O/T Barcelona Attack

[ramAnag]

Why sympathise with Rattea Anag?
He ain't doing his job in my eyes.
The non condemnation of "you know who's" posts allowed them to become more and more rude, distasteful and something I don't want my kids to read. When raised by me (I hope in a positive way), all I got was be careful what you wish for and again, absolutely no criticism of what was getting under reasonable posters skin.
The non action has led to posters (new and old alike) to react to the incitement in increasing numbers and increasing volatility.
That then gets pounced on by our so called fair mod as bullying.
If the teacher doesn't stop the unruly child from being rude and nasty to the class, it's his fault if the class decide to try and sort it themselves.
I had great respect for Rattea and agreed with much of his stance in ongoing discussions, especially on money being spent, Clough etc.
But now he just ignores the disruptive one and repeats the bullying ****e.
His fault it's got this far.
I continue to read the board looking to see how far the Rattea chosen one has to go before he gets a wrap on the knuckles.
Joke mod on a joke board!

I did say 'to an extent' Rob. I think it's a thankless task and there are two sides to every argument but I also think he's wrong and I've said so on the 'Dear Rats' thread. Another - additional or replacement (I don't care) - mod is needed imo. Andy has been suggested and, again imo, he'd be an excellent choice. I hope that happens...can't see why not...and that if it does then you, Roger and mista will have sufficient confidence in how the board is 'managed' to feel able to return.
P.S. Agree with your classroom analogy as I did with Roger's 'coffee shop' one yesterday.

In my opinion, Rob, you have very succinctly placed your viewpoint in this matter!! Intelligent, non-aggressive and non-abusive!! Unfortunately, one has to feel that hidden agenda's will totally ignore such common sense!

I agree, and seeing as my other two threads on this subject have been closed down - no Rats I haven't opened another so this is not spam - I will, against all my natural instincts, be following Romanis' advice.
