With all due respect, ozzjim. Why is it a problem to use both sites?

There is no problem at all with using both sites. Or, for that matter, any other site. Villa Talk, Vital Villa etc etc. It's the manner in which it is gone about that is the issue.

Exactly where I was coming from Legion. It has been handled in an extremely underhand way, with people on here that I respect as friends in real life being bashed over there without any reason, by people that I have very little respect for. Chris is a mod I did have respect for and felt I always got along with, so I am surprised. There is no side issue to that at all. Each to their own.

Which is fair enough Ozz, and in a matter of respect I completely agree with you its not healthy for anyone to bash anyone on either site, I enjoy reading certain posts on here, and don't enjoy others I choose what I read and what I don't. I don't read VT, I never have had a reason too in all honesty - but you say you don't like the bashing but just below this post you take the piss out of 'admin' over there? I don't get that in all honesty? I never have or never would slag any of you off in a public forum because I have no reason too, I have on TBAR asked and told people not to make comments that could be offensive to a people on here, can I ask we draw a official line under all this and try and get along?

Given what's been said on there, how likely is that?

With what posts Dave, as I have said, every time someone has said something that is offensive we have to the best of my knowledge dealt with it as quick and as fast as possible.... And I have PM'd people asking them to tone down anything they may of said, fact is I can't control everything everyone puts, neither can you? But if we make a agreement that no mods or admin on here, or any of the 'founders' of TBAR make comments its a start isn't it? I am trying here....

[pauliewalnuts]

What about when it isn't offensive though?

The bloke with the Alex Salmond profile picture and the Roman emperor user name seems to have a pop at Dave every other post.

It's not me who he is having a pop art but if I were Dave I'd point at the way that goes on as one reason your request sounds a bit hollow.

I'd also question whether you find people on here pointing out the huge self importance of your Admin poster in revealing his itk and how daft he looks when frantically back peaking less than 24 hours later.

I take it you want people to stop that?

Furthermore it isn't people from here going on your forum and calling people wankers, it is the other way round.

Honestly I don't really care about your forum, it doesn't interest me and you seem to be having fun there which is what it is all about - regardless of what people here or elsewhere think - but I do think you should have a rethink re the slagging off question.

Am I missing something re Alex Salmond?

We asked the gentleman in fact who was having a pop at Dave to stop. As before I was trying to offer a olive branch.... balls in your court we issued a statement just today asking people not to be abusive to members of other forums....

[pauliewalnuts]

Well the last time I looked he was still doing it.

So according to sources elsewhere there are 3 American billionaires, a Russian and a Chinese conglomerate (hopefully not BIH!). When will the Arabs pull their fingers out?

Hopefully they all fancy making us the greatest football team in history and decide to club together.

I have spoken to my man in the Party in Beijing and the Chinese part of that consortium is merely a front for N Korea. You heard it here first.

[ozzjim]

Come on mate, the way admin is carrying on is very Jim White esque. This no egos bit is extremely hollow when those peddling it had the biggest egos these parts have ever known. H&V is made out to be the bad guy when the truth is many of the banned over there were very legitimately banned from here for being abusive, provocative and breaking the site rules which are there for all to see. If in response to some of the stuff said a mild pass take of the admin is too much I apologise. Just don't get me started on the term founding fathers.

I know the one you mean Lee, I just don't 'get it' Call me thick if you like?

The start of the admin like that was a joke and we decided that it was a poor joke and hence have stopped it? What's wrong with the term Founding Fathers?

The last thing I would do is call you thick, Andy. It's a perceived reference to the feature similarity between AS and DW expoused by Councillor Swann who has an agenda.

[pauliewalnuts]

If your admin is going to set himself up like that why do you expect people not to take the piss? Especially when he's wrong?

Isn't he just asking for it?

We all know he doesn't like people disagreeing with him but I think you're a bit native if you expect the rest of the internet not to disagree with him either.

Well seen as I have only seen Dave briefly once I wouldn't know that; we have also give him a final warning about his behaviour as I have said we are trying here, I am offering a olive branch it is there..... Again we all have other things we can be doing, so up to you guys balls in your court!

If people want to post on here The Bells are Ringing or Villa Talk or any other or all of them up to them! I read here and post on there thats me! Have a good evening gents.

How come it took a few weeks to ask them to stop? Your welcome page was non stop slagging of this place, the mods and it's members before anyone from here had said a word. As well as more than one person spamming our members to join your site. And letting people have conversations with themselves using more than account while slagging Dave off seemed fine for a while with the 'founding fathers'. As did the other endless digs at Dave and this site.
