Ad Hominem Attacks

Have we really reached the point where calling someone 'a fucking retard' The Soapbox Discussion Boards[^] is not only deemed acceptable but receives upvotes?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

O, well that's alright then! :doh: There was I thinking that the rules that are posted over the Soapbox actually meant something. As they obviously don't I shall simply withdraw before I'm next on the target list for apparently beyond reproach foul- mouthed yobs to abuse. Perhaps you'll wake up before the whole forum descends into yet another troll battlefield and flamefest but I won't bother waiting around to find out, if you don't mind.

Personal attacks aren't acceptable. We're pretty relaxed about what we allow in the Soapbox, and some of the regulars will happily call each other names, but there's a line and we expect that line to be respected.

Since this reply from @ChrisMaunder the same member has continued a spate of posts which are in flagrant disregard of the terms of use and/or the guidelines both in Lounge and Soapbox, one of which would have been sufficient ground to have him arrested in the UK, yet no action has been taken whatsoever and he continues to garner upvotes and abuse those who question him with apparent impunity. It's getting very difficult to believe that this is being taken seriously despite your assurances and one is forced to wonder whether there is some reason for this apparent favouritism.

Send me a link with the personal attack and I'll look into it, but we'll look into it within the context of the entire discussion.

So it doesn't bother you in the slightest that this poster has been spewing racist hatred including giving instruction on how to kill black people this week but you might just look into a personal insult if I can satisfy you that it wasn't justified (as if any such insult could be)? What is the point of publishing terms and conditions if you have absolutely no intention of enforcing them? I'm afraid I can not countenance continuing my involvement with this site as long as it is a safe harbour for racism and incitement to hatred. I've alerted you to the cancer. I won't be around to see if you decide to treat it before it becomes terminal.
