I think you're all a bit hard on him. That's with a passing interest, not as a big issue.
He has opinions, he works for an honest living. Well, he does boilers. I somehow feel that I'd quite like him to fix my boiler, if I had one, no matter how short he is.
I have a sneaking suspicion that he has NEVER kiddiediddled. Now THAT would make him a bad person.

I've edited his surname from your comment Kris. Don't take the piss or you'll get us in trouble with our host, this thread is already borderline. I have a feeling you're right. I'm very sceptical of moderation, but when it comes close to MI6 or CIA picking it up as an issue, then I'm with you all the way.

How old do you think he is? I reckon from his photos, late 50s. I've always found him creepy, first in the queue when a young woman asks something. Do I have the hots for him? Spoilt my breakfast that did !!!! LOL.

Well we're page 3 on Google for Mike the Boilerman which is a small but satisfying result. Well done lads. Maybe we should start a Mike the Boilerman Pompous Post award, modelled on Pseuds Corner in Private Eye. HIs sick-inducing pseudo-intellectual crap on the Genesis post would be a first contender I reckon you are moist for him. LOL. I prefer them with a bit of meat on.

Interesting how one is drawn to a thread which one doesn't really want to read, don't you think? I wish I could self-moderate and hide this one from my own view!
I think personal abuse, especially when the target is not a member of the forum, shows very poor breeding and a lack of good sense. Good luck with that, whoever you are.

At least there ARE people with poor breeding and lacking in good sense. I have yet to see a walking prick.

Tried so hard for so long not to bother getting entwined in this thread but I find myself agreeing more and more with the title of this thread.

True. And just for the record, I don't understand why there is such a downer on MtB. He seems fine to me, I don't necessarily agree with everything he says but so what? And he is very helpful in matters of gas and boilers. Personally I think this thread is out of order.

Easy to judge when looking back in hindsight, but in my view better to comment on this one than start a new one. Some of Mike's comments at times justify something like this, just like mine or others can sometimes do the same.

I think it's just new members reading through the old posts on here, good luck trying to make sense of them.

And he is very helpful in matters of gas and boilers. Personally I think this thread is out of order. As I recall Emma was a member who came on here when TB first started, stirred some shit and then left. With all the new members, it's not surprising that some of them want to exercise their new-found freedom of speech. Hopefully people will get that out of their systems quickly and some of these more prickly threads from TB's inception will fade back into oblivion. I didn't like this hit piece when it first came out, so I started a parallel thread titled "Mike the Boilerman is a Jolly Good Chap". I don't have any particular feelings about Mike one way or another, he and I never really interacted on cwf. I just thought this thread was a cheap shot and wanted to counterbalance it. I think Mike would make a good addition to TB. People tend to eventually show their better sides when they don't have someone trying to force them into a cake mold. One cwf member I would really like to see here is Bizzard. His "How to" threads were often a source of humor humour (bloody foreign languages) and I imagine he could be even more creative if he were unrestrained.
