I regret the decision. I don't like banning.
Every site has its own standards. This site too.
Maybe I've been too lax. Maybe I've been too harsh.
Whether this is permanent or not we'll decide some other time.
It's always one more last straw...The final straw came.
And if Scott wants to post a (reasonable) response to my banning, just email it to me and I will post it.

And since Scott can't post here... His perspective/Reaction From WATRB Scott: Just been banned from QPR Report -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apparently highlighting that one of their poster was a violent man with anger issues. For those that dont know Paul Finney has slight mental issues (not taking the mick out of that...its a medical condition) and has threatened Pete before and after inviting me for a beer attacked me out of the blue. Due to me reacting to his postings and highlighting that "at least i dont try and beat up fellow Rs" the moderators have decided to ban me. Thought better of Report if im honest, know he aint everyones cup of tea but ive always got on with him. However, to ban someone for highlighted one of the members is a fruitloop who attacks fellow fans is well, unbelievable. www.wearetherangersboys.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55410

I dont know anyone from here except Mr Nutta and everyone seems as though they just want to talk all things QPR but Scotts posts that i have read here or elsewhere just seem to me like he is trying to stir up trouble. Maybe im wrong but thats the way i read things. Maybe a cooling down period will do him good

I can only say I regret doing. And I've bent over backwards - especially if you think back to BP comments (on two seperate occasions). But I and my fellow moderators -and board visitors I don't believe this site to engage in these kind of personal ad hominems

I know you don't like doing it Mr Report - but well done, he does not deserve the time of day on this forum any more. Oh and by the way, I thought for a moment I was banned............... Attachments:

I think someone else also got banned in error. Hopefully that's been rectified.

Dont know the guy & havent got anything personal against him or any other QPR fan for that matter regardless of "banter" on QPR Internet message boards, but for the record, I personally think he should have been banned a while back for "joking" about the plane crash where the little lad broke his legs, if that didnt warrant a banning, then I dont know what does, there are certain things that you just dont say whether you are joking or not. Thats it from me on this subject, nothing against the guy, but personally think Finney brings more to this board if I am being honest, not that its a competition or anything, but Scott has come on here to deliberately antagonise & provoke, the "LOOK AT ME" act, he can hardly have a cry about it when he gets banned, can he ?? "ONWARDS & UPWARDS!"

When I say "I regret" I mean I have long avoided doing so, despite a number of "problematic" posts re BP in particular at its most egregious, but othes as well. And I'm not into any kind of messageboard moderator power trip.
And for various reasons, I've had a certain messageboard understanding with Scott. And personally I've always appreciated that he once quite WATRB over the tenor of some its posts and the tolerance of these posts, which I personally perceived as anti-Semitic. Throw in that Scott was this site's first moderator...
So I didn't want to go down this road. But I felt I had to.

No need to apologise Bowles, you made it clear on more than one occassion what your thread was about and it was certainly not about any individual Rangers fan.

Oh!come on p-l-e-a-s-e!................ little boy lost who didn't want to cause any problems! Your post was designed to 'pander' to quite a few posters on here, or cause reaction..... e.g. anti Paladini, anti QBP etc.... You compound things by making an engratiating post about Finney! Bowles, from what I see, Finney is more than able to take care of himself, and does so quite vociferously. You've ably and knowingly provided the platform to allow the various posters with 'agendas' to further their personal abuse of eachother.

I think you should read his post and subsequent ones, they are pretty clear. The fact that others chose to take it in different directions is not the fault of Bowles, in my opinion.

Good move Mike, just how long does one have to get away with stirring up crap. There is a big difference in offering differing opinions on a topic and just trolling and making offensive innuendoes in the hope of getting a few bites.
Since some trollers have been missing from here, there's been some interesting and new topics posted by some interesting and new posters. Good to see.

oh! it was a stitch up then? No, not at all... and I'm not trying to defend Scott, nor agree or disagree with the ban!. I'm merely commenting that Bowles has lit the blue touch paper, then seems surprised that a firework set off! I also thought that his ''appology'' was smarmy to say the least.

I think that's very unfair. Bowles has apologised. Although I didn't think he had anything to apologise for. We're are all adults here and should be able to control ourselves. Bowles as far as I'm concerned never said anything about Scott, he mentioned what he saw in QBlock. you seem to be accusing Bowles of stirring things by praising Finney. Have I got that right?. The reason Scott was banned was because he didn't know when to stop. He continued with his personal attack on Finney after being asked to stop many times. The original thread was locked and he started another one so he could do the same. Even after being banned he went onto WATRB to carry on. Therefore very unfair and and at the same confusing to put the blame of this on Bowles.

Well I certainly did not view Bowles' original post in that light. And in no way did I view Bowles as in anyway "responsible" for Scott's subsequent comments. (And I would be surprised if Scott disagreed with my assessment) Nor did I see any reason to doubt the sincerity of his apology. (And apologies are not that frequent an event on messageboards)
