le_chien_manquee Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 i reckon the governor needs some top knotch medical care. Obviously his own doctor isn't doing enough to get this fine, productive member of humanity back to work. It's a crying shame that such a superb example of the great work that scotland's educational system does is squandering his immense talents sitting in front of a computer all day. Can anyone recommend a really good medical professional at the top of his or her game? the guy below loves the boaby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences."The goal of Socialism is Communism- Lenin Je ne suis pas Marxiste : K Marx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRVMP Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I think a salient point that the misusers of the concept of 'free speech' forget is that your right to free speech ends where Tontastic's begins. His name is above the door, he pays the hosting, he sets the moderation agenda. The rights of any given poster on here do not trump these. However, this doesn't mean it's a free speech issue. Unless Tontastic is preventing anyone from starting up a forum or blog or chatroom of their own (and I don't think he is) then it's simply a matter of ownership. It's all well and good to ask that things be done differently on this board that we all use, but the idea that there is a right to free speech here is just a massive exaggeration. If you want to post on your own terms then you need to do it on a board of your own, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

le_chien_manquee Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 If indeed he is banned, the second question would be why? strike 5285! YER OUT - and yer a quack too. about time the mods grew some nuts and turfed the lousy **** out, if this place was a pub he'd have been slung out after 15 minutes just for being a total arse. the guy below loves the boaby.

HamCam Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 strike 5285! YER OUT - and yer a quack too. about time the mods grew some nuts and turfed the lousy **** out, if this place was a pub he'd have been slung out after 15 minutes just for being a total arse. Generally I have no issue with the above rambling but do think this place would be kind of quiet if everyone who was a total arse is slung out. Saying that though probably as well to make some exceptions for total bellends. I vote Taunton as he keeps trying to be sensible while this and other threads requires slevering inane self-important helmet stroking posts - the kind of thing MJ was a master at.

Trick37 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 A retired doctor that smokes.....isn't that an oxymoron? As far as MJ being banned, don't see why.

TonInDublin Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 To put an end to what seems like endless speculation, I can confirm that MJ's account has been suspended indefinitely. The decision to do this was not taken lightly, but has been taken using the House Rules as guidlelines. See below should anyone wish any clarification on house rules. The highlighted pieces below are very pertinent to ALL OF US, please take a few moments to read them. As stated elsewhere, we are NOT in the habit of limiting free speech, but we do sometimes have to make decisions in the best interest of the board and it's members, and as a team we stand over this decision. HOUSE RULES Welcome to GreenockMorton.org, the unofficial home of the 'Ton, we're glad you swung by. Please remember that you are responsible for what you post. The Moderation team responds to reported posts as it is able, but are not responsible for the forum's content. The forum is hosted in the UK and is subject to its defamation laws. First thing's first, this place is run by Morton fans in their spare time as a hobby. The moderators want to browse and post on the forum just as much as everyone else. The last thing we want to be doing in our leisure time is to be debating over forum guidelines or dealing with serial attention seeking, time wasting, rule breakers. If everyone (Admin and Moderators included) can follow the rules and get along then we can all have a good time. Remember guys, it's just the Internet~! FORUM RULES The decision of the Admin and Moderation team is final. Relentless badgering will not help (and probably just make things worse.) Any illegal or inappropriate content will be deleted and the user will be warned. This includes, but not limited to: Copyrighted material (text, images, downloadable files, etc.) Direct links to illegal torrents/downloads NSFW images (see NSFW Content below) Racial, religious and sexual discrimination User harassment Abusing fellow members will not be tolerated. Any posts deemed threatening or bullying other users will be deleted and the user will be warned. Posts that may be damaging to the site or to Greenock Morton F.C. may be removed without explanation or notice. Repeated warnings will result in a suspension. Repeated suspensions will result in a permanent ban. Only 1 user account per person. If you wish to change your username, let one of the Admin team know via PM and we can change it. Additional user accounts will be permanently banned. Users may also be banned without notice or explanation from the team if we feel it is in the best interests of GreenockMorton.org.
