BAWB and firesticks

Quoted from GrimRob

I said he'd asked to leave so people would be able to distinguish it from being removed. But I see you've managed to spin it into him being a victim of free speech.

Why did you remove him straight away rather than giving him 24 hours like anyone else? Why was he treated differently?

Read the thread....He asked to leave straight away and didn't want the 24 hours Rob normally affords people...
Why I'm defending Rob I have no idea but if you're gonna have a go, at least do armed with the facts of truth..

TBF, it's not clear what the thread is from the start. Tried to follow, but just gave up and looked at the conclusion. Some posts have clearly been deleted.

Secondly, I wasn't attacking Rob, I was asking a question. I had no idea that wasn't allowed.

"He asked to leave. Normally I give people 24 hours to confirm, but in his case I removed him straight away."

This sentence implies usually those that ask to leave are giving 24 hours. The construction of the sentence implies a different process this time.

Because I'd already sent messages to him twice this week about abusive posts. He promised to not do them and then did it multiple times.

You said you normally give 24 hours, but on this occasion did not ?  
Why ??   And why publish it ???
Yes he was cantankerous without a doubt.  But some of the abuse he got was unwarranted in my opinion.  I really hope that he’s ok.  
I’m not saying you personally denied free speech.  But the abuse he got on here certainly did.
For someone to actually ask to be removed rather than just not come on, would indicate a problem to me.  Of course you have no responsibility towards posters and rightly so.  
I sincerely hope you left an invite to return if he so desires !!

Do you send messages to everyone that posts abuse.  Far far worse than he did.  
I could  easily be wrong.  But I don’t think he ever reverted to some of the foul language that some use in many of their posts !!

Hi. I don’t know BAWB, but I know who he is.
I’ve never spoken to him but exchanged PM from time to time.
Our exchanges have always been sensible.

I’ve no idea what’s happened and whether he is suspended or not.
However I do know I’ve read nonsense and unacceptable comments from more contributors than I would prefer. I won’t name them but please be careful what you wish for. I’m happy to give the moderator a list of the people I would happily ban from this site.

Unfortunately our predicament in the league has brought out the worst as feelings are so high comments are being made with out much thought. Sad state of affairs in need but I for one will renew next year what ever league we’re in as I can’t help myself, it’s my club whatever. UTM!

No. It wasn't really the language that was the problem just the scale of it. Just replying to lots of messages saying "feck off" or "more garbage".). I said you need to say why or press the red Cross if you just want to disagree without comment.

I suspect regardless of who said what & didn’t say what I would imagine being on the Fishy wasn’t great for BAWBs well being, some people just aren’t set up for that kind of engagement.
