The alternative option is to simply ignore and post on, or even better, start other threads. I think it was @magnetman who rightly pointed out that the forum won't survive without posted content.
Doesn't really matter what a new thread is about as most of us are happy to just chat amongst ourselves and let the thread take us where it will Rog I think it was @magnetman who repeatedly told members that posted what he didn't like to "f off"....?

One very positive gain that's come out of the recent diminishing numbers of active Thunderboat posters is that MtB [Mike the Boilerman] the pissed-up short-arsed and thoroughly objectionable little plumber from CWDF has ceased his constant trolling over here, . . latterly all done under the name ' nemesis'. You are an idiot. Martin @nemesis is not MtB in any way shape or form And yes he (@nemesis) did stop posting here because of a particular over-bearing, irritating and contemptible poster and it wasn't me !!

Can you point me to the other ones? I know I got wound up with you as you were being too annoying and yes maybe another couple of posters but it was usually with good reason. If you can find an example of me posting "fuck off" at someone without any reason then can I see it ? I think there was an exchange at some stage which I believe both sides were gaining amusement from. Sometimes it is very funny being offensive to people you will never meet, as long as they are on "the same page". And the funniest thing I have ever read on here came from TonyDunkley. -space reserved for future use- That got me laughing more than I have laughed for a long time.

It doesn't really work to get upset at @magnetman 's posts metanoia ... he has his own values and standards. I believe I recall the spat you refer to ... @magnetman was rude and clumsy .. but he appeared to have formed the impression (wrongly I suspect) that you were 'judging' his inter actions with his kids and responded appropriately (in his view) I guess. My sympathies were with your response, but I accepted @magnetman 's expression of anger. This is the problem with identifying 'THE PROBLEM' here ... we can all object to each other's posts on any given day. Rarely is any spite expressed actually intentional ... but there is the occasional exception Rog

This is the problem with identifying 'THE PROBLEM' here ... we can all object to each other's posts on any given day. Rarely is any spite expressed actually intentional ... but there is the occasional exception Rog Agreed and understood. Hence my disappearing for a while. Repeatedly being told to "f off" oddly has that effect on decent people. I never passed judgement nor gave an opinion about his chosen lifestyle nor the way he reared his children. I merely expressed an opinion about the use of a particular word. However, that was certainly not the first time @magnetman tried to insult and demean me - he made much of hating my forum name on more than one occasion .... What gives any one poster the right to be reprehensible, rude, abusive and downright nasty to another because he "has his own values and standards" (sic)? Many of you vilify and abuse people like TonyDunkley and naughtyfox for doing much the same. This forum does, sadly, seem to "belong" to a chosen few.

I accept your view ... I understand your objections ... I feel the same about abuse aimed at me (and there's quite a bit ) I'm not trying to persuade you one way or the other ... everyone has to make their own judgements on what they read. But an unmoderated forum surely has to be open to everyone to post as they see fit. Our part is to read and make our own decisions on our response to the poster. We have to trust that others will see what we see ... or we should step away from this cesspit of God's mistakes. I hope you stay around, but that's your choice. For what it's worth I think you're right ... no one should be "reprehensible, rude, abusive and downright nasty" to others. For my part I choose to avoid abuse ... I have no control over other's posts Rog

I didn't know MtB = Nemesis... But then I cannot suss out many of these sock puppets or visitors from over the road... I don’t think it is - too good a taste in music and an appalling taste in outboard engines is enough to convince me it’s not The short wee boiler fixer from CWDF. Besides which - I’m sure @nemesis and @magnetman have met in real life - I get the impression Andrew and MtB meeting and enjoying each other’s company would be a surprising thing

metanoiaI'm sorry about the username thing. I don't believe that I was ever personally abusive about it I just pointed out that it was the name of a so called psychotherapy unit I attended when I was a disturbed teenager. It was in Ealing. Trainee idiots using spades to get into people's heads with. Just a random fluke the name was the same. And as for the thing about use of language and my children if I remember right you directly linked the rape and murder of a woman in the news to my use of the word "cunt" and the fact I am the father of two young daughters. That IS rude. Sorry but it is. That is the definition of rude. If you can't handle people being rude to you then do not be rude to them I am happy to say that my girls use the "c word" regularly as a descriptive word for people who are objectionable. They know what it means in all senses and they live in the real world. Their mum swears like a trooper too but in French You categorically DID pass judgment on the way I am raising my Children. I don't know if you have any of your own but if you do then maybe you understand what parenting is about and don't fuck around with judging people.

In fact I believe he may be one of very few people who decided to post on here without having ever been on canalworld. He also is into boats, which seems to be a reasonably interesting thing to chat about online given that most people using this forum have at least a link to boats if not currently being the legal owner of any.
