I agree with you. Then again, I'm from Australia too. This forum has certauinly highlighted the huge differences in what I consider to be basic manners :-)
I too thought ed-uk was acting as the gentleman that he is. He even was big enough to try to make amends for perhaps acting to hastile and for any misunderstanding caused , I thought, before Dr Bob stepped in.
I did read the thread a while ago, and I'm not going to waste my time going over it in fine detail again:-)
It seems I don't agree with the perceptions of many from Nth America here, and I've come to accept that this difference in thiking must be just "how it is". It' strange isn't it that I garee with all of those from Britain, NZ and Australia too.
A pity really, but I'm sure not going to change my values or actions ..and that includes style of writing posts.
I've found ed-uk to have high standards in his posts, and while in that thread I did see his point, I also could have presented some, I think, valid arguements that may have led him to reconsider ..if I'd had time at that time. I don't follow the main babble board usually due to time constraints.Still I do read some of ed-uk's posts where he tries to help others on the alter board freely giving of his expertise formed from years of experience.
If you can't guess, yes it's another ban I disagreed with Dr Bob on. I also thought the public comment added by DrBob was uncalled for.
Since then I have not had the heart to post much on later or elsewhere.
I guess as it came on top of Declan's and Teejay's bans and reading on the politics board which also seemed to be highlighting this rift in values and/or perceptions and the inability to be able to bridge or discuss it on here.
I used to be confused too, now I've given up trying to understand.
