why do you want me banned simon? That is a mean thing to say! I will
promise to calm down. I was only excited because I have never been on
a forum before. You should really get 2 sides to the story before you
start accusing people of forum misbehaviour. Asshole.

I wondered about this. His profile shows 21 posts in one day. Possibly
a one day wonder hoping to ruffle a few feathers then move on.

On the other hand, some of his posts appear to indicate some genuine
interest in unicycling.

The first response should be to ask Grogboy to moderate his language and
to remember that this forum is read by very young people, male and
female, and by adults, worldwide, from many cultural backgrounds. This
is not a place to cause gratuitous offence.

That means no swearing, no references to sexual practices (real or
imagined), no insults.

I would hate to see a potential recruit barred because of a few immature
comments on his first day.

Why thank you! Now that's what i'm talking about simon. You need to
consider both sides. So infact, you are hypocritical in the way that
you wanted me banned for being offensive, but you have offended me in
the same way as i might have you. So don't me an immoral fascist
dictator next time. THANKS AGAIN TO MY SUPPORTERS!!

It's not that simple. Among people you know, it may be acceptable to
refer to each other as "Asshole", and make comments you wouldn't make in
front of an Aunt who might not have written her will yet. We all do it,
to a greater or lesser degree.

But in a public forum like this, we all need to bear in mind that
different people willa ttach different levels of importance to certain
comments. For example, on one thread you made comments about another
poster being homosexual. Now, I don't know whether you meant it as an
insult or as a joke. What you intended doesn't really matter, because
it's the effect of what you say that matters.

For example, some people hate homosexuals and find it extremely
offensive to be accused of being one.

Some people are homosexual and find it extremely offensive to see the
word used as a term of abuse.

So you risk offending two completely different groups of complete
strangers, just for a throwaway comment.

Likewise with the swearing. Americans, English, Dutch, South Africans,
and all manner of people post in this forum. Some of those will find
the F word offensive, some won't.

A man was in front of the Judge on a charge of assault. he said in his
own defence, "It's a free country. I can put my fist where I want
to."
The Judge's reply was, "Yes, except that your freedom to put your fist
somewhere is limited by the other person's freedom to have his chin
there."

Tone it down a bit, read a few of the threads, and get involved in some
discussion about this fantastic sport. There are people here who ride
100 miles in a day; there are people here who perform professionally;
there are people who compete in speed events, or freestyle events; there
are people who design and build unique frames, geared hubs, adjustable
cranks. You can make good friends here, and get all the advice you
might possibly need.

When in Rome...

some people DESERVE to be offended. Regardless, this isn't the place to
do it.

Still, grogboy is a troll. Trolls love to be fed, and right now he's
getting nice and fat.

..ignore trolls and they go away.

Ok, here is the story...

His real name is Scott Barns Elwood. He goes to my school, and saw me on
this site, so thought it would be good to join.

He does not unicycle, but was going to learn on mine about 3 years ago
when I started, but gave in.
As for his ‘unicycle knowledge’, he has none. He has probably just
search the forum a bit, to see what he could come up with.

Since then, he has hacked into my MSN, and stolen my contacts, which
will explain that he has been talking to you before, Trev, and he has
also hacked into my old website and put a huge picture of himself on the
home page. Attention seeking I guess.

Now he has just come on the forum ‘for a laugh’. I guess he will go away
some time, but he is just attention seeking at the moment. But there was
no need to swear and offend people like you did. What have they done to
you? These are desent people talking about something they enjoy. They
don’t want you here. Why not go and find a rugby forum. I’m sure there
is one. If you were on a forum, I’m sure you wouldn’t want some
********, like yourself, coming on and being a ****!

Scott, if you are reading this, why do it? You got nowt else better to
do?
You might as well stop now, coz your going to get barred, even though
you would probably sign up as someone else.
Go ‘troll’ some other forum that wants ‘trolling’, I’m sure there is a
website about **** like that.

If scott/Grogboy posts a thread or replies in one, but ignore it. He
will soon go away….


Joe,

not only should grogboy be barred, but so should anyone else who
encourages him by replying to his posts.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I think that we should all give Grogboy another chance.
Many of us (including myself) have asked Grogboy to tone it down.
I think that at this point, we should allow him to modify his
behavior.
And, if he continues to be a problem I think it is acceptable to ban
him.

Grogboy, feel free to express yourself any way you like in 'THAT forum'
(http://tinyurl.com/28z6j),
but please tone it waaaay down (no profanity, insults, or name calling
in THIS forum.
That way everyone will be happy.
