Bec,
That’s it. For too long I have defended your right to free speech from the many, many e-mails of disgust I receive about your posts.
I’m revoking your membership to my forum. No, not because you have a different opinion, but because I’ve had enough of the name calling and negativity.
Enough is enough.
Regards,
Steve McKnight

Thats a shame. I used to enjoy reading her posts. I always read them with a grain of salt. I never agreed with her all the time but from time to time I could see where she was coming from.
I always make up my own mind but hearing differing opinions gives me a better understnding of all the issues.
I think her main beefs were the high cost of seminars and wrapping.
FINALLY !!!!
Thank goodness common sense prevails.
I AM ALL FOR different opinions, but when all a person does is post personal attacks and 100% negativity… what is the point ???
My hat off to you Steve… now maybe we can get back to arguing about issues in a more civilised and CONSTRUCTIVE MANNER !!! [biggrin]
Let’s get back to real estate !!

I think you have made a mistake in barring Bec.
This forum works best when you have views from both sides of the arguments.
Just because a person is passionate about an issue does not make them wrong or right.
If you dont like what someone said, ignore it.
Who is next Steve? Pelican, Pieces or anyone who is opininated?

You’ve missed the point of Steve’s message, and I quote…
“not because you have a different opinion, but because I’ve had enough of the name calling and negativity”
There’s nothing wrong with different opionions and debating topics because we all learn from that. But it should be done in a polite spirit. I’ve seen plenty of posts on here that would never be delivered in a face to face verbal discussion, and it frequently seems to me that people don’t seem to believe that common courtesy applies to this type of medium too.
I’ve had quite a few ex members of this forum tell me that they got fed up with all the rudeness and nastiness and so gave up coming here. Let’s get back to making this a positive forum where we can discuss issue in a friendly, constructive spirit.Keep smiling

I agree with you about courtesy.
But it was not just Bec that was rude and offensive.
Both Pelican and Pieces have imflammed people at different times, so why are they not banned as well?I would prefer if no one was banned. If topics are getting out of hand that it is up to the moderators to address it.
The more views that this forum has the stronger it is.
Seven,
Totally agree with you. Who hasnt got upset at time to time on here? From what I have read, Bec was anti Wrapping,( I am not anti Wrapping) why not give the newer people the opportunity to see both sides of the story? There would be very few people left on here if we were all banned for being negative at times.
Steve, this is your forum, but I think that you rethink this.

normally i would agree with you guys and infact i have supported bec in the past. but if you read her last post to steve to me that qualifies as ‘irreconsilable difference’ and no way back!!! there was a tinge of james hird abt it..
you cant call call someone all those things then hope to be part of a club that they invented. if you dont like what it stands for – and she made that perfectly clear, then why hang around!!!
what she failed to recognise is that steve has provided a forum for which she could air her views and then she bit the hand that fed her….
I do see your point aussierouge, but gettting rid of a voice because it is different from your own is wrong.
This forum should be open to all interested in property investment.
If not the name should be changed to the “Steve McKnight Fan Club”
Seven,
I think you’re a bit off the mark… this ain’t a democracy, and I reckon Steve’s been very patient… perhaps Bec could put up her own “folding stuff” and start her own forum where she can say what she wants.
There are many many voices here who are greatly different to Steve’s, and this forum “is” open to all interested in property investment… but not to those who want to continually indulge in personal attacks.
I back Steve 100% (and no, I’m not a member of any fan club)
Cheers
rSo Richmond is it a monocracy or oligarchy?
Good one you steve,
i for one am glad someone did something about it. i respected her opinions, but at times they were a bit harsh. on more than one occasion i was tempted to tell her what i thought. she made the mistake of posting messages that were personal, not logical nor really helpfull.
just my thoughts
cheers
shaunLead, Follow or get out of the bloody way
Seven,
It is a forum owned by Steve. Simple as that.
Cheers
rI tend to agree with Seven
Steve – Have you placed Pisces on notice. I have seen a few of his/her comments over the past few months that seem to attack the person not the argument.
Like suggesting Bec go see a psychiatrist.
I think it is a bit hypocritical to agree with Bec barring, but not calling for the barring of others that have indulged in the same behavior.
This forum should be open to all not just the party faithful
Richmond,
So what if the forum is owned by Steve, does this mean we cannot not disagree with him or question him?
Steve is not King Kerry
Se7en,
get the bug out your bum.
I kind of agree with you but all Steve was saying was enough is enough. Personal attacks on someone’s character is beyond what this forum stands for. I was personally getting a bit sick of Bec but yes I believe Pisces also steps over the line from time to time.Can we just stop the petty bickering and get beyond the school yard taunts?
Gee, I thought I was on school holidays not on DUTY!!!Richmond,

Seven, if you bothered to read my earlier reply, there are many differing points of view on here, which is a good thing. Bec’s posts that outlined her different points of view, I personally had no problem with. The later ones that were just ranting diatribes against the owner of the site were too much. If you’re going to argue the point, why not take on board and have the manners to read what other people say? I am not saying anywhere that those who don’t toe the line should go… quite the opposite.
