Title: August 10th
Post by: Highlander on August 10, 2018, 09:59:16 AM
August 10th was a "significant" (can think of another word) date on CBF in the past.

Just for fun and without looking back have a guess as to why.  :)  :)  :)

No sorry.

I'm beginning to think it's too obscure even with the clue (member's post)

I'll leave it for a wee while yet.

Gosh im intrigued to know! Il hazard a guess and ask was it the date Keith said that CBF was to be read-only whilst he decided its future?

Blimey. That answer was tongue in cheek. I really thought that it was that the weather in Calis reached 50+*.

She's certainly looking fit now that she hasn't got the burden of CBF to carry. Fit as a vegan's dog !

Sorry Highlander, but it was your original post here that brought the subject of JH up in the first place.  I appreciate it was probably a bit of fun on your part and you didn't expect it to escalate the way it did.  But I stand by my comments.  For a woman her age to act like a 12 year old and block people on FB just because she doesn't like what they say is pathetic.  She shouldn't post on any forum if she can't take some flak.  If anyone wants to know why she blocked me I will tell you but I can assure you my comments were not in any way rude, patronising or abusive in any way.  I don't make posts like that,  I was merely making a point which she didn't like.

Disappointing.  Really?
Did you read some of her obnoxious posts to other members on here? Some of them you claim to be very good friends with.

The woman is vile, a keyboard warrior who thinks nothing of belittling people and making others feel small.  An excuse for a human being and I'm surprised your disappointed John.  I wonder if you'd feel the same had Brenda ever been on the receiving end of her vicious tongue.
I make no apologies for my post, most folks on here know my feelings.  The only difference between us is that I don't need to be half drunk behind a keyboard to say it
You started this thread John.  Please don't expect me to believe that you didn't know exactly how it would turn out.

To be honest I didn't read any bad stuff she had wrote on here, but I did see some people being mean to her. Maybe, they had reason to as she had been mean to her in the past, who knows.  : :)

What did you expect?

Personally speaking, I'm not sure what your motive was in starting this topic, "just for fun" doesn't cut it with me.

I honestly can't think of a topic like this ever on CBF, one basically designed to stir the sh1t over an existing member of CBF, so please don't complain that some posts are "disappointing" when you knew full well what many members reaction would be to your little quiz. 

Did you do it just so you could "be offended" at the resulting responses?  I'm sure folks would love to know.

JH is still a member of CBF and can resume posting whenever she wants - although its unlikely given the circumstances of her self imposed exile from CBF.
 
Anne is correct, maybe you wouldn't have been so quick to remind everyone of her if your wife had been on the receiving end of her vitriol, as Colwyn was on more than one occasion.

Am I the only one who wonders what a new or prospective member of this forum would make of this thread?

I imaglne that they would be horrified and possibly never come back. In these days of decreased traffic to the forum I would have thought this is not the best advert.

I am not saying that there is no place for robust debate but this has gone beyond that.

I am especially uneasy that a couple of moderators have also joined in when I was under the impression that they are supposed to be impartial.

Moderators (and Admins) are allowed opinions on CBF, just the same as any other member.

I suspect Keith has left this topic open to give Highlander the right to reply, he then may, or may not, consign it to the waste bucket and I agree with you, that is where it ultimately belongs.

Being a moderator did not prevent us from abuse by a certain member so why should we not be allowed to voice our opinions too?

I will grant you that my post wasn't a nice one, but, that is me.  I say it exactly how I see it be it on here or in person.  So, you takes me or you leaves me   :)

 I would also point out that Highlander has been on the forum, and, no doubt read all of these replies but has decided for reasons unknown not to comment further which I find a bit strange considering he started this thread. 

I agree with John, it's time to lock it up and put it to bed as it was in very bad taste in the first place

A couple of points then I will indeed stick this in the bucket...

1. I am aware that JH isn't some people's favourite person but one thing she certainly doesn't need is anyone fighting her corner. She is not banned, she has not told me she has left CBF, nor have I asked if she has, and she has not contacted me in regard to anything on here, even though we are in touch and always have been, on Messenger etc. She is free to reply and has chosen not to (assuming she knows about the topic).

2. It is only open still to allow that right to respond and maybe Highlander to do likewise - as it isn't likely I will lock it after this reply.

3. I don't see our role as admins/moderators to lock topics we don't like or don't agree with. You can see from many local Fethiye groups the amount of locked topics and opinions shut down there can be - our lock percentage is tiny and a very last resort.

4. I have never claimed or suggested in any way that admins and mods are impartial. Far from it, I actively looked for strong personalities with strong opinions to join the team. I simply cannot see how having a team that don't have opinions (or have opinions they can't share) would ever work on a discussion forum.

Ok so, all that needed to be said appears to have been said so the forum that rarely locks is now locking this topic.

Be nice - rip lumps out of each other but do it with respect, class and panache   ;)
