Ferret: Churchill Retrial Thread

[daviejones]

the dynamics of this place are changing, the incumbents are steering the ship to the detrement of the indigenous members

Milan.

You could always leave then...

[milanbenes]

if you keep this attitude Davie, the forum as a whole will suffer

Milan.

[Cliphead]

He's an arse, keep him banned.

Winston has been around since at least 2000


such a shame,

in it's hayday this forum had a banter and humour that regularly made me nearly spill my coffee, these days people respond to posts with why don't you leave

what a sorry state for a forum to fall into

Milan.

Ferret old bean, you are failing to take into consideration Winston's mitigating circumstances of :

. having been around for a long time amongst the brotherhood

So? Harold Shipman was a decent GP for a while, too. I'd been here for a while too, before I was banned.

. having offered a balance to the community, a lot of straight talking wisdom comes from Winston

Didn't stop me being banned, either.

. and most of all, has a history of good behaviour and no previous convictions

Me too, but that didn't stop me being banned.

therefore, to put Winston in the same group as the behaviour of a poster entitled the 'Faqqer', a name which I am still surprised is allowed to exist here as only on first sight it brings down the integrity of the forum, I am surprised your Ferretedness, that Winston is catagorised and dealt with to the same force as newby upstarts with bad names who need a short sharp shock.

Are we back on this again, milan?

Have you tried looking up what FAQQER means in Wikipedia, or online? Did you read the thread about where did your username come from? Either you haven't, or you didn't understand what it said.

What is offensive about the name? Tell me what your delicate, tiny mind finds offensive, and perhaps you can get enlightened.

Of course, "Crack Ho" and Ollie's avatar are much better than someone who asks and answers questions...

Not to mention, tis the season of goodwill.

And it's not the season of goodwill - that would be Christmastide, not Advent.

Would only take 2 days (or more likely 2 posts), to figure he's an arse.

[milanbenes]

F,

sorry I have not read all threads recently as I have been busy at work.

Whatever might be behind the F name, first impression is pretty poor.

You are probably correct, more effort should be made by the management here policing names with the wrong kind of innuendos.

It is unnecessary to post in a personal way digging into the subject of small minds and mindedness, you know not who nor whom you are dealing with.

Thank you for the theology lesson.

As you have only been here since the forum has gone down hill you are unfortunately not in a position to remember the glory days of real humour and banter. I only wish those days will come back as you and others could learn a thing or two and might even enjoy it as part of the process.

Milan.

Milan. I warned the smelly old dog more than once. If he felt he could ignore these warnings and act as he wanted on the board instead of being a well trained mutt then he was much mistaken.

Like the incontinent doggythat keeps weeing on the carpet - you have to take the broom handle to them occasionally to teach them right from wrong.

I have explained enough times, the swearing and smut on this board was making us contractors look like a bunch of muppets (no offence Gonzo) and I am not prepared to see that happen no matter how long people have been using this board. No exceptions.

having offered a balance to the community, a lot of straight talking wisdom comes from Winston

He does have a lot of good things to say but unfortunately he pushes things too far and, for a lot of people on the board, is too aggressive by far. As I said I did warn him a fair few times, more than I would have newer user too so I have already acted leniently.

Thanks for your concern Milan, good to see members sticking up for each other.

[TheFaQQer]

I'm pleased to see you're doing your bit to raise the level of the board.

What 4x4 did you get in the end?

What are you waiting for? Get on with the real humour and banter instead of this sorry excuse for a thread.
