I'm out of here!
 
We've got mantronic's lunatic rantings and the related backlash, Bethpageblack, or whatever it's name is,
taking the piss and hijacking threads all over the place.
It's not even funny anymore.

Sure, there is a lot of usefull information and genuinely helpful members floating around but the threads usually end up in a pissing match after being hijacked.

I've enjoyed a lot of the comments but a select few posters are getting way too over the top now, some are beyond sarchastic, just plain nasty.
(Watch this space and see which ones come out of the woodwork).

mantronic and Bethpageblack are banned (mantronic temp).

We are trying to keep things on track, but it is the posters that make a forum, not the mods.

Sorry you feel this way, hope change your mind.

Well I am gonna bite on this one.


Re Mantronic - granted

BethPB - what is everyones problem, he's obviously a wind up and having his fun I dont recall him being nasty, correct me if i am wrong anyone.

There is a couple of people that I often have a little spat with, I dont agree with their opinions and posts and i tell them, end of.. I don't get all upset over it, thats the way it is

We are all guilty of hijacking threads, taking the piss out of each other and having little fights with each other, but thats the nature of BE and always has been.

Saying that a LOT of people have gotten some invaluable info and help from BE and its members and sometimes without thanks

..but you have posted in the on-topic subforum, so there is likely to be less thread hijacking here. The persona you mentioned and others normally post in the off-topic chit chat subforum (i.e., The Sandpit)...so you might expect a little banter now and again...no? :confused:

I'd say that this thread has no ME value and should be in the sand pit.

I have noticed that for some reason it happens only on the Middle East section of BE. You know that morality and political correctness can easily disappear in some people when they become rich.

Well, as a general trend most of us move out to the Middle East countries in the hope of becoming rich, its a different thing that it doesn't always happen. And no offence to any one there's absolutely nothing wrong with economic migration. I was just trying to say people could be more polite and respectful while posting on this forum.
