Or would you like to see the forum degenerate into online obiturary 'Hollywood'?

Come on Butch you’re the King in posting useless crap

and hark about pot.. kettle.. black.. complaining about the forum degenerating

I had you and a few others on ignore for a while just so some topics would at least be readable and free from inane mindless chatter!
:unsure:

And Louise didn't make a personal attack, she made a sarcastic comment which nobody has reported. So no need for any action.

I didnt belittle anyones thread nor use the word pointless (however if you feel I did perhaps there is something going on in YOUR subconcious;))

I feel it was a personal attack (however unlike some I fail to see the point in reporting/removing/editing or otherwise sanctioning everything I disagree with)

Maybe we need a new sub forum call it In Memoriam so some can post about all the celebrities that have passed away.:sneaky:

:lol: What's this then, if not a sarcastic thread belitting those that others have chosen to post? http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=630904 Hardly a subtle dig, was it?

And sorry you feel it was a personal attack, I don't see it as anything other than a sarcastic comment in response to you implying that her thread tedious.

Again Butch, just ignore it if you don't agree with it! No need to always stir things up.

...and you should know better than to insert yourself into the middle of it and continually stir the damned pot.

As a moderator you should know when bite your tongue and to stay out of things.

You're all acting like bloody two years olds, for goodness sake grow up.

Us moderators are entitled to an opinion - shocking, I know.

I haven't closed any threads, or deleted Butch's sarcastic one either. I've only responded to those that have replied directly to me, in a polite manner. Hardly 'stirring the pot'. :blink:

You just don't get it do you.

It's got nothing to do with closing or deleting threads.

If you want to get in a fight with someone and bring threads to their attention the do it via PM not the way you currently operate.

Your modus operandi is completely at odds with the way a moderator should function.
