting the admin had many complaints due to the amount of moronic posts on here, generally lowering the tone of reasonable and intelligent threads to the schoolyard level.

When the board moved to the new server a decision was taken to clarify the rules somewhat and almost start afresh so the board can stay on track and not descend into mindless and childish insult throwing, the kind you like to throw around with gusto.

I'm here to moderate all the users of the board, whether writer or otherwise, and as you are a writer i'd have logically thought you might use some candour when posting, as the people you insult are the people who buy the magazine. You are entitled to any opinion you like as long as don't step outside the rules and general idea of what the board is about, which is calling people a fucking dunce with no provocation.

If someone you didn't know hurled such an insult with you, you'd be the first to kick up a fuss.

The point of the private message system is so things like this don't get aired in public, but as you decided to post my message to you on the public forum, i feel the other users deserve to see my response.

I'm not prepared to get into a long discussion on this, it's plainly obvious and reasonable and i'd have rather kept it private.
