GUEST BS: the demise of the boring thread (846* d) RE: BS: the demise of the boring thread 22 Apr 14


I am assassinating nobody: if you look up the recent postings, it was you in particular who started back in after the previous calm it admonition. It takes two to make an argument, and you were the second, after Keith. Now you start in on me for naming names. It is one thing to be opinionated, we all are, and another to be rabid, which this has become.

The relevant article in UK Law reads:

127 Improper use of public electronic communications network

(1)A person is guilty of an offence if he—

(a)sends by means of a public electronic communications network a message or other matter that is grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character; or

(b)causes any such message or matter to be so sent.

(2)A person is guilty of an offence if, for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another, he—

(a)sends by means of a public electronic communications network, a message that he knows to be false,

(b)causes such a message to be sent; or

(c)persistently makes use of a public electronic communications network.

(3)A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable, on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale, or to both.

You folks are certainly in breach of that Law, and it could have serious repercussions on the site. Some communications have been of a menacing nature, and others for the purpose of causing annoyance - which your latest posting after being told to cool it falls into - and it must stop. Other communications may breach racial hatred laws as well, but this one covers the lot of you. This is the Law, not a fabulation of my own creation, and however much you may disagree, while you post to a blog which is overall predicated on a British cultural artefact, you are bound to respect it.

As at this point, I identify myself to people I respect. You have lost my respect and so I see no reason why I should pander to your grossly over-inflated ego. Come off your high horse and get a life.
