I'll join in the crowd to beat them down.

I've just emailed them and given them 14 days notice of referring them to the data commissioner if they don't delete every trace of my long banned account, including all posts that quoted mine.

My argument is that I don't want a username I use to be associated with a platform which encourages intolerance and hatred.
I think the best you can hope for is they change your user name, anonymise it.

I don’t suppose you’d like to PM what you sent them so I can send similar? Last time I asked them they refused.
 
I think I might ask to have all my posts and account deleted too, my last account wasn't a well known one in the forum but if a majority of us make a point that we don't want to be associated with such a hate filled forum then they might start to see their problems.

I used to read DS articles all the time, but then adverts started popping up and covering the articles, and it made them hard to read.
 
I always use an ad blocker on DS. I've also stopped reading the articles on DS too because they're so many of the have some sort of message or pc angle.

The worst site to use without an ad blocker by far is The Daily Mail. Absolutely no idea how anyone looks at that site without one. Horrendous. Obviously having adverts generates income but it's counterproductive if you don't read the site in the first place because of the ads.

I use what is considered “old” tech and there are two things I actively stay away from. Articles with a load of embedded Tiktok videos (I don’t know what it is about that app that doesn’t affect my computer like YouTube, Twitter or Facebook videos do, but there’s something in them) and the Daily Mail website. Impossible for me to navigate through either smoothly.
 
i4U is an argumentative **** :rolleyes:

So many angry people on DS.
i4u is a nut looking to take offence at anything and anyone. Latest target is Steve Allen.
RichC is another one, who occasionally appears in the LBC tit-Chat thread to join in with the chip-on-both-shoulders gang.

Yes, i4u seems to have crept over to the Steve Allen thread from the main LBC one and is causing misery there now too. All negativity and cancel culture poison. I don't think they've realised that the Steve Allen brand is just for entertainment and gossip column scandal.

The LBC tit-Chat thread is correct - nasty things attract other nasty things. No wonder no decent people post there anymore. Let them all fester together in their bile and crap.

Is it just me or is the posting style there always aggressive & confrontational? I don't know why everything is so angry all the time and why people are so wound up if someone says something they don't like? I have to wonder what many of these folks are like in real life. Obviously politics & general discussion attract nutters but some people act so uptight over reality TV FGS.

We don't agree on everything 100% here but it's never aggressive and I've never felt bad after posting on here (or any other non DS forum), whereas I quite often got a bit flustered after a DS disagreement.

It never used to be that bad. You could hold conversations and express yourself freely without being aggressively challenged over the most mild observation. I don't post there now (banned!) but I was finding myself watching everything I said and expecting a warning email from the mods because somebody had managed to find something to complain about.

Before I was banned after many years, that thread had always had lots of disagreements, but no way like the aggressive confrontations you rightly mention. I suppose it doesn't help when you have a Teflon 'leader' who protects all his little minions as they agree with every word he says.

Yes, it is very much a worry what these people are like in real life. No doubt their families and friends believe the sun shines out of their backsides.

LOL, déjà vu. Still there before me ;)

Probably saving it all for Nick Ferrari tomorrow.
It didn't happen. Either he received a warning so could only lurk but not post. I doubt it though when he manages to get away with what he does, or he's working up his spittle to do a major splatter later in the week.
