    Mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?

    It isn't always the case that sanction results in a post being removed or deleted. Sometimes it remains as a warning to others, I have seen that many times over the years.

    It was Brian Lenihan senior who many years opined on the futility of consistency, and he was correct, though probably not in the context he meant. Different situations demand different responses, and mods will therefore appear inconsistent at times. The same applies in the judicial system.

    Are you taking issue with any of the substantive points in my post?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,438 ✭✭✭✭markodaly


    Never had a problem admitting I overstep mark.

    You are being told here by the Admin that you do, yet instead of accepting it, you have thrown your toys out of the pram and have blamed everyone else for your predicament.


    I have never known a situation where I posted something knowing it was against the rules

    It's funny that you believe that.


    Instead of blanket bans which are selectively ignored for some(see above), why not mod properly and assess if it is a deliberate attempt to divert?

    Because threads turn into a mess with posters who are timesinks for the mods.

    The reason there is a long ban list in threads like the SF thread or the Russia/Ukraine thread is that there are some people posting there with an agenda. Sure, why else did other posters like McMurphy create multiple accounts and post under different names?


    Francie, no one much has any sympathy for you. To be honest I'm surprised you were allowed back after your own Sockpuppet incident but the mods/admins have the final say.

    Take responsibility for your own actions for once instead of blaming everyone else.

    I respect the work Mods have to do, I've been here a long time.

    I cannot respect the work this mod is doing and it has become an issue as anyone can see. Look at his two vainglorious first posts here, playing to an audience(soapboxing I think the charter calls it) and not addressing the issues raised.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,367 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    Perhaps you could explain it for those of us in the cheap seats. You claimed the poster can't actually respond when there was nothing stopping them responding and they did respond not long after.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,321 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    How is leaving the post as is, a 'warning to others' blanch? Right up to my ban posters where circumventing the ruling. Is 'a certain other party' familiar as a device to you?

    Feck sake, stop the coy nonsense. How many times where you challenged on the government thread for doing it. Fecking bullshit and you know it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,199 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    I misunderstood , I thought the poster was banned from this thread also but quite happy they are not . I've not come across you before on a particular thread which I've not referenced but , suffice to say I and many others have a long history with a number of individuals & I'd crash the site if I were to post even a sample of that History.

    If you booked in advance, you might avoid those Cheap seats 😏

    More coy nonsense.

    'Posters with an agenda'?

    What the hell are you Mark only a 'poster with an agenda'? Laughable.

    You are only here to vent your spleen and take potshots, have at it.

    so you got something wrong yet it is the poster you responded to that was up to their usual nonsense?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,199 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    Sorry not going to get into something you clearly don't understand, take some time if you will and read my OP and observations 😏 try to understand the concept of context when quoting my posts .

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,438 ✭✭✭✭markodaly


    And who the f**k wants to post on a thread like the Shinner one that has been hollowed out into a veritable echo chamber? 

    The SF thread is still going strong, with robust debate, within the rules outlined by the mods. Much better than

    the cluster **** it was when we had sockpuppet accounts and all types posting in there wasting our time.


    Good to have it confirmed you haven't been warned or prohibited from mentioning certain things, I suspected as much.

    I have not confirmed or denied anything. Unlike yourself, I'm not going to go on about my own interactions with the mods, but they sure as hell haven't been near as extensive as yours. I don't want to waste their time, as I know it's a thankless task. I tend to leave them be and not bother and badger them. That difference in attitude between us is telling, that you think they are there to serve your every need. You come across as very needy and paranoid tbh. It oozes from your posts and posting style in this thread.


    You never had any discernible restrictions placed on what you could say, from my own experience engaging with you

    Oh, is this your attempt to drag me down with you?

    For clarity, from memory, I've had one thread ban, but have had some warnings and the like. Usually, when that happens I take a step back, tell myself its just the internet and get on with my life outside of boards. The odd time I engage the mods but I don't drag them through the hot coals. I get on with it and not pout and moan about it


    I have reported you many times for it, but you have repeated them, so proof positive of inconsistent modding that seems to favour some

    I'll come back for a look at CA sometime and I guarantee there will be still those same posters getting away with circumventing mod instructions and those getting pinged for it.

