I would be obliged TonyDunkley if you could post a link to the 'Barrowford locks a bit of an SOS' thread please. I feel everyone should have the opportunity to consider how badly you have been treated by me. Your post above indicates your contempt for most here on thunderboat, and probably on CWDF too as you were repeatedly banned from there. JohnV constantly defends your behaviour due to your exemplary knowledge and experience. Frankly all that is wasted if , due to your behaviour no one will listen to you. It is very sad , but it is a situation of your own making as your post above demonstrates. I have never posted an untruth about TonyDunkley Rog ETA or how about we just ignore each other

If you feel like that,the answer is to just bugger off & never darken the doors again.Wishing it would die is just plain nasty to other members.If you bugger off,the forum would be of no interest to you would it ? So,just leave would be my answer & those of us who wish to remain can do so. What's the attraction for you of a forum with a nucleus of only a very few active members consisting mainly of prime specimens of the unjustifiably self-opinionated, the petty-minded, the mean spirited, the moronic, the ill-intentioned, and the congenitally dishonest -- to name but a few of their rather more endearing characteristics ? It does beg the question why do you want to contribute to a forum that’s full of such awful people? Oh yes I remember your not allowed to post anywhere else.

Post by Telemachus on Aug 20, 2022 8:24:16 GMT
I have lived aboard my boat nine months a year, travelling the system for 17 years. Of course I'm not utterly incompetent technically or how the hell do you think I've survived ? I am aware that my DIY skills are unworthy of discussion in comparison to say @gazza faffer JohnV Telemachus ... I could go on. It's called self deprecation ... you REALLY should try it. As to your other nonsense ... am I to understand that your hate campaign against me is simply based on the fact I put a 'like' on somebodies post ? Is that the extent of my misbehaviour ? It makes sense because I know I have never posted untruths about TonyDunkley . Rog I am not directing this comment at you, but as a general point just because one has been doing something for a long time doesn’t mean they have been doing it correctly or even well, nor as a role model for others to follow. You just have to go on the roads and see some pretty appalling driving from not-new drivers. Somehow they manage to mostly negotiate the roads without disaster, but one can sometimes wonder how. Take an example on the cut - mooring one’s boat. About 50% of boaters have no idea how to tie up their boats so they don’t rock excessively when a boat passes slowly. I am sure that if challenged, they would say so something like “I’ve been boating for 17 years, and I have always moored using the centre line / had my lines at 90 degrees (delete as appropriate) because that is the right thing to do, as everyone knows.” Dunning-Kruger as usual. So one might have been boating for 17 years but that doesn’t mean one hasn’t been doing it badly for 17 years. Once again I am not getting at you but when you say “how the hell do you think I’ve survived”, it could receive the response that it would be better to do things well and correctly, than only so as to survive. In your case I’m sure your boating technique is exemplary but for plenty of people with 17 years of boating, they still have all the gear but no idea.

There are those here who will always try to be helpful, but asking and answering technical questions on forums is extremely problematic and unlikely to yield positive results. Rog Despite not being qualified in any way to do so, you simply can't resist the compulsion ... to endorse and add to any mindless garbage. TB has suffered from your unstinting efforts to close down any further discussion on yet another thread subject that you know sod all about, but on which you nevertheless feel qualified to shout your obstinately bigoted views. people like you shoving your uninformed claptrap BBC Cumbria local news just now propagating yet more fear ('the virus spreads far more quickly now we're all mixing freely again...') to cajole people into getting jabbed again. No vaccine I've ever heard of requires a does of it every few months; ever feel you've been cheated? The question needs to be asked: Are the pharmaceuticals simply profiteering? Those in positions of 'authority,' including 'public servants' should be made to declare where they have an interest, by which I mean shares in such companies. "And I said I will accept a booster if offered. You are free to do as you please." "If invited to have a further vaccination I will certainly have it. Why should I consider ignoring the best available medical advice ? It's not compulsory ... anyone unhappy to have it can decline." (even if it means losing their job!) Because it's not the best medical advice. And continuing to go along with the scam is just prolonging the scam and misery for millions of others.

As this is the 'Approach to newbies' thread, I am a bit surprised how new member dogless has been spoken to by TD. I know I had a tough time of it too on my first day. Why did you remove your post about being one of the boaters member 'Isambard Kingdom Brunel' said he was going to beat up? Did he threaten to come and 'see you' if you didn't remove the offending post?

Couldn't agree more Telemachus This is alll evidence supporting why I said getting technical advice on forums is problematic. Also why I always self deprecate in such discussions ... my engine servicing and repairs are good enough for me but in the face of e.g. @gazza skills, abilities and experience it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than speak and prove it Rog

JohnV constantly defends your behaviour due to your exemplary knowledge and experience. Rog ETA or how about we just ignore each other Find the Barrowford Locks SOS thread for yourself, . . it's all in your "posting history". My "post above" indicates my contempt for YOU, . . and for your equally stupid and contemptible adherents, . . and NOT for the vast majority of the Thunderboat's silent membership, . . who have also formed their own low opinion of you and the other like-minded invertebrates, in whose odious company you sit so comfortably. JohnV is one of a great many who have recognized and benefitted from my "exemplary knowledge and experience", . . you and your like never will -- you're far too stupid for that !

So not taking the ignore option then. Your post above says all I need to know about your opinion of thunderboats membership it seems. I have never posted an untruth about TonyDunkleyRog

Thank you TonyDunkley ... but if I may be permitted to point out to you and your massive audience of guests and supporters who remain anonymous due to my presence on thunderboat ... You visited this thread for the sole purpose of insulting me ... I have only responded, never initiated contact with you. I have never posted an untruth regarding TonyDunkleyRog

If Tony believes I’ve posted untruths about him? Then it’s up to him to provide a link.

If Tony believes I’ve posted untruths about him? Then it’s up to him to provide a link. Good luck with that. It didn't work well for me. 31 members have joined thunderboat this year. 3 of those have made a few posts. The other 4 are just reincarnated old members. And? I don’t get your point. Are you suggesting that thunderboat is judged by its number of members? I don’t think the idea of thunderboat is to have loads of members is it? Don’t get me wrong a few more regular posters or originators of posts would be good. But it’s in no way indicative of the “success,” or not of this place. If there are two people enjoying communicating on here then it has succeeded in my opinion. But some people seem to want to “develop,” thunderboat into something that it isn’t. Oh well I suppose it’s a state of mind.
