Elfin, don't talk about rude when TJ is so ready to insult, ok?
Where has he resorted to personal insults then?
Simple fact is, that TJ has asked for an end to a thread which invariably descends into stupid behaviour, yet others have missed the real point he was making and instead used it as an excuse to attack someone who's challenged their own views, without actually responding in a particularly intelligent way. Marvellous.
There's bin several posts removed from this thread as it is, and there are still one or two pathetic comments, so TJ's bin proveded right. In fact this has probably bin the least 'offensive' A+A thread ever. And I dare say a few will think twice before they post stuff in future. So a full-on TJ win of epic proportions.
Good work TJ.
As for people suggesting TJ is 'imposing his will on others'; what, and by claiming your own views are more valid than his, you're not doing the same? Love it.
If TJ is the 'Forum Police', does that make some of you the 'Forum Police Police'?
People have different views. Fact of life. Some people have the bottle to express them even though they know they will be met with outrage. Many of those slagging off TJ wouldn't have the guts to express their own views, unless they knew others would back them up. Pft. In fact I think are some are jealous of TJ's ability to do something they can't. I'm right and you know it.
Logan's Run's a pretty good film, I have to say.
Kevevs; I'm just nipping down the offie. What crisps you want? I don't think they've got beef flavour at the mo.

Ooh. Sounds like a challenge to me.

Yeah, especially the bit where... Oops. Don't want to get banned.

Where has he resorted to personal insults then?
He is too quick to call anyone who doesn't agree with his point of view stupid, the line about reading what he writes again is a bit of a insult to the readers intelligence and I had reason to point out that he had insulted me directly three times last week.
Equally the tags are quite insulting, however there is nothing to say that TJ is responsible for this.Simple fact is, that TJ has asked for an end to a thread which invariably descends into stupid behaviour
He has in a repeated way disrupted and sabotaged (his word) a perfectly acceptable thread. It is the mods job to moderate not TJs. Even TJ changes his argument, from a dislike of the images to a dislike of the comments while accepting the images, and I'm the one who needs to read the threads again.
so TJ's bin proveded right.
How's that? He's antagonistic in his approach and completely inflexible and totally unable to listen, really listen, to others. He would drive a saint to lose their temper. The A&A thread lives on and his personal point of view has been shown to be in the minority. If anything he has lost in that any sympathy to his point of view has been completely lost now because of his attitude.
He has gone way down in my estimations as a positive influence on the forum.Posted 1 year ago # -
That I should be dragged into this....
First of all, just like Friday Kylie, the weekly A & A thread was dying on its feet until last week when emzs decided to comment on it and TJ jumped in with both feet. The vast majority of forum users have obviously got bored with it. By raising its profile these past two weeks, emsz and TJ have ensured that it will continue to grumble on for some time - even if it's just out of spite.
TJ did the right thing by starting a thread to give voice to those who didn't like the A & A thread. However, it is obvious from the responses that he is very much in a minority. Time then to drop it and move on.
To the ladies who are offended it by it - whether you continue to frequent the forum or not - how on earth do you cope in your normal day-to-day life when images and sexual innuendo are much more prevalent than they are on STW?
For the crusaders - emsz, TJ, Elfinsafety etc - Is this really the best use of your time? If you feel so strongly about this, why aren't you picketing WH Smith, or attempting to get the law changed to have it all banned? Nah - it's much easier to sit behind your monitor and bang out a few words here, thereby salving your conscience.
As for TJ - I'm afraid that this behaviour is all so horribly familiar. Away from STW, I think TJ is a top bloke. Great sense of humour, intelligent, articulate. I'm proud to be able to think of him as a friend. Put him at a keyboard however and his forum behaviour is atrocious. We used to see this on another forum, where TJ would celebrate his "different-ness" (his signature was marching to the beat of a different drum) by starting and participating in threads where he would make ludicrous claims, be hurt when folk didn't "understand" him and would then come out at the end with "sheesh you guys, I was just jesting all along". This is still known as The TJ Defence. Folk there got so fed up of him that eventually he was bullied off/left.

Probbly not really, no.
I'm watching CSI now.
I bought a big bayg of Wotsits and some Haribo Tangfastics.

Well he's gone up in mine. There you go.

it's the views of the mods that are gospel. if your own views fall into line with them there isn't a problem.
it's only when people think they know better that everyone gets in a tizz about what's posted on forum about bikes and stuff.Posted 1 year ago # -

Accepting that people have different views without having a hissy fit?

Rudeboy, when are you (and Barnsleymitch) coming back to Mlehworld?

Nice one Druidh
I'm giggling that this is still going on and find it even more amusing that Elf (a man who singlehandedly, in his several previous guises, has probably caused more departures from the forum than anyone else) consistently leaps to the defence of TJ at every opportunity, on this and other threads........
......it's nice that he has a <Inbetweeners voice on> friend!

This has been proved time and time again when anyone expresses a more "spiritual" side to their nature.
I personally think he's an OK guy however he does seem incapable of accepting that a view that is the polar opposite of his is valid. Bit intolerant I suppose.

I do think it's nice to help make people laugh. Glad to bring some joy to your life, Woody.

We (mods) have been debating the merits or otherwise of moderation of 'characters' who show a pattern of just taking an opposing or contrary view in a forum debate in order to a) keep themselves in the limelight so to speak or b) to just inflame the situation. Either way in my view it comes under the remit of the negative use of the forum and certain characters in this debate should think carefully about what they are adding to the overall community of the forum.
If you feel this is a threat against you personally then it most likely is.

Good.

May we just stick to photos instead of the continuous flow of verbal diarrhoea?
Mark, keep an eye, do your best to keep the thread going.
TJ, would you go and ride a bike instead of acting like a little Stalin?
Druidh, where do I sign in support of your post?

I can't be bothered. I'm just judging and pointing fingers from afar.. Roll on spring!

how on earth do you cope in your normal day-to-day life when images and sexual innuendo are much more prevalent than they are on STW?
I dont really experience the A & A attitude towards women anywhere except on here. Not at work nor with my mates ..no one i know openly "leers". I think we all accept the mods /owners are ok with it by now though and I shall continue to disaprove and not open the threads/contribute as usual just like with car ones.That said good post
If you feel this is a threat against you personally then it most likely is.

the thought police have spoken

Have to disagree with you there GW - I thought it was a very fair and open statement. The fact that Mark et al have taken the trouble to explain and account for their decisions when they are under no obligation to do so speaks volumes.

+1 Woody. I thought it was so good I
bought the companystarted a thread about it...Posted 1 year ago # -
what do you mean thought police it is his house and if he does not like what you say he can ask you to leave. They go to a fair length to explain things on here and I suspect he has much better things to be doing on a Sunday than explaining some rules to some fools on a forum.
Were you just making sure you are on the list?Posted 1 year ago # -
can you imagine it though? no typing random bollox that is quite interesting actuallly?. I suppose I'll move on and not care..

I basiacly agree with druidhs post. When he has something to say its generally worth listening to.
however this I refutes strongly
ludicrous claims, be hurt when folk didn't "understand" him and would then come out at the end with "sheesh you guys, I was just jesting all along". This is still known as The TJ Defence.
There were times when I provoked rows in jest, there were times when I got cross at folks reactions when I was being serious and I accept folk did not always know which was which. However I never did that what druidh claims. I know this will not be believed. I wa accused of doing this but I never did.

But you can understand why it was believed to be the case? If you subtialy troll some of the time, how do you excpect people to know when you're not? The same with a titty lip, real or made up.
