Fucking snowflakes.
I think I apologised as wellâŚ
Bletch is a big miss, and he ever comes back, I think heâll stay a lot longer if heâs not acting as the pap complaint line or the insta-anonymisation service for those whoâve chucked their toys out of the pram.
Seems like quite a bizarre arrangement to me. Him getting all the shit, despite not causing any.
I have that effect on people 
Is a âcob onâ like a âhard onâ but caused by you Cob?

Seems like it worked seeing as your still banging on about it months after heâs left the site.
Exactly 
Most of my posts were pointing that out the specifics⌠which is why I had so many posts on that threadâŚ
But that sums up the difference between the two of you⌠and why maybe some folks he was more approachable. Your comment is a judgemental and lazy, as if anyone who has beef with you is just a âfucking pussyâ etcâŚ
But maybe if he was overworked as a Pap compliant line, you might want to ⌠maybe⌠just ask yourself⌠what the common denominator in all that âtoy chuckingâ was?
The only thing that really fucks me off is people trying to do harm to the site, so yep. It worked. I am still not happy about it. I donât think itâll ever sit right with me.
Iâd prefer to ask why thereâs a minority of middle-aged men with no self-control, if Iâm honest.
I dont believe he was deliberately looking to harm the site, more harm you given the way the argument was going. The harm if any to the site was as the warmongers like to say âcollateral damageâ if any
See again, âno self controlâ - its antagonistic when there is no need to be. Folks have spats, they fight, sometimes it goes over the edge⌠sometimes it is more self controlled to vent in private than in public⌠which given the nature of the current discussion, i though you might acknowledge?
Also if this were strictly true, why ban Barry, why not suggest that folks who had beef with him should have more self control?
Iâm not sure youâve got the gist of that thread then. I wasnât involved in any argument. I responded to a quite ridiculous claim heâd made after arguing with others. It was only then he started his libellous personal attacks.
Still, you raise an interesting point. You may wish to consider the impact of collateral damage.
OFS, stop being so cryptic and spell it out- either accuse me of something so I can respond or give it a rest with the innuendo⌠and you wonder why folks complainedâŚ
People do have spats. They donât all lump all of their anxieties into the inbox of someone who isnât even fucking involved, especially when theyâve attained middle age.
I donât want the same mistakes made again. The vast majority of people who post here will not feel antagonised by that statement, because they wouldnât dream of doing it.
Why are you antagonised?
Seriously, you cant help it can youâŚ
I spoke to Bletch about a number of things⌠health, general stuff⌠your ego must be big if you thought it was all about youâŚ
So how many people did make dreams reality and filled you inbox about Barry?
As it goes, I donât want further hostility if we can avoid it, so let me explain the process. Whenever one of those DMs came in, Iâd get the gist of who was upset and why. Nowt to do with ego and doesnât preclude other subjects of conversation.
Moving forward, can I ask if anyone does have a problem with each other, they talk to each other first? Youâll probably find that people are much less of a twat than you think, 9 times out of 10 theyâll instantly accommodate it, problem solved, no drama.
On that note, if anyoneâs got an issue with me moving forward, just speak to me. Even if you call me a cunt, Iâd much rather have that than some of the unpleasant alternatives.
During this recent batch? No-one. Itâs as transparent as it gets.
Concerns were articulated on site by people. The only reason I found out Goatboy was ignoring him was because it implied extra moderation duties for myself and @BTripz.
A specific issue was quite clearly identified, that Barry was infesting many threads with his agendas. It was never corrected, so when I enforced that, he just did the same in the places he could still post.
I did receive outright âme-or-himâ rrequests from specific individuals a couple of years ago.
On a conciliatory note⌠fair enough, but sometimes its often better to vent a bit of spleen with someone who is neutral, and as a result not emotionally connected, before attempting to âsort it outâ. Bletch was a calming influence and all round decent bloke, so why not seek out his advice and thoughts etc? Surely a wiser coarse of action than just going on with the circular spats?
Would add, he probably prevented many a flounce and your inbox being all of messages calling you a cunt
Fucking hell boys, this is really boring. Take it to the beef thread.
