Will the last one to leave please turn of the light

[bill]

As stated previously on this forum my name is William McCallum,known as Bill apart from my sister who calls me William,my wife who calls me Willie and my two boys who call me Dad.

I am one of a very select band of posters on this forum who actually posts under his/her real name.My reasons for this was that when I registered I knew that I would never post anything that I would'nt say face to face.

Up to this my 871st and final post,I have posted a lot of drivel and been involved in disscussions about local and national topics.I will miss my visits and putting in my tuppenceworth to the various disscussions,but untill the administrators reverse their decision to ban The General and Sweltered then this is not a forum I feel comfortable to contribute too.

As someone has already stated "no one is irreplaceable"...true,but their contributions were a massive part of the popularity of this site.

Some might say good riddance,that is their perogative.

I also hope the bans are reversed..

It will be dark as a dungeon in here, guess things happen that way.. (Johnny cash songs, that was for you bill )

Until then.. peace out.

i know for a fact they both would feel uncomfortable should others deny themselves the pleasure of being part of the forum family, even the black sheep likes a heat at the fire now and again.

this has driven me to drink, my first in many months, a rather nice red, a ronaldo of wines

if you haven't read this recently please do, then ask yourself why several other members have not been banned, as for the disclosure to third parties clause? not strictly adhered to or do family members not count as a third party?

while i agree with all the above terms of use and would endevour to adhere to them to the very best of my ability, i failed in my search to find the term "snide remarks" or an explanation of this termonology. a failng on my part no doubt, but then i am a mere mortal and do not sit on a velvet cushion playing judge, jury and executioner over the opinions of others, a simplified terms of use should be adopted for us idiots.

we are right you are wrong, just discuss the weather ,shut up ,you dobber, your banned!!!

simple, we all could follow that no problem, is it me or is it close this evening?

[big tony]

Bill - this isn't aimed at you in the slightest........ but I remember reading a letter in The Herald from a guy who wrote that he was so disgusted at their editorial of the first Gulf War that he would never buy The Herald again.

....... and I wondered to myself - did he buy ONE more copy, to see if they actually printed his letter or not?

Dilemma

PS. As you no doubt know what we say in Campbeltown, you backside must be making buttons to post a reply
