It appears I have been banned from the Pro Boards forum for daring to express a view that it is not a properly moderated forum and pointing out that personalised abuse was still taking place, depite the fact that they removed a large chunk of their forum after getting wind of complaints to:

http://www.proboards.com/report_abuse

I would urge those who are abused on that forum to take screenshots and complain via the above link.

I have also mentioned over there the twee, puritanical and overt defence of Sheila Caffell's 'decency' as being absurd at times. 

I do agree though that posts relating to the victims / relatives should be worded with caution, especially where theories are being espoused which may be sensitive.

I think you should regard being banned from Lamberton's forum as a badge of honour.

Neil, in a few cases, I can understand why some people who believe Jeremy Bamber is guilty, might be offended at the wording of some theories or suggestions re the victims or relatives.  As I have said above...

However the constant stream of faux protest, as if their members were a mix from the Seroptimists and rural Essex clergy is laughable.

so much for the free debate they claimed to want.

The treatment of Takeshi over there was also poor.  Takeshi questions both sides in this case and always has done.  If they are going to come anywhere near the quality of this forum (not an easy task), then they must at least be properly moderated. 

The way I see it, is that at the very heart of their problem, the forum was set up in the first place by a notorious internet troll out to cause mischief.  It's not really a good starting point.

I'm glad that the decent quality posters who believe in or waver towards guilt, have chosen this forum and I cannot see that changing.

Nuggy, it cannot possibly be a serious forum, given the stance taken by the owner.  He thrives on facilitating an environment where he will get a reaction from people.  He's cottoned on the fact that he can use people who believe or suspect Jeremy Bamber is guilty, by providing them with a collective home.  They are mere puppets (unknowingly), in my opinion.

Well said David.  You did your best over there and put up a valiant fight.  You are better off here.

Thanks Neil.

I found their treatment of the Guardian article relating to the expert reports as highly amusing.  While it may be no guarantee of a referral, I still do not think they have cottoned on properly to the implications regarding the incident at WHF nor the reasons for this angle of approach by the defence.

It does appear that way at present Nugmeister.  The reports don't prove absolute innocence outright... But they have kicked a large hole in to the rotten core of this dodgy conviction.

I'm afraid where Lamberton and his fellow inbreds are concerned I can't even rouse my self to apathy to even lift up my eyelids to notice them. Yawn....even those few words were tiring to type. This is all I have to say to them:

I think he has throw every kind of abuse at me and I have a little chuckle at he has never once tempted me to retaliate.

The forum hasnt got enough people to have moderators.
Oh yes I forgot Shona and Andrea could moderate. Andrea has done it before.

puppets fits the bill just right its as if they are on a pvc twister mat and he is controlling them all the time with penalties if you question his site,i would rather watch a 70s tv trade test transmission all day.
