    Westies Man Come Back - Even if Nothing is Forgiven.

    Today I had a chat with Westies Man.

    Westies is a grizzled campaigner of a thousand battles, an immovable and passionately biased supporter of his club. I respect him for that. I'm the same.

    Westies said he hadn't seen me much lately on the forum, and I told him I'd been ill, and busy, and that a few other things had taken a priority in my life.

    He told me he had been banned from the site. I asked him what had led to this extraordinary event. He said he'd made some sexist, and probably inappropriate comments under some provocation, and had been asked to apologise for same.

    He had extended the apology sought, but since then he hadn't been able to post on the site.

    Now I know that being sexist or making inappropriate comments is not of itself a ban-able offence on TWF. Happy's elevation to moderator is a testament to that. (No offence Happy, but you sure come out with some doozys from time to time; not that I give a stuff)

    So my question is, has Westie been banned, and if so, what does he have to do to be able to post again?

    Just to make it clear, I have no fondness for his club, nor their recruitment tactics, nor their rugby philosophy, but I do believe, within the bounds of propriety and decency, every one is entitle to express their opinion, no matter how ill founded, without big brother stepping in.

    So tell me where I've got it wrong.

    Anyway, on his head be it, but I take it he is free to post and not make a dick of himself, right?

    Never been banned, don't think he even had a 'speaking to'. Free to post as he has been since day dot, and free to make a dick of himself if he so chooses - he's in good company.

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    If I am reading this correctly, only Westie has taken it as sexist, as quoted above, and he was not even banned.

    westie man

    I was actually sent a private message by a senior member requesting that I apologise for my comment which I did then for whatever reason couldn't post anything bout 5 mins later.The senior member knows who he is, a fairly strange coincidence and I was only joking ,anyway I'm back and that is the main thing, I'm sure most of the followers on this site have missed my misinformed biased dribbling shit, now Ralto has someone to stalk again

    I'll let you in on a little secret Westie. A poster can only get to you if his club is above yours on the ladder.

    If it's below, you can stir him merciilessly, and he has no real comeback without appearing to be a bad sport.
