Facebook just got more interesting today
« on: January 14, 2013, 12:59:04 PM »

If you have been following the colourful sharkfin soup discussion, you would have noticed that we've recently removed a bug. ;) Whenever we ban someone, I am well aware of the possibility of consequences, so this one isn't so surprising. Please support his cause because any Facbeook page deserves more than one fan. ;D

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fishing-with-Rod-is-a-SCAM/431653376906676?ref=stream

I currently have a team of lawyers who are putting together a strategy to dispute the fact that I am small. Testimonials from Nina will be available shortly.

This is the individual behind the page BTW.

I don't agree with banning Ed from the forum just because he has a different opinion, or is annoying.
But there may be more to it that I know, so I'll just shut up.

But this is page is BS, I reported it and if a few more people report it, FB will probably take it down.

If you are making enemies you must be doing something right  ;)

Ouch....weird thing is that he has friends that are friends of mine but I do not know this guy! I may not agree with some of the things that are allowed and not allowed on this site but for the most part you Rod have been really fair!

Why was he banned? That may show how pathetic this guy is!

It's not so much that he has a different opinion. The guy actually has some valid views, and has been on the forum since 2004, but in the past couple of years, he has chosen to use his privileges by going against everyone else's opinion on every topic just so he could get a rise out of people. I was waiting for him to stop, but he kind of just ran out of time... ;)

I would hope that the vast majority wouldn't even give him 2 seconds of their time, as the page is a complete joke.  It would be akin to a 12 year old posting that Santa is a fraud and should be avoided.  I mean really?

I have a lot of respect for Ed's write-ups to defend the Chinese cultural dish of shark-fin soup, but this FB page is way out of line. Sorry to see that. He should not be banned from taking his strong stance on preservering our cultural dish just because it is not politically correct. Perhaps he should be warned first about improper use of words. But no one should be banned for participating in a debate forum unless vulger terms and personal attacks were used even after repeated warnings. Otherwise people will feel intimidated to go against the political correct view taken by the debate forum and the debate will lose its meaning.

Yep, no one's banned for expressing their opinions. That's why you haven't been banned liketofish. ;)

We rarely ban anyone these days actually. You'd have to push the limit quite a bit to be kicked off.

Lets take a machete, chop a dozen dogs noses off, then toss them back into the streets or park, where ever we found the dogs, make a casserole with said noses, and then you tell me its "politically incorrect" and not straight up wrong. Politically incorrect terms, jokes, and ideas dont cause suffering and wasted lives. I agree with what you are saying, in essence. But the words you are using are not accepting the responsibility of the actions and consequences they cause.
