Hmmmmm, interesting how this has turned into another dodgyfest even though that subject is covered in other posts. Has my post been high jacked?? Maybe I should ask a moderator…..oh wait a minute.

Seems like some people are obsessed with Dodgy and maybe that’s the problem, the obsession is dictating how others are treated.

If he’s broken the AUP and been treated fairly then I’m sure people won’t have a problem.

The people I spoke to in the bar were as mentioned in the original post were a group of ladies; they were not upset regards Dodgy, rather the way they were treated when mentioning any subject relating to Dodgy. I think the phrase “is the forum becoming a little boys club” (and I’ve toned that down) was said.

When people mention respect and common decency, don’t you think it’s completely disrespectful to then tell a disgruntled lady to “get back in the Kitchen” even if it’s said with a smiley face?
Is it respectful or decent to post the contents of a PM?
I did not want to drag this back up again but since Reborn mentioned it (sorry Reborn) “dubious” comments made several months ago when there was friction with the club management were allowed to stand. I wonder why?

I’m not sure why GH feels the need to say he hasn’t done anything illegal, have you forgot to renew your tax disc?

I could pick every line out of comments made and give a response but that would go on and on and just bore everyone including myself. This could become very destructive and that was definitely not the intention of the original post.

I still think that Dodgy’s post regards sponsorship was open to interpretation and some people chose that which suited their agenda.

Incidentally, is an argument defined as when someone disagrees with you and a debate defined as when you disagree with someone else?

I think some people need to take a very large chill pill.

Oh, it will be a close game tonight and will depend on who has most players sent to the bin.

Was it quiz night last night?

You must have broken the very large chill pill into smaller pieces cos it isn't working yet.

Well to add my twopenneth...

I admire Dodgy for his fundraising efforts. As far as him posting about this on the website, I can honestly say I have no real opinion on it. Woud I want him to ask me and others why we didn't sponsor him? No. I give money to several charities as it is and I will choose the charities at my own discretion. If someone on this board has been subject to Dodgy questioning them, then I agree that is wrong.

As for Bakewell tart comments, obviously everyone has a different opinion on most things, this topic being one of them. The problem is that GW and the other moderators are of the same opinion and that of the administrators above them, as they are following the AUP. They did not
write it but still have to enforce it, otherwise these forums would be chaos.

So like it or not the stance they have taken is believed to be the right one.

So you can either get over it, agree to differ and concentrate on supporting the team. Or you can all continue this farce and ultimately a losing battle. For whats its worth I agree with GW/ AJ over these matters and beieve they have taken the right steps.

You are entitled to your opinion Jeronimo, in the same way that I am entitled to mine.

I don't believe Dodgy asked anyone why they were not sponsoring him. Someone chose to interpret it that way.

I have no problem with the AUP, the whole principle that I am standing up for is fairness. If I see something that I believe is wrong should I just ignore it? You don't ever improve anything if you carry on regardless and that includes the law.

If this thread has devolved into a farce its because of the way people have chosen to reply. That was not the original intention of the post.

If you sweep things under the carpet you just end up with a lumpy carpet!

I don't think Jeronimo was specifically referring to this thread, I think he means the ongoing recycling of the Dodgy subject.

Which, quite frankly, is a farce.

If its becoming a farce its because people are letting it drift that way.

How you treat Dodgy is up to you, he's a big boy he can look after himself.

What concerned me is the fallout and the apparent way that moderate minded people were treated unfairly just because they mentioned the wrong word.

I was indeed referring to the whole Dodgy situation. I feel Dodgy does his level best to start most of the 'farcical' goings on. As for the people being treated unfairly for saying the word Dodgy or having a thread on Dodgy. Dodgy opened a thread and commented on a thread(s) that broke the AUP. So for Bakewell Tart to log on and promote the same subject, surely that also cannot be right. For others to say that they have been treated unfairly, maybe they need to look at who srated off the wrong doings on this forum, not GW or AJ. Dodgy himself...
