Kitz and B*Cat ...... thank you both very much for your postings. It is because of them, (especially Kitz's, in her role as site owner), that I've sat and thought about this particular situation. Other issues aside, I enjoy this site immensley. I have said so publicly, as well as on here, and also in a PM to Kitz a few months ago.
Of all the DG's/Forums around, this really is the most interesting and informative around. I was 'hooked' on DSL Zone for ages, (until it unfortunately fell into a state of dis-repair), and there was a very similar informative vein running through it.
The moderation on that particular board, and many others, wasn't/isn't as 'hard-liner' as how
I feel it can sometimes be on here. Having said that, it obviously works well for this site as the proof is in the pudding. I can see that Eric keeps a tidy house on behalf of Kitz, and full credit where it's due, but making comments to me about "Personal attacks", and what I still see to be a condescending remark when he locked the other topic off, comes across to me as, 'Dont mess with my gang' type antics. I really do take issue with the phrasing, "Personal attacks", when all it was was a mis-construed attempt at humour. I hear what you're saying though Kitz, and would also hope it was a way of "keeping the peace".
Scottiesmum, I appreciate your feedback and if you felt my comments were "Disparaging", then you of course have an absolute right to question them within that particular thread. Hence my follow up response to you of, "Lame", which was a genuine attempt at sarcastic humour. I know they say it's the lowest form of wit, but wit nonetheless. If you interpreted it as malice, I urge you to read it again as if Jimmy Carr was writing it. I assure you, there was nothing but banter intended, which is why I have taken umbrage about the wording "Personal attacks".
Uncle UB ..... cheers mate. You remind me of an old mate in my local who I regularly cross swords with, whenever something is being debated over a pint. An hour after the clash thoughts, all returns to normal and life cracks on. You sum it up well Unc.
Well, thats my 'State of the nation' address, and apologies for boring the pants off of you, just needed to put my side forward. There's a lot of immensley clever people on this site, do any of you have a time-machine that will take me back a couple of days ??
All through typing this, I've been wondering what your 'Human name' is B*Cat ?? I always picture you as a big cat with a Samurai sword in your hand. Seriously, you're human
