Ouch.

Ok firstly I never claimed anybody would be banned for it , I simply said the use of it had been banned. Secondly you never asked for it to stop you said "first thing to be clamped down on is this very very old joke". To me that's saying it won't be tolerated rather than asking it for it to stop.

I'm not sure why you're coming out with "would you say it to my face" chat? It's clearly meant in a non offensive way , atleast that's how I took it when the poster said it and has been used over the years and obviously how atleast 1 other admin sees it.

Think you've made you're feelings clear. Perhaps it's time to drop the subject? We've made our position clear.

Really? I've responded to my quoted post , I think in a fairly fair non abusive manner and now I've been told to drop it.

No problem, I won't post on the thread again. The admins have indeed made their position clear. Crystal.

Well this escalated extensively. I'm having a bit of an 'all I said was this piece of halibut is good enough for Jehovah' kind of a feel about it. I took the initial response to mean drop using it or you'll be infracted, so that's where I've now gone with it. I'm sorry to see it go.

It's been an interesting point though because it does illustrate that different people can be looking at exactly the same thing from different perspectives and come to completely different conclusions. I always took it be be an affectionate term for people who put in hard yards of time to keep the site running, whereas others clearly feel offended by it. It's slightly worrying I suppose that this could equally apply in other contexts so that one admin's meat is another poster's poison or vice versa. Incidentally, if I ever knew what the original joke was I've long ago forgotten it.

Funnily enough I think this thread is one of the more interesting ones I've read recently too, though I'm still not clear on exactly how the infraction system works.

Where do we stand on the use of FFS? I'm a little partial to that one too...
