Lets not forget we have MP's, Councillors and members of the police force as members of this forum.........It only takes one to log in to the chatroom and who know's what will be the outcome?

So does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this???

That may be the case(I don't know, I wasn't there) Lindsay, but your advice still holds good.

Yes, stop replying, let it drop. It takes 2 (at least) to make an argument.

Why couldn't you all have had this argument a couple of weeks ago, then it could have been nominated for an award.

I was in the chat room for a short time last night, but it seems the contentious things were said after I left, so I cannot comment.
However, as I entered the first chat line I read was Blazey using the word s**g
So perhaps you understand why I think that she is the root cause of any deterioration of standards that may have occurred

It would be interesting to know if a record was kept of this particular chatroom activity....then we would know who was in the driving seat? or who said what?

There isn't any legal problems. If people are breaking the law (and nobody has from what I have seen) then its a problem for the authorities and that individual, sites like Accringtonweb are not directly responsible for their content because its user generated. They simply need to be able to remove it when necessary. Since chat is ongoing its not possible for the chat to be moderated anyway, hence Accringtonweb will not fall foul of anyone saying something they shouldn't.

I don't know if things have been said that I don't know about, but just because something is sick and not something you would approve of, doesn't mean its against the law, simply distasteful.

Some people like to talk about things others wouldn't dream of, some are more open than others etc., so I think its fine that some people join a separate room if they prefer to have less graphic discussions.
