    Higgins is a moron. I hate everything he posts and does. Ban Ban Ban. Stoopid Higgins. No one listens to him. He's a Butt-Flump.

    Back on topic, what about thinning out the stickies and putting a for sale sticky just like the eBay sticky ?

    I like that idea - but I think it could end up quite messy, with people posting updates across other people's sales...what do other sites do ?

    This is a long-standing joke, Joshua. Are you familiar with the term "running joke"? If not, then please google it. We are a fraternity who have made relationships and understandings over a long period of time. Higgins will understand what Sir Miles means, and respond in kind without taking offence.

    This may be so but i read the words again and I am now sure they were meant for me not higgins in the last part.

    "Can we discuss banning green trainers and cockwombles next"

    The green trainers for higgins I have read here at AJB before. It was only higgins and myself speaking. the 'and' says this is an insult for me but insults do not hurt me, it just makes me to wonder why theyre was a need to be saying such things. It only says much about the person saying it than the person it is said to. yes my english writing is not good but i can no what is said how this is meant in my own mind. It is such a shame that peoples have to feel the need not to be able to speak without insults.

    if we wish to turn this group into ditatorship then I will be gone from here.

    We are a friendly site and very far from a dictatorship. The site is owned by a man known as SiCo. He pays the bills and is the boss here. However, he is very rarely present on-site so his appointed representatives are Sir Miles, Hardyboy and myself. I do not think that the majority of the members would consider us as dictators.

    This is not what i maent to say. I meant that if one persons is ever allowed to say what can be spoken about here and have many AJB fans stopped from posting about things they wish to talk about then that is dictatorship for the AJB.

    I no what it is exactly. I do not need you to try to make an explanation or an excus, thankyou. As i said i am disapointed that these words needs to be said here. There is no need for insults.

    This is good news, i hope my friend higgins will to see now that it will be best to let peoples enjoy the site for their reasons for being here is different. I do not say higgins is dictator but he nows why i say this thing from the talks we have in the message.
    it is best always not to ask for things to be baned or stopped from speaking about just because one person doesnt like to see them is it not?

    It is, Joshua!

    Thanks for trying to defend me, that's very kind.

    But most of the folks here I see as my friends (well - except... :v ) and we are just having a little fun on a boring weekend. {[]

    Believe me, it is so.

    Now coming back to the topic:

    My initial remark was, if For Sales Ads are becoming excessive.

    You may rightly say "you don't like it - don't read it!" and I partly agree.
    BUT: Meanwhile around 50% of the topics in the mem&coll forum are For Sales ads and it's becoming more and more annoying (to me) and difficult to find the non Sale Ads between all that!
    Additionally some ads are not even marked as such and you have to read the topic to find this out.
    So starting this topic was legitime

    Hardyboy asked then about possible ways to deal with it and I gave my OPINION that we should not allow Sales Ads at all.
    Thus, I was expressing my OPINION which should also be possible under free speech.

    Labeling this opinion in the context of dictatorship is a bit over the top in my opinion.

    AJB is a discussion Forum and not a Sales Forum. If Sico wanted this, he could make a lot of money by charging people with sales ads here. People post them to save money - which at the end is using the forum here for free instead of paying ebay fees. Some people never post here at all besides selling their stuff here. They are abusing the community and I don't like this!

    There are certain rules here what you can do and what not. If you condemn every rule as dictatorship or against the free will of people, you'd have a hard time. For example it is not allowed to personally insult other members here. It can get you banned.

    Would you say, that these insults are also free speech and not allowing those is dictatorship or cutting people's opinions?

    Like I say, we have here rules what you can do and what you can't and my post was to voice my discomfort about the number of Sales Ads and to possibly change the rules then.

    Nothing more or less.

    Unless you're contradicting your earlier post, no you don't know what it is and yes you do need explanations.
    Perhaps you might be able to find a site or forum dedicated to arguing for the sake of arguing rather than a James Bond one, since that has been your main activity since registering here with very little Bond content coming from you.

    Sir you may wish to ban me from the ajb forum if you do not like my being a member here. I answer you that do not post in the other forums because i am shamed to by by poor english writing, i have tried this a severel times but i have deleted my posts before posting because they are not good enouh to be in the discusion. I read much here and did before I joined, perhaps i should be punished also for this?

    Again please ban me if you wish me not to be in the ajb forum. Thankyou.
