It's really upsetting to see such an unjustified personal attack on Bant today. No idea what prompted that from Green and I'm really against anyone saying who can and can't post on this thread.
This thread is for anyone who needs support or advice or just wants to shoot the breeze about dating and other related topics, regardless of gender, parental status, sexual orientation, age, race, disability, whatever. It's for everyone, and if it's not then that's me done with it.
Surely one of the best things about this thread is that there is a whole cross section of people on here and so you get to hear a wide range of opinions that you might not generally hear in your normal social circles. I certainly don't agree with everything people (mainly women) post on here, but I try and offer a different point of view in a constructive and non-confrontational manner, And that's exactly what Bant was doing too, at the express invitation of other posters.
People won't always agree, but there's certainly a place for discussion and argument without it degenerating into personal attacks.
And the reason why Bant is continually targetted is because the same posters with a personal vendetta keep returning to the thread under different names. Once one starts, another is never far behind. These posters have targetted me in the past as well and I find it totally unacceptable that they are still on here working mischief and derailing what used to be one of the best threads on the site.
