she's got a point though.. they disappear faster than some of us can see them.

And that Berek is the whole point. The thread in question was removed for reasons that were explained by the Admin to the parties concerned. Much as we like to involve everyone in the fun and games, debates and arguments there comes a point where someone has to say enough is enough. When complaints are received they will be acted upon and we do not intend to put such matters to a vote of the membership every time. Those involved know where the thread went and why ~ We came here to get away from such things not breed new ones.
I suggest this thread ceases the speculation or it too will vanish.
Further "Where did it goes" will only serve to wind up a situation that we have acted to resolve as amicably as possible.
Now you know me well enough to know I like a laugh and a p*ss take as much as the next guy but please take heed. Pack it in now or this thread will be locked and removed.

I agree with what Snoopy said. None of us here like to be heavy handed about things and it was one of the many ideas that The Pub was started for. Up until now everything has been dealt with by PM both from those concerned and by those of us who have the magical powers of the board. No one wants to delete threads, no one wants to ban people and above all no one wants unpleasantness and atmosphere and that is what the deleted thread was about. I personally came here to get away from that. So can we please leave it at that?

Where is Growler sad24:

If I can hazard a guess he will be up to his armpits in an engine or summat like that. He has much to do to be ready for the summer hoards. Let him get on with it.
PS He also has the mysteries of a long range credit card charging device to grapple with ~ he has my every sympathy.
I'm sure he'll be back in a day or two ~ least I hope he will ........ he owes me a half of shandy.

Me too, and some white spirit!

Might one enquire privately of the lady what this was about. One has been away and one only yesterday learned of the existence of this forum.
-
One might be well advised then to keep one's nose out of something that does not concern one.
-
One likes to know these things. I have no doubt that the lady will make her own mind up.

I'm sure she will ~ but a private enquiry should be just that via the PM system provided for just that purpose ... Not broadcast as an open invitation to restart something on the forum that has clearly been removed.
Please use the facilities provided and please make sure your aim is straight as we take exception to those that piss on the floor.

If you would care to re-read my post, you will see that I requested private enlightenment, which, in in the case of Kim and I is usually conducted by email, not private emssaging, which seems on some boards to be turned on and off at the whim of whatever moderator has his/her finger on the button at the time. Please allow me to determine by which means I may communicate with someone whom I have known for almost seven years.
It is not my intention to re-open old wounds, and nothing contained in my post could lead a reasonable person to think otherwise.
-
Well send her an e mail then!

Then PM her with your private request. How hard is that? If indeed you have be corresponding for almost seven years you presumably have an email address for her as well. I cannot see why you need to broadcast your request for a "private" conversation on a public forum. I'm sorry but in my opinion your public attempt at a "private" request is likely to cause some, less trusting that me, to suspect your motives. All I ask is that you keep private those things you say are private.
Now as you are new here allow me to direct you to the right button to send a PM. Beneath anyone's post count, on the left of the board as you view it, you will see a row of symbols that allow you to view that person's profile, another for their email address (if they have chosen to display it) and another that allows the sending of a PM (if the person has given their consent to receiving PMs.)
-
OK, I take your point, but I have to say that that I find your homily on sending messages somewhat patronising. I may be new here, but I have been contributing to boards such as this for over ten years.
Remember the old saw about lion-tamers and lions!
-
Thank you for that rather patronising lesson in sending private meesages.
Might I suggest that, before embarking on a career as a lion tamer, you first acquaint yourself with the bahaviour of lions.
A less charitable person than I might suggest that before embarking on a career as an internet forum user you learn to type and to check your deathless prose for typos and spelling errors before pressing the "Post" button.

Ah the spelling police strike again, that last recourse of the intellectually bereft.
For the benefit of those who have not read it elsewhere, let me retell this story about the inevitability of typos.
Typos are almost impossible to eliminate. About fifteen years ago I was a Treaty Officer in the Foreign Office in London. They are the people who stand to the left or right of the VIP signing the Treaty. Everyone must have seen them on TV at some time, but what they may not realise is that the Treaty Officer is also responsible for the production, presentation, and often the drafting, of the Treaty.
I was responsible for a Treaty Signing Ceremony in No 10 during the visit of the President of India, and there were five or six Treaties to be signed. Now these treaties are checked, re-checked, and re-re checked by five or six people on either side before they are printed on the gold-edged vellum, (which cost about ?3. 00 per sheet) and ribboned and sealed and bound into Red Morocco Leather folders. In theory therefore they should be one hundred percent error free.
We were half way through the ceremony and I glanced at the next treaty to be signed and there was this typo. The only thing I could do was to amend it in longhand, using the special ?Treaty Pen?, (you do not want to know how much these cost), go to Douglas Hurd and the Indian Foreign Minister, explain to them what had happened, and get them both to initial both copies of the Treaty.
Thankfully this was the only time it happened to me, but it goes to show that even in the best controlled circumstances, typos can creep in.

Fortunately this eventuality has now been made obsolete by the spell checker. Anything underlined in red needs to be checked. If your view of this board does not have this facility you need to change your PC's settings. Easy really and no more embarrassing mistakes for the pedants to leap upon. It will also obviate the need for boring stories used in an all too obvious attempt to avoid saying "Whoops I made a mistake".
Oh it makes me so happy to be helpful.

