When I returned I posted an opinion, nice and polite like, and was roundly abused by a certain member, to the point he was warned and his posts deleted...
He is now wearing a green badge on there and still abusing members openly, this time with noone to reign him in with his new found power.
Just for the record, as I couldnt post publicly on the thread due to lockage, Thomas1983 seems to be a damn good egg who has been thrown in at the deep end, but is learning and behaving like a gentleman when he makes a mistake.

think we know who the abuser is!!! he seems to be on a powertrip!!!!
just out of intrest what was the problem that you spoke to the directors about??? i wonder if it's the same problem as now??

It was about more openness about the massive hike in subs and where it was to be spent, plans for it and the future and whether members were to be allowed to see the books and be a part of the decisions as it were, with being involved in a true Owners Club at Exec Committie level it was something that interested me. I was told, to paraphrase slightly, that it wasnt run as an owners Club as I understand one to be it, but a Ltd Co and they had no need to divulge this information to anyone. After a few more questions, one Director go quite snippy, and so the other one turned up to try and explain things a bit better. It all left a bad taste TBH.

It is patently obvious that your grasp of the situation you find yourself in regarding the owners club forum is not at all what you think it is, your allegations are akin to those of a drowning man flailing around in the dark in an attempt to find something solid to grasp onto. You have in this instance failed abysmally.
If you wish to post on this forum again you will first have to ask my permission and I will require a copy of your intended post beforehand.

OOOH! i did like that

Is he not well? I had not heard anything and he did not mention anything....still, there are two directors I believe.

Further to the question about Pete being sick in above,
he isn't it was Family problems with illness etc that was stated in the post for his absence.

I think what the new thread started asking for things to be sorted with solutions, on the Club site, has the problem that with the two Directors left (there was four)
they have little time to spare and won't delegate work, allow others to do it when they offer or pay someone to get everything up to date and running as should,
until that problem is overcome the promises which people are moaning about being broken will continue to be broken.
Hopefully soon all will return to normal.

See, i disagree with that last line Mick. I dislike censorship on forums at the best of times, by all means Bots and advertising spam posts should be removed along with really nasty stuff, but he has a point to put across, it may be wrong, but the discussion should be allowed if it can be kept without going deeply insulting and personal to participants and other members. After all, censorship and lack of freedom is an accusation that many have leveled at the other forum too...
Let them dig their own hole, and enjoy the freedom (Please dont ban me)

Banning of a member is always a last resort and the person will have normally received a warning/s and will receive a Email informing them of why and for how long.
I state normally purely because I haven't had to look into it yet on this Community.

As you will notice our little troll has been left to post.

Enough is enough. I'm getting giddy moving from one to the other

Hello pointy, got any bargains for us? Does somebody do your writing for you during the day?

BTW you were robbed on the price of your wipers. £1.50 each at Tescos.

what bargains do you want

the_doctor wrote:what bargains do you want

A cheap laptop perhaps?

Why are we all talking about the other site? This is a new site and a new begining, Yes the common interest is still there and most of the "faces" are the same but if everyone is going to keep harping back to old times, old ways etc then we might just as well be airing our views over there where they belong.

I cannot believe that mature and mostly middle aged men are acting in this way, a way that belongs in the teenage girls locker room at school. For gods sake, half the world is at war, children with no interest in anything else but hanging on to life are dying, youths are killing each other over territoty in cities and we are sending poison pen letters to each other when lets face it all we have in common is a heap of metal that can be done without in a blink.

I am 57years of age and the years are numbered, I have aches and pains in ever part of my body and all I want out of life now is the basics of a smile, laugh and human contact with my fellow man before the lid is screwed down.

What the hell is this chidish bickering achieving may I ask?

Now that pulled me up short. A very valid point

Fair point. To be continued on the other side?
