AnOther Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 [quote user="Chancer ex JR"]Now I can finally get rid of that annoying apostrophe in my user name, the only reason that I stubbornly held onto it was the knowledge that it wound him up and his inability to ask me to remove it in a civil way [6].[/quote]Err, still can't quote you with ( ) and J.R. so even harder now !

It is not good etiquette to discuss why a person has done something or said something in private to a moderator in open forum. Personally, and not as a moderator, I don't really think its on to discuss this issue when the person concerned is no longer a member of the forum, does not visit the forum (to the best of my knowledge) and can no longer reply. Actually I thing its a bit rude regardless of what any of you or I may, or may not, think of the person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Sorry Quillan.I take note and heed of your comments, my coment that you were covering for him was meant as a joke and was followed by a smilie. I didnt mean that you were covering up for him.I dont think that anyone is has actually been discussing the issue you speak of (what someone has done or said in private) quite the opposite.I do appreciate you confirming what has become of him as it was the reason that I started the thread.I have an idea, well stolen from Weedon actually, the next time I feel like belittling someone I can write in the 3rd party in memory of the ex-member that way his spirit can live on [6]It takes all sorts to make a world and I like the diversity of characters of all types on a forum.

woolybanana Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Actually Quillan, sorry to flog the dead donkey, but I have just reread the thread and find it rather a rather affectionate tribute to the absent poster, not rude, though tongue in cheek. But then without the cheek, there is no tongue to put it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baypond Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Yeh, I absolutely believe that we should all feel free to talk about the subject. What is the difference between talking about a current/ex-member and say Sarkosy or someone's next door neighbour. I find the whole subject quite fascinating and intriguing about anyone leaving a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 The problem is that very often when someone leaves the forum there are 'issues', not everyone is a fan etc. That can lead to some unfortunate comments so the rule is that we don't do it. That avoids unpleasantness and the moderators don't have to keep making judgements and editing threads (which just annoys everyone)Keep it simple [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Grumpy so liked commenting on articles on health and safety, especially those taken from the "Daily Wail". In tribute to him, they were called RAs.http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1392621/ShowPost.aspxHere is one such gem that I am sure he would have loved to have commented on:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1205437/Backwards-step-royal-defence-centuries-old-tradition-goes-fashion.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 You see what happens when the Alpha male leaves the pride, outbreaks of grumpiness from the most unexpected corners!All successfull soap operas (real life being the ultimate one) depend upon having a bad guy for their survival.For me the recent grumpiness whilst often offered in homage to RA fall far short of the mark and dont do justice to his memory [:)]; Lets face it, no-body does (did) it better than he.I miss him because I actually agreed with most of what he said (even about me!) and his unique style of delivery.There were times when I see what to me are outrageous things posted, usually someone blowing off steam, perhaps fueeled by red wine etc, me being a straight talker, if they were someone I knew I would tell them (privately) in no uncertain terms exactly what I thought of their views but not by posting on a forum or say sending a memo with a copy to everybody else.RA never had that inhibition, and he dared to say the things that often I was thinking.Could he not be tempted back, perhaps with the offer of a moderators hat? I think he would make a good poacher turned gamekeeper and could be used to keep the wanabee Grumpys in their place [6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 The thought of Grumpy as a moderator sent a chill down my spine, I must say.[6]Rather like inviting Dracula to spend a few nights in the Vestal Virgins Temple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
