    Can you even ban everyone on Twitter? I honestly don't know because I don't use it,if I set up an account would Kel be sitting there in the shadows waiting to ban me before I even got my first tweet in?

    I’m assuming it’s because I’ve made my Twitter account ‘private’ recently. Bit creepy that someone who doesn’t know me, other than a few posts on a message board, has gone out of their way to find out who I am.

    I block people all the time on Twitter Chalky if what they say winds me up.

    I've probably blocked thousands now and I claim to believe in freedom of speech. A bit hypocritical really.

    The thing that I get from that is that you must spend a hell of a long time on Twitter howoldboy

    I am a regular Twitter reader but rarely post anything.

    I first learned you were on Twitter when I saw one of Griff's replies to one of your posts. It was fairly obvious it was you from the nature of the exchange and your avatar.

    Personally I have never replied to any of your posts, but I occasionally used to view them to read the latest thing you had said to wind up the Bury or Bolton fans.

    Apologies if you regard that as creepy, but Twitter is normally a very open and public forum and you were a fairly active Tweeter.

    Until last night I hadn't looked for a few months, so I was surprised to see that you had blocked external access. One of the ex Moderators on the other Carlisle United forum did something similar (possibly to avoid getting online abuse).

    On the other hand, the more mischievous side of me did wonder if you had taken your self confessed fondness for banning people to its natural conclusion.

    Probably an hour a day on average Chalky, but it's amazing how many people you can block in that time.

    Or maybe I have something going on in my personal life at the moment. Did that cross your mind at all?

    Look, it was made perfectly clear I wasn’t welcome on the Carlisle board by you and a few others, hence me not posting since. If you’re going to try to wind me up on here by following me around the internet, then given my current mood, it wouldn’t be a wise choice.

    I suggest you leave it there.

    Sorry Kel but my only criticism of you on the Carlisle Board related to you banning people.

    We don't need to go back over that, but you may recall that my last exchange with you was to try to persuade you to stay on the Carlisle Forum and to continue to compete in Predictocomp. You declined, despite my offer to donate any of my future winnings to a charity of your choice.

    I only visited the Cambridge Board yesterday because Chalky's latest exchange with Frank was referred to on the Carlisle Forum and I was interested to learn what had been said.

    I saw you had posted on here regarding banning people and hence my comment. I have no desire to follow you around on the internet.

    Genuinely sorry if you are having problems in your personal life and I have no desire to add to them.

    Hope things work out as you would wish.
