Could Martin not just ban this idiot? He's hardly a worthwhile poster, and some of his comments leave much to be desired. Unfortunately report this post isn't enabled on this forum.

I've never even seen Martin online. Anyway, i can't see why a mod should ban me just becuase they find me a twat.

Gavin could probably do it but I think what JB said elsewhere has a point...

Why would you want to ban him?

Are you lot completely and utterly stupid or what?

If he gets on your nerves that much, why to you bite at everything he posts?

Put your underpants on guys and smell the sunshine.

There has only ever been a relatively small number of members banned from M247, and that was for flooding the board with spam.

Being belligerent and annoying to other users carries no such penalty.

Usually.

If J. Christie was to be banned I think a few other members would atleast need to be warned as their posts in reponse to his leave a lot to be desired.

eg. Quoting James Martin from page 2 of this thread...
Fuck off Christie, we don't want you here.

YOU peado.

I'm afraid I must allow it, Charlie.

You know what these Metropol threads are like.

Good to see you being polite, prehaps here insults are the new compliments.

Ultimately, the decision to ban anyone is down to Martin and not myself or Gavin.

Speaking personally, the J.Christie 'crisis' has a number of parallels with the James Martin 'crisis' last year.

We all know we're a bitchy lot and most of us have been the target of one or more other posters' attentions at one time or another.

Admittedly, J.Christie's "Mum" thread was dunderheaded and can not be defended by someone with an ounce of grey matter.

However, I, for one, admire his James Martin-like ability to come back and fight his corner. He sometimes goes looking for fights, which doesn't help his own cause, but he is showing all the credentials needed to become the next James Martin.

On the general subject of banning, even if I could, I struggle to think of the circumstances that would have to occur to ban someone - the only example I could think of would be Keef Whyte. MP247 is very different to TV Forum, and I want it to stay that way.
