It's the fault of the Dutch !!! ....... what was that ..... I thought you said Guilders ...... Oh !!! sorrySlight correction, it's not the fault of the Dutch. It's the fault of glider pilots disturbing the natural balance of nature No - this forum is the fault of DHutch Ah ha. I take it I'm not the only one to have upset the Athycart then?

I don't know really. We were in a forum about the french election and somehow it got on to nationalisation. He and I had a few, fair and frank, exchanges and then I suggested it was better discussed in a room for 'nationalisation' and opened one. He carried on ranting at me, and then he removed a reply to him that basically showed him up to be 'unprofessional' as a mod.
Anyway ranting continued he spat his dummy and closed the thread. Then started ranting at me in another about moderators. That someone else had started. So I shot him down, showed him up and shelled him, as we used to say when I was about 11. The age he was acting.
I nearly resorted to telling him his mum is so fat if she jumped, she'd get stuck! But that's far too childish. I did tell him he was a toss pot though ha ha
So I was told it's a much more forgiving crowd in here, and so far they have been appreciative and helpful in equal measure

Athy is fine but old school and there was certainly a "personality clash" between you!

I find him very fair as well, and like you I have fell foul a couple of times with the mods

And if he hadn't removed the post I'd have put up with his obvious eccentricities. I was enjoying taking the piss.

Actually, if any in here are members and haven't seen it. Have a look at the exchanges between him and me in thread 'moderators' in virtual pub. Let me know what you think

Let me know what you think some of us were expunged, permanently and totally ( me for "fomenting dissent" ) the translation of which is .... holding opposing views to the management .... and saying so .... frequently I can't be arsed to get a sock puppet or use suggested methods to get around their "sod off you are not welcome" message There are some very nice people on there ........ but there are also a lot of self righteous, brown nosing, narrow minded, thick twats and an "owner" who seems to think that the forum is the product of his genius, his own private fiefdom, not a product of the person who initially started it, together with the financial support of many, (some of whom were later expelled) and hundreds of thousands of posts by many many contributors.

If they had had more mods like athy I'm convinced half the issues would not of happened. He does like to post without a mod hat on And I for one would welcome him here
You wouldn't of lasted two seconds with the other two that disappeared after bangate.
You can have those arguments here without fear and I'm sure you will at some point but its all good fun.

I've scanned through a bit but found nothing that I would get upset about. I did post that I hoped another Great Cull was not looming and that I thought modding had settled to sensible levels, others agreed with me, but I suppose the level of moderation stems back to the Dutch boy. Steve, you are better off here,at least the rules don't change on a daily basis. History of Thunderboat is........a good number of us objected to the moderation and suffered being put on mod queue, warning points, and out right bans, Delta 9 was told " if you don't like it, start your own forum" so he did, only took him a couple of hours, the rest is history. In the early days we got a lot of "raids"from the other channel just so they could go back to CWDF and say what a disgusting foul mouthed mob we were but we just got on eith enjoying ourselves. Phil

Perhaps I'm the only one who reads Athy as a sexist dirty old man masquerading as a fuddy duddy? If anyone likes sock puppetry, try joining as a newbie female and watch him in action! Can't stand the blokes condescending crap and making him a moderator underlined much of what's wrong at CWF. IMO.

I'm afraid he came the 'retired headmaster' with me. So I went full on Alexei Sayle and I think his head exploded.

Yes he can come across a bit patronising but once you get used to him, he's fine and many of his posts have a dose of dry humour which might not immediately be apparent. He is not vindictive and in general means well, whilst not being perfect. If you want perfection, this is the right place to be. NOT!
