I told Dan that when he first joined the forum. His posts are slightly better than they were in the beginning, but I wouldn't have employed him if his work was going to be in the public domain or part of a customer interface. I learnt at a very early stage of my career that faultless grammar and spelling were pre-requisites for a competent engineer. As an engineer in the commercial field he would be required to produce convincing reports and coherent and accurate technical arguments and calculations. How he ever managed as a design engineer for JCB I will never know. You've just caused something to click in what passes for my mind. I have never worked for or had dealings with JCB but I have been told by several folk who have had dealings with them that the working atmosphere is horrible. No real acknowledgement of initiative and everyone scared of their immediate superior. If that's where Dan has learned how to deal with people it could explain a lot about how he manages CW. In a previous life happily concluded, for 10 years as a supplier, I had reasonably high level dealings with JCB across all their divisions and I can confirm the place was run dictator style with everyone too scared to stick their head above the parapit, even the senior execs had to ask for permission from Joe before proceeding with mundane decisions. Very strange place seeing as it's meant to be so innovative and forward thinking. Hugely paranoid, introverted and egotistical - sound familiar? Maybe this is the model our CWF friend has adopted. Disclaimer - My dealings with JCB concluded 2 years after Joe died and his even worse son took over. so ancient history, any current JCB employees reading this may (hopefully) find this is not the case now. But I doubt it.

I haven't heard back from Dan re my complaint about hints from the mods that I'd sent inappropriate PMs. However I see the whole thread has disappeared. So now when you look at CWDF there seems to be nothing wrong, all sweetness and light. But Dan must be getting a bit low on his supply of whitewash! I notice that LM is still down as a mod, shame. I was hoping that was 1 down 2 to go, but it seems not.

Me too. I did point that out to Theo on CW several weeks ago. I wasn't positive but the style was/is very similar. Well in that case you have got it wrong I have had an account on CW for a very long time one I use for chit chat. I added the one you knew when I decided to enter the technical fray. It is running nicely, of course I don't temp fate by doing technical No I am not giving you any clues Just a thought with you all over here maybe I will start doing techs.

It is not categoric and thus difficult to prove intent in court. It could simply be seen as clumsy writing. But anyway at least she has done me a favour by nailing her colours to the mast.

It is certainly sufficient that you should demand an apology on pain of hitting their ISP with a take down notice.

So when you said to me "Suffice to say I have no sock puppet on CWDF" that was an outright lie presumably? In which case we can hardly be expected to believe anything you say.

Not his field, but I feel sure he could take a stab at it I could recommend a good one, only you would have to come down to London. Nick have you ever thought that you could be so much more effective if you eased off and became gentler. I suspect if you have been suspended, different from banned, that the reason is that you kept pushing hard and were aggressive not leave people time to sort things out. The result is you have no input on the boards over this important reconstruction period and Daniel & Co will ignore most of what you have said.

No it was correct, a socpuppet follows a previous one and my CWF one is an original, years old. If anything the one you knew was a socpuppet
