    Elsewhere Aussierogue came up with the suggestion of handing out yellow cards.

    I would like to go one better.

    I am pisced off about anyone who espouses a strong opinion to only thence turn his (or her) deaf ear and blind eye towards any reasonable rational counterargument and instead continues to hammer and belabour their point, so what about it if, instead of sending them off on a trip to the psychiatrist, these lowbrowed illogical animals were to be fined and would have to pay their fine to a particular charity ?

    Now who other than pigheaded idits could possibly object to such a scheme ?

    Say a lowly lousy $ 25 per offence, a mere pittance to would be property barons ?

    That was a marvelous contribution Celivia.
    You do like yellow cards but chose to turn a suggestion of attaching a charitable contribution to a yellow card into some smart arse joke.

    You may have noticed that the only time I did express a strong opinion was when someone spouted outright nonsense or was abusive.

    This thread is about turning an absurd idea (yellow cards) into both a deterrent (via a fine)
    and a switching of thinking about getting riches into spending a bit of dough on supporting a worthy charity.

    Ohhhhhhhhh Chill out dudes………….If you react, they win. It does not matter what anyone says, if they call you names or whatever, if you take the crap on board you give in.

    Personally I feel that a lot of people are taking this all to seriously, including Stevo. Its just a web based forum and I find it all very educational, financially rewarding and amusing all at once.

    Yellow card green card shmeen card dohh, the charity bit? Well I dont see how you need to abuse someone on this forum to become a charitable person, we should all be giving rightnow dont you think?

    Geez Pisces, can’t we have a bit of fun now and again?[eh]
    Does everything have to be so serious? Why the anger?[medieval]

    I was merely slightly teasing you.[biggrin]
    You may have noticed that I like a bit of teasing.
    Never meant to be nasty!

    By the way, I never said I like the idea of the yellow cards.
    I had a lot of objections in my post. I want to keep things simple.
    May be I am a simple soul. A simple person who likes smart alec jokes hehe.
    Why complicate things?

    ANyway, if you cannot stand my teasing I can control myself in the future.

    Don’t you know that this yellow card business is a serious proposal, Celivia.

    I must have been eating too many eggs during Easter, Celivia. Perhaps that is the reason I am pisced off.

    However, I really feel under threat and intimidated by people like aussierogue and _Se7en_ who want me off the site [lmao]

    I am however waiting for both these people to
    agree to the fine proposal. Even if it is just the three of us involved that would be fine.

    Chan I might take you up on your offer to tease you hehe.

    Pisces you are allowed to be pisced off whenever you want, it is your right.

    I have said in another post, that I like hearing differing opinions, the more extreme the better. THat’s when you learn more than when everybody merely agrees.

    I think it is hilarious the way people sometimes express themselves when things get heated. The things they come out with![laughing]

    SO arguments don’t only show different opinions and new ideas, it can also be entertaining (for me, personally, you may disagree).

    And Aussierogue: too funny that it was just a joke about the yellow cards, everyone including myself took it seriously! As if!

    Well for me: I’d prefer the heated arguments, more educational and fun than yellow cards or fines.

    I agree with Richmond, it’s only a forum!

    ANd yes donating to charity is something we all should do regardless how much we verbally abuse each other [biggrin].
    [party]

    Hope we keep having fun on the forum together, I am learning heaps and having fun, and so should everyone.

    No yellow cards, no fines. Let the moderators warn abusive users and then allow Steve the final say. I think with Bec it was reasonably well handled in that at least it was transparent and we all were able to discuss/debate the way it was handled.

    Looking forward to Bec returning as JenBec.

    I can’t imagine Steve will take me off this site, then I have to start again to reach where I am. You guys will see a lot of my post to reach 2000. Then there will be a lot of complains.

    Yellow card? what about blue card? green card? why yellow card? why have to be soccer? what about sin bin?

    Kind regards

    I think you might have mis-read my posts in regard to the banning of members. (Please read again)

    I did not say that you sould be banned.

    I belive that this forum should be open to all, no matter what their views are.

    Pices, i agree with some of your views and strongly dis-agree with some other, but this forum would lose a lot if you did not contribute.
