Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Manuel,

" though i very much hope not for, except when he gets very silly indeed, he is a much valued and valuable contributor especially on his CHARTS thread"


Do you know I sometimes think the same about you!


Do you think we should start a thread "SAVE GF" or "COME BACK GF"!

given that MAM is dependent (i can spell it correctly!) upon its contributors, it could surely do no harm to lobby ian etc, perhaps privately rather than openly

for sure GF was a total fool unto himself by allowing himself to get embroiled in personal feud, and he'll most assuredly need to mend his ways (count to 20 before posting polemic!?) if he is allowed back .... there will certainly be several who will still attempt to goad him into indiscretion

though he assuredly broke "the rules", as far as i know, this is the first occasion when he has been deemed to have taken a step too far, so i very much hope he will be forgiven

meanwhile, there are certainly suspicions that the odd newbie is actually a banishee in another guise ..... not that that perturbs me greatly

I was away on Fri/Sat so missed what happend, but thought he was only sin binned wasn't he?

ask ian ..... i'm sure he'ld take your phone call

Do you consider the above is beneficial in negotiating and the latter part referring to any one in particular.

Napoleon,

P. Off.

Free the MAM two!


Power to the people!!

you loved your post so much, you posted twice!
it is not for me to dictate how you might or might not tackle this issue

as it happens, ian already knows my view

LOL!!! The guys a complete fruit loop, good riddance imo.

you're fully entitled to your opinion, though i suspect you never bothered to read GF's excellent Charts thread

I did actually cynic and I have stated many times that his stock picking was very good that has never been an issue. His attitude to other posters who disagreed with him is, was the problem imo. Trashing threads and throwing his dolly out the pram is in black and white for all to see. I can live without him can you?

I learnt a bit from GF when i first came on MAM ,he's right on calls a lot more than he's wrong .

I just can never see the point of any argument on the net if you can't end up punching some ones lights out it will end up being quite frustrating .

He did go a bit strange the last few months Chris and that's odd because he had a wise head on him where markets are concerned ..

Agreed jimmy.

Is that GF's wise head or punching some ones lights out ?

Chris - i even learnt to live without my mother :-)

GF's strengths and constructive contributions are here for all to see, and an awful lot of work went into that Chart thread too

unfortunately, he is also far too easily goaded into silliness, but i would hope that he can readily learn to ignore and avoid that sort of nonsense

personally, i think his research and thoughtful contributions far outweigh the negatives, and that a yellow card will thus be deemed sufficient

Both :0)

Maybe we should try and get him re instated

This is a matter for Fishfinger and Doods to sort out privately between themselves and with Mike and Ian. This isn't anything to do with anybody else whatsoever.

Both Mike and Ian are reasonable guys, and they won't have taken the decision to turf the pair of them off the board lightly. I'm sure they'll be happy to speak to both Fishfinger and Doods if they bother to get in touch. But, if I were either Mike or Ian, I'd be pretty p!ssed off if I had cyners (or any other poster) ringing me up, interfering in something that wasn't my business, and trying to discuss the matter in general. Sorry, cyners, nothing personal, but I would've thought your intervention would go down like a pork sausage at a bar mitzvah.

And, fwiw, I'm sorry to see the pair of them booted off. Aside from looking upon Fishfinger as my personal plaything who I could tease at the drop of a hat, he was a valuable contributor to the forum and his contentious and confrontational approach made for good viewing. I fear the number of posts on both this and other threads will significantly tail off in his absence.

if that shot was related to the golf match, then stoke poges gc was then a lovely if rather decrepit location
