Call for a Ban for Dabsi - IDN Forums

Rubber Duck · #1 01-07-2007, 06:40 PM

In view of the fact that Dabsi has made damaging and false accusations that I am running multiple personalities in this and other forums, and appears unwilling to retract this statement, and because this forms part of a long and ongoing pattern of behaviour, I feel I have no choice but to ask that he be permanently banned from the forum.

Leave Dabsi alone, and Dabsi will leave you alone. Works?

Not for me it doesn't. I have put up with quite enough. This goes well beyond freedom of expression.

His allegations on here are libellous, and frankly if Craig is not prepared to do something about it then Craig is in law equally guilty.

I voted No for two reasons.

1) Dabsi might be a tit, but he is good entertainment value

2) You have to do far worse to get kicked out of here anyhow, it would seem a waste of a vote to vote yes

What are these allegations?

I have been accused here of running multiple identities which is an outright lie.

Does anyone take Dabsi seriously? And I thought in your spat with Rick at DNF you were championing "freedom of expression" to say whatever you wanted?

And besides, everyone knows you post so much under your "RD" identity you couldn't possibly have time to post under other identities as well

I champion the right to freedom of speech. That doesn't extend to making false allegations.

I myself was thinking of a t word but it has four letters but also ends with a t.

Well, Dabsi himself was caught red handed running multiple identities. He has made allegations that RD is a scammer and a drunk. While we all know RD isn't a scammer the second would hold up as libel since I personally don't know him.

Let the forum owner decide.

I can't imagine what word you are referring to

There is very distinct difference between expression opions in a free and democratic manner, to make damaging and false allegations. I surprised Blast that you are not able to draw that distinction.

Frankly, I have always been against banning people. I have constantly resisted bannings both here and at DNlocal, ask Alpha, but I think enough is enough. The little bastard hasn't even got the decency to reply let alone retract.
