Interested, the reason why Alice got jumped on is that when she first came on to these boards her posts were very aggressive - eg calling Casey a "horrible failing blob." Some of the more aggressive posts were deleted. I wouldn't want any of the Idols to get called such things either.Maybe we didn't handle it well - i don't know but reading consistently aggressive posts can be wearying.

I work with aggressive people all day - once you get past the initial blast, you can spend the time finding out where the feeling is coming from Like I said before - strong feelings can generate initial aggression, but from what I've seen you just tried to shut her down straight away, so she could only reply with more aggression. Loosen up and look beyond

Sorry zed, if I told you I'd have to kill you! So far I've kept out of this debate, but with that comment please tell her I would hate it if people felt alienated by a clique btw.

I have copies of Alice's posts to send to Admin (as I am required to do as a Mod) and they were not "nice" at all. Not the sort of posts we want around here for all to see.

Fair enough - well this has been the most attention I have ever received, so I'm glowing ;D ;D Have to go though - see you under a different moniker next week I guess

Everyone has the right to be heard and they will usually respond well if you let them And everyone has the right not to read the sort of posts that got deleted. Like Zeds said, every post that gets deleted gets sent to Admin. He gives the mods feedback whether they were over-zealous in their deleting or not.

Fair enough - well this has been the most attention I have ever received, so I'm glowing ;D ;D Have to go though - see you under a different moniker next week I guess Interested we are a friendly bunch really. Babs is actually very new but spends a lot of time here (his plan for web domination). I understand some of your points though- before I stumbled over this site and became addicted I genuinely thought (no offence everyone) that only ppl without "real" friends met ppl on the net. As I'm very social in real life I was surprised that met some lovely ppl here that i now count as friends. If you've been around a while you'll know that I have strong opinions and, on occasion, very different opinions to some of the others here and yet we all get on. Why not keep posting under interested or sign up so we know who you are? As for the Alice drama.... I've tired a bit of idol so haven't read this board for a few days so this thread and the other one came as a big surprise. What I do know is this: the mods only delete posts that are abusive or explicit in some way and all the posts we delete are sent to admin. Zeds would not have deleted Alice's posts if they were merely along the lines of "Casey did not deserve to get to the final". Nor do we delete posts simply because we don't agree with what they say.

Alice should be banned... such disgusting behavior

I belive that Alice should only be banned if she believes for herself that her own posts are 'in- humanitarian". If you lose a lot of "empathy" for people, I believe that you become 'inhumanitarian" because you cant step into anothers shoes until the same thing happens to you. Some people are very special. Issues do not cross their own personal path, but they can still "empathise," or "step into anothers shoes" about certain issues. Lets let Alice make the decision for herself? For her own definition of humanity. What if she has terminal cancer tomorow? What sort of things would SHE like to get right for her life before she dies, lets say for hypothesis sake,that she dies at the end of this week? BTW I am not sorry.
