Its more than time to call time on all this silly baiting. Grow up...and that's not directed at any one individual. I used to love coming here but just lately its been rather unpleasant. There is just no let up..there are some very bitter men....

It is rather odd that there is one poster, who habitually posts insults and jibes, who is tolerated as an eccentric and another who is currently being castigated for behaving in exactly the same manner. Kris has a point - one has been irrationally defended against the other on numerous occasions. We may have gone past the point where deciding 'who started it' is of little use (although I think that point is clear enough) but there are definitely some double standards at play here. If that is being aimed at me ........
My first intervention in the kris/TD postings (which started off kris' accusations of me being a forum moderator) was just after I had received some bad news
I posted that the news I had received was such that it put things in a different perspective and I asked TD to just let things lie quiet.
He did
The next day he made a post suggesting a solution to a technical problem to another member ..... no mention of the spat or of kris or of anyone else he had been arguing with.
kris immediately after, posted a jibe at Tony and I posted "You just can't leave things alone can you" This resulted in a tirade from kris of me trying to be a moderator and I never complained about TD etc etc.
When Twerp made a simillar coment about kris bringing up TD even in a thread where he had neither posted nor been mentioned I posted a joking warning post to Twerp .......
In fairness I think you should go and read the towing boats with a bicycle from about half way down the first page.
I have no time for the type of posts that have been going on between mostly those three (kris/stabby/TD) and have not intervened and would like to see it stopped, it's reached a stupid level and is just buggering up a damn good forum. I have not posted in these exchanges since it started getting so ridiculous.
all three are as bad as one another ..... when I asked one to stop politely .... he did .... but it wasn't allowed to lie quiet, and the first one to start it off again was kris ....... so yes, I do blame him, for being an idiot.

There is just no let up..there are some very bitter men.... Thing is, Patty, dunk has actually stated he enjoys it. It's his only hobby, bless him. In fact it's his whole life (besides his one true friend Betsy). And Kris is upset on two points - the endless and undeserved insults - he was actually one of Tony's supporters not so long ago - and to add injury, he's the one taking stick for it. It's all grist to Tony's mill. He loves being a prick.

Yes, but not exclusively you, and I note that you have stayed out of the tripe for a fair while. Yes it is a mess, and there are few without some blame, but there is an undeniable root cause.

The thing is, it takes 2 (or more) to have an argument. Peace and harmony could easily be restored to the forum if a few people stopped reacting to a few other people’s posts. In the same way that I stopped reacting to a certain person’s posts a while ago. Consequently they got bored and stopped posting inflammatory stuff.
Loss of face is of course involved, but the bigger person is the one who disregards momentary and temporary loss of face for the greater good,

Can't agree with you. I've left dunkley alone, basically ignored him, yet he again today dragged me into his pathetic little game. So your reasoning doesn't fit. He's a fuckin liability, and you need to either stop sticking up for his behaviour, or tell him to grow up.

I do not agree with you and will never agree and it is not resolvable so I will have to simply not read your posts. I should have done this ages ago for my health.

The thing is though John, that although I don't get along with Dunkley I get along with pretty much everybody else whereas Dunkley doesn't seem to get on with anybody and is even hostile and confrontational to such benign and inoffensive members as Dogless and Trina. There's your clue right there mate.
