handyman Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 are the members of this forum who haven't been banned 'better' than the ones who have been banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveH Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Depends on your definition of "better" If better means less rude, less antagonistic, not puerile, more able to admit you are wrong, then yes I would say that those remaining are "better" than banned. However, I prefer to look at it slightly differently in that I find it hard to believe I or anyone else is "better" than anyone. But I do think with some of the people that were on here banned, we are certainly better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michele Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 So that makes us better then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handyman Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 michele - 2007-10-16 4:25 PM So that makes us better then ? as i have already said (i say this a lot on here) i put better in ' ' as a way of showing it may not be the correct word to use, i have then invited others to choose a better word to use instead. So, is there a better way of putting it. I have given my opinion, whats yours? (on the subject) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveH Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I do not mean to sound pedantic (but that does not stop me according to SWMBO!) but just to say we are "better" is not descriptive enough. You cannot measure "better" in the same way as "bigger" or "smaller". But you can measure things like behaviour. And so I do believe that (in the context of good forum etiquette) those that are left are "better behaved" As such we are "Better off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Parke Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 My late Grandma always said to me 'Manners maketh a man' I think she was right. However, Grandpa, whilst argeeing with the sentiment, would always add, 'Yes, but not a lady'. I have no strong opinion for what my Grandpa said so no 'flak' please ladies of the forum!

malc d Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 The best way to deal with people who are looking for an argument is don't give them one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Parke Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 True, but without discussion no one or thing progresses, surely. An arguement or discussion can help clear the air and enables one side of whatever to be put up for debate. Is not an 'arguement' merely a more forceful 'discussion'!

malc d Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Absolutely. Discussion is fine but some 'arguments' are pointless. (You can put forward an argument for discussion). But when people just say things to provoke others I just think they are best ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
