I don't want to see this board full of disputes again!

Anisa is exactly right.

To the people who want Bond to stop posting about Western/Moroccan (edit to your taste) Sahara. Sorry folks, you may or may not agree with his views about the issue, but they are not racist, sexist, or homophobic, nor are they honed as hate speech. As such he has the right to post them on this board, just as you all have the right to argue furiously against him.

The first VCI board I joined was V-Turkey.com (whose forums have since fallen prey to technical faults and low budgets). I hold views on Kurdistan which differ from many in the more nationalist Turkish circles, and views on the Armenian Genocide which differ wildly from those held by the vast majority of Turks. But the mods there never censored me as long as I posed my points calmly, civilly and in a non-offensive fashion; and now that I am a mod, the least I can do is extend the same courtesy to Bond and his like.

If you don't like what he says, then don't ask for him to be banned - kick his arse instead. That's freedom for ya

Isn't it interesting to have a variety of opinions around here, esp those which get people going about something? if we all had the same opinion about things - it would be a really boring discussion!
