Ok. Fair enough. I apologise. I should never have doubted the moderating!

In the quote you removed in your reply it said that more or less word for word:

Especially the bit where you say that your threads get the 'abuse flowing'...

It is my view that the above quote can be construed as deliberate trolling / flame baiting, and I look forward to more constructive debate from you in the future, where you actually state your own views without being provocative or inflammatory.

woodface, I find it difficult to work out whether you're being deliberately obtuse, deliberately spiteful, or whether you are simply genuinely naive to the emotional response people can have to some of the unpleasant stuff you say. If the last, then I really hope you will realise it soon and learn from some of the people who are trying to explain to you why you put our backs up. If the former, God help us.

Just as an example of why what you're saying about not posting to bait the forum doesn't make sense: if I said "I like to load up a gun and wander around in the woods among the deer and pull the trigger a lot, but I don't do deer hunting" would you believe me?

Yes. I can post things that are quite inocent like just to mention two spinning and aerials. They got the abuse flowing. Infact most of my new threads and sometimes my posts do. It's how people read them and post back. I did not post that thread to "get the abuse going" but my threads go that way.

Franck, People read what they want to read. It's not just me it happens to, it's others aswell, I just don't take it like weeping child.

Look back at the past threads where they have gone this way, you will notice a pattern of 5-6 forumites turning it that way.

Maybe you shouldn't target the people who ask sensitive questions, but those who turn the thread in to a personal vendetta.

For anyone wanting to actually discuss the issue that Woodface brought up, I have taken the useful bits from that other post (as I see them) and reposted the questions here.

Please play nice

If you said you like to do that then no I wouldn't.

If you said "is it right to load up a gun and wander around in the woods among the deer and pull the trigger a lot, but I don't do deer hunting" then I can't see anything wrong with that.

Truth is, I was actually interested in the underlying question that was being asked before it got enveloped in a quagmire of personal insult, attack and counter attack.

Who dear... me dear.. a moderator dear... how veeeery dare you!

Seems to be a little bit of arrogance there that you are no doubt unable to see; the fact that the same people repeatedly criticise you should be a hint that it MAY POSSIBLY be justified, not that they are "out to get you"

reminds me of a Carly Simon song...

Yeah, I was interested in the thread too. In fact, I got rep for my opinion, but I cant be arsed to type it all out again and to be honest...I dont think Woodface was trolling at all, not intentionally anyway, he aint that clever.

Maybe you should actually start to think that if a number of people read what you post in a certain way, that, however you intended it to come across, that it comes across badly. And then start to think about how you do post, if it's not your intention to come across that way.

Speaking only for myself (I wouldn't presume to tell other people what they are thinking, unlike some), I don't pick on anything you write, just because YOU write it. I pick on some of the things that you write, because of how I read them. Broadly speaking, it seems that the majority of people reading them take them the same way as me.

So, who is right? The majority, or you*?









*Why do I have the feeling that your answer will be that it's you? And, if that's the case, then why do I (we?) bother? Maybe because some people have told me that 'in real life', you aren't actually the way you come across on the forum. I'm increasingly disbelieving that.

blimey yet again, i do some work in the big smoke this morning and i come back and ive missed another "Dallas" type incident on our great forum.

for what its worth, ive met woodface and he is a little gem. He doesn't have a nasty bone in his body. He is a little gem. Why on earth he is so disliked or not respected or picked on or insulted is beyond me.

Stokie, you can try and calm these things down, i have tried many a time but it doesn't work. Its best to sit back put some popcorn on and see where it goes when things like this happen.

DTS - your a naughty boy and Franclksldiuoai or whatever his name is....is right.
