    I do get your point puds and I agree, but don’t agree that it is applicable here lol

    As long as Drac has dedicated herself to selectively complain about those who break the rules here because rules aren’t being uniformly enforced, it is a very relevant point.  Imagine a police officer who only stops certain types of drivers because of a personal dislike for those types of drivers.

    claiming my point was unclear is dishonest. You know what I’m trying to say.

    Not really, no.

    Stop being a hypocrite. You DON’T want uniform enforcement of rules or you would be more careful in your remarks. You want it one way for you, and another way for others.

    Well, that’s news to me.

    Thanks for telling me what I want.

    I have no interest in your lectures on sexuality, or gender, or phobia.

    What lecture? :unsure:

    Why unban whizz and not others? Because some were banned that I am glad to see gone.

    It’s okay when it happens to the bad people

    Yes, I see now why i’m a hypocrite with double standards.

    I am flummoxed as to why the point Drac has been repeatedly making is so difficult to comprehend for some people.

    Because they have already determined that I am wrong before reading the content of my post.

    This thread is still going nowhere.

    What you fail to understand is that JC is much like a bar, with the guides as bouncers.  They can eject paying customers and institute their own policy enforcement, whether you like it or not.  You can’t say the N word here, but you CAN make any other racial slur you like.  But a chat room, like any other privately-held enterprise, is not a government-run organization that must comport to YOUR values because your taxes fund it.  I go to a barbershop where the old man forbids swearing.  If someone swears and I call the old man on it and demand that he throws them out, he will disregard me, just as your concerns are being disregarded.  THAT’S LIFE, KID!

    And also what you fail to understand is that no amount of whining will change things.  You threatened to leave because of your perception that selective banning is unjust, but you are still here complaining about it.  The truth is that no one cares.  Accept it, and stop your selective bellyaching about being a victim when you refuse to block your abusers while making your own offensive and abusive statements.

    Drac’s point seems to be that there is unfairness and selectiveness in the way the rules are administered.

    If that is indeed her point I agree 100%. The means of her making the point are her own and entirely up to her.

    We are also not just talking about telling people off .

    We are talking about banning members for having a differing opinion and it being seen as OK to attack some chatters but not others, depending on whether you are inside the clique or not.

    Many of the members that have been banned are far more interesting than the snoozefest that is often on display here these days.

    House keeping chat is all well and good but there is no diversity of opinion or interests here any longer which is very sad to see.

    The whole of the site is increasingly feeling like a WI meeting and that’s not just my opinion, two members came to me last night telling me to come onto JC for a laugh at the state of it here…

    What I do agree on Puds is that the conversation is going nowhere and has been for some time. Unfortunately some here seem to relish digging things up and prolonging the argument.

    I’ve said my part, made my points and stand by everything single thing that I’ve said on the matter. Take it or leave it.

    draculina at this point it could be beneficial to your case to add everyone’s thoughts on the word racist including what constitutes racism…x x

    This thread is still going nowhere.

    It isn’t intended to. The purpose of this thread (as I have repeatedly stated) is to present hard evidence that there is still abuse on Just Chat and that the guides will take no action against it.

    This disproves the narative that guests were banned so that there would not be abuse.

    What you fail to understand is that JC is much like a bar, with the guides as bouncers. They can eject paying customers and institute their own policy enforcement, whether you like it or not. You can’t say the N word here, but you CAN make any other racial slur you like. But a chat room, like any other privately-held enterprise, is not a government-run organization that must comport to YOUR values because your taxes fund it.

    I couldn’t disagree more, this is complete nonsense.

    There is a moral (and legal) obligation to provide a service as it is advertised, this is especially so now that it is a paid service. Part of this service is the rules that are publicly visible on the site, which must be enforced as stated.

    Private or public ownership has no bearing on this, and I don’t understand why you brought it up even.

    I go to a barbershop where the old man forbids swearing. If someone swears and I call the old man on it and demand that he throws them out, he will disregard me, just as your concerns are being disregarded.

    That would not be acceptable, as I previously stated the barber has a moral obligation to deliver his service as advertised (no swearing).

    Even if for some reason you didn’t think that morality or principals are important (which you apparently don’t), the barber forbidding swearing would be counted as a verbal contract of sale under UK law (see 1893 Sales of Goods act, and the 2015 consumer rights act, ect), and would be liable to fines and even imprisonment.
