Is B-A-S exercising his speedos on a beach in Torremolinos?

Surely if there was something wrong with it then any messages "quoting" it would also have been removed?

Looks like Johnmelad has faked it.

They often don't seem to think of that. It's a bit like the infamous Holmslaw posts. Although he religiously turned all his posts to ".." before he vanished, many of his mutterings live on as quotes in other people's posts!

If he had, I don't think I would have seen the original!

no, he doen't deny it. He's been careful to use the words "if" and "looks like" to attempt to convey an impression without actually lying.

Maybe, but whatever you call it, he's just making a fool of himself, for no apparent purpose. It's a great pity to see him behaving like this in a thread which, despite what one might expect, started off with a fair bit of concern about, and 'support' for, him.

That's different - that was his choice.

And that impression is....?

I probably should have written "Looks like Johnmelad could have faked it".

The problem is that apart from memories, there is no proof that I did write it.

I can't remember what else I wrote, I can't be sure, and neither can anybody else, that Johnmelad hasn't taken something out of context.

If the mods deem that a post is unacceptable, and remove it, then they should be duty bound to also remove any quotes. People find it easy to misconstrue what gets written, and some, like Johnmelad, delight in doing it willfully because they aren't happy unless they are taking a pop at me.

I strongly suspect that 'his choice' would have included removal of all the quotes from his posts in other people's ones - but he obviously didn't have a means of editing other people's posts! Whatever, I was merely pointing out that the bottom line of what we're seeing here (original post removed or edited-out, but quotes from that message persisting in other people's posts) is not an unknown phenomenon.

I'm not - and the purpose is to show what a mess we end up with when the Mods can't be rsed to do their job properly.

This sort of concern and support, from someone who it now seems is also a religious bigot:

The course he needs is - How to interact without; abuse, belittling and offending.

BAS will be along shortly to claim he does none of the above.

A bit like Muslims claiming their religion one of peace and tolerance. :roll:
I can do without.

Excuse me, but where did I show any concern or support for you?

Yet another lie from BAS. Shame on you. :P
 
I thought he was trying to avoid lying, hence not denying that he said whatever it was, just being evasive?
 
Dunno what you're trying to prove here, Ban.

I've put my foot in it big time and been man enough to admit it and apologise.

Don't know why it's such a big deal for you.

You said it, many of us clocked it, one of us quoted it, none of us have made it up.

Just because you can't remember writing it does not mean you didn't.

We're back to that alcohol again, aren't we? :wink:
 
MOD 8 - will you therefore PLEASE do something about the abusive posts from Johnmelad.

I will NOT tolerate his false accusations of lying - that is, by orders of magnitude, the worst abuse possible.
