"Festively Plumb Bobby" has a nice ring to it !!!!!

Coincidentally the ultimate retort for people who insist on questioning the parentage of doormen with a fuller figure ( sic "You Fat Bastard").........." I'm only fat because every time I f**k your mum, she gives me a biscuit"

The initial flow and responses were neither useless or irresponsible.

The personal abuse and flaming could be removed as the text of the site is open to the public but the original post and our response to this should be kept to show our position as a group of professionals.

An answer to your question:

I see no reason to remove the thread. Firstly it was advising people of an event which has spawned intelligent debate (as well as the odd flaming but that is human nature). If everything that offends our fragile sensibilities is censored we regress from the freedom of speech that is the bastion of British society.

It takes no intellect to be outraged, but does to discuss a point and show a different view in perspective from a professional stand point. After all we are professionals as well as supposedly having skills in conflict management. If you look at the facts, it is an Internet forum and someone has expressed an opinion which some may or may not agree with. To become outraged on something that is to all intensive purposes trivial seems out of balance. Deleting the thread is not going to stop an event happening where as intelligent debate and showing an industry view point may in fact have more weight than you can see from a haze of red.

After all if this kind of thing inflames a person then what is their reaction to something real and confrontational? Something you may like to think about. We can all be "Mr Angry of Mayfair" but it takes something more to discuss the reasoning for your displeasure.

I think annie and the mods have it right, each profession has a skill set, whether it be CP, door work etc and that includes....conflict management, communications skills, first aid, physical intervention skills, etc.
Your profession has suffered from a poor reputation for many years and the sia has tried to re model this to a point.
Fighting is not in the required tool box and the competition just adds more mud to that already thrown at your trade. No wonder so many punters come out of clubs with serious injuries from door staff. Occasionally there is a need to up the tempo but good team work and physical intervention skills can prevent people being choked, losing teeth, getting stamped on, having their arms broken from egotistical over zealous staff (Accepted there are many professionals out there who don't do this and therefore I'm sure those who are professional will agree)
