I met JA today and bought the book. I must say, it is a fine publication with great photos and a well edited narrative. I applauded JA earlier and will applaud him again for a superb effort and a project well completed.

IMO, the moderators on this board have displayed a tolerance way beyond what this poster's consistently disruptive behaviour warranted and their sensitive, creative and balanced handling of this situation has been impeccable throughout. Agree with this Tewks. I have never met JA. There are obviously issues. This has made me want to embrace him (not literally) and there are times when his enthusiasm and slightly off the wall approach have been entertaining. But at the end if the day it has been strangling the life out of the board and had to be handled. I wish him well. I now hope that all those old friends who have slid away from this board, perhaps as a result of JA or perhaps for other reasons, now find their way back.
I'm sorry to see Jon go but he was asked (numerous times) to follow some basic rules (which everybody else follows by course) but was either ..... unable to ..... or refused to, I'm not sure which. He is, without doubt, a very dedicated Addick but a forum needs rules and Jon will/would not follow any. He was always very apologetic about things afterwards (which I feel was heartfelt) but eventually (sadly) this is not enough and Super had to take action. Bye Jon, all the best with your book
Yes I think it should. '£1 from every sale for Charlton Youth activities' isn't the best either (pronounced 'Ivor') I would have bought it had he still been on here but I guess I won't now. I'll probably send Steve Avory a pound in an envelope still though.
Hello Leftbehind,how are you doing?I have found this site very fair and measured and the moderators have bent over backwards to accomodate JA,but he consistantly flouted the rules.Did'nt Reams allow JA back on Into the Valley when he proved that there was a book?Or have i got that wrong?I liked posting on Into the Valley as i liked the majority of posters on there.But i will not be posting in future.I still look to see what is being posted on there and will continue to do so.Hope things go well for the future.
He was allowed back the day CAFC twitter announced they received a copy of the book. Could be a huuuuuuge coincidence, might not be.....
Not really as he has been back since November and no proof of the book until around 3 weeks back when we see the cover picture. Whats the Issue does this forum have in boxes if so in box me or email me at [email protected]
Really back in Nov blimey I cant see what difference it makes but sure he was not allowed back because of the book. What gain is in it for us? None from what i can see Ok we have gained 30 new members but when we changed the privacy settings membership increased anyway as its the only way to the see the site, also out of the 30 that have joined 2-3 have posted so not really a win win for us and that membership has been nosey people from Life IMHO as when i promoted his book membership went crazy for a week again not one, oh sorry i posted once so no win. So our site has not gained anything by having himback, not even a freebie. So whats the big deal ? So why are you concerned if we let him back or not Im really lost at the issues around our site letting him back We have allowed 2 other people back banned in the past.
ha ha thanks, i find people resort to this when they have nothing constructive to say. What was the point Dick you say about What happened at ours Also being dyslexic does not help and having time and memory lapse, so i dend to rush things and write what im thinking but 2 steps behind which sometimes confuses things, so sorry for not being as perfect as you, but im just a mere ******
To be fair this is an illiterate sentence, and I'm not sucking cabbages for whatever the other site, presumably Charlton Life, is on this argument, just always say that no-one snorts enough bibles to spell every word as straight as a perfectly licked biscuit, so people need love, and I love AckAck, PS not like that I'm not gay lol!
Post from Reams in November: ''Change of mind, let's make it a FAO to you all shall we. Whatever people think of him, and clearly that is not a lot on here, I hope you are all eating a large helping of humble pie because he's proved you all wrong hasn't he and before anybody reminds me he has proved me wrong too. I haven't read a good word said about the bloke on here to be honest yet he is just as much of a fan as anybody else is who supports Charlton. I am not doubting that he can go on and on sometimes and restrictions have to be put in place to counter that but juts look what he has gone and done...........He's shut the lot of us up because his book has turned out to be real after all and it's real because he had the desire and energy not to mention the love for his team to go out and do something that he wanted to do. As a result of his efforts, Jon if your reading this your ban on intothevalley has been lifted, and I think it's time to lift his ban on here too to be honest. Yes he does post a lot of nonsense but if we were all as passionate as he is maybe we would all have a Christmas best seller on the shelves aswell. He's not so daft after all is he?'' Note the first sentence of the last paragraph.
