Mike must be chuffed he has a thread specially for himself on here. He has just made this comment about the missing boat search... "However, I didn't notice any of the old Awkward Squad from here taking part in the search" Well if by 'old Awkward Squaud' he is breaking Dan's rules and making cross posts with this forum...What exactly did he contribute to the search? I know many of us kept an eye open for the boat as we are actually out on the cut most of the time. As far as I know, brown nosing doesn't help find missing boats. Keep them coming Mike, I know you read this forum. Better still, come on here, then you can really let rip without being moderated. It's all in good humour though. True, I was looking out for that boat all week. Had I seen it, I wouldn't have been able to post on CWDF about it, but I would have posted about it here, and enough CWDF members log on here for the message to have got back to the owners. I guess MtB is still desperately trying to suck up to Daniel in the hope of realising his long-held ambition of becoming a CWDF moderator. Dan knows where I am if he needs me

I think MTB is on record as saying he is no longer interested mainly owing to the fact that Dan never replied to his "application"

Dan knows where I am if he needs me I was a moderator of a far busier and more fractious forum than CWDF for nearly ten years, and it is a fairly unrewarding task. Personally, I would never moderate a forum again. The huge difference between the forum I moderated (TruckNet) and CWDF is that it was strictly forbidden for a moderator to sanction a member simply because the moderator disagreed with the poster's point of view. The majority of members banned from CWDF were banned because they supported UKIP at the last General Election, not because they had broken any forum rules, the "site owner" was a strong Bremainer (even to the point of displaying a "Vote Remain" poster on his own boat, and changing his avatar to a "Vote Remain" avatar on referendum day despite his ban on political statements). I think the massive majority of internet forum administrators would regard CWDF's moderation policy as very amateurish.

Totally agree,when it suits the owner CWDF becomes either a vehicle for his Career or his Politics. It is both Amateurism and Stupidity that he believes CWDF can influence either.

Plenty of remain supporters have felt the wrath of the CWDF Mods (including me) and a quick read of the Brexit thread over there shows that the place is still over run with right wing spastics.

I'm afraid LC went far beyond that and I know why. 'cos I'm not an atheist.

Well, I haven't read it, but since more people voted for Brexit than have ever voted for anything else in British political history (17 million, the previous record was 13.5 million for the Conservative party at the 1979 General Election) then it might possibly be fair to conclude that the majority of the UK electorate are not "right-wing spastics".

He isn't talking about the majority of the Uk,only the majority of people on CWDF and I think Delta is probably right about that.

I think the massive majority of internet forum administrators would regard CWDF's moderation policy as very amateurish. I was banned from CWDF in Lady Cuntsandra's grand purge about a month ago. A few weeks prior to the purge I received a warning for a comment I made about the moderators on Moonin' Papa's thread, and hadn't posted anything else between then and being banned. I did, however, make some rather disparaging remarks about "the disgusting modcreatures" in the Thunderbar thread here, and that is what seems to have precipitated my banishment. CWDF has turned into an ass-kissing circle jerk. There are still a lot of great people involved there, and it is widely read as evidenced by the stolen boat thread. It's just a pity that so much of the posting has to involve puckering up and planting a big one on the moderators' backsides.

Whats the idea of these "pearls of wisdom" at the bottom of your posts I have been trying to come up with something better to reflect both your stature and the gravitas of your posts,I shall let you know,I may be some time

Just my signature. It's normally fairly ephemeral and just reflects whatever current whimsy is on my mind. I'm expecting to pass MK on or about the 18th August on my way down to London, I'll stop off for a spliff and a couple of lines if you are about.

Oh dear god, you do realize that in Kris's mind you have now formed the Thunderboat cartel and will be accused of everything from terrorism to bar-b-queing live babies whenever he takes umbrage at any of your posts.

Great I shall be just South of Milton Keynes at that point,but shall turn back if required.I hope you can make it of a day or two duration. Its a pity we can't get Tadworth, Jenlyn, Bassplayer and some more members involved,I can certainly put anyone up for the duration if they don't fancy moving their boats.

In fairness, I think Kris was unfairly victimised on CWDF when he had problems with the type of boat that you can't just pop down the local motor factors to buy a spare part for. I said so at the time. I do also think he was a little pious and sanctimonious about HaulierP's reference to some minor recreational drug use. So I guess he he stands as "neutral" in my rankings. He is still somebody I wouldn't mind stopping off with for a chat with though.
