    Denny banned for how long?

    http://forums.contractoruk.com/members/denny.html

    banned

    Does that mean temporary or permanent?

    I do hope it is temporary - though I expect I am in a minority. And who could blame the mods for a permanent ban?

    Perhaps they changed the rules as I suggested, that posters must have at least a tenuous grip on reality... no, that can't be it. I'm still here.

    I hope it's temporary too. Occasionally she's made useful contributions, and it's always fun to have someone to argue with.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      So if I say something now and Denny can't hear me, am I still wrong?
      Blog? What blog...?

          I wouldn't.

          Denny was the first, second and third person to really flame me when I was a newbie. Or at least, that I can recall.

          All I have seen from that individual is stirring of trouble and hypocrisy.

          I can see how Troll and Churchill and the rest of the General brigade behave and I suspect most newbies work out their "No. Next" responses are to be ignored.

          But Denny's precision pulling-to-pieces of posts and personal attacks are genuinely nasty. Not random, poor-humour "Then you're not good enough to be a contractor" responses but bitter, vindictive and cruel stabs at an individual's thought processes and approach to life.

          I'm not frightened of General any more (well, less so) but I have always been loathe to post in any thread in which Denny was active.
          Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

            I just wanted to capture this so that if she returns she sees it!!!

              I believe Denny to be the vindictive, petty, frustrated, embittered alter ego of one of the other posters. Denny may even have started as a joke, but as the Denny personality grew, it took over the normally more pleasant original member.

                How long is this for? How am I supposed to troll when some of the best troll fodder has been removed?

                    I'm glad she is gone she flew the flag for the newbies but was an utter bitch to me.
