You can't accuse our Dom of not having a sense of humour:
The new Brexit secretary, who campaigned vociferously for leave in the 2016 referendum, also sought to play down recent alarming stories about the potential risks of no deal – including the idea that food supplies could be disrupted, or key ingredients no longer available. “You will still be able to enjoy a BLT after Brexit, and there are no plans to deploy the army to ensure food supplies.”
Older posters will remember a Supertramp album, Crisis What Crisis……...

It was him that made the statement that he was 'joking' about the pastafarian threat (did you think he was joking?) and then told the world that he would never ban posters just because he disagreed with them, well he did me and did on the Bowie thread, simple.

With apologies to Triggaar for being a bit pedantic,shouldn't that be 'Crisis?What Crisis?
You're being very childish. I've linked to that thread - anyone who can be arsed (I'd imagine that's nobody, tbh) can read and see for themselves, that what you state is patently not the truth. This is done. You're derailing an already tedious thread, onto an even more boring subject.

Perfect response to accusations of childishness.
Seriously though, you did well yesterday with keeping it reasonable, and I don't mean that in a backhanded way, it was admirable, but you are letting yourself down here. Banning someone for trolling a tribute thread is something I would hope all mods would do.
He doesn't even remember banning you and he didn't just ban anyone on the Bowie thread for offering a different opinion as we can see from the linked thread. Stop embarrassing yourself eh?
You have given a more than adequate explanation, if they cannot accept it...oh well. Personally, I’ve been removed from threads before and had infractions. Some I agreed with, some I disagreed with. None I argued with . It’s hardly the end of the world and certainly not worth grizzling about. But there is an element on here that if they can’t contribute to debate will find anything to discredit you. I get it constantly from one or two on here when they get stumped in a debate. Again, not worth justifying or explaining, they’re determined to have their dig. Their time to waste.

I see that our Government are saying that with no deal, we would continue to accept new drugs and treatments that have been approved for use in the EU. Is this a loss of sovereignty for any leavers, letting the EU decide for us if a drug is safe or not?
Could a UK court award damages against pharmaceutical companies that trialled a drug and submitted false data to the EU regulators, or the EMA if they were at fault in any way, if UK patients were adversely affected?

That part was meant as a joke, I am sure you knew.
Look the crux of the issue is that today he threatened ban someone during an ongoing debate between him and another poster, it was an abuse of his position as a moderator and he has previous, he did the same with me when we were disagreeing on something although he quickly reinstated me, that isnt fair moderating and he shouldn't do it.
The Bowie thread is a side issue, the threaten of a ban today is the issue, using the term 'troll' doesn't immediately negate responsibilities of a fair decision, I wasn't trolling when he banned me, I don't believe pastafarian was trolling when he threatened him nor do I think the poster on the Bowie thread was a troll either.
Personally if you cared to look I prefer PevenseyGull (or whatever he is called) whom seemed to be one of the biggest fans of Bowie on that thread where he responded to a non abusive but negative view on Bowie with :
I feel very sorry for you. I can't imagine what it must be like to be someone who's not remotely touched by the chap's work. Enjoy whatever it is that you do like.
Easy really.

An excellent response from someone without moderators rights, but imagine you had the mods ability to kick him off, would you warn him that his posts could get him binned?

Dominic Raab came out as a remainer. Why else would he be stoking up 'project fear' with these few highlights ?
The cost of card payments between the UK and EU will "likely increase" and won't be covered by a ban on surcharges
Britons living elsewhere in Europe could lose access to UK banking and pension services without EU action
Pharmacists have been told to stockpile an extra six weeks' worth of medicine to ensure a "seamless" supply
Low-value parcels from the EU would no longer be eligible for VAT relief
and my own favourite
Businesses trading with the EU should start planning for new customs checks and, and might have to pay for new software or logistical help
So it's off to the software suppliers in the morning then. 'I'd like some software installed in 7 months time (because of course software is ALWAYS on time and we definitely don't need any UAT), but I don't know what it's got to do. Probably something about customs - so what hardware and infrastructure would I need for that, how much will it cost and how many staff do I need to train up please ?'
At what point do you accept that the emperor has no clothes

I seem to recall someone in this thread scoffing a few months ago when I pointed out No Deal Brexit would lead to a shortage of medicines and chemotherapy treatments.
Oh look.

I suggest that [MENTION=1365]Westdene Seagull[/MENTION] takes a little of his own advice.
If any Brexiteers on here want to tell us about WTO and 'no deal' maybe they should listen to this first. (Not looking at anyone in particular [MENTION=5101]BigGully[/MENTION], [MENTION=240]larus[/MENTION])
You may even find that some of the points he raises sound familiar

I see The Road Haulage Association are delighted at the new clarity provided in today's no-deal announcement, or not as the case may be.
A no-deal Brexit will turn the Garden of England into the UK’s biggest lorry park
