I have nothing against you man, but you did mention somewhere this forum is cliquish, childish etc.
So what are you doing here??
I haven't seen anything interesting from you.
You posted 706 posts so far, it looks to me 700 of those are about RH's personality and past history in the other forum.
Maybe you should think that people in this forum have the ability to judge RH based on what he contributes HERE instead?
@RH, LR and Paphitis.
I personally got sick and tired hearing the same story over and over again.
I've been following your discussions with Erolz.Sotos, et al, re moderation on the forum. TBH, and understandably I think, I'd assumed that there wasn't any. Your post is the first I've seen in over 2 years that sounds like it's from a Mod. The line about Admin wandering around with changing names was interesting and a bit intimidating.
I'm still not really sure what the actual rules consist of. Although there certainly are quite clear published ones.
In your case though I think I have figured it out. You're Steve! And I claim my €10 prize.
I'm impressed by the fact that you've read all of my 700 posts and won't argue about your conclusion. Well, much. The forum
is a bit cliquish, particularly if you're an Auslander (I coulda chosen a better name, that's for sure) but I don't recall every saying it was childish. Despite the fact that some discussions have tended to descend to the level where short trousers, frayed school ties and your best champion conker wouldn't have been out of place. I have seen you say that it can be childish recently, too.
Yes, people will make their own judgement about RH. I don't know if it's really the case but a couple have indicated that Tim Drayton left (a sad loss, I'm sure most would agree) due to arguments with him. True, or not? Also, I've seen S.T.U.D. , after a protracted and heated discussion, announce that he wanted no further discourse with him. CBBB said a while back that RH's entering a thread tended to mark its death knell. These are others judging, not me. And, despite the PR campaign, I'm not some sort of evil Svengali with a malign influence over Paphitis. He speaks for himself and has been arguing with RH and others since long before my appearance. It does appear to have been the case that when Paphitis isn't around RH tends to be blind broadcasting to himself, mostly. So, giving Paphitis so much stick seems a bit masochistic.
I've always been willing to post and like to think I might have some valid views. So far though they've mainly tended to be greeted with being shouted down. Although, apparently, I'm the bully.
GR. You're clearly not ill. I want my Get Well present back. The big brown box, containing a Claymore mine. You opened it?? Hello................. hello!
