Yes, I post to myself. And I'm a woman.

Any other ridiculous remarks you'd care to make tonight, Mike?

Gezz Cheyne, it's about time you realised not every post is directed at you, grow up! Your inane chatter is beginning to piiss me off. Then again, so has the migraine I've had for the last several days....

Well actually, this one WAS directed at us, and Angus even said that. Didn't you read the whole thread? Guess not.

Don't take your bad moods on out me mate. If someone says something that I don't agree with, or I would like some form of clarification on, I asked for it, just as Angus "calls people out" on comments they make.

Got a problem with that? PM me.

Which bit of

quite honestly I can't be bothered trawling through old threads

Would you like clarified?

OK I get the impression you seem to think my thought process works as follows

1. Think of something provocative I can invent to say
2. Cross fingers and hope someone doesn't ask for an actual example cos I really made it up
3. The fact I can't be bothered looking for an example obviously proves the fantasy

Whereas a quick insight into my thought process gives

1. I recall having seen something that bugged me at the time
2. Think about it
3. Decide to post about it
4. Because I can't recall the thread(s) and can't be bothered going looking does not mean stages 1 - 3 never happened
5. The fact I didn't name anyone means that I don't have to defend myself unless someone has a guilty conscience
6. If that is the case it proves itself without an example

In actual fact I haven't said who that one was directed at and because as I have already said I can't be bothered ferreting around for examples then it will just have to be considered as a concept given that noone has been named

No, but you're baiting it for those of us who do know who you were directing your comments at.

Honestly Angus, stop blowing your bagpipe, and if you've wasted precious brain power to think about something that's bothered you on here, then you may as well actually try to provide some examples of what you don't like that is happening.

All this over a bloody eskimo!

See above. You confirmed that you were referring to Gav's post.

Anyway, I don't want to talk to myself anymore.

[Albator]

Oh for god's say Would you and Gav like to sit down and communicate outside the forum so you can get things straight and be talking about the same thing at the same time -

sorry I forget you don't do that

Yes - I confirmed that one of the occasions of Masked Nepotism - point 2 for those having problems - was you and Gav after you raised the redrock post and I was under the impression that had already been gone over.

However you are far from the only ones I and others have seen doing this as someone mentioned on the first page I think

However you are the only ones who have been named - by yourselves - because you jumped up and down and got me to confirm it - in the meantime the others who were guilty of it have maintained complete anonymity by keeping their traps shut - you couldn't and had to come out of the closet

Other members have told me of other instances that I was totally unaware of - no not by you guys - and I am sure there are others but even without naming names a discussion was possible and a consensus reached that the nepotism posts were wrong

It could also have happened with noone or at least very few people being the wiser that you lot were guilty of it either

Only your posts brought that out not mine

Point 1 was covered too and no you weren't one of the ones I was referring to but I thought that had been made clear


POINT 3 - which no I have never given ANY inference about which person(s) I was alluding to, seems to be scratching under your skin so I don't know if you have a guilty conscience or not but you seem pretty paranoid

I will continue to repeat that I did not name anyone here because although I know exactly who they were I cannot remember the Categorys or Threads it happened in.

And that's right I refuse to go looking for them. And this is exactly why I have not named anyone in relation to it because I am avoiding naming people without the links to back it up

You have also missed the whole point of this thread

It was not to have a go at individuals for individual posts it was to get some discussion about 3 styles of marketeering tactics which I have seem members bring into the forum with them

This is exactly why I did not name anyone - you are the people who are trying to make it personal

Cheers
Angus

[Choppy]

I like to throw in my 2cents.

Though i cant as i have been out bidded.

So once upon a time some people posted some threads that others did not agree on and decided to create a thread that some others did not agree on.

In the meantime turning somethings into an argument some trolling some general BS chatter.

Some G Sarcasem, Some A Sarcasem C (Sounds like S)Sarcasem and of course H sarcasem all comes down to one thing..

G.A.S.H that rhymes with C.A.S.H which is what the rest of us making while you guys keep BS around in forums and taking things to heart.

Dont like the way someone does business.. Do it yourself better and make all the G.A.S.H

Only as a p!ss fart of course ^^

EDIT: I think the reason people take things so personally is because they know EXACTLY who you do not like which is ones weakness.

[Swish]

I'll throw in my 2cents as well ...

blah!

Comments like that cost 3 cents...your bid has been revoked!

....

....

Now, back to Angus...

I can see what Angus is saying and everyone has a right to their own opinion. Sure, I don't agree with some of the things, and others I do, but in the end....ITS A DISCUSSION!

I'm not defending Angus with this, no, but what I am defending is the fact that this thread now seems to be a little...hypocritical...and even that is not the right word for it.

The whole idea is that we talk about things as a community...isnt it?

And isn't that exactly what Angus is doing? Sure, his posts may come across as a little "demanding" (maybe), but that's just Angus....anyone whos been around here long enough knows Angus and his posts.

This is no way an attack on you Angus. What it is, is the fact that now this is turning into a fight and less of a discussion.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but that is how I am seeing it right now.

Cheers,

Dale

So we're not allowed to have individual conversations in the same thread now? That's a little different from your original "complaint" that people talk to each other.

I haven't directly addressed Gav once yet in this thread. He is asking questions that he has, I have asked questions that I have.

However you are the only ones who have been named - by yourselves - because you jumped up and down and got me to confirm it - in the meantime the others who were guilty of it have maintained complete anonymity by keeping their traps shut - you couldn't and had to come out of the closet

Wait a second Angus. I didn't 'jump up and down' to get you to say anything. I said that if you WERE accusing me of doing anything you believe is not right, then you should tell me because I don't believe that I had done any anything like what you said. And if it wasn't me, the people who are doing it probably don't know they are doing it, and that you should provide examples to back up your wild accusations.

So far you've come with d!ck all, and have been left red faced in front of your piers because you "cant be bothered" finding these examples.

which no I have never given ANY inference about which person(s) I was alluding to, seems to be scratching under your skin so I don't know if you have a guilty conscience or not but you seem pretty paranoid

Then stop alluding to things. It doesn't help your cause to come out with this big public whinge and then "allude" to people. You're just taking pot shots in the dark.

NEWSFLASH: You're not a moderator here Angus. You don't make the rules. You don't tell people what they can, can't, should or shouldn't be doing.

If you don't like what someone has done or said, then change that thought process of yours to be:

1. Send them a private message.
2. If we can't agree, contact a moderator to see if they are breaking any of the forum rules.
3. If they're not, get over it and move on with more important things like running your business.

I don't have a problem with anyone raising issues for public discussion, but at the very least back up your statements in the original post with cold hard facts and not baseless broad sweeping statements that are designed to make you look like a Messiah when I can assure you you're not.

[Ozzie]

Yep I agree with Dale

IMHO Angus raised some valid points which he opened up for some constructive discussion amongst all community members, but instead, as usual Cheyne has jumped in and taken Angus's comments as a personal attack. Honestly Cheyne isn't it time you HTFU and stopped thinking every comment by Angus is directed at you! So yes Dale, it has become more of a sh!t fight than a discussion.

I never took it as a personal attack at all, and if you actually read everything that has been said here, one of the points had to do with a thread that involved Gav and Myself.

So yes, in part it WAS about me (us) and so I responded accordingly.

But for the parts that are not about me, I would still expect to see some form of evidence supplied as to who is doing it (if anybody) and why Angus feels that it's a bad thing that they are doing it.

You can't go and make blanket statements like that without having something to back you up.

Now, if you have anything you wish to contribute to this DISCUSSION (ie. not about me, and something that's actually on topic) then by all means throw your hat in to the ring Ros.
