      i dont fully agree, yes there is a lot of banter and name calling on here, but nothing that directly questions the way someone holds their business in the real world

      if someone posts, for example, saying they've lost millions or that they've just been sacked from a contract because they're tulip then fine they're an idiot and deserve a bit of stick, but you dont effectively post slander against someone and then refuse to retract it when you can tell they're upset and believe you have crossed the line..

        Such a well-balanced set of questions - you can definitely deduce something from that!

        Where's the "Of course people should accept a bit of rough-and-tumble in a forum such as this but they are still entitled to defend themselves against malicious and unfounded accusations of dishonesty in connection with their real-world business activities" option?

                If Squirrel Man was so jealous of his product, reputation and project members' standing, he should have a. Never made it so easy to identify himself b. Realized that web forums are not vicars' studies where folk chat nicely over tea & biccies c. Taken more care to protect his reputation and that of the project. It's wrong to point the finger of blame solely at Likely (RIP).

                      It would appear that we have a forum that you do not like. Instead of trying to change us why dont you fuck off. Seriously.

                      I don't care if I get banned for this and I can't believe I am doing this to support TwAttY.
                      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

                      Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time
