Can we ban or at least bitch slap the guy being a jerk in the Iran threads

[ProfJohn]

People in Iran are literally dying for a chance at freedom and yet we have some jerk going into the Iran threads making an ass of himself.

If we can't ban him can we at least send him a mean PM and tell him to cut the shit.
troll one

Those protestors are just a bunch of losers who can't accept the result.

You started a riot and now you have to pay for consequences.

This thread has run it's course.

What are you saying, he can't have an opinion unless it is the same as yours?

No, there are lots of people in those threads who disagree with me and others.

But at least he could present his ideas in a respectful manner, especially in regards to the people who are being killed.

He does tend to ignore everyone who does not have the same opinion as him. I've been told by some people in P&N this this is 'good' and that it's the entire point of P&N. :Q

Oh please, most of P&N disagrees with ProfJohn most of the time and he doesn't bring it to PFI. The user in question overstepped, at least in my opinion.

Considering there's only been one single death (a shooting) that I can remember since the date of the election in these protests (including several hundred thousand in the streets in silent protest), and I've been trying to follow this closely, and now that the riot police are involved 19 people have died, it seems to me that his hateful and ignorant description of the crowds is ignorant and serves no purpose other than starting a flamewar.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

He's being an ass no doubt, but if we acted against people for that we'd have to close up shop.

Your sig tells me you are a little biased.

What does that have to do with the conversation at hand?

 

[Dumac]

I've heard worse in OT.

He wasn't overly rude with his statement, and although you don't agree with his sentiments (and neither do I), I don't believe those comments alone are worth any judicial action.

But that is just me.

Phokus should be banned for insulting other users - whis is IIRC against rules.

@OP

The posts you quoted are mild, hardly bitch slap worthy.

@Rebel44

The Phokus thread is mild as well. If it escalates, it will get shut down.

seeing how many threads have been locked down after phokus starts his phokus.txt crap, he must be on someone's favored status list since he's able to turn around and do it again.

I agree

I am moderator on another forum and over there he would be banned loooong time ago because he repeatedly ignore rules.

I was AWOL this weekend - Granddaughter's #5 bday.

Phokus has been advised on the issue.

Crossed what line? I'm cheering for your daughter. In this case, maybe the rebellious teenage spirit is a good thing and she'll reject all the brainwashing you'll try to feed her

Sounds like he was talking about and your parenting skills, not so much your daughter. FYI if you don't want your daughter mentioned by others in highly combustible debate don't use her to make a point. If you had never done that she wouldn't never have been mentioned by others.
