I see several of you have already started putting the boot in, must be boring in Dubai these days if thats all you've got to write.


I'de appreciate you supporting him,

In this day and age, we would have treated you just the same...

With all due respect to TS (who's one of the soundest blokes I've ever met), I'm not asking for any special treatment at all. Be honest, Meow : given my track record, do you seriously think I'd either want or need it? :)

I mean, I even use my real name... no hiding behind avatars for me ;)

But Gareth, you don't have an avatar! :lol:


To be fair, I didn't see you asking for special treatment, but why would others think you'd want/need it?? Seems to me you are an adult & can stand up for yourself. I'll disagree with you if I see fit, same as anyone... ;)


PS - You you get a special *Mod* badge, like a prefects badge?? :cool:

Exactly :) I've never held with all that avatar/fake name nonsense anyway, unless you're doing something like secretdubai. Why hide behind a fake name?

If the others have got one, then I want one too!

No idea why anyone would want to be a moderator. Does it make them feel *special*?

:)



Gosh, this *thing* is catching isn't it?

yes, but you don't have to be crunts about it either...

Crunts? Do you mean what I think you mean?

Was that REALLY necessary?

Whatever, it gets the point across, give someone hassle for being a plank, but don't spin it just because they are a mod when it isn't warranted.

Not that I was referring to you or Meow directly, but the general theme here is people being just that, which is hardly fair.
