Why don't you post? Is it because of insults? Have your say.

[Sweltered]

since everyone else can have an opinion except me (i can only defend my brother apparently, and am not allowed ro respond to anything) I'll say nothing.

ooooh, you've been Spangled.

[general jack o'niell]

yir insane!!!! no him, you ionn

firstly there is no acid getting spouted, go ask any member, oh i forgot, you don't know who they are? well theres 34, who have been responsible for 21,000 posts, the other 1350 members? 25,000, malky is a law unto himself with 11,000.

thus i reckon i can say that they are the lifeblood of the forum, not you, not me, them, i don't have a problem with any other members, i don't post on the jog scotland thread as i'm not a runner, tho i have been invited to join them, never going to happen, and also to be a marshell at this years event, i was supposed to do it last year but wasn't fit enough.

the carradale thread i post on quite often and if anything they get the brunt of my humour which doesn't seem to be your cup of tea, never had a problem with any of them, they are all bright enough to take it in the spirit it is intended,

the embra crew comment? think you'll find i am not alone in my opinion regarding those posters, if anything i am less severe in my sentiments than others have been. don't know why you should take anything i have said so personally, you must be seeing ghosts where there are only shadows, you have me at a disadvantage and as such i'll take your comments with a pinch of salt, a little black pepper and a good gravy,i care not one jot for your affirmation regarding any presumed friendship on my part, i don't know you, therefor how could i be a friend? i'm very fussy about my friends, being a very private person by nature, not the most sociable of people, preferring my own company and that of my "real" friends.

oh and lastly, if your little tantrum was in reply to my last post? it wasn't directed at you, wasn't about you, in fact had nothing to do with you, so who is the bile merchant, not me thats for sure, if you thought it was about you then its because you saw yourself in the body of the text, not because i put you there.

oh and another last oh, don't know what you thought you would achieve by using my name in your post, did you think i would be so taken by seeing my name that my enormous ego would be even more inflated? i used it the other day as an attempt to difuse the tension of the arguement, put a face to the screen name, maybe find some common ground? i was wrong, it was thrown back in my face with personal insults, just before they slunk off, not me, them, anyone has a problem with me on here? you know where to find me, i won't be hiding behind another name in a few weeks time, can't say the same for some others and no i don't mean you, you i couldn't give a frick about, i could care more about something i stood in on the street.

[spangles]

I called you by your name because it sticks a bit in the craw to call you anything else.......and lets be realistic here , General is not your name. Not sure whether you aspire to be a general but I think you'll know that rank is well out of your reach.

In my opinion I don't think you have the smeddum to be anything other than what you are. For one thing your tactics are too transparent.

I know I bother you a lot but please contain yourself 'till later because I can't reply again today. I am off to work.

Oh and an Oh from me. You mean nothing to me so I suppose I could'nt give a frick about you either. So we agree on something

Rather sad way to spend lunch but interested to find out what is going on.

I think the point of this thread is to allow people who do not post very often or at all, post and say why.

So, could we please give the a chance?

[Malky]

Well I dropped in to answer a PM. A very valid one too. I replied to it but as I did I thought what on earth I am up to here? Why the hell am I bothering with this damn forum? I've been here before after all. Then, I made an effort to sort things out to try and ease the pain by making some changes. I had hoped they had worked but obviously not. Everything is still simmering under the surface.

Reality for me is I don't have the time to moderate this forum. And now I don't have the energy or the inclination to sort it out. As I said in part of my PM, I am only here now because of my sense of responsibility to Davie. I need to think about all this.

By the way, Davie is right, this was supposed to be for people who do not post very often or at all to post and say why. Now back to my lunch..

Malky

PS. I'm going on the drink tonight (or maybe earlier). Might see you after the weekend....

I myself wonder why, we the genuine posters bother also. Speakers corner was added to keep all the crap and offensive material from the rest of the board, but afraid it has spilled out into all quarters recently. Most of the topics have completely gone off thread on numerous occasions with rubbish talk and slander. Who may be right or wrong not my problem. My only concern is we may loose this forum completely, it was threatened already and everone was lost without it. Is it now time for a bit of a rest bite or is it all out war.

I'm away tae put on my flank jacket.

apologise for posting on a thread that reads as being started by me, which it wasn't, i was merely replying to an accusation that the arguement had been my fault, which it isn't, but if you'd rather i stayed away from certain sections where i have relevent and pertinent comments to make then thats fine by me, your welcome to your clooty dumplin thread or whatever the hell it was that should be restricted to members with a 2stroke mower or something, i'm a bit sick of getting the name for being the guilty party in any dispute, if i had it my way we'd scrub these stupid screen and then we'd see who posted? as i said earlier, anyone with a problem with me, don'y hide behind numerous identities, you know where to find me, thats what men do, and to think that one had the cheek to tell my brother to run along little boy, aye, from a safe distance

my last word on this infantile gibberish, you want personal attacks? despite the crap getting written by several illiterates, i've never made a personal attack on another member, never, but gloves are off, you want me? you know where to find me, i'd find them but they prefer to hide, i've had my lot with this sh!te, so come ahead, anytime, you wants us? one is in florida but i've two more, insult one you insult us all

feckin arseholes the lot of them
