Online vs. Real World Personalities

[tay]

Oh for crying out loud.... why dont you just blame me for masterminding global warming as well.

[chef]

tay also masterminded global warming so I heard

[chef]

I have to say though that tay you really don't ever seem to contribute anything useful. Try not sucking lemons for breakfast mate and maybe perhaps knock one out once in a while to relieve all that pent up stress and anger and you might have a change of perspective on the world..

queue the retaliation

[tay]

No I am not going to retaliate, as that will most likely just get me banned.

I have said what I think of the matter already and this lynching isnt going to change that.

Aw diddums. Not so simply fab any more?

Nick. You think too much.

I don't believe there to be any difference in my posting style than 10 years ago.

I enjoyed this forum and board for ten years. When I came back I was appaled at how facile the forums had become. Porn on postings, what I had for lunch, good morning posts.

So I said so. I was then told to leave and told I was a troll. I was a little strong with a couple of posters, but no more harsh than is normal.

Now the degeneration of the forum is down to me. What a tiresome premise.

The posters I enjoy posting with are not you. Sorry. I fund your rightous views codescending. The same as a number of other posters who have said so have left.

The dynamics of the board have changed, half the posters aren't the devil may care contractor types that I identify with.

So lets just see if these two types can coexist without this mob mentality.

So I am not going to comment further. I'm also not going to leave.

So I'm only going to lo-post for a while, when I wait for the changes. I suggest that you do the same

Just from a sidelines to an extent, I'm not really getting where you're coming from. I've been on this board, or iterations of it for 8 years or so. I don't see it being any different, beyond some personalities come, some go, some come back. It always has been facile, AtW has been posting about his lunch as long as I can remember, porn used to be more blatant when you had pictures embedded etc.

But you've been a bit mental of late (Not to me directly mind, just an observation from someone with no axe to grind). Not sure how you think this is helping though?

So OS, Bagpuss,Faqqer and ATW leaving is my fault?

Did you read the recent posts from them???

Yes, I did. I do not think them leaving is entirely your fault but I do think you are a contributing factor.

Because I knew them on here before I took a break? And because they were voices of reason in this issue? Do I really have to explain why I find it saddening when good posters leave?

3 of them made special efforts to welcome me back, and when they leave I am not allowed to be slightly saddened by it without you questioning it?

This is a discussion I cant win, and if I was the troll that you like to describe me as I would be not replying like this, I would just slink away to troll another day. So either I am the worst troll in the world or I genuinely think things have got out of hand around here because of people playing favourites.

There are no favourites here in my mind, I have tried to be a bit more lenient due to wanting to make changes to the forum and this has coincided with new mods being appointed. When the new mods came on there were likely to be a few people who would test how far they could be pushed and I asked for leniency early on - it would have just been better it I had let the mods ban people as they had wanted.

I don't think you are the type of troll that would slink away, you are the type who will manipulate and bulltulip away and never really answer the questions that are put to you.

I have not read one genuinely valid contribution from you since you came back. You are only ever on here late at night when most posters have gone home and I really don't see the point in your continued existence on this board.

Last night I came to the conclusion that the trouble on the forum here can be traced back to you and one or two other people. I decided to sleep on the decision and this morning, following a couple of coffees I hasten to add, my thoughts are still the same.

I can't be doing with this bickering any more and I would rather you were not on here. If this means you and others think I am pandering to a particular section of the board then so be it. If that means more users leave then so be it. I am not doing this for anyone else but my own selfish reasons of not particularly liking your presence here. You are banned.

Kind Regards

Maybe, what I mean is that I was dismayed at the fact the board hadnt moved on then.

I initially started posting 'contractor' related posting, only to be told I was posting to many and so eventually got bored and just decided to stay for the crack.

I do believe though, that all of a sudden I'd become sort of flagbearer for trolling(which I dont believe is true) but if thats how it came across, thats how it came across.

Looking forward to the new board layout, lest the way everything gets a piece of the pie.
