No toy it’s only official that I will boot moons on sight, for the reasons I have personally discussed with her. She indeed told me she expects it. As with Claire there is no way I could ever bear a grudge with either of them. I find Moonshadow extremely intuitive but nevertheless disruptive, Claire indeed would drive a saint to drink, however, she types the best one liners I’ve seen in J C at times.

I have a job to do, as do the Guides, we may not be perfect but Guides are more than capable of making their own decisions and there are times when I leave it to them, which is how it should be.

Being a Guide or Host isn’t for the ‘faint hearted’ (sorry Pats but I had to borrow that) and I can assure you whatever you chuck at us falls on deaf ears, if it didnt we would’nt still be here. (Oh and Vee in your wildest imagination how would you ever think I would care what you think)!

I do of course appreciate that chatters think Guides and Hosts appear to let some chatters off the hook for being as disruptive as the obvious trouble makers but then you don’t see what goes on behind the scenes. (thin ice has 5 dots after his name and those babies are all down to me)!

Some of you seem to forget Guides do in fact have lives and don’t see everything that goes on yet they get a barrage of pm’s after the fact. A Guide is only obliged to deal with the here and now so please don’t forget that.

Happy Chatting and thank you for using Just Chat.

You do let other chatters of the hook.Its you thats not willing to see what goes on behind the scenes,I take evrything throwed at me mostley.Truth be told i deserv a lot of it.But you know i have tried to talk to you about somethings and youv had no interest at all.You wont see many complantes from me e maild to chust chat.And i can assure you iv been threghtend and abused many times.Your arrogant and dismissive attatude to me,to just me and in front of others.I always respected the guieds in just chat.Always showd them respect when they came in the room,always understood they had a dificult job and appresiated it a good few times.Sorry not you though.Where the hell do you get off telling me who to talk to and why.You had one side of the storey and by god you made it plain to me thats all you wanted.I dont respect your report card style answer to toy.I dont respect you hound clare in f1.Howe dare you patronize claire and my self like that.No i dont respect or trust you.

I recommend that Rusters be banned for life for telling that totally atrocious joke!! :)

I’m a relative newbie to Just Chat and I suspect there is a lot of historical context that I am unaware of with regards to the booting of the some of the aforementioned, so I don’t expect my argument to cover all the bases. It’s easy to note that the guides and hosts have an unenviable task – damned if they do, damned if they don’t – and although I don’t envy any of them, I do know that JC would be a hell of a lot worse without them: despite how entertaining, gregarious and downright weird many of you are, it’s way too easy for those few who are hell bent on making it a crappy experience for the majority of us to accomplish their task if we didn’t have the guides to ensure of modicum of decent behaviour.

However, that said, it does sometimes appear that the boot policy is rather arbitrary. If some are on a boot on site order for what appears to be a silly squabble between several participants, then I fail to understand why others whose contribution to JC can be relied upon to be sexist, racist or homophobic don’t appear to be similarly censured. I’m not condoning Moon or Claire, whilst calling someone ‘fat’ or ‘ugly’ or making what appears to be fantastical references to sexual predilections is reprehensible, it’s not on a par to denying the Holocaust. Incidentally, I only mention these names because they have otherwise been identified in this thread, there other culprits that I think are just as ‘guilty’.

I don’t know if the technology exists to permanently ban someone, I suspect it doesn’t and enterprising chatters will probably find a way to circumnavigate any obstacles, and this might be in part why people tend to get away with dreadful statements. Nonetheless, I have personally witnessed situations where guides have been present and certain names (I can’t say with any degree of certainty that the same person is behind the chat names on all these occasions) appear to get away with stuff. This may not be the case. It’s possible that there are processes in place that chatters are not privy to. But it is then perhaps understandable why some chatters suggest that favouritism exists or certain special allowances are permitted for some people.

I don’t entirely buy free speech as a counter-argument because it’s not without certain limitations, of which organisations tend to be aware of because it affects their bottom line. I don’t see how JC can be insulated from this.

Ultimately, I have to conclude that, for the most part, those that do get banned, gagged or censured in some other way, tend to have themselves to blame.

1. We can all be a little bit more thick-skinned and ignore the idiots and haters.

2. We can all accept that we have the right to offend and be offended, within reason. We don’t need to react to every slight in JC. We can stick pins in dolls, curse the person under our breath or simply laugh at their lack of social skills.

3. We could all remember that those that attack us rarely know anything about us.

4. There’s an iggy button that we all should use a little more. Failing everything else there is an off button on every computer and we can simply leave the world of JC for a bit.

I’m just as guilty as anyone else, show me an internet bully and watch my futile attempt to persuade him/her of the error of his ways. Sometimes rational thinking is the last thing that we tend to use.

On a lighter note I saw a silly joke in Saturday’s Guardian that tickled me:

Teacher: “Use the word fascinate in a sentence.”
Kid: “My coat has ten buttons but I can only fasten eight.” Ba boom!

Mostley,i agree with what you have to say.What do you mean though fantastical refrences to sexual predelictations?Look if you mean me talking about things that disgust and abore me.I have talked about three people in this way.One was Jadey in which i was way off the mark,she did explane to me and the room that her brother told me these things,saying it was some sort of test,to see howe i would react.The other two im not willing to talk about on the boards.One person sed in the room that sexual consent should be dropped to the age of twelve.This incensed me,i was very angry and upset about this.The other one,someone sent me something that botherd me.Yes i havent went about things the right way,i should have but diddent.But you know im not the onley one.I wouldent have knon about these things if i hadent been told them.You seem very willing to add my name to that statment,but to be honest i dont care.It gives me a chance to clear things up.You dont seem willing to use anyone elses name but me and claires.
