Gross. Permaban him

I don't want to put words into Alf's mouth, but I think he's talking about verbally, and by dealing with TS verbally, I think he's suggesting that he'll then have to end up dealing with mods and admin trough bans/infractions etc.

I do agree that a lot of stuff gets swept under the carpet, but I also see the PoV that banning folks on a small forum perhaps isn't the best thing overall, so i understand the balancing act.

It's phrased to be intimidating. It isn't intimidating, but it is deliberately phrased that way, and that's what lead me to have an issue with it on reflection... that it's just par for the course without any (real) consequence. A few years back there was a slew of posts with similar and worse, offers to "meet up and sort it out" etc. that as far as I know were barely addressed at all, amongst other things, and at least one other member I can think of who regularly threatens fisticuffs. I won't start naming names . I think it gets written off as nothing because they're realistically not viable threats, but I do think there's still "a line" that should be acknowledged.

I read it as someone who is frustrated you're calling him out on the crazy stuff he posts, and he doesn't like it. Don't get me wrong, I completely see where you're coming from, but I don't think Alf is on about a meet up, he just wants either mods to make you stop calling him out, or he'll say some pretend hard man bs and then get banned.

wasn't Ammi offering straighteners, was it?

Can you maybe mention some members that aint like that then, if you wont name the ones who are.
