Interesting article on the Anglicisation of the Scots

[ANDY-J3]

Apict just to bring you up to date the member Sgoinneil has been banned because Admin, the moderators and most of the other members thought he was a troll. I was just about the only one here who never once called him a troll and I asked that he not be banned because I thought it was better to debate the issues he was raising. If you don't like the way I happen to debate any given topic that doesn't really concern me.

Banned or quarantined ?

I have not used the term Troll regarding this member.

In my view, people with sense of argument (whether for reasons attached to a topic or just for the sake of argument) which get other members' blood boiling may be frustrating but they do stop a site from becoming boring. I certainly wouldn't ban them for that.

Personal attacks and immoderate language toward other members (and I'm not at all suggesting this member has done either) is not acceptable of course.

i dont mind a difference of opinion either but if some one with no knowledge of the topic they are speaking about is calling Scottish culture inherently racist without any evidence what so ever then ill be the 1st to tell him hes wrong....
i proved he was wrong several times ...i proved he had fabricated figures...i proved he was lying ...yet it made no difference

he was a troll as defined my most web dictionaries

no doubt he'l appear again at some point and pick up from where he left off.
