ADMINISTRATOR HAT ON
Tombraider was not banned for this thread... he asked to have his account deleted.
I do not personally know what has brought this on and want Tombraider to have a chance to think about it (if anyone has any idea on the reasoning please PM me)... He was also deleting a lot of his threads which i feel are of use to the land rover community, Banning was a quick solution to stop anything rash happening.
Deleting his account is not reversable... a banning is.
i deleted the account.. he has asked to be deleted and he has been.
i can see the mans point of view but the response is all out of whack with the problem.
people that quote wholusbolus get up my nose as well because it just wastes resources over nothing but i dont think having a dummy spit achieves anything either...
he is a grown man, he can decide when to take his bat, ball and when not too, that is his perogative.
For Pete's sake....
Sometimes, I think the "Quote" button on forums plus the non-Internet savvy combined is an accident waiting to happen.Quote:

Oh no, now what's the matter with Pete.....:eek:Quote:

Hmm, dunno what "wholusbolus" means and not sure if it is in reference to any of my responses..which were quite plainly having a bit of a te ta te dig. Yes, some threads are pointless, I'm sure we all have posted up some pointless threads, I know I have :D. But like I said you have a choice to read or be involved with it. Who has the right to talk on anyone else's behalf?? Like other threads where people post " Hey Mods, please shut this down, cause they don't like the content or they are losing their arguement or perspective.
Dunno Tombie, seems like a reasonable bloke but for someone who made a point of saying if you dont like it Put on your big girls panties, then spits the dummy, is kinda hypocritical. I've had my share of butting heads in the past, been challenged on views, been targetted directly and vis a vis. Hence I would never have a break down over something that happened on here. We are supposed to be adults, just my opinion :),

I have no idea what everyone's problem is - why is everyone so damned sensitive? It's pretty scary in my opinion when people are too scared to voice their opinion in the fear of upsetting people. I rarely read anything offensive on this forum, yet people get so upset. I don't get it.:mad:
People shouldn't be petrified to put up posts which other people may not like. I thought general chat was just that, general chat. If you have a conversation with people face to face you don't get this sort of reaction. What gives?
Everyone has a right to react in whatever fashion they see fit
Obviously this cant be the only thing to see Tombraider pull up stumps
Its a damn shame that someone with so much to offer is gone
I for one have gotten a few tidbits of info from him and used them wisely
If for whatever reason people want to go its no one elses business
And lifes to short to waste over trials and tribulations on an internet forum
I like Landrovers very much its my prefered choice of 4x4
And for Tombraider to leave is his personal choice
Yes he will be missed and so will his wisdom
And for all those putting in there selfish comments grow up its a place
where adults should act rightly so (This isnt a playground for 2 year olds )
I know whats right and wrong and the way some members act is downright
boorish and rude
Its fair to have an objective point of veiw but theres no need to be an out n out AR5EHOLE now is there :mad:
