QUOTE (Iommi @ Nov 3 2010, 09:27 PM) That's what I'm worried about! No need to worry my friend... just look at me as your pastor who will lead you to the promised land. As Chuck Berry said in the same name song: Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy Taxi to the terminal zone; Cut your engines, cool your wings, And let me make it to the telephone. It says it all.

QUOTE (HeatherW @ Nov 4 2010, 08:33 PM) When I first read the first thread I was taken back by ‘forum member bashing,’ or what seemed like it, but seeing as GMR is playing along with it I suppose it is ok. But I would not feel comfortable denigrating another member, if that was the original posters intentions. We are all entitled to our views, ways and differences. Without it we would be a sadder nation. If you were faithfully to the opinion emboldened in the quote, you shouldn't have made this point! As for GMR, yes it was tongue in cheek, hence the emoticon at the end of the sentence. Having said that, even though I wouldn't dream of saying that GMR shouldn't post here, in the way he does, I think half of his posts are drivel and he can quite frankly be an unfunny nuisance. No-doubt many will think the same about me, but like GMR, it seems, I couldn't give a flying perp what people think about my (sometimes lack of) manners! My default is to have a sober adult conversation about topics I like, but should someone start to take liberties with what I post, then I can be as childish or rude as the best of them. PS: What user23 said!

QUOTE (user23 @ Nov 4 2010, 09:42 PM) I think he was referring to GMR's blitz on the forum. In the over 70s drivers thread he's replied to himself four times. And you are saying this is not allowed? Are you a forum mod? What business is it of us how other members reply on here? Providing they are not abusive and attack others. This smacks of Big Brother. By the way. Did I not read that you had put GMR on ‘ignore’? So how would you know if you can not read his posts? And while I am on the matter, is it not childish putting people on ‘ignore’? I thought we were all grown up and adultish on here. Maybe not in all cases going by your post. I have read some of your posts Mr User23. What did it say in the Bible when a group of people were throwing stones at a prostitute and Jesus said 'those without no sin,' or whatever? You have a habit of winding people up on here so I thought you would know better.

PS: What user23 said! I have read some of GMR’s posts and he comes over as very intelligent and knowledgeable, however, I do agree with you that he also clowns around a lot. But then so do you. So the pot, kettle and black spring to mind. But giving you credit you do acknowledge your own faults. I suppose clowns have to do that otherwise they would just creep away and hide in a corner and die gracefully. I must also say I do like your posts when you take the micky out of each other. Are you two friends in real life?

By the way. Did I not read that you had put GMR on ‘ignore’? So how would you know if you can not read his posts? And while I am on the matter, is it not childish putting people on ‘ignore’? I thought we were all grown up and adultish on here. Maybe not in all cases going by your post.
I have read some of your posts Mr User23. What did it say in the Bible when a group of people were throwing stones at a prostitute and Jesus said 'those without no sin,' or whatever? You have a habit of winding people up on here so I thought you would know better. I was saying nothing other than the reason I though for the original post. It turns out I was right.

What business is it of us how other members reply on here? Providing they are not abusive and attack others. I don't see what really is wrong with anyone saying that another is out of line. GMR can be as rude and arrogant as any of us, in his own way. QUOTE (HeatherW @ Nov 4 2010, 08:53 PM) By the way. Did I not read that you had put GMR on ‘ignore’? So how would you know if you can not read his posts? You can still see the poster, just not the text of the post. QUOTE (HeatherW @ Nov 4 2010, 08:53 PM) And while I am on the matter, is it not childish putting people on ‘ignore’? I don't see it does any harm, although I wouldn't put anyone on ignore. If they do something out of line; I'll just take the Mick out of them.

I have checked that thread and I haven't replied to myself. But as Heather said, how do you know seeing as you have me on 'ignore'? I've also caught you reading my posts, so I am not on ignore... you just prefer saying it to look big.
