I have woken up shaking with cold and a temp, so looks like summer flue or similar. But because of my lungs it means hospital for check up and a scan and loads of antibiotics.
So I wouldn't have come anyway.
Copied from the Phono bake off thread.
Ha Ha!
To the best of my knowledge this is the third event you have flounced out of at the last minute in the last 12 months. A previous one you claimed to feel unwell and now apparently you have summer flu requiring hospital attention. Very coincidental and not believable because in both cases, regardless of your claim that you would need hospital attention, you have continued to post regularly on your forum during the period we all would expect you to be hospitalised. Now I and my daughter have been recent hospital inpatients, and the option to continue posting as you have would have never been available to us. Completely unrealistic. It is simply not feasible. So you're not doing this from your hospital bed, are you. Seeing as you are apparently so unwell, how do you find the energy to unreasonably challenge a member on your forum who appears to be trying to make peace, but you continue to be an arse towards him. Why? Also you need to get your logic sorted regarding the application of you ad hominem rule. Then again, you probably can't do that because your ad hominem is a feature in many of your posts both here and on your own forum.
Nick, I have no doubt that my posts of this nature pisses you and many others off, but nothing is being done about sorting the pollution problem some have brought here. I am well aware of several, what I regard as valued members, who have withdrawn their contribution because of these polluting members. I have no doubt that the quietness of the forum is much about members being pissed off with the whole situation and not wanting to visit in the current climate. Surely that is the opposite of what you wanted to happen a few moths ago when you felt things were getting a little slow and stale. Someone needs to challenge the unreasonable behaviour of these members. Isn't it time to get rid of them? You didn't have a problem dismissing Jammy, did you? Is there little wonder why these disruptive members are generally banned from forums elsewhere. Those forums in their absence work very well but were chaotic when they were members. Of course, to disconnect them would lead to a backlash of messages on HFS, but who cares. No one there or visiting takes the owner or his drone seriously. Good HFS members just overlook the politics and carry on. I have little doubt that there was no coincidence to the reemergence on AT of several historical members who had been quiet for some time. I suspect instigated by you and at the same time you reminded RD he was not banned here. RD has contributed positively here which I understand you see as signal, ignoring the noise. Problem is, his and his sychofant's offensive noise far exceeds any useful signal, because it has an overall negative effect and regulars then just stop contributing which leads to forum degradation which shouldn't and doesn't need to happen.
Now, you can dismiss my written views as you have done in the past if you want. as ever I bow to your super superior intelligence, but that intelligence does not necessarily apply a bit of good old fashioned common sense. Seems to me it is time for such an application.
