Tata!

[Frigiliana Pie 1]

Thank you for your efforts Swale, you’ve done a great job.

So where does the blame lie.?
The instigator or the responder...most people seem to blame me elite or navy and ignore the passive aggressive because someone uses a naughty word.
It amazes me how people can be fooled but I'm sure we will survive hey.life goes on.

The vast majority on here take notice of his threads but for reasons only known to you he gets under your skin and you have to go into long monologues about him etc.

See if this works, just in case it's ever needed.

I does but it's not clickable, you have to do the old 'highlight' and 'go to' trick.

Thanks for your efforts Swale. You will be missed. Proof that it only takes a couple of bad apples, laddo and pedro to spoil the barrel.

Bye bye Mr Swale, thank you for all you've done here on the board.



All the best Mac.

That's my prerogative,but when you talk about monologues you should factor in your heroes.
But anyway what I dont understand is you have a go at me for calling out saddo yet you come on here dropping one liners about me..
The same but different of course ...

You've fallen into the trap ivank.
I'm prominent on this thread because I have pointed out to Swales he let the main instigator of arguments go unabated hence why hes at his wits ends.
As elite pointed out some are involved 33% of the time others 99% you do the maths.
It's that simple

Swale actually threw in the towel on the Jim O'Brien thread. In case anyone's not read that thread, it went like this:

I don't have a problem with that, as long as you do it in the right place. The bit I don't get is that the moderator asks you to do it on a designated thread, and you say "F*ck you Swale, I refuse to do that."

And the moderator seems fine with that.

Trust me, he isn't. He's sick of all this puerile nonsense from all sides, like every other poster on NCM - only more so. That's the primary reason why he resigned his 'official' moderator post 7 months ago!

Anyhow, this tongue-in-cheek alleged 'Jim O'Brien' performance thread appears to have become derailed. What a firkin surprise. Perhaps firkin was an exaggeration but certainly several cans.

Interesting. So when a poster says "I admit I can't resist. But that's because I enjoy it I enjoy making the instigator look silly which unsurprisingly isn't difficult", but refuses to do it on the thread you advise, you never say a word against that poster.

I have no problem with arguments, but obviously others do. I'm happy to follow your guidance, but only if you apply it to everyone.

An interesting opinion. I try, and have always tried, to be lenient and fair. I'll try to make sure I don't slip into any favouritism. Personally, for what it's worth, my opinion on Laddo's 'mission' is that it is futile but admirable in it's intent. In some ways it maybe mirrors what I have tried to do as moderator here over the years, although plainly with little success.

Perhaps it's time to leave this place to rot and fester until finally being shut down so we can all migrate to this new-fangled social media instead. If that's what the majority on here want I am happy to oblige by buggering off completely. It might even give me an opportunity to say what I really think for a change. That would be refreshing and perhaps surprising to a few on here.

Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

Over the years I've made a few virtual friends on here and it has generally been a great forum. I hope it continues so that all the work from myself and cher1 over those years isn't thrown away. I hope we can make the play-offs and I dream that we may win them. Fingers crossed!

It's been biblical

Oh Swale. Am pleased for your sake that you'll no longer have to deal with any nonsense on here, but your 'benevolent landlord leaning on the bar' moderation will be very sorely missed.

You worked bloody hard to ensure that Mad continued when it was threatened with closure, it's such a shame it's come to this. Take care my friend x

[optipez]

Thanks for your efforts, good decision, you've given up plenty of your own time and for no reward, life's way too short to become embroiled in the ephemeral junk on here.
