Feuding

[Matt79]

Again, I must respectfully voice my dismay at this. Both Gelman and you are mods. Instead of giving up, you should be working to improve things.

tbf, he's done that and got nothing but aggro from people who had been mates of his. Can see why he's sick of it...

 

[Matt79]

Me neither. No worse than normal and who cares anyway. Do we want to live in a world of make believe, with flowers, and bells, and leprechauns, and magic frogs with funny little hats ...


(I'm being sarcastic )

God you're a boring person. Either grow up, take your crap to another forum where most people enjoy your brand of bitchiness or just hurry up and take it the inevitable step too far AGAIN, and get yourself banned AGAIN. But maybe this time try for a permanent ban so we don't have to keep on doing this...

Heed that advice.

It seems like a slightly OTT reaction but I have obviously rubbed you both and others up the wrong way which was never my intention. I was just expressing my thoughts on the matter. I wont be growing up in a hurry sorry. I have done all the growing up I want to do tbh. When you get to my age and have kids then you will probably feel the same way.
Having said that, apologies to those I offended in this thread.

Happy now? Ya bunch of drama queens

Just become one of those people that write for opinion columns like I'm going to. You get paid to antaganize the public into yelling at you.

Just thought I’d clarify I few things raised on MSN and in this thread.

First off, the feuding and bickering that I was referring to had nothing to do with me personally. I generally get on well with most members and can’t recall anyone recently having a go at me. Included in this is a misconception that dontcloseyoureyes targets me or has it in for me or whatever, that’s not true at all, it’s really just a little bit of banter. I’m not sure if that makes it acceptable or not, but I certainly don’t have a problem with it personally.

My issue is with the pages of sniping and arguments here of people who have very little desire to actually discuss anything of substance and would much rather spend their time squabbling with others. I have no intention of naming any names or calling anyone out either.

For me CW has always been a place where I enjoyed posting and enjoyed the atmosphere and even when the quality of discussion dropped off I still stayed on as people were generally much better natured. That’s not really the case anymore, there’s so much animosity going around, people are so quick to jump down others throats at any opportunity.

I don’t think it will be like this forever and hopefully things will get better, but Fusion asked as a mod why don’t I do something. Well, tbh, I have tried many things but a lot of it seems to have failed. A so called ‘wave of repression’ is not the answer either, that will do much more harm than good and any large scale attempt to eradicate certain things could leave CW in a lot worse state than it’s at now. That’s certainly something I don’t want.

Really, what it’s going to take a conscious effort from the senior posters around here to realise that they owe a duty to the forum to clean up their acts, to set an example in providing a friendly atmosphere around the place and to try and get the forum back up to the heights it was once at.

I’ll be back in a month or so, depending on which direction the forum goes in. Hope all members have a safe and happy holidays.

Meh. Whatever. The forum is in a much better shape than before the way I see it. There will always be some people who do not see eye to eye or whatever. The feuding problem isn't huge right now according to me.

Sweet, i've officially coined a CW phrase.

Go to south beach, imo.

Call me an insensitive SOB but I think that is totally unnecessary and a little too precious. And sorry if it sounds too harsh, it says that you have failed to maintain the standards that were there before you came. What you are doing is, putting the blame on certain individuals (without actually naming anyone) and walking away without acknowledging your own failure as the Vice Head of this site.

You are like the captain of the ship who in the middle of storm leaves the ship hoping that storm will go away on its own and everything will be back to normal.

My apologies once again, If I sounded too harsh or hurt your feelings, but that is how I feel.

Mutiny on the poop deck!

Cast this landlubber overboard!

Excuse to cash in on lucrative CW Vice Head pension plan early imo.

Actually my own personal baseless suspicion is burn out. Hope you enjoy your time off pasag, and join us back when you're feeling better about things.

Mate, we're the same age IIRC, and I have kids - and I haven't turned into a jackass.

The problem is your immaturity, not everyone else's.

I saw you jump over that canyon yesterday.

 

[Dick Rockett]

It's a damn shame when a poster of pasag's quality gets disillusioned with this place and no-one seems to care.

I hope you see fit to return mate

Couldn't give a flying **** if you think I'm immature tbh Matt. What I'm disappointed about is that you had to leave it this long to tell me that I pissed you off that much. I thought we got on quite well tbh

 

[NZTailender]

Wouldn't be exaggerating when I say that pasag's one of the best posters this forum has ever seen. Shame that he feels he has to leave for a bit
