Some members define an idiot as a person who voices an opinion that is not 'mainstream' and non-compliant with their own views.

I have been labelled an idiot in the past for some unorthodox beliefs I hold, and an ex moderator made my posting 'difficult' at times.

A site is only as good as the moderators who control it - leave it to them to make such decisions.

Some people might end up fighting themselves - less!

AudiBMWguy may have been right who's to say he is an idiot? Some people have limited views and when someone does not post in line with those views then they attack them for being different! Is that fair? To label those as idiots and then bar them just because they have different views?

This from the man who has labelled Jaysay and Neil as "idiots" in the last few days!

Where on this thread have I mentioned names?
You just assume it's him, perhaps I'm aiming closer to home than you imagine? Try looking in a mirror.

Welcome back, page 5 and now thank's to you, the thread takes a real nose dive.

No body has ever been banned for having different views although there could always be a first I suppose

Once again a demonstration of how to be n idiot without really trying.

AudiBMWguy didn't have views, he was just annoying.

Well with a title like How Many Folk Want The Idiot's To Take Over? and two rather stupid poll questions I didn't expect anyone to actually take it seriously, in fact I expected my favourite mod to move it straight into 'Anything Goes', (perhaps I should have put it there in the first place?).

I have to admit to being sceptical about the seriousness of the thread knowing how you seem to like giving folk a good prod from time to time.

I didn't vote in the poll or even look at the two questions either -I have just done so but what struck me was the title of the poll -could be taken as a bit of a "double entendre" -was that intentional too I ask myself or was it purely a Freudian slip?

What was the missing word after "Idiot's"?

So without being fully informed about the thread, (i.e. read the goddam thing) you thought you knew enough to comment?

Methinks you should at least gather all you can before forming an opinion that you want to put out on the WWW.

I don't really form opinions, I avoid having them as much as possible being fairly able at sitting on the fence - i just write what comes into my head at the moment - sort of stream of consciousness stuff.

I did read all the posts, just not the poll and the questions

I'm pretty sure you wrote the poll title realising it could be read two ways - quite clever in a way, that's how all these polls work. The market research group or those working perhaps for the local council (a random example!) place the questions in such a way as to always have the answer they want to hear! It's like statistics -there are many ways of interpreting them and you can always work things round to suit your way of thinking.

As to the WWW -I always forget that what I write here can be read by just about anybody (scary) - right now I'm just speaking to you

Don't know about after Margaret, but there's one from before - "Jibbering!" in his case!

Have you ever considered suing the Doctor that gave you that labotomy?

Oop's sorry no you can't, he's removed all your reasonable thought processes hasn't he?
