With you on this Patty. Stinks of bullying and plain nastiness. Wouldn’t happen in real life, keyboard warrior stuff at its worst. Tony is obviously struggling, give the man a break for f..... sake!!!! Bullying on whos part? I'm probably gonna regret trying to explain how I see this... Put it in terms of a playground/group scenario where u get a group of lads pursuing one whose 'said' claimed' something that they don't believe to be accurate or right so they egg him on and egg him on with baiting ...He responds with ever more claims which escalate and he goads the goaders with threats... and so it continues . The mature grown up action would be too stop but little boys cannot see that they are so intent on 'being right' having the last word... squashing verbally their perceived enemy. In a school situation it could be the words and taunts would lead to violence Here there are only keyboards and threats And so it will carry on unless those involved make a conscious effort to stop.

I'm going to need your postal address for the service of documents. Please e-mail it to < Tonydtrent@gmail.com > I don't have a postal address. I live on a boat. You see, I got a BSS and a licence so I've got a boat. Next? If you don't provide a postal address for the service of documents, other ways of serving them are available. Refusing to co-operate in the matter of providing an address for service is disadvantageous to you. Please e-mail it to : < Tonydtrent@gmail.com >

Others here can plainly see this, yet keep niggling away at him. It was the same with Ross. I know il be told it’s an unmoderated forum, and that if I don’t like it I can go elsewhere. It just seems so unnecessary, and is getting to the point that it’s spoiling the enjoyment of the forum.

I honestly think TD is not a well man, the stress of losing his boat may be in part the reason he's against just about everyone. It's a self-perpetuating vicious circle though, isn't it? The reason he lost his boat in the first place was because of his attitude problem and anger management issues. Tony is like one of those little dogs that thinks it's a big dog.

Tony to claim loss of earnings, you have to prove you’ve earnt anything in the last ten years. Did you ever pursue the claim against C&RT that you were thinking about after you ran A41/Medlock up onto those submerged blocks of concrete near Heck Bridge on the Aire & Calder on 26 September 2017, and damaged and holed the hull, . . or did you eventually see sense and think better of it ? The submerged blocks of concrete were in fact old 1 x ton craneboat ballast weights that had been placed up against a length of Larssen bank piling, that was slipping/subsiding into the canal, as a temporary measure to slow down and stabilize the piling subsidence. The concrete blocks were clearly marked with yellow posts driven into the canal bed, and the canal is very wide at that point. I presume that the difficulties you were having with the boat you were towing was what caused A41/Medlock to be passing much too close to the marked obstructions. If you had been in the middle, in the deep main navigable channel, . . instead of crawling along much too close to the bank, . . then you wouldn't have run up onto those concrete blocks. Trying it on with a claim against the navigation authority for further damage to a boat with already thin and leaking bottom plating, and especially in circumstances of having invalidated your insurance cover at the time of the incident, by taking on a paid towing job contrary to the terms of your policy, would have been very foolish indeed. Did the fact that you were towing another largish boat have anything to do with you crawling along too close to the southerly bank, instead of keeping to the deep water towards the middle, . . or was the whole incident simply down to general stupidity, boating incompetence, or failing to notice the line of yellow danger markers sticking up several feet out of the water ?

That's a fair point. It has been mentioned to Tony that posting full personal details (name and boat name/number and location) is not something one should do.
I put my own boat name up quite often but nobody has ever posted my real full name (which is Elvis Presley) apart from me.
As mentioned it does appear possible that Tony is a bit "gone in the head" which is a very common part of ageing.
This is not a Bad Thing as such but if it results in overly repetititive and boring content and things like threats of legal action it can cause issues for the forum.
Some people's reaction is to either make light of it or respond in kind as a way to attempt to reduce that kind of input.
I think Tony likes being a member of the forum and ignoring would be more detrimental than joining in.
He's pretty thick skinned and obviously has a sense of humour so I somehow doubt that easy to injure in a bullying sense although agree entirely it may look like that.

Did you ever pursue the claim against C&RT that you were thinking about after your boat was removed in November 2020, . . or did you eventually see sense and think better of it ?
