[Closed] in what circumstances would TJ et al be re-admitted?

Can someone please pop a circle jerk tag up top. Cheers.

Nope, I can't help summarise at all.

He was very wrong about compression damping though.

[quote=bigG ]I've been on holiday for two weeks, can someone summarise anything useful from the last seven pages please? Or is it the usual handwringing without any real point?

It's boring here without the arguments
No it isn't
Yes it is
Free the persecuted
They were all right really
Never hurt anybody
it's all a massive conspiracy
No it's not
Yes it is
It's boring in here

I thought TJ was a genuine helpful guy who was positive overall on here. He had some strong views which were easy to avoid if you didn't fancy arguing for days, just don't click on the thread.

Fred was just a tragic pathetic bellend though really, although looking at STW argue it would appear his online persona is the result of some mental deficiency. Apparently he's a really great guy in real life though!!

It's a lot better now threads don't get hijacked and derailed into 2 or 3 people arguing that black is white vs white is black

Yeah, that never happens any more 😕

Yes it does.

I think to be fair, it happens less. But then I reckon that's largely because we have less interesting threads- nobody bothers to derail or otherwise fill boring threads with pish.

Incidentally,

The mods certainly like to join in, or even start debates here. After what happened to TJ it makes one think twice before engaging with them now.

I'm not sure if I'm reading too much into this, but it seems to imply "argue with a mod and you'll get banned." If that's what you're getting at then I'm a little sad that you think this because I genuinely don't believe it's the case. I'm a forum user who also happens to be a mod, not a mod who also happens to be a user. I'm not aware of anyone ever abusing power to win an argument (except when it's funny).

The vast, vast majority of my posts are voiced as a user and I do try to label posts clearly when I'm speaking in a moderatorial capacity.

I genuinely don't believe it's the case.

I am not sure how or what they expect to "win" with that approach tbh

Cougar's cool.
Drac's a little icy?
Mark's never turned his gaze in my direction 🙂

I think you get grief because you are open moderators tbh and some folk seem to want to score points off you

Do they? They're not very good griefers then, I hadn't noticed. (-:

You should see them on a Saturday evening..

All three on my front lawn, drunk and teary, bickering over which one of them they think I love the most..
Quite tragic really.. like three needy schoolgirls.. They even started pulling each other's hair and suchlike the other week, until my neighbour came out and chucked a bucket of water over them..

They even started pulling each other's hair

Strange, I'd only expect that kind of thing from one of them.

One or 2 have tried yes but it's so dull and tedious it gets ignored.

The mods certainly like to join in, or even start debates here. After what happened to TJ it makes one think twice before engaging with them now.

That's not really going to happen as although I will at times get involved with a debate I'll wander off before the pointless bitching starts.

Far as I know, and I could be wrong, Mark doesn't have enough to pull. On his head, anyroad.

No you won't.

I mod a couple of forums and I've had some right nutters... They don't bother me though, because they're just tossers on the internet, but then this tolerance of tossers on the internet may be what makes me such a terrible mod.

He's not he only one. 🙁

No you won't.

Goodnight.

I think you may just have come up with a new collective noun

Goodnight.

I see what you did there.

Northwind » tolerance of tossers

A [i]tedium of tossers[/i] would be more apt

I think it would be rude to let this thread slip away without a few words of wisdom from MC Pitman

A tedium of tossers=10 tolerances of tossers

nobody bothers to derail or otherwise fill boring threads with pish.

I have been slack I know