    Francie, you come across as very paranoid. There is no conspiracy on boards.ie out to get you. None.

    Yes, we know you think the Admins have a Royalist anti-SF agenda. We know your propensity to engage and give credence to conspiracy theories, but ill repeat. There is no anti-mod agenda on boards out to get you, or others 'like' you.


    You seem to be able to navigate it,

    I navigate it because I don't post nonsense and double-down on it time and time again. I don't dance on pin-heads and divert the topic. I know how to step away, I know when to engage, and know how to talk to the mods. You seem to lack all those characteristics.

    The problem ain't me, or the mods, or the admins, its you Francie.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,367 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    it is all pretty clear. you made a mistake and then decided to go on the attack rather than admit it to them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,438 ✭✭✭✭markodaly


    I've not been on this site for about 4 or 5 days, so how can I post angry personal attacks daily?

    Perhaps you are over-egging the pudding and I am doing no such thing?

    In fairness BB, you don't have much to contribute most of the time apart from coming across as angry, put out with a chip on your shoulder.

    Like I said to Francie, take a look in the mirror and take responsibility.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,199 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    No, I made an error, admitted it and my point actual proven, not at all sure why your obsession with my contribution here, please read the posts after my OP, you may have been fortunate enough not to have been on the receiving end of some astonishing behaviour, I have as have others, why not ask others, instead of focusing on one post 😉

    Defend the indefensible by all means, my issues have been clearly spelled out, now I'm off to cut the grass.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,438 ✭✭✭✭markodaly


    As for having no right to free speech, why do you have that right?

    I don't follow.

    Oh FFS.

    Do you honestly think the posters you reference are FF or FG members or paid to post here or some other such nonsense? Just listen to yourself.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,438 ✭✭✭✭markodaly


    Yes, I would like an answer to this as well. I doubt we will get clarity though, more feigned ignorance though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,195 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    Your original post was very clear. You believed that the banned poster could not respond and attacked another poster on that basis. You were incorrect on that point that the poster couldn't respond, thereby deeming your attack embarrassing to you. Nevertheless, you want to double down on it and defend it, which I find strange.

    Sometimes posters are accused of "running away". A more likely interpretation is that they accepted that they were wrong, and stopped debating a point, (or that they had something else to do in their life). That is a much better way to handle boards, than defending everything 24/7.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,438 ✭✭✭✭markodaly


    I didn't create this thread, Francie. Brucie did with your alleged support from the backend via PM's to have a go at Beasty and some other mods. Looks like it has not gone as intended, eh? ;)

    Again, take responsibility for once. Use it as a learning experience in life and move on.

    I actually think that they do honestly believe that other posters are paid to post here by FF and FG.

    This all started with the sockpuppet account which regularly posted a stock picture from an election campaign of 15 years ago of 6 lads in a room on computers in FG which were monitoring social media. In the end it was completely ironic, given the source.

    'Defending everything'?

    Now who does that remind me off?

    😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,367 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    you're probably not smart enough to understand the context of it like I am apparently.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,367 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,199 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    Yes Blanch unlike you I freely admit when I've made an error and yet you relish on it, your posting history plain for all to see and it's that which is actually embarrassing.

    As you well know and much to your frustration I never run away and will continue, like many others to call you out. Its of course fitting and predictable (remember that word we've often discussed) that here you are again at the same tiresome nonsense again.

    You deflect, rarely if ever stick to any topic relevant to a thread albeit admittedly don't go off in tangents like others, I'll grant you that 😉 but time and time again have to be corrected, I don't have the patience of others but I'm still regularly bemused by you.

    You and @blanch152 keep on hijacking the thread. Repeat after me, 'it is not to have a go at mods, it is to request more mods'. We currently have an admin posting, spouting unsupported conspiracy in official capacity as an admin.

    I created this thread. I told francie about it. He has his views. Yourself and blanch are just in to have a go.

    It's attack attack attack, anyone would think they were trying very hard to get the thread closed.
