ROBBIES BETRAYAL OF OUR TRUST. PLEASE READ.

[loulou]

In light of the recent comments posted by Robbie and the private messages sent to some of the long serving members being posted I believe it is now time to put things into perspective.
We have all been close friends for many years (long may it continue). We have reacted with our emotions in the heat of the moment to some of the closest people within our own personal lives, so to find reactions within personal messages on this forum should come to no surprise to anybody. After all we are all human (except Robbie).
All forums no matter what their nature are a podium for opinions and on many occasions we may not agree with them. We will in many cases react with emotion
and make comments to other people on this forum that we feel we can trust.
For somebody to have the knowledge to betray us all is unforgivable. This is a social venue which has given myself personally great laughter and enjoyment for many years and I hope that all members have the maturity to continue as we are and rise above this childish prank.
To keep things into perspective the alleged comments claim to have been made within private messages are also capable of being edited to cause maximum disruption and offence to certain members as they have not always agreed with Robbies points of view.
Robbie you have done your worst but I believe it has all been in vain as we will continue on regardless.

I dunno if I can talk to any of you again. Not one of you said anything about me except Robbie, curse him bless him.
At the very least you could have called me a sh1t.

[loulou]

I call you all the time if it makes you feel good.

[paulham]

Ooooh, that's nice. Have you got a pair of tall stilettos that you could wear and stand on me with calling me an insignificant little turd?
Bounty's just ran to the toilet at this point and is knocking seven shades of sh1t out of it!

Thanks for posting this thread Lou. I would like to add that i have the greatest respect for everyone one of the regular posters on the forum and I have not changed my opinion of a single person as a result of robbie's betrayal. Well, that's not quite true. I used to think robbie was just a stupid prick but now I think he's total shit bag.

I value very much the support I have received from members over the years during difficult times and I know that, through the exchange of private messages during difficult times, we have all been of help to each other at various times.

We also, it's true, indulge in a little good natured teasing but I think everyone knows where to draw the line.  Everyone, that is, except robbie.  He hasn't shocked me with his disclosures, he hasn't made me think any less of anyone (except him), in fact he has made me realise how much I value my cyber friends - so thanks for that robbie.

Yes cheers Robbie. Unfortunately the soft spot I had for you is no longer.

This and many other internet forums have private message functions for the very reason the name suggests - that sometimes things are best said in private.

A couple of years back there was a period when things got quite nasty on this forum because of the behaviour of some now ex-members. I'd also be the first to admit that I didn't exactly cover myself in glory with my response to the said behaviour. My point is that if every time someone felt a minor irritation about something another member said or did they felt obliged to start an argument about it, we could end up with an atmosphere like that all the time. If on the other hand a member decides to have a quiet moan to get something off their chest, after which they feel better, and the irritation is later forgotten, surely that's better for the forum (not to mention everyone's sanity!)?

Robbie thinks Lou and I are 'unfit' to moderate the forum because of things we have said in private. Personally I think hacking into private messages and revealing the contents publicly in a deliberate attempt to cause trouble is far worse.

Well said Smurfy.

Fear not Paulham, my new signature was chosen in your honour!  And by the way Lou, I like yours - who on earth called you that?

[wjp666]

so hopefully this means he's had his account suspended again, right?

[smurfboy]

Yes. He's tried to re-register but disappeared again after one post, so I'm assuming Chocadmin has got rid of that ID too.

[wjp666]

that's good to hear. i wont be missing the idiot.

[paulham]

Why? Are you in the National Rifle Association?
