I will look forward to it whilst I'm at home and working.
The fact someone disagrees and says so, doesn't mean you're wrong in your view, or not entitled to it, as I know you fully appreciate.
That after all, is the discussion part of the forum.
By the way, I've not asked about Jeff's jaw for a while, assuming it's progressed to normality ... hope that's the case.

Yes, but more to the point the incessant ridiculous polls with pathetically stupid title choices are, I believe, far more damaging to the forum. Does anybody really expect this place to be taken seriously or is it just as Rog suggests an arena for friends to cozy up together and make in-jokes with each other? That's a fair point and I agree with you. So bye. Well overdue me thinks I have spoken at length with deleted and successfully convinced him or her that the forum would be a lesser place for his or her absence.

I don't think anyone has been banished, we don't have that power... It doesn't need "power" to banish. Recurring hurt will do a far better job. If u r referring to Foxy, My choice to put him on ignore came because of his obsessional cut and paste wild posting regarding Covid.. The decision was not taken lightly as I have never put any other regular member of this forum on ignore.... I could not cope with the unrelenting anti vaccine anti covid propaganda that he spouted I have always said, I met Foxy, he came across as a pleasant, chatty individual and I hoped that when all this settled it would get back to how it was. I enjoyed the Foxy who would post about his boat and N Finland etc, I just could not cope with what he chose to embrace and the fact that he could not let it go. We all have choices and decisions to make. This forum has been my window out into the World through a very difficult time(not just Covid). I will continue to post and enjoy the banter for as long as I can. If the whole forum sunk into a toxic whirlpool of nastiness then I would go. Its nice to see you posting again and I hope all well with you.

I know some ex boat owners still do of course.

Hope he continues here ... last post I read of his, the new job involved long hours and much wider travel, giving him less free time ... I was hoping when things settled down he'd be back to tell us all about it. Rog

Rog I did read that he's intending to sell boat but it wasn't one of his posts and I just assumed I'd missed where he put it.

I hope he returns, his kindness is legendry. That's probably what rankled so much with Thunderboat's rather less decent, kind, and honest !

I had to put Ross on ignore as well, Originally I used to do a lot of defending him, often saying how in person what a genuinely nice person he was. naughtyfox the rabid anti vaccine anti covid cut and poster was, I found impossible to argue with or deal with, I don't know where he was finding the garbage he sometimes posted but everytime you countered with information from a reputable source it was just ignored.
In the end I was fed up with being wound up by the sheer rubbish he sometimes posted and by being referred to as a sheeple that he went on the ignore list.
If he returned but without the massive "covid" chip on his shoulder and posted as he used to years ago, I would be delighted.
I really liked the man !!! He and Pirkko stayed on Sabina when I was in Benfleet and they are a really nice couple.

Seconded. Ross and Pirkko are cool people.
Yes he went a bit off message during all the covid bollocks and that was somewhat distasteful but does not detract from the fact he is a cool person.
Just talking to @nemesis yesterday on one of our mammoth telephone calls and he pointed out that I am completely different in person to how I may be perceived on the forum.
I was hoping this was a Good Thing but not entirely sure !

Evangeline has insisted I try to do something more durable about having less traceability so I have now succeeded in having two identical user names with the same login detail.
I'm not 100% sure how this possible but it does seem to have come to pass.

This is not entirely accurate. It is more that I imagined you differently before I met you. I expect the same would be true of any of the interesting folk who frequent these hallowed pages should our paths cross in real life. One way or another anyhow.
