I can't see it.
You don't want to see it you mean.

Xman I think the issue here is refusal to prove statement and not the statement itself as such. Statement is made, challenge is made. That should stay for evidence as Beaussie suggests. It's the refusals and excuses and so on that should be deleted.

The alternative is to go for a zero tolerance where all claims are either accompanied by evidence, acknowledged as opinion, or deleted no questions asked.

Seems harsh but it would cut a lot of the bs.

Then don't post.
Oi hows about you shut your trap you silly conservative bum. I'll post in whichever style i feel is necessary and that wont be in detailed boring report style like what you aim for. You'll never get mod status here as what you wish for is in contradiction to the forum, its amusing you cant even get this. Did you go and look up what the word fight means for me? Think lad, just stop and think about what you're rambling on about with context in mind.

Oh yeah, King, and look where your handling of Topper got you as TLPG rightly pointed out on the Forum Site Issue board. A moderator on this forum! So you brought this on yourself, bub! Whichever style you like hey? You just lost a part of your style and it's your own stupid fault!

Xman I've been thinking and yes your last observation would eliminate a lot of BS. But Beausie does have a point, so how about this? Get Beaussie to start a sticky thread here and locked so that only you and Beaussie can post on it, and you list the comments that have been made and note that they have not been proved and are therefore BS. A BS file if you like.

Thoughts?

I quite like that. A BS file!

We could keep a tally and see who make the most BS claims!

At the end of the year we could have the winner of the BS medal.

This may keep people from making continuous claims they can never support with facts.

Thoughts everybody?

I love the idea of a BS medal!! I didn't think of that when I made the suggestion for the file!

Look, we already know that's your IQ, no need to continually prove it (something you actually prove everyday).

Major, major, major chalenge here.
I have not mentioned this before as there was zero need for it.
But I was offerred the position.
It is fate that I was holidaying for 4 days and found the offer and Xman doing the job.
He is doing an an excellent job under trying circumstances.
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been so patient with people who don't seem to understand simple logic.
With all the flac he's receiving I'm relieved that fate stepped in.

It's quite simple really you state something as fact or else you qualify it. Is that so hard.
