paswt 3,434 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Fair enough , perhaps I'm a bit old fashioned but believe there is no shame in "holding your hand up " and admitting when you are wrong . TJ regularly has taken stick on this site in the past but he/she did have the good manners to retract a post and apologise to me for a false accusation , rather than play the sympathy /victim card or refuse to accept they cannot be wrong ,like a few on this site ..........sadly. 6 minutes ago, Swordfish said: I’m not asking him to.

I doubt you will contact me - as I still believe this all about raking up someone’s past....

pongo 4,930 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) It seems to me, reading this thread from the beginning, that Swordfish’s entire purpose was to bring up the ancient case of Rob Callister’s land dispute with his own neighbour. Beginning with a link to past judgements and then mentioning the case specifically. And as an added bonus he even got to engage with JW. I’m no fan of the Onchan MHK but I believe that he is right to call out Swordfish for trolling. And in this case the troll seemed to win - and even managed to pose as rising above it all and bank a few likes. I don’t believe that Swordfish has a land dispute at all. TV / movie actor avatar and a username based on an obscure TV series or movie. We’ve never seen that anywhere before right? Thank goodness the new registration system is working so well. Right?

(Swordfish is a movie about cyberspace and security checks etc) It seems to be awfully complicated posting on here. What are the rules as i did a sweep yesterday and it would seem that everyone who posts anything that might look unfavorable against Rob Callister gets criticized and then often banned. Is he one of the mods on this Forum? I’d just like to know what the ground rules are as clearly I have inadvertently stumbled down some strange rabbit hole very early on with this thread. Am I supposed to apologise to Callister for the fact that he attacked me and then made a series of aggressive and unjustified posts in reponse to the links that I found in Turrican iI’s post? I have no idea who Turrican II is either just to be clear and they posted the original link not me. For reference Swordfish is a favorite film of mine. Can I ask is there also some sort of law about what name/avatar to use as well as rules here do seem to be awfully complex? My real name is clear to the Mods from my email address so can be verified. Thank you to John Wright for answering my post in the way I was asking for assistance. All I was looking for was some pointers before I burned even more of my cash on lawyers fees.

The Observer 5 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I wouldn’t worry about it Sword Fish; you will learn very quickly that every time that name is mentioned on here the forum goes into a total meltdown quite quickly afterwards. It’s comical really. You found some true information that lots of people were already aware of. The Judges summary in throwing the claim out is actually quite enlightening if you have half an hour spare. Indeed it might explain some of the anger being misdirected at you above. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Swordfish is a movie about cyberspace and security checks etc) Now that's an opinion but forgive me for thinking that you may be a fan of the Onchan MP. I have no reason to disbelieve that "Swordfish" has a land dispute with a neighbour but we are all entitled to an opinion . Land disputes are , in my experience, relatively common, sometimes based on a genuine misunderstanding others not so. What is apparently not in dispute is that Rob was involved in a land dispute , which is a matter of public record ,and would appear to be a bit miffed that it has been brought to the attention of folk on this site presumably because it may not display him in a good light (TBH I haven't read the entire relevant document ). Given he is an MHK some may feel it relevant, to form an opinion on the man, and to be aware of his past and present history , in order to determine if they think him a suitable candidate to vote for in the future. As previously posted Rob is not my MHK and my comments are not a personal attack him , TBH I am of the opinion that we are all motivated by self interest and politicians in general are up there in the top percentage. If the basis for calling 'Swordfish' a troll is based on his username then perhaps the name "Pongo" reminds me of a hapless character in a Jeaves story , and a name given to an unfortunate child at my school who had some personal hygiene problems . .........

(Swordfish is a movie about cyberspace and security checks etc) Why, how? Surely a wild assumption. Swordfish mentioned a land dispute and no mention of Rob C. I am happy to accept that Rob C made an innocent error in thinking that Swordfish was Rob C's neighbour but how would Swordfish know that Rob C would make this assumption and that someone else would provide a court listing that included Rob C's earlier dispute? This is either a storm in a teacup or a very contrived conspiracy. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
