What on Earth

is happening to this forum?

Some bloke made a rather bizare posting and everyone is on him like a pack of wild dogs.I accept his posting was provocative but the back biting going on is shameful.Are basic good manners a thing of the past and are these recent threads representative of the motorhoming community?

I read this forum to see what people like Brian Kirby and Mel E have to say as they know what they are talking about.I do not read it for posts of a bullying nature.

Has anyone considered this person may be having a breakdown?

Hi AW

I take it you are referring to the recent posts I made?

 

It would seem that they are very "clicky" and clever, woe betide anyone who tries to upset their little circle of friends an as you can read that is the result, replying with little remarks and digs, but I have broad shoulders so it doesn,t bother me.

 

As of yet they haven,t offered to meet me and discus it face to face so I just let them carry on, whilst they are having a go at me then they are leaving everyone else alone.

Finally, I do appreciate that my grammar and punctuation probably isn,t up to scratch but you get the jist .

Hi Alan,

 

I assume you are referring to the "A-Frame 3" thread started by JGG yesterday.

I will do my best to respond personally to your post in a reasoned and un-emotional way.

 

Your points are well-made, and unless you are aware of the very extensive background I can understand exactly your surprise.

 

I think frankly that yesterday was just final breaking point for a large number of us in the face of what many members had endured from JGG for a long time now: a very long long list of nasty, personally insulting and offensive posts, directed at a number of other long-term members; and I think there was simply a common reaction from everyone that it really was time that JGG got a big dose of the same medicine he'd been dishing out to many of the long-term members over many moons.

 

I am a relatively new member here, but have been advised in great detail of the long history of the feuding that led up to yesterday. I have also read myself a large number of the offensive and threatening JGG postings in question and personally agree that they have been disgraceful. I would have been hopping mad if his venom had been directed at me for month after month.

 

I hold my hand up here as one of the people involved in putting-down JGG yesterday evening.

In my personal defence, I would say that I do not know the chap, and have not previously counter-attacked him on any of his offensive postings to other members at all.

 

But when last night he started to to have a go at me personally too, I think he discovered that my defensive mettle is substantial.

 

It is to be fervently hoped that now the blowing off of pent-up steam has taken place, that both "sides" can reflect, and return to posting positive, helpful, and civil communications.

I find this forum to be generally a really friendly and informative place - I will continue to do my bit to contribute to that.

 

Cheers,

 

Bruce.

Regular readers wil note that there are posts in which I never take part, either because I have no interest in them but usually because I have nothing to add, being totally ignorant of the (mainly technical) topic.

The 'A Frames' was one such post. I have no intention of ever towing a vehicle behind a motorhome, to me it seems the height of folly, but each to his own.

This thread has prompted me to read the 'A Frames' one for the first time and I'm very surprised to find that people have these terrible arguments.

What is the world coming to? By the way, is Jen's Grumpy Git the same as Old Git who was on here recently. He was an obnoxious bugger if you didn't agree with him.

perceived quality is not quality at all. in a motorhome its what you dont see that matters in structural integrity and weight - all a measure of good design not eye candy....

 

a vehicle driven at is max or above can be a dangerous beast. with poor handling, braking and fuel consumption. particularly ones with large overhangs which can also stress the rear axle to capacity.

 

 

A stroppy attitude which was noted by Clive who replied:

 

"Masseur" is rubbing people up the wrong way.

 

I think that this was my first or second post and from that day on they all came out of the woodwork, what the hell do you expect?

 

Oh and to answer some questions posted lat night after I turned my PC off, no, my mum didn't tell me to go to bed, I did however go to bed as I had 5000 bricks to lay today.

 

So come on then bring it on again, even those of you who I have never corresponded with before, line up.

As for now being quoted out of context all I will say is, what is objectionable or insulting in what i have said above? And I thought I was being helpful! All said was simply a personal opinion about vehicle design and road worthiness nothing more? maybe a little to frank for this paranoid individuals sensibilities.

 

Back on topic

 

Afraid AW you have stumbled onto the tip of an iceberg, and are commenting on something that you have not looked into the history off.

