--- Quote from: "V8MoneyPit" ---What I am trying to say (in an appalingly round the houses way!) is that the repeated posts are not a personal dig necessarily, but caused by people not reading the 'instructions'.

Ah, but Steve... in this particular case.. and the last straw for me is that these *were* personal digs that called into question my honesty, integrity and commitment to the club.. and I'm not going to sit around when that happens.

Ah, well, in that case I whole heartedly back you up in your comments. As I said, I wasn't aware of the posts you referred to and, being a believer in good human nature, I was hoping it was just an error on the part of the person placing the OP. It is a shame that, in all walks of life, there are always a few who spoil it for the majority.
Keep up the excellent work, Tim. You and the rest of the team are greatly appreciated by the vast majority of MC as this thread testifies.

Has it been deleted, or has the culprit had the sense to remove it themselves?

In a horribly ironic set of circumstances (there you are Gords... I found a good example ;-)) the thread in question got eaten by the same fault... it seems to be worst on threads which are very active... and as you can imagine.. that one was !

It's hard to say this without sounding insincere, but it has to be said. Messages like this are always gratifying, but I need to make it absolutely clear... I cannot accept any such praise for myself... I am only one of a group of people who puts a lot of effort into keeping the thing together, and it would be wrong of me to allow anyone to get any other impression.
We all owe our thanks to the team of people responsible for "running" the club... and that group of people owes thanks to the "normal" (and I use the word cautiously) members who contribute in their own ways.
There is some terribly cliche'd saying about bad circumstances bringing out the best in people... and it always seems to be true of Mud-Club. I hope we can take this opportunity to realise what we all have, and look after it as we take it forward to greater things.

Aw no, you can't stop doing this truly excellent site - I've only just got here and I'm enjoying myself soooooooo much.
Nobody apart from yourselves appreciate what you do but everybody here likes what you do or they'd not be here.
The time to worry is when no-one complains because they've all gone elsewhere as the content was pants.
Treat it as constructive criticism guys, after all you can choose how you want to react to your emotions... aint no-one as can do that for you.
If you need help, just shout up - I'm especially knowledgeable about GPS stuff (allegedly, maybe and perhaps) so I'll hang around that forum and see if can put something useful in. :wink: I "own" a GPS forum and contribute to two more so I know the work you guys are doing and I know the abuse that gets hurled at you. Surprisingly, these same people are ALWAYS the ones to NEVER actually help in any way.

I know what you are getting at, but this was neither constructive or critical.. it was an outright accusation which was false, which is why I responded the way I did.... I chose to respond that way because I don't believe that anyone should have to stand by and take it.
Time to move on....

And you probably are right, Tim, but at the end of the day, 99% of the people in this forums will know how to read into things, and probably almost all of those 99% will not argue your position, so why bother with the other 1%?
You can't please everybody, and you normally end up leaking off everyone if you try, so as I said before, if they are not happy, sod them. They can go and try other clubs/forums/clans, and see if they take their antics in the same civilized manner I have always seen the mods and admins in this forums behave.
