tamtam10 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 When will somebody fire Sid Ryan? He has been running recklessly loose. People across the country are calling for action to be taken against Sid Ryan for his racist marks against Israel. There is no doubt that someone needs to step in and remove him from his post. http://informedvote.ca/2009/01/cupe-leader...srael/#more-426 Quote www.informedvote.ca

Muddy Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Does anyone even listen to Sid Ryan? Well he will be on Michael Coren show Friday night and I think he will get his just dues. Tune in and watch. I think it`s great that Syd will be on the show. Where else will he be shown how stupid his Union looks because of his ill thought out comments. Quote

You are bordering on abusing the discussion forums of Maple Leaf Web. Interesting that you have never ever ever linked any other source then informed vote. Interesting that all your new posts start with a link to informed vote. Here is a short list of you posting a link to the informedvote front webpage as well as some deeper articles. Everytime informedvote updates its front page there is post from you??? http://informedvote.ca/2009/01/cupe-leader...srael/#more-426http://informedvote.ca/2009/01/canada%E2%8...reen-party-hat/ http://informedvote.ca/2008/12/israel-stri...s-need-to-know/ http://www.informedvote.ca/ http://informedvote.ca/2009/01/the-middle-...wo-cents-worth/ http://www.informedvote.ca/ http://www.informedvote.ca/ http://informedvote.ca/2008/12/israel-stri...s-need-to-know/ http://informedvote.ca/2008/12/top-5-polit...-2008/#more-342 http://informedvote.ca/2008/12/canada-appr...-plan/#more-330 http://informedvote.ca/2008/12/political-p...hael-ignatieff/ http://informedvote.ca/2008/12/bush-approv...llion/#more-312 http://informedvote.ca/2008/12/torries-tak...ad-in-new-poll/ http://informedvote.ca/2008/12/iraqi-journ...ow-did-he-miss/ http://informedvote.ca/2008/12/our-neighbo...-be-terrorists/ http://informedvote.ca/quebec-election-2008/ That is quite a track record for one source and you have never ever cited another source for any of your opening posts or the handful of posts outside a sales pitch to informedvote.ca MLW isn't meant to be a promotional site for informedvote.

jdobbin Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 tamtam... I suspect that the poster is Tamir Birk who works for....you guessed it: http://informedvote.ca/contact/ Perhaps his posts should be deleted each time since he doesn't add anything to the discussion. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Perhaps his posts should be deleted each time since he doesn't add anything to the discussion. ....then how many (far more) of your (or my) posts shall we delete? Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
madmax Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 ....then how many (far more) of your (or my) posts shall we delete? Short of sarcasm, Jdobbin pulls articles from everywhere to support his position, and is active in the discussion. No different then yourself. MLW shouldn't be used like a SPAM vessel for informedvote.ca nor for anyother webpage. Most people use an article and such to promote a discussion they are interested in or back up a position. Clearly informedvote is simplying trying to promote their website by having, if the above is true, paid staff post on MLW. No thanks. Quote
jdobbin Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Clearly informedvote is simplying trying to promote their website by having, if the above is true, paid staff post on MLW. I think most people would have issue if anyone was posting a statement, linking it to their blog and not even participating in the discussion thereafter. We generally don't see that here. Under the rules, this type of post should be looked at: http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums/index.p...E=01&HID=17 Simply posting a URL to an outside source or posting statements that are only one or two sentences long will not be tolerated and the post will be deleted. There is often latitude for this rule but it is generally given to posters who participate in the thread thereafter. Have we seen this for this poster? If not, then it looks like this falls under advertising and clearly is an attempt to generate page hits for the linked page. Moderators have been quite good at eradicating advertising on this board. I'd hate to see more of this promotional material taking hold here. Edited January 8, 2009 by jdobbin Quote

Is that ok or not? The problem would be if dwatch.ca was opening a new thread every 3rd day with a link to their site on a topic they are covering, with no intent to have the discussion on MLW. MLW has articles and I don't believe the hosts here are opening up threads on babble with a link to articles here. But I do that, if there is a topic I want to discuss there and the information is here. Edited January 8, 2009 by madmax Quote

No different then yourself. No matter...it would be arbitrary to delete ALL of his posts just because another member desires it. The mods can do their job without self appointed exterminators. MLW shouldn't be used like a SPAM vessel for informedvote.ca nor for anyother webpage. Most people use an article and such to promote a discussion they are interested in or back up a position. Maybe yes...maybe no. Informedvote.ca could very well be relevant to the very purpose of MLW. Clearly informedvote is simplying trying to promote their website by having, if the above is true, paid staff post on MLW. Perhaps they are not paid...I'm certainly not. Does that matter?

Forum Admin Greg Posted January 8, 2009 Forum Admin Report Posted January 8, 2009 I don't have a problem with posters including links to their own websites/weblogs from time to time, but only if it's directly relevant to the discussion and it doesn't become the sole reason for their participation in these forums. Charles and I can't possibly verify ownership of every single website included in the discussions on these forums, so there is no specific rule(s) relating to the posting of URLs. However, when a poster repeatedly posts URLs to a specific site, whether related to overall discussions or not, Charles and I will discuss whether it falls into "Advertising" and or "Spam" categories - both of which are against the rules of these forums. However, you're free to include a link to your website/weblog in your signature. Quote Have any issues, problems using the forum? Post a message in the Support and Questions section of the forums.

He speaks for millions of Canadians who are socialists. His must be the views of many of the socialists on this board. So now we see that the left wing secular socialists dislike Israel as well as Jesus Christ. Is this true?

Smallc Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Palestine is an apartheid state now. With Arabs treated as second class citizens. I find it funny that people here are against racism and discrimination in Canada but it's fine for Jews to discriminate against Arabs and that is perfectly acceptable. Hypocrisy of the left wing, typical. Then what you're saying is that you never posted this? Quote

The particular post can be found on the first page of the Canada should support Israel thread. Here it is, for all to see: Palestine is an apartheid state now. With Arabs treated as second class citizens. I find it funny that people here are against racism and discrimination in Canada but it's fine for Jews to discriminate against Arabs and that is perfectly acceptable. Hypocrisy of the left wing, typical. If the US stopped sending Billions to Israel every year in cash and military equipment Israel would be gone in less than a year.

Sid Ryan is a leader of the secular socialist movement? I'd qualify as a secular socialist and I've rarely heard of the man. I certainly didn't hire him nor do I recall voting for him. Nor did have I ever seen him at the Secular Socialist meetings held every tuesday night. I doubt very much he speaks for millions of socialists. Being a leftwing secular socialist I think I can speak for the millions of secular socialists and say you are very wrong as ususal; Secular socialists do not dislike Isreal nor Jesus Christ. So, no, it is not true. Edited January 8, 2009 by Peter F Quote A bayonet is a tool with a worker at both ends

Muddy Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Gee, I must have posted on the wrong thread! Whats wrong with discussing the subject of the thread? If you want to have personal dissing contest why not start a thread on it? This is how to lose posters. Quote

I feel bad for the Christians being caught in the crossfire in the Holy Land. You're kidding right? I was raised Catholic and turned away from the Catholic Church because of their narrow minded views; but turned away from Christianity because of narrow minded views like yours? So Mr. Canada; as a disciple of Jesus Christ can you please tell me where it says in the New Testament "Let them kill each other for all I care" ? There is no way that you're a Christian, because your crusade is more about pointing out what's wrong with Christianity. Thanks for the lesson. I made the right choice.
