So I turn my back for a couple of days, and everyone goes mad

I am currently doing a mopping up job of the Splodge induced mess, and magically getting rid of a whole load of hot air from the forum!

RIBnet generally has a high ratio of relevant information versus blathering and I'd prefer to keep it that way . . .

Thanks for your help!

John

absolutley right,my words exactley,

A big warm welcome back old boy.

Richard B · 23 December 2002, 23:07

JK,

Much respect.

I remember that you used the term "benevolent autocracy" some time ago - (I reckon you've read the same menagement textbooks as me

)

Anyway - Legal, Decent Honest and Clean (Bet you can't remember where that's a quote from)

Cheers,
Rich.

I prefer "benevolent dictatorship" actually

John

Richard B · 23 December 2002, 23:25

In that case, even more respect due

Cheers, John.

I prefer "do what I bloody well say or get lost!". Means the same, sounds better!

OK, I've finished the clean up for now.

As Splodge deleted his later posts, the replies didn't make any sense so I deleted them too (and a few others that weren't adding anything). I've left most of his remaining posts intact as they show him up for the fool he is.

I have changed everyone's user permissions now to prevent posts being deleted (apart from by me of course Mwuh, huh, huh!) so if someone does go off on one in future they won't be able to remove the evidence. The user known as "Splodge " will find he is no longer able to post, and nor will anyone else on the same IP address.

Cheers
John

That's very blunt for you, Matt. The thing is that you have to dress bluntness up - the more that you want to tell someone to go forth and... the more you have to tell them that you've listened to their argument, understand it, but have come to the conclusion that after considerable thought, analysis and consideration of the evidence, that in conclusion your overall appreciation of the situation is that they should, indeed go forth and produce a race superior to that which spawned them.

And that from an Oldhamer!

narked · 23 December 2002, 23:52

"Do what I bloody well say or else!" is actually quite subtle for an Oldhamer! Usually it's "F**k off!" followed by a brick through the window.

My subtleness and tact was all used up in the "ribbing" thread, need to recharge.

John You have banned Manos,s Cat from this forum,I think you meant to ban Splodge,

Manos,s Cat is called Smudge.and it strongly denies it has caused any rumpus on this forum.

I believe its bin out the house all day.

Not sure about other forums though.

John Kennett · 24 December 2002, 00:08

I've fixed it now. As you can see, all mentions of Smudge have been magically erased. Like most of Splodge's posts.

John

Manos · 24 December 2002, 00:14

LOLOL

and I also think that Peper put it rather nicely just like a lawyer would.

I am very pleased that we are returning into a civilised community once again!!

crazyhorse · 24 December 2002, 00:19

just keep your cat under control next time Manos.

Crazyhorse

narked · 24 December 2002, 00:22

Ah, so you're an Oldhamer as well then Pepper! Didn't expect to find any other "pieheads" on this forum!
Which part of Oldham were you from? Hollinwood here.

You see, those riots we had the other year were nowt to do with racial tension, it was all about powerboats! Them what thought RIBs were pants versus those with common sense...

I regret for any inconvenience that SMUDGE may have caused to any one in this forum LOLOL

Tell you what I'll take a photo of this famous cat and post it one day LOL

Richard B · 24 December 2002, 00:23

i'm goin' to embarras you all now and tell you what a great bunch of guys you are.

Now, I know I shouldn't, but I've been sitting here for the last hour with a grin like a Cheshire cat. Couldn't help it. Tell you what, are we gonna have a good time in Plymouth or what???

crazyhorse · 24 December 2002, 00:29

Good night everybody,what a lough today has been.

See you all soon

Cheers Crazyhorse

Richard B · 24 December 2002, 00:34
