nightrider Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 A friend of mine told me about this group so i checked it out and thought yes, might find out something useful regarding motorhoming. Little did i realise that it is akin to the Gaza Strip, i'm fully expecting a helicopter gunship to be hovering over my house, you can't say boo to a goose without being attacked from every quarter, I keep having to duck to avoid the bullets and flak, going to the army surplus shop tomorrow to by myself a tin hat.

nightrider Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Parkmoy, So according to your logic has any conflict or warlike activity past, present or future to be avoided or looked upon as a taboo subject? Do you take every written word in a situation such as this as being Gospel? do you think that what I said was to be taken literally? You ought to join ranks with another snapper on this forum, you would make a pair together. No names mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to move out of than the Gaza strip surely??

Sorry, sincere apologies given for any offence caused, hopefully they are accepted, can't do anymore than that apart from watching what I say in future.

LordThornber Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It's clear to me and doubtless many others on here that some folk enter onto or start threads purely to satisfy their own needs. By that I mean satisfying any of the following - being helpful, difficult, argumentative, considerate, obtuse. They're all in there. It's what makes us tick. I urge you to consider this for a minute though. How do you like to be perceived? Me, well I couldn't think of anything worse than being viewed in a negative light. To highlight this, a recent PM from someone who has never met me, (and probably never will), contained these words, "everyone knows you're one of the good guys on here". Don't get me wrong, I don't want to sound like a smug so and so but it's words like that, that for me show how I get my messages across on here. Respectfully and how I too like to be treated.

nightrider Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 parkmoy, You have had your say now let me have mine, you will have noticed in a couple of earlier posts where I held my hands up and admitted to making a boo boo, I also posted an unconditional apology to whoever may have been offended fortunately not all were offended. If that is not acceptable to you then there is nothing more that I can do. Are all your postings knowledgable, correct and proper? I dont think so, if this explanation is not good enough for you then I suggest you PM me, I have given an undertaking not to become embroiled in any slanging matches, you either accept or decline this post, but I think most members will get the gist of what I am saying.

parkmoy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Because you quoted J9's comment in your post I wrongly assumed you were apologizing to her alone and didn't realize you were referring to your original post. Had I realized this I would not have continued to post on the subject. Thank you for the apology and please accept mine for the misunderstanding.
