Ever so warm for October isn't it?

[CelticGeezeer]

O.k, fair enough, then let me just specify to anyone reading that i'm in possesion of all the facts as nemesis sees and understands the situation.

There is also the remote possibility that Nem's version of the facts might be ever so slightly bias

so then it stands to reason that if the falable human being is capable of bending the truth for the sake of personal benefit then those in charge of his suspension may harbour the propensity to be "ever so slightly bias" also?

I agree, although I think that for the entire group (mods and admin) to be guilty of this at the same time is stretching it a bit, and I don't see the personal benefit angle.

At the end of the day it comes down to Kev's earlier point, you trust us, or you don't.

From my experiance of your capabilites to moderate the forum in the time ive been here i would say i do.

Nemesis is decent bloke and i think you've got ths one wrong.

I read every single post on this place (even threads about wild mushrooms and correct ways to fold/hang t-shirts) * and i cant believe i bloody missed what happened,  If its not too much trouble could someone give me an outline of the details via PM please (im a nosey bugger).

*You know in jokeing Sark buddy.

   I know you are joking mate


It is a shame when two members who I like have a public confrontation like this.  It is sad,  make peace not war  .  Two great members should be friends.   Will we have a sing song?   I think Scottish Dave has suggested peace songs in the past

At the time I wasn't very happy but it is all water under the bridge now - I would welcome Nem back as he is a good member. I am no shrinking violet so I think it should be forgotten.

[Sark79]

Yea it is sad to see two members who I like having a quarrel like this.  We are all here for the same reason and that is to learn to be great poker players like tikay and Phil Ivey, it is sad if a disagreement gets in the way of peace on the forum.  It would be a shame if Smithy felt he couldn't post and also if Nem couldn't post.   I hate arguments, I am a bit of a nancy boy really

IT TURNS OUT SNOOP IS TO BLAME ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I answered a forum response with''The Guns are coming out, and mine are bigger than snoops'' (meaning biceps)

Nem thought I was threatening him with a AK47 hence the Pm's.

The mods dont need to be sorting things like this out to be honest - and i apologise for them having to get involved - they have more important things to do!!!

Jesus.  I was about to make a thread about the benefits of warm water on pump action water pistols ( I think the mechanism tends to work more efficiently with warmer water than cold tap water ).  I have changed my mind now just in case it is taken the wrong way

Groan.....

Do you REALLY think The Mods - me included - enjoy suspending good, solid, Members of blonde?

Did we get it wrong? Maybe, maybe not. Who'll ever know?

Most of us - The Mods I mean - were desperately sad to have to take the actions we did - but if you were in possession of the facts we were - & it's UNLIKELY you were, as we had lengthy written evidence from several parties - you'd know we had no choice. We asked the guys to cool it, several times. We said "please, no more". It continued. Several Mods wrote PM's "come on guys, give it a rest". It went on, and on, The Mods spent hours & hours & hours trying to sort it, time that could have been usefully employed on positive things. Eventually, a line has to be drawn, whether we want to or not. As I said earlier, it's possible we got it wrong. And it's possible we did not. But we acted in good faith, after trying evey method we could to get the guys to chill out. Anyone that thinks we enjoyed all that palaver is not really thinking it through.

I, along with most other blondes, miss Nem greatly. (He sent me the Allen Carr "Give Up Smoking The Easy Way" Book which was damn kind of him). He has to decide whether to Post or not in future, that's his call. I hope he does, but who knows?

People keep saying he's a good guy. We never suggested otherwise. Others "like him". So do we. What's that gotta do with it?

It's a remarkable thing though, the assumption that suspending someone temporarily is easy, or pleasant, or fun.

It's done for a reason, to keep this Forum "just so". We ain't gonna ease our stance for anyone, we want blonde to be a certain sort of place. Those that knock us can knock all day & all night. We will remain a Moderated Forum, where civility, decent manners, respect, & decent morality take precedence. There are plenty of unmoderated Fora for those that don't respect such values, or who feel unable to stay within the boundaries of behaviour we have set.

Some days I almost feel like we have to apologise for keeping this place decent. We get accused of being "nicey-wicey". Like it's some kind of sin.....!

Such is life.

Membership is free, so that allows us to set the Rules.

Goodnight all, see you tomorrow.

PS - How on earth did we get from buying lappies to this?

Point taken.  I appologize
