As the other thread is closed, I see another well known member has asked to be removed, I'm disappointed that anyone feels that way. Looking at his letter to ET I hope it's not Steve Mr R.
You see, as usual Terry, you've had a sense of humour bypass. You posted why anybody would find the post above funny. I hadn't rated anything on that post after reading it. I posted a "funny" on your post asking why anybody would find the post above funny. Would you like to re-check and recind your comment please?...........No? I thought not, not your style, is it?
Put whatever spin you want on it. The two posts are connected, and its attitudes like yours that fuck people off. And believe me you do. You and others like you are the reason people leave. Truth is hard to take isn’t it.
You attitude on here fucks more people off on here than most Terry. You are wrong, you know you are wrong. It's not a good trait in someone who can't admit that. Read it back and you'll see exactly what I did.
I’m not wrong because the majority agree with me. Like it or not. I know what you do. I deal with people like you every day of the week. Don’t like my style then ask me to resign and I will because I’m getting fucked off with certain people too. I don’t need shit like this.
Wow. This is escalating. Something that ive noticed on this forum is that its so varied its going to draw away from what we all like. This fact then invites opinion from all the users's other facets of life, this to me is the forums weakness, and its strength, which is the vibrancy and and the diverse chat that goes with it. Personally i never watch or even read most if not all of the threads that are not bike related. I remember a few years back posting when my son (at the time aged 6 had acute appendicitis...he literally dropped into unconsciousness in the waiting room and had emergency surgery within the hour - the childrens hospital was 80% full of children that didnt need to be there. When i posted this is got the sharp end of another users tongue. At that point on the whole, ive never really posted about anything else on here unless its bikes and if it is light hearted or easy going (ie i knicked some boardroom biscuits etc etc). To that end i would say that the diversity maybe could do with being reduced as it could be the source of the problem maybe, i dont know, just an observation - these off topic threads are the ones that seem to get the most fiery. This really isnt an argumentative post just an observation and not wanting to kick off another one! And, just for the record i think ET does a good job at mediating, frequently he's replied in spats (the ones ive seen) with a very level headed neutral approach. Most of those occasions i have found myself saying to myself "well, i wouldnt have thought of saying that!"...good answer!
