And it was shortly after that when you said some very abusive things to me personally on Fuckbook. Since you were being such a wanker, I blocked you and carried on writing. Then you realised that I'd blocked you because people were writing about what I'd written and you couldn't see what I'd written. At that point you tried to get party members to be outraged by the fact that I'd blocked you for being a cunt.Then you got expelled from the party. For being a cunt. You voted against me being elected as an EC member. Whilst serving on the EC I witnessed your machinations to get back into the party. I spoke against you being re-admitted, because you'd caused no end of trouble with your puerile bollocks and threatened me personally. (Which, I might mention, I derived much amusement from. You are a stupid old man and I hold a third dan black belt and could easily kick your bitchy little ass.) I left the party for two reasons. The main one was the fact that ten reasonably intelligent people are incapable of making a rational decision together. Witness the Election Broadcast that cost £3000. And the other one was that you were going to get back in the party. Motherfucker, you'd know who I am if you had half a brain. I am no coward. I am the Mighty Motherfucking Guru Yoghourt.

This is not to do with the rules but the procedures.
Vin wrote:I see third waning has been issued. So it is 4 warnings before suspension?No its 3 warnings, then a 30 day cooling off period. If the rules are breached during this 30 day period then its an automatic suspension. But surely you already knew this seeing you was party to bringing it into operation?

The objection is not to you (or anyone else) criticising what we do stand for, but to you asking us to defend something you attribute to us but that we don't stand for (i.e.to defend something that doesn't exist). You can of course criticise that idea too but don't attribute it to us and don't expect us to defend it.I think you misunderstand me, but I'm not interested in discussing it anymore.I'm sick of internet discussions in which people like you with a sense of entitlement and imagined grievance go round in circles with:"But you're asking us to defend X, Y and Z", etc. and similar.I'm not asking you to defend anything.I wish you would grow up and either just add a constructive comment in the thread OR fuck off.

I know. I have been suspended a fair number of times. Vin, i believe, holds the record. Despite holding political views that i sometimes find offensive and which have the potential consequence of providing support for the nastiest of people, this discussion list abides by its guidelines https://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/forum-rules-and-guidelinesI think how we deal with those who break the rules of the forum, in a little way, reflects our response of how we consider rules inside socialism will operate.
Actually, its not Vin who holds the record, he's had 3 suspensions. In fact its LBird with 5 suspensions.The rule of thumb on the forum is the first breach of the rules draws my attention but I rarely take action. The second breach means I automatically post a reminder that a breach has occurred. Further breaches of any of the rules by the same offender means a 1st warning is posted. After the 3rd and final warning a 30 day cooling off period is actioned. If a breach occurs during this period its an automatic suspension – the length of which depends on the seriousness of the breach and the past record of the offender. For example, LBird got suspended for 60 days on his last breach due to him failing to get the message that the rules are there for a purpose so as to enable and encourage discussion and not further argumentation. I only action indefinite suspensions on spammers and those who make threats of violence.
