Thread: I'll just get the last word in.

Jake, did you read the PM from UBeaut?

And for the record, my response was written as I didn't believe you had read my post. I had hoped you would read my post then perhaps remove yours.

I dont usually reply to these sorts of posts but.........

Jake, no one wants to see you go, your posts are very informative and awaited by all the members, me included.

This thread wont be deleted or locked as you say, and the other members can reply to it as they see fit.

Al

Hope you stick around Jake.
As I see it, there has been way too much aggro on the board... Mods and Admins getting a caning, members getting a caning.... just a dirty and stupid situation that seems beyond everyones control to make good.

You seem to have been caught up in the mix.
Stick around, the forum is a better place for your presence.

If you do sod off, don't you dare do it without sending me your email addy... you are too much of an interesting and valuable bloke to disappear into the crowd.

All the best.....

We need more calm.

ditto to Al and Clinton

Hang in there Jake.

But as one last plea for some semblance of sanity common sense and maturity..............

Ups 'n' downs, mostly calm. Just like the tides. I wish the United Nations could be more like this forum. Please stick around, Jake.

Ummmmmm...

There is something new posted in Eat your hearts out, fellow shed-dwellers!

I go away for a bit of a breakover Easter and find all heck breaking loose and Jake threatening to chuck the toys out of the cot....Sheesh

Clearly everyone has different levels of tolerance towards almost everything and drivel is no different. But if the "war on drivel" has the consequence that someone like Jake is selected as undesirable, then like other "wars on...", you have to look at how well founded it is.

I still think that the reaction to the Friday (and other) drivel was excessive, but, even if it was, the proposed solution was sensible and even-handed. So it should be a non-issue.

Let's just get on with living under the new rules, but - plea to mods and admins - please exercise discretion and caucus among yourselves before jumping on a casual driveller - it may not be drivel at all or may not be as drivelly as you think it is.

And Jake - I hope that when you cool down you decide that these forums are a good place to be and continue to contribute. If not, I join the others in saying that I will miss you and I would like to keep in touch with your experiments some other way.

Ok Guys, all of you....please
Let it go...

Just for the record.

Stuart. has been suspended over this unfortunate incident.

So please guys.

No one is a winner, no one is a loser here.

To answer Jake's question - friday drivel was/is a thread in which a group of like-minded drivellers pretend to be working but are just shooting the breeze and pretending that they are coming and going from an imaginary pub. The conversation is a bit like what happens when a bunch of friends meet at a pub - jokes, personal lines and bad puns as well as good-natured badinage, as well as some discussion of things that they all like (in this case wood).

I find it fun. Others find it irritating, esp. someone who is searching and gets a heap of hits in one of these threads.

The only real problem, now that the Ubeaut/ suggestion is in operation, is that some of the Friday drivellers started to behave (or some people thought they were behaving) in the same way when contributing to "serious" threads.

On which note, I agree with Al. Enough has been said on the subject and the whole thing is a great example of why we need to TOLERATE each other if we are to make the WWF continue as the great place that it is.

As Al said: Stuart has been suspended as a Moderator. After 8 years of devoting himself to the forums and its members and the many thousands of hours he has put in here helping you. I for one appreciated his invaluable input and work on these forums. So should you lot have.

He made a mistake. We all make mistakes. Stuart has paid the price. So will the forum without him being around.

Jake is still here and posting. Do the math people.

Stuart and the members of the forums are the big losers here. Not anyone else.

For goodness sake GET OVER IT! Shut up and get on with woodwork.

NOT AT ALL HAPPY
