I`d say there is more than one reason that he got banned.

If you can`t hold you water and not descend into foul language, then you shouldn`t be here in my view.

Yep, its pretty obvious you`re not here long if thats the case......

Well there were a couple of topics where Jay got involved with heavy verbals with others.
I`d say this more than anything say to it that he got a ban.

Again I don`t see the need for foul language when discussing hurling and football.
There is enough of it from some of the drunks that go to matches.

As someone else said elsewhere, it is a sad reflection of the country, the amount of swearing that Irish people do.
It`s a real sign of low intellect.

AFR is on a power trip methinks. No call to ban JS.

thanks for the support lads.

but this is 2nd time i have been banned in a month so there`s not really any point in sticking around where i am not wanted.

it`s his board and if he keeps banning me for tiny things then i may as well hit the road.

i see super star tradesman has been banned as well, it` s all getting a bit weird.

all the best.....................................

FFS, in essence, you`ve been given a very gentle slap on the
wrist, jay.

You are back here, aren`t you, and AFR has said and done nothing
to ban you again, has he?

It`s not exactly a case for Amnesty International, is it?

Lighten up and rock with the e-punches.

It hasn`t affected Hugo/Evo/whatever-it-is-this-week too much?
He`s been banned at least three times, give or take all the other
aliases he`s been messing with over the years :  )  .

In all fairness that`s a load of rubbish. Banning somebody for using the term `f-off` isn`t harsh - it`s blatantly ridiculous. I had plenty of time for jay and I`ve also recently jousted with Superstar Tradesman on a few topics and he was banned for an inoffensive and light-hearted quip too. The two lads generally had interesting points of view yet they`ve been jettisoned for the most trivial of things.

There`s a difference between moderating a board and over-zealously policing it. Censorship for the sake of showing who`s boss around here and a `it`s my ball - I`ll do what I want with it` attitude pretty much stinks and is more juvenile than any of the rubbish I post myself. I thought AFR was here to facilitate debate rather than act as a dictator, and an inconsistent one at that, but it appears I was mistaken.

I shall also take this thread as my cue to say so long and wish all the social misfits and freaks who roam these pages all the best.
