Not sure about Nuart but I can't see why they would've been pushed or indeed felt the need to have left the forum. I thought the idea of a forum was to share ideas and thoughts? I guess if you can't stand the idea of your thoughts being challenged or are not able to share your own ideas and convince someone else to consider a different stance on something without name calling or insults then perhaps forums are not for everyone? Shame I guess as I'm sure the fact the organise art festivals that they have many a positive influence to give to this place.

Did Nuart cancel his account Daniel Silk?
He was very knowledgeable. Shame if he won't be around anymore.

Yep, he deleted his own account.

More to the point coach, what or who was it that made him not wanna be here no more, combination maybe,


Let's hope it's not contagious.

Are you gonna be watching tonight? Looks like a very weak panel selected by the Remain side.

www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2016/great-debate-panellists

"The BBC has today confirmed the panellists for its final and biggest debate on the EU referendum, to be broadcast on BBC One on 21 June at 8pm.
Senior campaigners for Vote Leave Boris Johnson MP and Gisela Stuart MP will be joined by Andrea Leadsom MP to represent leave.
Leader of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party Ruth Davidson MSP, London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Frances O’Grady, General Secretary of the TUC from the Britain Stronger in Europe campaign, will represent remain."

I'll probably channel hop for the analysis. Sky, CNN, Russia Today all have their fair share of propaganda.

  Will be seeing who they have as guests on those news shows.  I do enjoy Richard Quest on CNN who is an excellant interviewer and pundit.


Or i'll watch Father Ted.

in or out not gonna impact me much..  Big up your delfs either way and enjoy the vote.

Well I for one never snitched to the teacher on Nuart... To report something would've meant I was in someway bothered about baseless comments. To be bothered about comments made towards me on this thread by Nuart would mean I valued the opinion... Which I don't. I find it a shame to have left as others clearly found Nuarts imput to the forum worthwhile.

Surely there's a way to have a united Europe without the money wasting EU spongers.

Did I say I reported him? No. Lets clear the air right now. People are reported on here ALL the time. I have had people pm me telling me they are reporting my comments for god sakes. That tells me people are "going out of there way" to report now a days on here. That leaves me to believe peoples comments/threads are being reported more then you think now a days on here. No idea why but there is no way he left because of that. You do not get any kind of notice if your thread gets reported so I 100% doubt he was ever informed about it either. He deleted his own account on his free will from the looks of it. I have "SEEN" people complain about this guy since I joined this board. So if they found what he said "out of line" then that is there choice.

It becomes a bigger issue when someone who is respected on this board is running around and posting baseless attacks/accusations about other members on here plain and simple. This board is suppose to be about art but when people start ranting about politics and religion, it becomes a bigger issue. Ever since the political threads have popped up, he has went crazy with his responses and attacks. Nuart even chimed in on a conversation about the US economy, calling people stupid when the guy has NO idea what is happening in the US. He is not from the US nor lives in the US. Unfortunately all I have seen from the guy is him losing his marbles. With all that said, maybe he just needed a time out or a nap. You would have to ask him.

Thank you for the update/reason/description

I've probably not noticed as I tend to ignore shit threads on here

 I'm a bit cynical and took some of it as baiting and thread derailing. I have never blocked anyone and never sent a PM about anyones post on this forum. If I post something that someone doesn't like and they attack me or respond with an insult on the forum I just prefer to reply openly and then move on.  I also believe because it is a politics thread that insults and disagreements will happen so would not want anyone banned because of what they posted on this thread.

 I understand also that a few people on here know each other personally so there is a certain amount of loyalty and backup to some posters.

Who knows, some might do business with others on here.

I know that some have PM'd as a group to try to get certain people banned and alledgedly someone even PM'd another member on here to tell them that they were getting others to PM to get this person banned.

Seems a bit weird to me.

    This forum is a great platform for business minded people to uses to prmote releases and make money from secondary sales. It has a huge number of viewers.

It seems some take offence when prmoting the latest expensive release by a gallery or printer with all the garb it quick before it's gone Aldi type plugging when someone posts something which is just an opinion.

  It also seems that this forum is an ideal platform for real galleries and real artists who sell their photoshop doodles for a minimum of 500 quid for a print and people who make art and can paint faces etc and sell for low prices should be shown the door.

  How many print releases do some of these not old artists knock out yearly to cater for the flipping brigade?

 Back to politics.

   

It's unfortunate if people feel that being pro Leave leaves them open to being branded "racist" but I wonder what sort of person would feel that. However, if that is the perception, given the positive elements that Leavers could campaign on, I can't help but think that Leave has brought that on itself as elements of their campaign on immigration transcend scaremongering and go straight past go to "hate the other" dog whistle politics which could have been lifted straight from the British National Party manifesto. Blame migrants instead of looking to the governments that caused the issue in the first place. One thing the referendum has done, is that it has brought immigration as an issue, squarely into political play forever more, whilst setting back race relations in this country.


I am too young to remember Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech but the echoes I feel are the same - with the emphasis being placed on EU migrants as if that makes it any less "provocative" (read racist). It is somewhat ironic that a few years earlier Powell as Minister of Health was begging for Caribbean nurses to come to the UK to work in the NHS.

And i'm still undecided!
