(Same goes if I get one, don't expect it to stay between you and me!!

)

At the end of the day I'm here to get help, help if I can:eek: even if that is simply to provide a different point of view, have fun, and if someone else gets a kick out of that, well isn't that fantastic too!!

Hope I die laughing,

Nice one Midge.

I'd like your command of the language.

Hovo, have your mob let me down ? It surely couldn't be my fault could it?

please send me as many negative points as you can, I want to see what happens, will I be ejected for being a nasty pasty? Will have ALL of my posts deleted or will he just lock the thread in case someone enjoys themself too much? Will Neil insist on making me a "boss" again because I have acheived total scumdom? Will it make absolutely no difference whatsoever to anyone at all? (which is what I suspect will be the outcome)

eh!

David,
:eek: :eek: :eek:
Ooooh....I suspected that! Very strange too, because I'm in the habit of writing an essay with each tick - no comment there?

That was me birfday and all!!! Hardly a day for handing out bad stuff!

On the assumption that it was you and it was a nasty red one, could you please PM me with the unmodified version so's I can track down the post?

In the meantime...one greenie to bring you back to square as soon as poss! (I have to spread some round first apparently).

Please accept my humblest apology for any negative stress caused!

Anyone else?
:confused: :confused: :confused:

Cheeers,

I have only ever given out one red one and that was to Shane Watson. It was not for anything that he had said or done, I just thought that it was unfair that as a moderator he was given a full house of points without actually having to earn them. I wanted to see if it made a difference to his rating. It didn't, but it did to mine because he immediately returned the compliment.

Of late there has not been much movement in my reputation points either way so it looks as though it may be just a passing fad.

Rocker,
I totally agree with your comments and motivation for being involved with this forum.

Mwahahahaha! Feel the wrath

Seems most people use that excuse when giving me rep points. 'You got too many & you didn't earn them so take that!'

hehehe.. Grain of salt..

Actually back when you gave me the point Bob, the points system was still annonoymous, but having special super powers like us admin / mod super heros do, we were always able to see who gave what to us. Mind you I think it took us a couple of days to realise that you 'normal' folk couldn't...

I take the whole thing as a bit of fun, not as some type of personal attack against me, of the two reds I have given they were both in jest (I trust you realise that Bob) Sure it got out of hand at first, but its settled down. From what I can see people are now using the system as it should be used.

Have fun people, lifes too short!

Christopha,

It won't let me give you anything, I must have given you a green one recently. Would a rude or impolite message suffice?

Well I too was tempted, but of course I have to spread a lot of love around 'cause it's not enough time since the last greenie.

No red for you from me Mr Nasty guy,

**HappyHammer** · 19th July 2004, 03:25 PM

I tried too Christopha but I also must have given you a greenie recently.

How the hell did I get dragged into this mess?
What exactly do you mean by "my mob"?
Spelling Nazis or school teachers? Is there a difference?
