    Indeed, but I've also know of forum members that have been 'forum-stalked' by other forumites, purely so that they can rubbish everything that they post.
    Some have left the forum altogether, others are still 'lurking'.

    I do mean to counter it when I can as it was a bit harsh given he hadn't seen the others.

    You're kidding? Really? I'm amazed. Whoever makes threats of that kind should be seriously ashamed of themselves. The great thing about discourse is that it gives everybody an equal opportunity to attack and defend. Violence - or merely the threat thereof - is utterly inexcusable.

    And I'll punch anyone who disagrees with me.

    Your attitude and the posters seemingly heartfelt, and long, criticism - makes me think you deserved the ban.

    What were these threads about ? I've got to say its hard to believe someone produced such a huge paragraph of abuse in response to "too many" threads.

    And assuming you came here for sympathy or agreement - what is the name of this forum so we can look for ourselves and make an informed choice ?

    First, the problem is one of 'self-reporting'. 'Have you ever experienced bullying at work?' 'Yes.' 'OK then, that's a tick.' Well, what is meant by bullying? What was the incident? What preceded it? What followed it? Yada yada.

    Second, look around you; or, reflect on your working career. 8 out of every 10 people you worked with, on average, suffered bullying at work? Ya think?
    SO, what basis do you have for thinking bullying isn't that prevelant.
    What Richard Dawkins - being highly critical in so doing - referred to as 'the argument from personal incredulity'. The important thing is, I'd happily revise my opinion if the statistic turned out to be reliable.
    I'm curious because I would regard a fair few of your previous posts as bullying in nature, if not in intent.
    Wow, you would? In what sense? Can you give examples?

    You came on and said you are the only one out of 19,000 to be banned

    Are you saying thats because you posted too many threads in the wrong place

    If so thats seems very harsh

    I would make about 5 or so a day, every day in their off topic which was the main area of the site. So almost all convos were on subjects that I wanted to talk about. Some people got annoying. Unfortunately it was the admins.

    You were annoyed by the admins

    Are you sure that coming onto a new(ish) forum and announcnig that you were the most annoying member out of 19,000 on another site is really a good start?

    And isn’t 5 new threads a day or per 25 week (or about 1,300 a year, if you have weekends off) rather a lot? What sort of subjects did you want to talk about? And are you planning on doing the same here?

    I'm not. Those day are long gone. I have better things to do with my time now, so won't be doing similar here. Maybe the odd thread though...

    Having seen the way Mr 666 posts I'm inclined to agree.

    Besides, this isn't bullying. Bullys need victims. Their relationship is one of co-dependence. Getting your puchbag removed provides no sport at all, just turns you into a shadow boxer.