 

It is horrible to kick a man when he is down but in JGG case I will make an exception as he is one piece of work....

 

Quote JGG: “Hi AW, I take it you are referring to the recent posts I made?”

 

More evidence of delusions of grandeur and self importance, from this opinionated and nasty individual

 

Quote JGG; “It would seem that they are very "clicky" and clever, woe betide anyone who tries to upset their little circle of friends”

 

Further evidence of a paranoid personality, we are now a secret society as well as all being old? lol and mind readers as well..... The irony being he has mind read all off our ages? While he is apparently a young and strong bricklayer we are all old and infirm! Lol

 

Quote JGG: “but I have broad shoulders so it doesn,t bother me. “

 

Ah, but it does, and as for the broad shoulders – he removed his hunk avatar so we will never know but he defiantly has a thick skin.

 

Quote JGG: “As of yet they haven,t offered to meet me and discus it face to face”

 

A signature position from him, he specialises in veiled threat. When he recently offered the good ladies on here to a face to face at York (after personally insulting them all in a disgusting manner) He failed to show his face even though he was at the show, the gutless wonder that he is

 

Quote JGG: “so I just let them carry on,”

 

As if he has a choice lol Delusions of grandeur yet again. From a misogistic, ageist, paranoid and hateful man.

 

There is a developing school of thought on here, that as he pertains to have 20 years motor homing experience, and then exhibits a total lack of knowledge or understanding on the subject that he is in fact a 12 year old boy, dabbling under the covers on his mums laptop. His nasty outbursts are possibly those of a boy, but totally unacceptable behavior from a grown man.

 

The jury’s out on this one, but I for one find him beyond redemption and would love to pass sentence.....:-D

 

was prepared to forgive and forget - but you would not let it lie would you? ;-)

Pass sentence?? Who in God's name do you think are ?

I have never had the misfortune to read such inane drivvel. Do you always suffer from verbal diorreah (oops! Spelt that won rong)

You keep going on and on and on and on and on and on about same old crap.

Give it a rest

Can you really lay 5000 bricks a day? In a straight line? If so then I am really impressed, I've known a good few brickies in my time and the best was good for 1200 a day to a standard line!

 

As for not wanting to meet with you I was at York, you failed to show! My website address is available at the orange WWW button under my avatar. if you can find it you will find my work address and you are welcome to turn up for a "chat" if you desire although I would ask that you phone first to make sure I'll be there as I do occasionally have to pop out to collect stuff.

Come on folks! Jen's Grumpy Git serves at least one useful purpose. He makes me look like an cuddly little angel (hence my avatar).

The question that really intrigues me though is this: Surely there can't actually be a Jen? I bet it's his imaginary girlfriend!

Did he call me gay? Honestly, I can't remember. I must look up the thread and then have a go at him.

Anyway, must go now as Herbert, my wife, is shouting that supper's ready.

God no! It's far more interesting than flipping A Frames, whatever they are?

Hi Alan -

 

It would seem from the responses in this thread that your questions have been answered - I'm not sure if that's good or bad news though.

 

Cheers,

 

Bruce.

Why do some of you bother to reply to those who try insulting others. Just ignore them and keep strictly to Motorhomes and technical comments. For that's what I thought it was all about.

 

I've had a Motorhome for 2yrs now and learned a lot from what others have supplied on this forum.

 

The time has now arrived when I can offer some feedback to others from what I've learned.

 

You're all as bad as each other and pretty childish in my opinion regarding sending rude comments and inuendoes while hiding behind a screen, I'm surprised you're not removed by the administator.

 

The CB Radio was ruined by those who insulted others. Take note.

 

I thought originaly this would be a sensible forum, I'm now on the point of departing for good.

You are right, if no one responded, the aggressive posters would go away. My brother would never argue, he would just smile and shrug his shoulders, made the other guy so P***ed off.

 

My first wife we never rowed, my current wife, Michelle we have a bull and cow (heated debate) most days. The first marriage lasted 5 years this one 11 and still going strong.(lol)

 

You can only read and respond to how to link two batteries to-gether so many times.

As long as everyone abides by Queensbury Rules it can be good to watch a boxing match, or even take part if need be. ;-)
