Ahhhh - much better!!!! Thank you!!!! Going through the sub forums one at a time is a PITA. Delta9 - Looking at things from the perspective of this index, I can see why have objected to this thread. If you want to remove this and the other MtB thread, I wouldn't object. We don't want threads removed on this site, it would just be good to have some fresh ones while others are allowed to die a death with out being constantly revisited and rehashed by people that should and frequently do, know better. Everyone agrees with your hopes and aspirations for the forum but we were born out of a difficult pregnancy and its only natural that there are some recriminations over how we became pregnant in the first place. Sooner or later someone will say " look we have the baby,lets crack on " and this is where we currently are. Lets hoist the Jolly Roger and hope for some good argument and debate over the Bank Holiday aboard the Thunderboat.

I could think of 445 I would clear right away! You went and looked to see how many posts I've made? (I didn't know myself - had to check). Well, it's simple - at the sign of The Fox on the left, just skip over - don't read my 'psychobabble'. Simples. Come on now your an avid number counter and we all know it and also I have liked your posts where I have indicated so don't go all arsey on me. You were calling for Delta9 to have a clear out and I suggested clearing yours out first which has obviously riled you.

Just looked - NF 449, cds 223. Suck it up, dude! - but you've done those in a week, so I'm sure you'll be out in front soon. ("You were calling for Delta9 to have a clear out and I suggested clearing yours out first which has obviously riled you." - I actually thought it was funny. remember. I'm not another 'mjg' - I'm his stalker, haha!) I thought you just said your not competitive

If Thunderboat is going to be a success, it is going to have to live or die on its own merit. Criticizing and lampooning what happens on CWDF is certainly going to happen here, and sometimes it's quite fun. However, but stuff like the "MTB is a Prick" thread are totally unnecessary, and truly do more to demean this site than to enhance it. "Criticizing the competition" is a very poor sales tactic. Certainly it would much better to say something along the lines of "CWDF is good, but Thunderboat is better!" than to make chicken jokes befitting an adolescent or to criticize someone for their stature. I don't know MtB other than through infrequent on-line interaction. He's never been overly friendly, but he's never been rude. I certainly have no complaints about him. It seems like most the people here at Thunderboat have a "live and let live" attitude, even though one of the reasons we are all here is so that we can freely disagree with each other. The "MtB is a Prick" thread, and some of the posts on it, are really beneath the people here. You're better than that! We're better than that! And where does it end? I don't think anyone here would like to have themselves put under a microscope and dissected by the other members. Then again there's the fact that public internet attacks against individuals are apparently frowned on by your legal system, so why put Delta9 in a legally precarious position? I realize Emma is only here to wind people up, but we don't have to fall for it. If this site is going to remain uncensored, then we are going to have to self-moderate by ignoring threads like that and just letting them die without comment. That's my opinion anyway. I just don't see any benefit at all to that kind of nonsense and I think it is detrimental to this site as a whole. Try reading my original post rather than galloping off on your high horse. I called Mike the Boilerman a prick, and I stand by it, because a man came along with a plumbing question that was frustrating him and all this plumber did was take the piss. you could try asking the poser of the question his opinion, he disappeared presumably because he was getting nowhere. I'm on a few forums and argument apart the main raison d'être is to exchange information. And have that information available to anyone googling the problem. Anyone searching that particular problem will read it, and Mike the Boilerman's facetious remarks, and go away thinking 'who's this prick?'. As this forum was, in its inception, a reaction to CWDF I find your post ( about CWDF) hypocritical.

It appears you're being more than a little unfair to Mr MtB, it comes across as a personal vendetta. At least he does give some actual help in the end which is a lot better than some on CWDF who can but don't. Granted it usually comes with a lot of posturing and waffle, but it's no worse than the much lamented El Gibbo back in the day. And if he doesn't give help to ladies with questions who will? Nothing to stop yourself acquiring some knowledge and doing the same...

I see however MTB has upset someone today and caused them to flounce.
He got on his hobby horse about CO and CO2 and the person who made the mistake took um-bridge...

I will say this though he admitted he was wrong and made no bones about it. Although in the past I have thought he was condescending to other posters but when his incorrect statement was pointed out (and I must admit in a slightly caustic way) he took it very well ........... so fair do's

Well he's just defaulted to his 'smart ares wanker' mode. The trouble with some software, is that it needs frequent updating. Probably not got a suitable signal in his boat. Or perhaps they have stopped updates for his particular system.
