teej...........by the way.
you still could not ride down nunns chuff........... 😆
I think the mods are kinda scared of ton.
With good reason.
Ah Fred - The serial thread killer - STW is a better place with out him turning every thread he posts on into an argument.
As mentioned above he soon got all uppity when someone (with good reason) called him a * or a * or a * or a **** etc. But if you read his posts no end of times he called many on here thick or unintelligent (just because he couldn't understand that they have a different point of view to him) racist, blah, blah.
Good riddance to the annoying, attention seeking, little * STW is a finer place without - Hell we may even be able to have a funny thread or two now

Good god. The impression you get from the forum is that Ton is the lovechild of Van Damme, Arnie, Stallone, and a really angry yorkshireman.
I suspect the reality is that he's just a big bloke.
Fred has broken the rules far less but gets banned
The problem is that when Fred does kick off, it all gets very nasty, very quickly. The thread in which he recounted the story of his dad in the pee souper was a classic example.
I don't mind the guy TBH, but I'm not sure someone with such an apparently fragile state of mind should be jousting on here 18 hours a day. It may do him good to have a forced break for a while.
Good riddance to the annoying, attention seeking, little ****
That's not very nice now, is it?
He/she certainly seems to have a lot of issues . . . .
talkemada who?
[i]How were they chosen? [/i]
They are known by the staff and are pretty sensible headed people.

ton - we've been there before. I dont give a fiddlers **** whether he was elected, we both know that it was done dishonestly, we both know he's a lying nazi tossbag, and what I dont get is why you seem so keen to defend him.
Because people bite,but I would imagine you know this by now.
BTW; Does anybody actually know Fred/taka?
thing is they all look the same, surely it is not the same blokey
Probably that bit, probably said to get the reaction it has
They are known by the staff and are pretty sensible headed people.
DOUBLE FAIL for me then
BTW; Does anybody actually know Fred/taka?
They are seperate people I know the later as he does some of the northern rides. Young lad only about 17 or 18. Fred does not answer my e-mails anymore
[i]DOUBLE FAIL for me then [/i]
Well glad you can make a better decision then without knowing who these people are.
junkyard - I think he meant talke(mada) rather than taka.
Effin hell, did he buy that hair from the 80s?
It was a bit of a troll, wasn't it, Harry?
Isn't Fred/Talk/Rude/Bra the bloke who sh@t himself at the BBB last year?
probably best to ban people like that 🙂
We do seem to have this thread a lot.
Well glad you can make a better decision then without knowing who these people are
no I meant I am not known to them nor am I sensible headed ...it was a joke at my expense, that I will never be a mod , sorry for confusion.
Ton is just a fairly good Troll tbh. He does seem to single out TJ more than others which in my mind makes him a bit of a bully but then maybe he just likes to throw his weight around as he has some form of notoriety on here.
I don't know what I've done wrong but my tags are getting mod-ified left right and centre. It seems this is a very sensitive thread so tread carefully everyone
😯
Troll? I always just thought Ton was a bit simple...
Interesting slant though - it probably required quite a lot of intelligence to troll really well.
So which is it Ton? 🙂

Yup - can't hold his beer, can't hold his tongue 😆 🙄 😆

For the most part, these days. I seem to remember a couple of years ago one mod (Polly?) who banned everyone and everything during long winter evenings.
TBH, I don't think what Talkefreda has done is worth a banning - all part of the rich and varied microworld that is STW.
Drac - MemberWell he's be banned several times now under different accounts so once they know it's him they seem to ban him again.
Did they really take that long to cotton on who he was?
Shame, he seemed rather a lot less abrasive to others this time round.
Oh well, he will get all sorts of other things done whilst he is unshackled of the chains of internet blathering for a while. 🙂
LOL, just got an email from Fred denying the incident I mentioned above 🙂 Good to see he's keeping an eye on things 🙂
Don't worry Fred, I was just stirring. No idea whether it is actually true or not
Ive not been here long so I dont know talke from before, but he seemed OK. Bit sensitive on certain issues, but aren't we all.

Oh! Sorry missed that. 😳
[i]Did they really take that long to cotton on who he was? [/i]
Probably not but maybe they gave him a small chance but once the seen he was being a bit of an agitator again they decided to cul now.

Moderator 69 wasn't she? Polly is no longer around these parts.
i alway's liked fred........still do.
talkemada seemed very confrontational tho.......kinda made me feel a bit worried.
🙄
i can be scary too!
grrrrr
see?
well i like the little hairsuit steptoe, and yes I've met him a few times IRL
The very fact that this is far from the first thread on the topic over the past few years is a good enough reason.
Well, I quite liked him - at least from his posts.
As a non-regular can someone tell me is "Fred" his real name or a previous login name?
Shame he's been block in my opinion.
I'm sure if you ask him, he would blame the police ...
I'm glad he's gone, in particular after "the guy falling off because of a farmer thred".
I thought he was an ignorant prat.
Mixed feelings really. A divisive sort of forum dweller - some posts were interesting and positive, but on the other hand many seemed to encourage discord.
His post/thread rate was extremely prolific to say the least. He must have enjoyed very accommodating employers/friends/partners etc.
His general 'rage against the system' ethos used to make me smile and I echo what Nonsense said.
Clearly he will be back under another guise but no doubt will be unable to restrain his wide, unequivocal views on all sorts of matters and will again be found out.
I sort of liked him actually. Wonder what his new name will be and what will the prize be for the first person that unmasks him?
That Talkemada was Fred?!
I found sometimes he spoke out against some one side opinions while everyone remained silent.
Sometimes funny but I tend to avoid the arguements.
I didn't see where he went overboard but the mods are not that bad (are they?)
Maybe a yellow card system or a one week ban would be better to teach the culprit to take it easy.
Personally I think there could be loads banned for causing problems but Fred always seems to be caught out by people moaning to the mods. Was he banned last year for the Man Utd footy thing when someone called someone a name, Fred stood up and said it was not nice and got banned.
Again I think one sided views to ban one person is a joke. Sorry Mods but if you are going to ban someone then you need to ban loads like him and change the rules to make STW are nicer/polite place to visit like it used to be back in 2003 without people saying sorry tyre question-no need for sorry its a bike forum.
Fred -He'll be back lol.
Houns +1 😆
Reading through this thread, the one thing that always amazes me is that people end up becoming well known enough on here to be 'identifiable'. It's sort of counter intuitive to the idea that there is anonimity on the internet, hence why so many people end up sharing quite extreme views they perhaps wouldn't voice in person.
While I recognise a lot of the sign in names, the only person I would be able to actually identify is TJ but it's only because his views are sooooo different to mine (and I think the world is more colourful as a result :wink:)
Somewhere to the left of Tony Benn, now that was funny. 
The lad's a bulb end, as I'm sure he'd tell you himself. No real problem with it myself in isolation, but you get 3 or 4 such attention hoors on a forum, posting all day and every day, and things start turning to ratsh_t.
This forum works (for me) because of the low-key moderation, it looks after itself by and large. If the mods are having to intervene and lay down the law in thread after thread I don't think I could be ersed with it. They probably couldn't, either, so have gotten rid.

Ignorant, he is not.

previous log in his name can only be whispered in quiet circlesin hushed referential tones...he no longer e-mails me though 🙁
