Sorry for not replying earlier, but just spent over 6 hours in A&E with Laura, who's health is pretty shit at the moment.

Little point in going over old ground, but as others have, I gave Daz a short ban for breaking the rule about abusing other members which I felt abused his moderator position,  which he took offence over.  If he had problems with her prior behavior, he had ample opportunity to do something about it.  For the record, she never saw mod chat, she was obviously aware there was a discussion in it (she asked what I was typing, and I said replying to n, about xyz), but never saw it.  That was a lie, and I do wonder how you came to that conclusion.

As for the meets, given she is banned, and received a lot of hostile comments on here, why would she want to attend a meet, which is a great shame as we as a family have attended every big meet since the start of OOF.

We used to sit on OOF together of an evening, and have a laugh, as she is no longer welcome, we dont, and consequently I don't do that on my own, we do other things instead.

I feel some infantile behavior in the name of humour has pissed off a lot of people to not posting, and also not posting for fear of the replies from some.  A view I have found is shared by some members I have talked to privately.

Yes some of the 'spirit of oof' died when people started charging for work, but I also feel this was a necessary change due to both economic circumstances and to avoid piss taking.
This has had the knock on effect of not teaching 'newbies' as much as happened in days of old.
When I joined the forum, I couldn't even do an oil change, the forum, and some members in particular were really helpful in teaching me, so I can now do most tasks.  This is very rarely seen now (webby being an exception) as the advice is always 'contact one of these to do it for you....'
That said, the advice is all still there in the forum of the excellent maintenance guides, for which I thank all the contributors.

Which was what exactly?

Being deliberately provocative to invoke a response...as you have stated yourself on previous occasions...but I will not be drawn into this again now.

Ok, so can you explain what the difference is then of say me typing "Boring" and "Y awn" and Laura?

Well now that Nickbat has totally humiliated me I'm off, toys out of the pram, spitting the dummy and hitting the delete button!! 

But before I do......

I think the thing about cliques forming is that it is bound to happen when members meet face to face and start to socialise outside of OOF and strike up genuine friendships in the real world.  There's nothing wrong with that.... I've never met anyone from OOF so you're all just names to me!  but you can still form impressions about people.... Nickbat should get out more for example!! 

The thing is about friendships is that they can be as easily broken as built in the first place and if they can't be fixed, then it's time to move on and get on with life.... 

I said yesterday that I find the 'Woe is me' type thread tedious and I tend not to read them, but what I have noticed is that there is a wave of compassion in response from other members, most of which are unknown outside of OOF and I hope that the OPs in these threads get comfort from this!!    I think this shows the quality of the membership here as I've never noticed any idiotic or nasty comments on this type of thread, which I believe is common on other forums/chatrooms/social networking sites!! 

In conclusion, Nickbat is right and he wouldn't be the first to call me insensitive, although that charge usually comes from the opposite sex and is often accompanied by the adjective describing a person with no father...    I'd also like to apologise to Nickbat for not eating his goat.... What a waste of a young life!!!

This is like a rather WI meeting, only more feminine.


Things change, people change, relationships change.


So, like an old couple who have been together too long, we either put up with each other or get a divorce.

Does this really have to be brought up again. If it does wouldn't PM, email or a phone call be better

I agree,this has no place here,down to the individuals involved to sort out it out privately.I'm just sad that there is obviously still bad feelings present
