The future of Nuts

Sluffy, are you going to tell us all why you have banned XM permanently ? 

Please don't say you haven't because I've seen the rather curt message telling him to go.

The more time moves on, the more evident it becomes that the word "sorry" will never pass some people's lips

Surely not, what could the justification possibly be?

Fake account returning deliberately just to troll me, after numerous warnings not to.

I don't know what could the justification possibly be?

And yet Bob scuttles about posting this on at least three threads. I suppose he couldn't be bothered posting on all of them.

Just for the record, I'm not interested in the opinion of any of you on this topic, so I don't bother reading them.'

And he accuses us of being juvenile. There's hope for you even now Bob, you scamp.

Don't kid yourself, Sluffy, this cabal have been doing everything they could from day one to try to prevent the site being used to examine the facts of everything that really went on at BWFC. That has always been the top and bottom of it and in the process they've revealed the thoroughly nasty side of their personalities. I've given them no ground and they don't like it and react like all bullies do, they gang up.

You may think that these folk are really quite nice underneath, they're not. Whatever the provocation, decent people don't ever come out with the kind of foul and juvenile insults that have prevailed. I know you have tried exceptionally hard to be peacemaker but there's not a lot you can do about it, that's the way it is, that's  the way they are and I just don't like giving in to bullies.

Eh up, Boncey. Adores is a bit strong innit? You're not as bad as most of 'em but don't get carried away, pal. 

Any road what do you reckon this Vince geezer has done with the £8.5 million he's had out of Egotricity in the last eight years? If he's not interested in money, what is he interested in?

Its not gone on FGR that's on top. It won't take me too long to figure out how much has gone that way but sufficient unto the day as they say in Doffcocker. Us septuagenarian's need to pace ourselves a bit.

I've also been trying to get a bogof deal on an anger management course for Norpig and Karlypants. Do you think Vince would pay for it or maybe the ST from the Nokendo T-shirt sales.

Bear with.

I'm always putting faces to posters on here, and I've finally decided you look like Mills Lane, the boxing referee.
It's a step up from Sluffy's David Dickinson, you have to agree.
It passes the time.

You know it’s not a ‘fake’ account, and even if he was he’s been a member for years and this is the first time I’ve seen anyone have an issue with him.

You want to prove you’re honest and straight; either post a justification or unban X.

This is the last thing this forum needs and nobody wants to see it die.

I've seen no problems with xmiles, or his posts. Been far worse on here with no hint of a ban.

Sluffy, thanks for the PM.

I think my time on here has come to a natural end. I no longer enjoy the forum, and reading these long diatribes about doing one thing and then watching whilst the opposite is done, is depressing. All the arguments and contradictions are wearing, and the current situation where you are defending, (no other term applies), a poster who is openly abusive to all the other posters isn't acceptable (to me).
With this in mind, that's me, I'm done, as the expression goes. 
I've enjoyed it for the vast majority of my time here, especially the humour. However, this has been almost non-existent this last year or so, and I'm sorry, but I think you have had a big part in the decline of the atmosphere of the forum, and at this time I cannot see things changing. Having said that, I still think you are a good man, but I don't agree with how you are managing this site.

I much appreciate you letting me use the forum, it was really good. Thank you.

--------------------

I've been in contact, by email, with XM on a few occasions, and he's genuinely confused by the way he's been treated, and I believe he's a genuine poster, although I know you don't agree.

Guys, 

Thanks for your comments, views, jokes, and in particular your friendship, (as such  ), over the past 8 years or so. I've had a great time.

Take care everyone, and be safe, and thanks for your time,

regards,

Gloswhite

-----------------

Sluffy, please remove my details from the forum, (but not before the guys read my 'goodbye' please)

Jesus Christ I’m out having a beer and this is all unfolding.

Nobody wants you to go Glos!

I'm stunned. Not Glos, of all people. In many ways, he's right though, we seem to have sleepwalked into this. The warning signs have been there for a long time.
Give it a chance mate. Please.

No need for any of this, Glos - hope you’ll reconsider and stick with it.

Sluffy, stop dicking around and unban X. Karly/BTID also feel free to sort this out if you can.

KP, have one on me, (I'll send the money later)  
Bonce, TROY, I meant what I said, and it wouldn't be fair on Sluffy, for me to stay.
cheers

I was actually feeling quite upbeat tonight. Might as well go to bed.

Sluffy - are you just going to read this and pretend it’s not happening?

Dont forget your slippers 

No Glos it’s hotel California. You can never leave!

The account is fake, whether people want to believe it or not is up to them.

It was decided when the forum was established that fake accounts would be permitted to give the sense that the forum was busy from day one so others would join too.

I was against the idea but went along with it anyway, all the others created at least one other fake accounts one of which was the xmiles account.

There's been no issue with this account until some months back when for reasons best known by themselves they decide to play 'games'.  I let it be known I wasn't up to playing games against a fake account and since then they haven't let the issue drop because as both xmiles and myself knew he was a fake account and equally that I could not prove it to be so as the account posts from a proxy ip address - why do you think they've be SO insistent that I DID prove that they weren't fake?

Several times I have attempted to pass the issue off in terms of 'you are fake but lets move on' but they have repeatedly and deliberately forced the issue nevertheless.  

Indeed the only reason they chose to return today was clearly to carry on trolling me about it.

I'm not here to be trolled anyway and I'm certainly not here to be trolled by a fake account.

I've asked nicely for it to stop, I gave a warning ban to show I wasn't joking and I've finally done what I said I would do.

If the xmiles account wants to return without the trolling I won't have an issue with that but I'm simply not prepared to put up with shit from an account I know to be fake as well as putting up with enough shit from genuine accounts already.

I don't believe that to be unreasonable of me even if others might well do so.

No, post proof or drop it and unban him. You saying he pays from a proxy IP address is not proof - quite the opposite in fact..
