And why do you think that?

Ah, my mistake - I didn't realize this was a meeting of the new church of butch

I have a knack

Come on Alan, it's nothing like that at all....don't try and stir up shit

Funny....I thought that was a wooden spoon!

Just to pre-empt, and to save unnecessary typing..... This thread is closed

I knew that would happen once we had the kiss of death from Alan!

To be fair to butch - there are many posts above that he could do his trick on.

A lot of people who used to post here now just read threads. Chumley, Startwin???
I think too many posts have been dismissed or deleted on a whim sometimes.
This is just my opinion and nothing I want to get into a fight with Mods over.
I think it is a real shame that some are not still here.
Anyway if anyone wants a chat on FB then please PM me

I miss all the regular posters.....I really do, it's just a pity they feel they can't post they way they did in the past.

I'm not talking about abuse, I'm talking about having a laugh in general...

I don't understand how all of a sudden something that was funny before is now deleted within seconds, just because it 'might' upset someone, somewhere in cyber space! We never worried about them before, when did we start?......

Novo's spending the summer at his house in Normandy, and doesn't have such good internet connnection - don't worry, he'll be back the end of the month
I also miss Steve P, he had lots of good advice and I think this was a good place for him to be too, kept his mind off his health problems perhaps.

Too true. I have had my disagreements with Butch (and shared them with him via PM) but overall I prefer freedom of speech to censorship. If something/someone offends me I will let them know... this running to the mods and whining is a bit cowardly and big girl's blousy really.

It's not favouritism, or whatever else you'll accuse us of, simply that we have lives and have to sleep at some point. Can't be here all the time I'm afraid.

And the 'several decent posters' have obviously told us different things to what they've told you!! Their reasons for having a break from the forum may not be what you think.[/quote]


You have 3 moderators for the Canadian forum, all in different time zones. You also have supermoderators, again in different time zones, so whilst it's true that mods have lives and are not around all the time, your excuse in this instance is not valid - or if it is, someone is not doing their job properly. I would also suggest you also keep site rule 1 in mind., it applies to moderators as well as other members of the forum

Yes it is.

I'll add that I've had plenty of posts deleted and edited for various reasons, sometimes it's a fair cop, others it's wtf was wrong with that? I guess the difference is that I just don't care enough to make a big deal of it.

Novo coming back might turn out to be the highlight of the Summer.... (even tho the man seems to detest me for some reason, then again... i'm sure I couldn't care less about it)!

Steve is the person I miss the most...no offence intended to anyone else!
