You need to uncheck "Do not interpret HTML tags". (I've edited your post and unchecked it)

O for crying out loud (or however that is written) give it a rest already.

The more you keep crying about this the more respect you will lose from all members.

It happened, Chris told him to move on, he did, so why don't you move on as well.

All your doing is posting noise in a forum that is supposed to be about technical issues with the site. Not your personal rant / cry forum. Take it somewhere else.

After all his abuse today and you want me to move on as if nothing happened WTF | :WTF:

That is surly not going to happen unless that guy that shouldn't be named by me give me a formal aplogy. Mad | :mad:

In which case, write an email to Chris.

But by all means, stop spamming the forum. This place is specific to discuss issues related to the functionality of the site. Your issue with an individual is of ABSOLUTELY no concern to anyone here, especially given your history.

Go ahead and use that little rant icon, but as shocking as it could be to you, spamming the forums could result in banning you again.

People here (Tom, Pete, OriginalGriff, etc.,) have been unusually polite to you today, but you aren't listening!

Will you just let it go? A formal apology isn't going to be offered, and you know this, so as far as I am concerned all you are doing is stirring up trouble.

The next thread you start on this topic gets deleted.

As for Chris Maunder you should be a one step away from every CP user but I can see that you are taking Dalek's side and by that you are biased and that is not fair.

All I want is one formal apology for all the abusive things that the one that shouldn't be named told me today and everything will go the same it was.

0) Chris can't make anyone make a 'formal apology' to you so stop asking him for it.
1) Calling Chris biased after the patience he has displayed is well insulting to say the least.
2)

Just call him by his name will you.

And this is the last time I'm responding to anything you say, consider yourself black-listed (from me)

So anyone can abuse anyone else and he can get away with it WTF | :WTF:

What if it was you being abused would you shutup and move on?

Slow down a little and take a deep breath.

1. This is the internet. It's not a formal dinner party. You need to understand that, try as we might, codes of behaviour are not as formal or clear cut as in Real Life. I'm not defending, just lamenting.

2. Saying "you won't get a formal apology" does not mean anyone can get away with anything. That's false logic. You're a programmer, logic is your life, so be more careful.

3. Schoolyard bullying sessions thrive on reaction. The more you react, the more you goad the perpetrator into continuing. You come from a very different culture from many of those here, and unfortunately you are in the minority so it will be up to you to adjust.

I don't mean to say that you need to accept abuse. I mean that you will need to adjust to how you deal with it. A formal complain to me, via email, is fine, and I will always follow up. Continually yelling and screaming is not appropriate and comes across as very immature. Your best defence is to minimise the perceived effect of any attack.

Overall, though, your best course of action is to look around and listen to what everyone has to say. You are doing yourself no favours in your behaviour. Others have tried to point this out but you ignore it. This leads to frustration and then ridicule.

Step back, learn and grow, and everything's will be fine. However, if you refuse to take heed and continue in your ways then you in turn become an abuser of the site. And that is something I will not abide.
