There we have it, several forum heavyweights have spoken in favour of TJ.
THREAD CLOSED.
Yep, you got the last word.
i do actually agree with TJ in pretty much 99.9% of what he says (apart from one comment about stopping distance down a hill which he said he'd go away and prove, but forgot i'm guessing). i've (as has Yeti etc) made that clear to him on other threads when people have started being nasty.
in the same way i call Old Man B'Mitch old, elfinsafety - elfin, uncle TJ is a term of affection 🙂
people i dont like i ignore.
elfin you are correct, it is a TJ win in many ways... i hope he's not too sleepy to realise
Binners isn't being 'nice'. Binners is taking the P. Binners is out of order.
Six of one and half a dozen of the other.
Elf, this just goes to show how posts can have different effects on different people. I personally can't stand TJ as he appears on this forum. I'll admit people will be different in real life (Hora is actually a great guy who I've met) but if you only have their forum posts then you can't assume they are any different.
Pow Pow, I'm going to be a forum heavy weight for the day.
Doling out some whoop-ass with my intellectual debating skillz.
Phil you up for a tag-team?
Six of one and half a dozen of the other
No it's not, Peter. TJ doesn't resort to pettiness like this. He gets his point of view across without resorting to such personal attack.
I think Binners should go away and have a good think about what he's done, then when he's done that, he should come back and apologise to TJ for being mean and nasty. TJ also has the right to give Binners a Chinese Burn.
ooOOoo - Member
Yep, you got the last word.
😎
FWIW TJ and I wind each other right up on here, I CBA deciding if I'm for or against him on this point, but he seems to be the most prolific arguer on here.
I guess my point is that it's [b]ONLY A STORM IN THE INTERNET TEA-CUP AND PEOPLE ESPECIALLY TJ SHOULD TAKE THIS KIND OF THING ALOT LESS SERIOUSLY. [/b]
Rudeboy you try too hard it doesn't suit you sir
Maybe binners should sit in the corner with a pointy hat on
I've already found myself agreeing with two of TJ's statements this year, if it was to happen a third time it might be me ending up blubbering in the corner 😉
hmmm email me yeti for my *dun dun dunnnnn!* real name. we'll use facebook chat to chose which threads need policing and [s]spit-roast[/s]double-team them with humorous pictures of cats.
cynic-al - shush, with all those CAPS you'll wake him up.
I like when he said "nightly night"
You just can't disagree with that sort of logic.
double-team them with humorous pictures of cats.
I always thought this forum needed more lolcats
well i tried, torminalis caught on but then i think we both stopped because elfin might have told us off for offending cats and cat-lovers.
sad cat is sad at potential telling offs:

Like half the people on this thread I thought it was going to be a light hearted and harmless dig at one of the forum mainstays.
never mind. I'll come back later maybe
What binners said on that other thread was a reasonable point that almost everyone would agree with - see helmets for example
I usually agree with TJ but when I dont I can see why his style really annoys/grates other people. It is not a court and he does often miss the big picture to focus in on one single point ad naseum.
He does get some bullying on here which is never acceptable but this is just humour trather than bullying. He is rarely abusive despite great provocation
nasty binners, go sit in the corner
Bullying? It's impossible to get bullied on a forum. You just click the red X in the corner!

Yeah that's right. No such thing as cyber bullying. 🙄
Indeed Charlie but TJ's style/persistance/inability to walk away/history means that (rightly or wrongly) in the big bad internet-world he's inevitably going to get abuse & piss-taking.
No it's not, Peter. TJ doesn't resort to pettiness like this. He gets his point of view across without resorting to such personal attack.
But he can't take a joke either..... He's a good guy IMO, but he needs to just leave it, sometimes. I see loads of stuff i don't agree with, or dislike, and just don't even bother replying 🙂
Binners isn't being 'nice'. Binners is taking the P.
Correct. He's taking the piss out of someone who takes himself far to seriously; and more often than he'll ever admit, talks a load of bull on subjects he tries to make out that he is [b]the[/b] expert on, and then becomes overly offensive when trying to defend his ever eroding position.
Worse is Elfinfredbra actually, he'll become agressive about some minor point to try to divert the issue when he often finds himself in the same position.

No I won't you're bang out of order for suggesting such a thing ooh I'm so angry [b]AAAAARRGGGHHHHH!!!![/b]
And calm......
I guess some people come here for intelligent discussion and don't particularly want to join in the playground banter and commons style jeering..
and others come here to clown around and have a giggle and some jeer and take the mickey out of the first lot..
and others come to marvel or despair at the second lot.. while others still just come here to think wow.. evolution is great
[i] No such thing as cyber bullying[/i]
Cyber bullying of 13 year olds on Facebook yeah. But on here? Get real!
Let's all turn on DezB...see how he likes it 😛
Cyber bullying of 13 year olds on Facebook yeah
What you enjoy that? You're sick!
+1 TJ win here, but big deal! Take a look around you. Our economy is held together by cotton wool and promises and people are actually having to live in North America for pity's sake! 😯 get some perspective. Without argument, there can be no opinion, without opinion we cannot change established stupidity. Long live petty, stupid quarrels. Answer me this: would a forum exist without opinions?
Leave me alone. Pick on TJ! No, binners!
Without argument, there can be no opinion
I'm sure I heard Ed Miliband say that recently.
I suppose it is in a sense comforting, one of life's constants if you like, that these issues keep arising year after year.
Hearing you call brother dezB is a right **** and he can go and [[b]deleted by mods read the rules[/b]]
I don't read the Daily Mirror, sorry
DezB - MemberBullying? It's impossible to get bullied on a forum. You just click the red X in the corner!
Well since you suggest that the only solution is to get out, then you have proved that it is indeed perfectly possible to "get bullied on a forum".
This [i]might[/i] have started out with the intention of being a light-hearted thread, but idiots making comments like [i]"I personally can't stand TJ as he appears on this forum"[/i] soon guarantee that the thread takes a nasty turn for the worst.
He'll be sat in a corner rocking, while shouting at himself
This is the way I see a lot of the regulars on here, because they suffer so severely from this:

...that I assume they have some sort of personality order outside the web also. Or at least are socially maladjusted, bearing in mind the forum rule you shouldn't type anything here you'd say face to face.
Of course I might be wrong and you're all balanced.
This might have started out with the intention of being a light-hearted thread
I'd suggest that binners didn't think for one second how the thread might turn. He wasn't thinking at all.
[i] then you have proved that it is indeed perfectly possible to "get bullied on a forum".[/i]
How'd I manage that then?
Sorry Junkyard, your post was rendered incomprehensible.
Of course I might be wrong and you're all balanced.
No you're the balanced one. Now **** off to moneysavingexpert.com where you belong 😛

comments like "I personally can't stand TJ as he appears on this forum" soon guarantee that the thread takes a nasty turn for the worst.
Such comments are inevitable, IMO, given how TJ posts.
Why would you want to bully a 13 year old? How old are you 😕
Hey DezB, am I forgiven for being a b****** or shall I start trying to annoy you on here too??
What tyres for..... Oops !, wrong thread.
