I had no idea that disliking somebody was banned.
I doubt they operate that as a general rule. The board with be sparsely populated if they did.
From reading through the removed thread it's no the "disliking somebody" that was the problem but the way which that disliking was expressed and the language used. To extract some lines from a couple posts (not from the same user)...
Would anyone else take great delight in punching this man?
He really is a c***, and should probably be sufficated or bum raped or somethign eqailly offensive to his snesibilities.
...though I wasn't involved with the warnings / thread removal I think the above explains the reason for the action taken, as posts break the site T&C.

Personally I don't particularly like Bill O'Reilly's presenting 'style'. I'm glad that UK news readers/reporters aren't like O'Reilly, whom at times seems rather unprofessional compared to UK readers/reporters.

I like Bill O'Reilly. I don't always agree with his views, but he's easily the most entertaining newscaster out there.

Yes but you're a cunt too.

I don't see why newscasters should be entertaining. They're there to present the news and analyse it, not put on a song and dance around it.

The trouble is, whenever Asa closes registration, it allows the amounts of retards who want to join to build up, so when he opens it again, there's a big surge of fresh sapheads to spam TV Forum, thus defeating the point of closing it in the first place.

Maybe he should just close registration forever.

It would end the trolling that distracts from the content, which is why most people are at TVF.

The "Female Asa" bit is old now.

Which is very nicely emcompassed in what barcode said a couple of HOURS ago. Tsk @ you for being so fantastically slow and banal.
