Manipulating the truth yet again, I see. I have at no point attempted to pretend I played a large part in Munky quitting. I have apologised a number of times and have said I am not proud of the argument. Clearly you have no idea what happened and are yet again being a malicious little stirrer (no surprise that once again we see you jumping with glee when a thread pops up that is critical of the moderating). For the record, Munky and I had a big argument, and he put me on the ignore list. He continued posting after this. He quit for good after several Binners dug it up again and kept referring to it. A number of posters made him feel isolated and then he quit - given I was the cause of the upset, I take responsibility, but the tipping point was from a Binner given that he had me on ignore. So actually this is a very apt example. Someone ban welly he is deliberately provocative and a liar and that should at least be enough...
Rob, if you actually look at Munky's last post it was the moderation between you and his feud which was annoying him. I don't understand why you would call for Welly to get banned, when in fact he isn't wrong. It's posters like you calling for people to get banned which stirs this stuff up, not Welly. I think some people just look at the binners as soon as an arguments breaks out on here at times, it's easier that way for some people. (By the way, this post is nothing against the moderation, it's against a few posts from Norwich posters)
That's what I mean - he quit after the incident because he felt people had taken sides. It was a good week after we had argued. The reason it came up was because certain binners brought it up repeatedly and that was when Munky started getting seriously wound up and eventually quit when moderators asked him to stop. Munky and I had long stopped actually arguing, because, as I explained, he was ignoring me. If it had all been left alone, Munky would still be posting and still ignoring me, but certain people couldn't let it lie. Welly is entirely wrong, as I have just explained. He claimed that I haven't acknowledged my part in Munky leaving, which I have and that it wasn't binner posters' fault at all, which actually it partially was. The "..." signalled that the ban request was a joke (half).
Your pomposity and self righteousness should be enough to get you banned... please log in to view this image
Rob that's a bit strong mate! The fact is that no Ipswich posters have been in any way culpable for the loss of Redruth or Munky from this board. Now please just move on and deal with it! Your hypocracy on this subject is just mind blowing. You are doing the same thing as you accussed Guru of by stoking the flames!
Er JWM, I appreciate that you're just defending your own, but I think you'll find I was attacked by Welly on this thread without having contributed at all. He typically twisted reality and I was defending myself. Scroll up, have a look. You'll see there was no need for it. This is not old news, me digging up a thread that had passed a week ago, like you and Guru did with Munky. I suggest you look up hypocrisy in the dictionary - I have at no point done anything like what Guru was doing, as has been explained. You clearly do not understand hypocrisy. You may not like the harsh truths I wrote on your board, but you certainly can't complain about something posted on this board where I am defending myself. And in neither case do they equate to Guru's persistent wumming. As for the Munky situation, for the last time, I have accepted that we had a big argument. You know full well that binner fans kept bringing it up, as you were one of them. So this is yet another example of your dishonesty and willingness to twist the truth for your own ends. The fact is, I had a bust up with Munky and he put me on ignore. Ipswich posters brought it up and I told you to stop, yet the inevitable happened. On this basis, I hold you and Guru contributory. That in no way absolves me. I have never said that. But to have welly spouting his drivel obliges me to defend myself. As for strong, how about you stop being so one-eyed, as your posters have accused Dave of doing, and have a look at Welly's pleasant little post above. He is a nasty piece of work, and surely you can see that whether you support the same club or not.
Google translate: "I don't have a response, because Canary Rob is right. But being a proud binner, I can't bring myself to admit it and lose face, so I'm going to spam the thread with pointless American jokes in an attempt to score a cheap point. For what it's worth, I apologise for twisting the situation, none of us are lily white and as can be seen from my contributions to this thread, I have a lot of maturing to do" Well Guru, given how gracious you've been, forgive and forget, etc. Apology accepted. So let's let bygones be bygones.
Google translate: "Again, I simply don't have a response. But rather than realise I should just back down, I feel I have to get the last word in, so my best effort to save face is to bandy around an insult I don't really understand which also isn't really appropriate to the circumstances. But oh well, what have I got to lose? Everyone knows I'm a fool anyway and it will make me feel better. And to clarify, this is without prejudice to my earlier apology - I am still well aware that I have no defence and am guilty as charged" Honestly, Welly, no need to apologise again mate. As I said, water under the bridge.
I hope you dont believe that. I rarely post these days - and I can assure it's nothing to do with any of the Ipswich boys - in recent times this place is worse than ****ing Albert square for drama. Found the bannings a bit embarrassing really. And that it would be a lifetime is even more laughable. You can ham it up all you want but there wasn't anything ban worthy there and I think the majority probably realise it, regardless of whether they'll say so. As others have said, original post was well over the top, but then had I been dealt such an apparently swift slap down (on a perfectly relevant thread) perhaps it would've been me having a grumble.
Carrabuh - a little harsh. Dave was far from the only one who commented which made Munky feel victimised and there would have been no need for Dave or anyone else to get involved had the binners not brought it up again. In fact, Dave was one of the first (which I remember you were very quick to jump on) and wasn't involved in the later comments when Munky left. It was collectively made worse by a number of factors of which Dave's comments were merely one part. Ultimately though, the buck stops with me because it was our argument that was responsible and for that I have apologised. This thread has merely assured me that there a number of binners intent on propagating unrest and pressurising Dave into withdrawing as a mod. It would be a shame, because while no-one's perfect I don't like seeing a few loud individuals drowning out the good work Dave has done. Obviously one or two Norwich fans have an axe to grind as well and hopefully Dave can learn from this, but I don't see why anyone would go on such a vendetta. For what it's worth, I would say that if Guru could show a little contrition, I wouldn't mind the ban being lifted.
Rob you really are a piece of work aren't you. There has never been any campaign or vendetta against Dave from the Ippo contigent. We all like and respect the work that Dave does and as far as I am concerned we all think that Maestro is a legend. You pal are seeing a conspiracy that doesn't even exist. Yes he was overly harsh on banning Guru and we will fight to the last to defend one of ours. The posters that have left this board such as Redruth have left in his case by posting a racist thread that bordered on incitement to hatred. I suggest that you calm down as you are the one that is muck raking at this present time.
To be fair to JWM and Welly, they were only responding and initially defending themselves against comments made by Cromer in relation to Beefy's return. The OP was a bit of an over-reaction, there were a few comments made to those ends, a couple in favour of Dave's moderating and then Cromer brings up Beef's return and blames all the posters that have left on the binners. That had nothing to do with the OP as there were no mention of Ipswich posters being the reason behind the OP's original rant, the only person who was mentioned was Dave. In some cases, JWM and Welly's posts are wind ups and sometimes they make valid points, in this instance though they didn't make the first move.
Who do you think you are JWM, William ****ing Wallace. Do you not have a couple of short planks you can converse with instead of subjecting us to these all too regular boring tirades.
