Who the hell are you to tell me to leave the topic!? If you don't like my point of view you can simply delete my post you d!cktator!!

it wont be the first time my posts get deleted!

Dude, still cant answer a simple question, which province do you life in?

Either you live in Cape Town and can bitch and moan about it being racist, or in Pretoria and tell us the name change is good or somewhere else and you can just give your opinion (with less weight since you are not personally affected).

If the ANC and the previous city government really cared about the people (whatever race) they would have done things properly and by the book and with no corruption robbing the people of housing. So is the ANC also racist?

Its a valid request considering that you add nothing to the thread but trolling.

Any respect I had for you has just flown out of the window.

I will not delete your post, but leave it there for all to see.

BTTB posed nothing but valid questions to you! My word, you really are incapable of participating on a constructive, informative level. Oh, and for the record, the moderators delete threads/posts when they receive enough complaints about threads/posts - it is not personal. DOn't make your problems and inability to participate in debate personal here.

See if i care, your respect means nothing to me.

What are you contributing to this forum exactly? Stirring and causing trouble with nonsensical, ill-thought out and significantly flawed arguments that appears to be nothing more than posted to insite racially tense arguments is not, IMHO, contributing in any way.

Edit: And why do you choose to derail all the threads that have debates about government and former governments here?

 

[neio]

Edited for personal attack.

 

[kingmonty]

A look back at locked threads will show you that it's always right wing people like you who get threads locked because you can't tolerate differing views.

I tolerate a lot, but I've certainly had enough of you. Lest we forget, you derailed my thread

Angelo, I am asking you again to keep ad-hominem attacks out of your postings. If you do not know what this means, please refer to the my thread in "off topic" about argumentative flaws.

Edit: Neio, the same applies to you.

Please guys, lets at least try to keep this thread civilised.

I must say that BTTB, in my limited time on Myadsl, has come across as one of the most level headed, tolerant, interesting, and rational contributors. Which is probably why he is a mod. Your tantrum quoted above is juvenile, uncalled-for and out of place. I suggest an apology.

I fully agreee with this sentiment.

Maybe Angelo would like to explain the R470 million missing from the department of housing - money for housing the poor people - seems some people are more important than other people in this country - especially if you work for the government and have direct access to the budget - for the benefit of all your dead relatives and friends.

As warm and likeable your uncle BTTB might be he has no right to tell me to "butt off" a thread, I give respect to those who respect me too.

If I was a spokesman for the Department of Housing I would be more than willing to explain those missing millions.

There is strange notion of thread "ownership" conveyed in this thread. Calling threads mine or telling people to butt out of my threads is inane. No - you posted in a public space and each of us has our own take on what you posted. If you want your own thread, keep it in your head, where it no doubt deserves to be anyway.

Actually that's where you're wrong. He has full right to tell you whatever he wants. If you don't comply, he has full rights to delete whatever you post.

I give respect to those who respect me too.

I disagree: if someone simply posts nonsense to insite others into an irrelevant argument, then ownership should prevail, at least to the point ot restore order.

Respect can only go so far.

You win respect from those around you. Making outrageous statements that have no backing whatsoever, for the sole purpose of trolling is not a way to win the respect of you fellow forumites.

For my own part, since you have repeatedly shown the complete inability to debate rationally with me, and have never been able to defend a single viewpoint when challenged, I will say that I have lost respect for you. I think this sentiment applies to just about every other member of this forum.

If you wish to be treated with respect by members of this forum, I would suggest you follow my advice.

If your purpose on this forum has been to try to convince fellow forumites as to the validity of your point of view, I am afraid that you have had the exact opposite effect.

IMO, a mod is perfectly entitled to request individuals from leaving a topic if they are derailing / hijacking / trolling a thread.
Especially if that is their purpose by not adding any constructive debate or input relative to the topic.
