ok i typed this earlier before the thread got locked and still see it relevant so i reserve my right to still post, R if you think it wrong then please take it down
Right hmmm where do we start with this mess.....
First i will give my opinion... then answer your quotes Neil
My opinion and my perogative is this....
Neil and co have been needlessly hounded in this thread and some things have been said that just arent true or just very mean!!
I personally dont agree with what has been said, yes i make a little commment to MYSELF when i log onto new posts and see the same name as new poster on all of them but i dont visit half of those threads so i dont care, and the reason i dont visit is not because of these three, it is quite simply that i just think the threads are daft, i am too busy with littlun to get involved in those games, but all power to thse that do, i'm glad you all have fun.
In regards to personal comments, i dont really see any, i saw alot more from another couple when they first got together but nothing was said. As long as comments stay in off topic and relevant to the thread then i dont see the issue. I personally did post a 'so back to the topic' comment on a meat related article thread, because it was taken way off topic and i believe i was right to do so and make no apologies, however i wouldnt do that in the off topic threads as thats what they are for.
As far as i can see we only have one persons word that pm's have been flying around, nobody i have spoken to in the last 24hrs regarding this apparantly knows of anything being said behind the scenes so i find that a malicious comment personally as it can be said without providing any back up whatsoever.
so on to the relevant quotes to me...

"A lot of people"?
I mean, this is PRICELESS.
Just how many people are involved in this little behind the scenes community?

i'm sorry if i read that wrong but it looks like you have misread what i put...i meant that those who criticise you for having private convo's have been/are guilty af doing the same thing. I tried to refrain from saying but yes i guess i mean hypocrites. I personally know of no pm's flying around or any 'bitchin' i'm not saying it hasnt been happening, but i have no knowledge of it, and have only seen one person talking about this with no one backing it up.

Now this brings me nicely to the big "in joke" comments i've read.
Yes, we take the piss out of Steve on the forum.
This is not a very complex highly secret in joke that keeps everybody puzzled (and might I say i've seen a few of THOSE posted on the forums).
OK, here's the gag for those who never got onto it - now and again we post a random insult about him, or a remark about how to kill the fat ~~~~~~.
That's how simple that in JOKE is.
This is not the kind of in joke that is going to puzzle great minds is it?
Mentioning things said in PM's or on the phone, now THAT'S an in joke that excludes everybody else, and not the kind i'd post myself on a public forum.

Again not sure my post was read right, i was saying how i defined an in joke, iactually dont think anything i've read from you guys fit that description however many other occasions from others do.

Thanks Anji, I knew I liked you for some reason

To be brutally honest as other people seem to be, i actually mean less than too many to mention, was just trying to be polite lol

maybe thats because not everyone agrees.

You have no right to post things other people have said to you but also because you cannot back it up without those people coming forward in which case you need not say anything, in this case i can see how it comes accross as spiteful.
