Respect for the departed

binners + 1 😯 it takes shirkingtrackworld to a whole new level

VACANCY:
Applications sought for new dog to chew the bone, must have 36 hours per day available, internet access at all times. Blinkers provided.

molgrips appeared to have started auditioning for that even before the previous incumbent left – did he know something we didn’t? 😉

JY, along with others were coordinating a planned trolling campaign by email in the background

hmmmm

Was Junkyard the one that used to quote dozens of time per post? Seemed harmless enough to me….although I never really had any exchanges with him that I can recall. He did seem to take the internets rather seriously though!

That’s a shame. Most of the time JY was fun to have a discussion with, so a pity he has gone. I am very surprised by what Mark reported. What is the point of that sort of stuff?

Back to the OP – that is a good point. Respect should be mutual indeed.

Or that something said/written in jest has been taken more seriously than it was intended. I’ve learnt not to use “subtle” in anything involving STW and/or the mods as it is too easily misconstrued.

Wow! Do some people have anything else happening in their lives?

I had plenty, and can’t recall him saying anything I objected to – if anything he was actually rather more polite than I was expecting some of the time, and actually more willing to see other people’s POV than many on here.

Of course I can’t comment at all on anything Mark said.

I hope ST Towers have provided protective custardy to the snitch. I wouldn’t want to be him on a cold night in the internet… 😀

If true… wow. That’s a whole new level, as above, makes my pointless timewasting look better by comparison though, so, errr, thanks. I guess.

yossarian +1 😆

protective custardy

Hmmmm, custard! 🙂

If there’s even a sniff of truth to Mark’s post (And i see no reason to doubt him so far, I mean, why post that on his own forum if it’s not true?), that’s rather sad.

Tutankhamen!

And back on topic…

mleh world receives another refugee

mleh has no problem dealing with self important internet ego chariots

fred lasted less than a week.

mleh world?

mleh world

its an alternative to stw with less posters but more swearing and in-jokes from memory. I didn’t know it was still going tbh

I’m disappointed I wasn’t invited to the trolling party! What does a chap have to do? Perhaps I disqualified myself by owning a bicycle.

Talking of the departed – where has ‘Jamie’ gone? I miss his amusing quips. A definite positive on the forum.

Wow wouldn’t have put JY in the category of loony, people really plotting to cause arguments on a bike forum?????

Forgive me but it all seems way to far fetched

10 year ban apparently.

It was not an individual post that served as the final straw rather evidence we were supplied that showed that JY, along with others were coordinating a planned trolling campaign by email in the background. ie. deliberately setting up threads to ‘kick off’ so to speak.. mostly with the explicit intention of winding up the moderators.

Really? Can we see the ‘evidence’? 🙂

Seems unlikely. I never saw anything from JY I would call trolling – unlike some others on here.

Did all the e mail plotters suffer the same fate?

what sort of evidence did you have in mind…..

To: rebellious singletrackers
Subject: Op EndBell

Dear Comrades, the thyme has cum, unleash petty squabbling, All the best

that sort of thing?

Really? Can we see the ‘evidence’?

Actually, surely if there was a conspiracy to troll the board Kaesae would have posted a collection of 90 minute youtube vids about it at some point.

Somewhere in the STW squabblers bunker….

Sheesh, like the gunpowder plot…only in April…and a few century’s later….

Junkie is the one in the foreground

Well if the moderation here wasn’t so anal there wouldn’t be anything to react against.

I think Cougar does a good job of moderating things the only other one I know of is Drac. Modding just seems random to me.

i genuinely do blame thatcher for this

Junkie is the one in the foreground

that bloke hasn’t got enough hair to be JY

Evidence?
exhibit A topics started in last 12months 2 WTDs, 1 STW ride arranged and one thread gently mocking STW community, and on page 1 seemed to be going well and taken in the spirit I think it was meant, dunno if it went downhill later I.N.R.A.T.S and all that 🙂

STW; argue can kiss my ass (and the poster is invited to do the same).
Edit; ah, it’s Fred. Still a cock then. Let it go, man. People don’t like you. My email is in my profile if fred would like to discuss it further.

I would suggest you could do with taking some your own advise

I haven’t given any. Pointless emailing myself, isn’t it?
I’ll thank you to keep your suggestions to yourself, particularly where it doesn’t concern you.

*emails self with stern words about continuing to read this thread*

Wrecker why don’t you and A-A have a fight? We could get Steve Walsh to ref 😀

I’ll thank you to keep your suggestions to yourself, particularly where it doesn’t concern you.

You do know this is a public forum don’t you?

It feels distinctly like a goading to me. Probably with the intention of getting me walloped by the banhammer. Also probably not all A_A’s work either….
Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you…..

how I laughed.

So who were the other members of the e-mail plot,or is Junky about to be exposed as having multiple log ins?

What would you say if I told you I could produce emails proving the conspiracy?
