Well, if I am not mistaken, you confront me because you can.

If you don't wish to confront the likes of robbie carrobie, Grampy Bobby, Startreader, Suzianne and GHOST HUNTER, then you should not feel there's any obligation to do so.

Confront those you choose to confront. Treat others as you'd wish to be treated yourself. Call things how you see them. These are good rules of thumb.

I confront you because you have been one of the most vocal people in here in regards to towards my thoughts on various topics. You say I am entitled to have them, but then you proceed to question them relentlessly. You do not respond to people. You interrogate them. (Have we not had this discussion before? 😉 )

I am not on here nearly as much as you. Not even close. I have a whopping 44 pages. You have close to 500.

My general rule is to stay out of the daily grind of in-house fighting. But if something jumps out at me, I will call a spade a spade.

Most of the time I keep my mouth shut and let people fight their own battles.
I don't generally like to speak on behalf of other people.

The people you have mentioned...I have had little, if any, interaction with them.

Suzianne has only been kind to me. You guys have a history - and I am not a part of it.
Robbie - JW arguments, clan issues...no clue...I move on....

Some of the others are pretty new and I have not been on all that much to interact with them.
If I see page after page of arguing, I move along...I can't be bothered.

I am consistent. Are you?

Am I consistent in terms of what I explained about my attitude and approach in my post further up this page that starts with "Yes you are wrong. If Grampy Bobby posted like Seitse ..."? Then, yes, I believe I am.

edit: in fact, it's my second post on the previous page.

So you personally don't believe that Grampy Bobby used some privately divulged information about Seitse's health to score a cheap point in a forum dispute a couple of months ago? And you also believe I was flat out lying about that incident prior to me apologizing for not being able to provide a link? Just to be clear.

Interesting edit of my sentence there, Grampy Bobby. You deliberately lopped off the first six words and did not quote it as the question it was. 😕

Here is the quotation not tampered with by you:

"So you personally don't believe that Grampy Bobby used some privately divulged information about Seitse's health to score a cheap point in a forum dispute a couple of months ago?"

Not the same thing is it? Shame on you.

I have already apologized for not being able to produce a link/thread/page number. I did so on page 3 Thread 167386.

You pick your fights, obviously. And that is your prerogative You seem happy enough to generate page after page of arguing with me. With most Seitse threads, I can't be bothered.

Just a bunch of fluff in my opinion that is actually quite "daft" 😉

"Sounds good on paper" as they say....

I see hypocrisy in almost every thread by the same few posters who hope to dominate and belittle the others, prove that they are right, and disintegrate every decent thread. It is a real shame that people from different parts of the world cannot treat one another better - with more respect and kindness.

What a missed opportunity...

Don't you see any hypocrisy in yourself for not tackling "the same few posters who hope to dominate and belittle the others, prove that they are right, and disintegrate every decent thread" when... what? Ah yes... when they are defending [in their own peculiarly raw and abusive way] Grampy Bobby?

How many times have you (and others) done the very same thing?
It's called "cherry picking"...

Seriously?

Well, add this to your list of GB grievances 😉

This retort to what I have said is not of the same calibre as the straight ahead way I have tried to respond to your questions and observations.

How many times have I tampered with a 'quotation' of words used by Grampy Bobby? Never. About a year and a half ago, I think, I once put a couple of words in quotation marks that should have been in inverted commas but it did not misrepresent the meaning of what he had said. I have never left words out and disguised the fact that a phrase was part of a question in order to score a point.

Ummmm, I actually work and have a family...

What you describe is a full time job. lol

I have tackled a few, but it brings me no joy and it gets old and tedious - for me & the poor innocent people reading it....

Good night, FMF.
We disagree, as usual 🙂

I just wanted to beat you to using the word "daft" 😀

So do I. This is petty and pointless condescension. Even weaker than comparing chess ratings. 😞

Certainly the way he has quoted you here is more outrageous, offensive and inexcusable than Seitse's behavior.

I suggest that you add it to your "GB Grievances" list and then brief Dive tomorrow?

You two can decide on the proper course of action after you examine the situation for 4 weeks 😛