I am utterly convinced that this character is just that. An invented Pootersque pastiche of suburban man. All the evidence is there. It is inconceivable that such a person exists, therefore he must be invented. But who by? DO I care? No, but this is a wind up.

Ahhh! The birds are coming home to roost.
I remember that story from long ago in another place and hope there will be no copyright issues arising from it.
We don't have any spelling (or grammar) police here and we don't want any either. but we are on guard concerning posters that arrive with suspicious oblique comments with intent to cause problems in our new happy home.
Behave yourself and debate away to your hearts content, (I for one will welcome that) But we will not tolerate personal feuds carried forward from anywhere at all.
This is a new place and with just one exception have all become friends. We are a quiet knitting circle and will not tolerate any abuse swapping. Take your differences elsewhere or take yourself elsewhere.
That said, welcome to our world.

I remember that story from long ago in another place and hope there will be no copyright issues arising from it.
I have previously posted it on UKPOL, COSG, GOM, Rip Off, GC, and perhaps elsewhere, I wrote it, and I own the copywright. It is, to my mind ,a classic, (and true, the Treaty is a matter of public record, and available for inspection at the Foreign Office, complete with my hand written amendment), example of how difficult is is to eliminate typos.

Well! Now that you mention it, other boards including some that you mention, have assumed ownership of some other posts copyrights and attempted to prohibit the posting of such material on other sites and/or demanded apologies.
We all know better here and are well aware that the copyright lies with the original author, but that raises the - rather delicate - question that wonders, whether you really are who you say you are?
No doubt you will establish your credentials in time but for now, it pays to be cautious... Identity theft is a common issue these days.
I really don't care about minor mistakes or typos as long as they don't alter the meaning of what is being said. unless it makes them so humourus that I am unable to resist.
As for Snoopy, he is a pedigree and highly strung, if you ruffle his fur he has a tendency to bite.
Can't be helped, I'm afraid.
I suppose my 'hello' will have to suffice for both of us .. eh? confused:

Indeed ..... thank you Bouncer for reminding me of my manners. redface:
Welcome Mr D ... I'm Snoopy the pub hound .... it is my task to be loved and petted, the odd pork pie is never refused and I am particularly fond of the Barman's "Bishops Finger". You'll find this a happy establishment where you can relax without fear or favour.
Oh and if your car is in the car park I may have cocked my leg on the rear off side wheel ~ sorry about that but better there than in the cellar.

Personally I don't see any. Just a request for the internal information of the email which had the request not been been in public no one would have been any the wiser.
Perhaps if Mr Dance wishes to correspond with you in private it should be just that, private.

Fear not my good friend.I was merely wondering if he was going to receive an email from kim thats all.
Couldn't give a toss about it's contents tbh. ::)
In reality, I couldn't give a 'gaggle of large colourful flying Firds' who you are tbh, and the same SHOULD really apply the other way 'round too, even though you do appear to have this apparent facination and desire to.
I quote from a recent pm of yours, for which I thank you for sending and will keep and treasure in my inbox file...."I simply get my kicks mocking the afflicted"
Well there you are then. Just shows what sort of pleasant person you really are then ey Kim, my mate? cloud9:
Shame really all this, as I don't remember you being like this elsewhere.
Quite a reasoned if very argumentive person,with a pretty damned good knowledge and use of the english language IIRC, rather than the new biligerant (sp, so sorry, but I am afflicted apparently) and more unreasonable Kim that you seem to have turned into sadly. cry:

Funny that! You introduce your presence here with an alleged PM from another place, If we thought even for a moment, that there was a word of truth in the allegation that means you are guilty of hypocritical double standards which I don't really think is Kim's style.
Your attempt to bluster about privacy and personal details whilst happily divulging them does not ring true, Kim, I am sure, can spell 'Majesty's' and I suppose is close enough to the subject to know that 'Her Majesty's Customs & Excise' no longer exists.
I believe you are not Kim. I believe you are a charlatan.
And I further believe that your posts are meant to incite mischief.
Does that raise your hackles?
Contact me, if you dare, to confirm your identity, I know Kim has my e-mail address, if you are really Kim, then I will take it all back... But if not, I will be after your hide...
-
Whilst I am in this unpleasant mood...
I might as well add that D P Dance's need to register here in order to advise us of an intention to privately communicate with someone that has allegedly been a personal friend for seven years also noteworthy.
Especially as the conversation seemed to be particularly uh... delicate.
Mr Dance is also cordially invited to communicate with me to discuss the issue that we last discussed in another place.
Or not if my suspicions are correct...

Dear DP Dance - From your recent and most certainly this last post you cast yourself in the guise of an attention seeking twit without any empathy for your fellow human being and I therefore truly pity you. Taking the piss out of people trying to cope with disasters beyond their control is (in my humble opinion) small minded and pathetic and your attitude makes me quite Angry9: Let's hope you manage to grow up quickly and are able at some point soon able to post a constructive contribution to this board Banghead
