I'll still be here going strong whatever they do or say and will out stay them all
dbphoenix said:The problem, of course, is not so much that people like ****,**** (the choice of names should be a clue here), **** et al don't understand that their "socializing" behavior is inappropriate, but that they seem not to have the slightest idea what the appropriate behavior might be. Which is why somebody has to explain to them how to behave in public. Which job, unfortunately, falls to the moderators.
Perhaps experience as a teacher in an Infant School (kindergarten in the States) would be of use . . .
fxmarkets said:By Choice? or Ignorance? not so sure on the nature... its in everyone to choose positive over negative, just takes time,education,vision, for them to get to that point maybe. Its a behavioural thing, much has been already written, but I side on nurture at this point.
Racer said:I had not read your comments when I posted mine after yours, but yes some people, not referring to anyone in particular here, do not know how to behave and the internet allows people to behave in a much less self controlled manner because they can hide behind a mask.
dbphoenix said:I don't know how it is over there, but parents and teachers over here pretty much gave up on teaching children how to behave around forty years ago. The payoff began in the eighties. And now we have the next generation.
I'd wonder what's next, but something tells me not to think about it . . .

This is more prevalent in those who post as a way of attracting new business. It is also interesting that these same people who have private boards where they will never be challenged still do a lot of posting in the public forum and the question has to be asked why?

Let's face it Trade2win has been a marvellous free advertising opportunity for the surreptitious and commercially minded and now the advertisers are complaining that they dont always get their own way. There is no doubt at all that those who have made a nice packet using Trade2win as a basis for attracting new business will always continue to post in the public forum because if they stop they will start to lose out on commercial opportunities. This will happen regardless of any level of challenge that these people perceive they are getting because where money is concerned so called "principles" will go straight out of the window.
Moderating is a thankless task and is to be commended for anyone who takes up this mantle. As we are all human then there will always be a difference of interpretation and this can be seen as inconsistent which is unlikely to change regardless of new policies or procedures.
As for mud slinging well this whole thread looks like an attempt to throw it at the moderators in an attempt to get them to conform to the views of those who stand to gain most by never being challenged on anything.

I'm perplexed, to put it mildly, that some of you think it's okay to do this - would one of you enlighten me as to how it advances your argument? I'm dead against people being banned for arguing with somebody who seems (note, seems) to be protected, which annoys the hell out of me too, but that sure doesn't excuse personal attacks. Call someone an idiot maybe!
