dilligaf Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 I started this thread out of concern for a "long serving" forumite, who happens to be a very decent, intelligent and caring person. The thread has now, after a couple of pages of similar interest, turned into a stupid slanging match, which is EXACTLY what has hastened the demise of posters such as LONAN3. You couldn't make it up (as they say) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sick Moon Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm not interested in wasting my time, you provoke reactions on a daily basis and you know it. I consider 'banter' to be winding up/joking with friends/people you know. Yes, well you shouldn't waste everyone else's time coming out with sweeping, vacuous statements that you know to be untrue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jefferson Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) As I said maybe you just have a complete blind side to the fact that maybe you are a dick and a lot of what you post is crap. And your posts are not crap? . And then there's the conspiracy and persecution complex about the 'establishment' bullying you and harassing you in real life and online. Oh yes, because in all the world, nobody has ever really been harassed, bullied, stalked, had their phones bugged, or even been assassinated by groups of people with an agenda. It must automatically be paranoia, musn't it? Something like that could never happen on a small island like this, could it?

You couldn't make it up (as they say) Wasn't my intention, but after seeing Lonan3's post edited it just hit a nerve and I apologise for that. I have formed the same opinion as you as to why Lonan3 left, but didn't want to put words in his mouth seeing as he's no longer here to defend or confirm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder sometimes though, just how many of the "old" posters that have left, have actually left and not just changed there user name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jefferson Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Can a moderator just delete everything in this thread posted in the last 24 hours? I don't like it. Because it makes you look like a dick? The only dick here is you, calling someone nasty names while claiming to know them offline, yet refusing to disclose your own identity. What a coward and a low life. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxman1980 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I know where Lonan3 and a few others who have commented on this thread are coming from. There is now very little open discussion on these forums and they are becoming increasingly dominated by a "vocal" few. As a result I myself have been posting less and choosing not to get involved in petty squabbles (although there are times I cannot resist poking the hornets nest). The ill-informed description is becoming increasingly more fitting I am afraid. There is very little real discussion with most threads bring derailed or ending up in a slanging match. It really is becoming very petty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just lock it after Lonan3's post would have been better, its a thread about him after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
