I really doubt that was John's motive and he didn't name you

Let's forget it, eh?

 

[Smithy]

He might not have written my actual name but he pointed a pretty big finger my way.

Already forgotten.

In which case may I politely sugggest you remove the first line of your last post............it'll look better in time without it

IIRC I reported 3 or 4 posts which could be construed as either attacking another maker or marketing products in another maker's thread. I also asked whether we could have some framework for vendors here because of this.

But thanks for making it clear that as a moderator you are happy to publicly announce private communications to the wider forum. I suggest to other members therefore that they are careful what they message to you as a moderator as private communications for you don't appear to be private.

I mentioned no one by name and don't think you have ever sent me a pm.

I had thought that reports to a moderator were private communications as well as PMs. Obviously they're not.

Ken, I'm bowing out of this now, seems the best thing to do.

 

[John Lever]

Someone accused me of victimising you so I had to say something.

 

[Otter]

Out of morbid curiosity, are you going to name the two Trojan Horse TFL accounts our "friend" had/has.

 

[Persimmon]

Has anyone before ever been banned twice !

To all participants .
With respect to everyone and all the moderators. IMHO This thread has gone completely off the rails and seems to be producing more negative responses than positive and informative postings. I am as guilty of this as well . Can we all agree there is nothing further to be gained from this thread and shut it down before it has further negative effects. If when you guys receive your jackets please open another thread so we can see how they turned out. Just a suggestion to bring us back to a heathier line of conversation .

 

[John Lever]

Well said that man. Smithy if I lived near you I'd buy you a beer ...no hard feelings.

 

[Dr H]

That's a safe offer from a Yorkshireman...he knows exactly where you live, Tim...

 

[John Lever]

What a cheek you soft southerner

 

[ButteMT61]

Ole:
This may be the best thread ever. Really.

 

[John Lever]

Scot that's very funny

Not necessary. He knows what they are.

 

[Officer Dibley]

Yes the Spanish flea

Steve Senicko ? That takes me back. He was hours of entertainment. Has he ever re-surfaced ?

I'm an antipodean so the offer of beer is always a good one.

I am sorry I wrote the below post.
Some of us seem to have taken it as a recommendation!

Rule 1 of the internet is the right of exit. You can always ball and glove it. (Has Platon considered repopping Dubow baseball gear?)

That said, I would hate to lose someone's POV based on what someone else thinks of that person's perceived allegiances for/against someone else entirely.

That is exactly the kind of 1996 vintage, The Internets Is A Rumor Machine Full Of Cyber Shills sentiment that burned thru the saxophone newsgroups I used to participate in and left them a barren hellscape.
