I'm sorry to challenge your world Ray, but I don't think Jack and I can post on the same site. I'm happy either way! Do you want me or Jack, and you can't have both. I'll check back on Friday, if Jack isn't banned I'm gone.
Pat I suppose it depends people want car crash threads or good edifying content. I'll go for edifying content every time.
It's all good Anthony, I'm just tired of taking unnecessary personal abuse from the anonymous "former vet"....one of us will leave.
You ALL want good content? Is that what trashed my WWYD thread? Does anyone know what the word "hypocrit" means?
Karen, Every tangent has a point of divergence. That point been consigned to the ether via moderation, but as I recall, it was JM's attack on Pat which led the thread off on its current path. FWIW
i've made my views on jackmac clear. IMO he shouldn't be here. He breaks the forum rules daily. He's a troll. The moderators need to moderate to rein him in or boot him out.
I'm not surprised you have some perverted and derogatory sexist description in your mind. That's a recurring feature! A troll is someone who intentionally posts deliberately rude and provocative messages just to cause disruption. I've clearly said why IMO you shouldn't continue. it's got nothing to do with 'like or dislike' and nothing to do with google! Everything to do with you breaking rules, being ignorant and obnoxious and personally insulting at every opportunity and all hiding behind anonymity You said you were leaving the forum earlier. Do us a favour and just stay away from the keyboard. Of course I know there's a pattern of behaviour here. You threaten to go but you don't. Too stupid to find your way out of a revolving door? A liar? A anonymous little man who is just an obnoxious troll? You're all mouth and no trousers!
Pat, your call.. I fully understand however you decide, I'll be monitoring responses here on this thread. Highest Regards Ray
To those who have sent messages, thanks. I enjoy this site and the people on it- with one exception. I can handle criticism and insults, but I don't want to deal with this on a daily basis. It isn't my idea of fun. Karen, sorry if you think I derailed your thread. I thought I tried to keep it on track. I still see Jack listed as "active member", so I doubt he will be banned (I'm not sure how this is different from Travis). It is Ray's sandbox, so he gets to make the rules.
Ray, I have been posting a lot less lately. Some of it is because I have been busy, but some of it is just that I don't want to be bothered by JackMacs mindless attacks on everyone. I have been reading every post, everyday, because it is valuable, and I enjoy it. I just haven't wanted to stick my hand into a basket that I know contains a snake. Regards
Pat, if you leave, there will be a big hole in my edgakation here. How am I going to learn more about that shoe that shows how the weight is distributed?
Well... I think Pat you should not make folks choose. And Thomas should not either. A good part of Jack's postings are interesting, fun and funny for many - myself included. Be he real or not he is a well developed net character for sure. Your posts are for sure cutting edge, as are your presentations. Your word has great weight. As does Thomas's. I say use the report button. I will use it from now on for any personal attacks - even though many want it left in as they feel it sharpens their farrier skills (yea, right) So push the button and let moderators moderate. I vote we go with anonymous moderators (like on COTH) That way the wars of this board's start up will not start up again (remember Mr Ego'Underware?) I vote Mr Jack stays and we all try to stay on topic - not on each 'uther. Better yet - I vote YOU - Pat Reilly get the moderator buttons (anonymously of course) so you can remove and edit those personal attacks to your hearts's desire. Would be sooooo fun to watch you moderate Jack on any post that he directs at you. Think about it - it would be entertaining and would relieve the pressure from you of his digs. Lighten up Jack!
Pat,real Farriers don't act this way. Once you start asking for people to choode this place will rnd up like horseshoes.com? And look whos comming here? I thought you protected yourself pretty good when it came to capitalization? Pat people can only learn so much at any given time. Don't let your job of where you work go to your head...................... Take the write up about you and remember Jack is nowhere near your class especially when it comes to browbeating professionally> Pat if you are looking for someone to just hold you,i will be that man................... Because i love everybody here especially RAYand Maryanne
Pat,one other thing before i have to go to work,Jack is banned over on horseshoes .com it is moderated over there, where you are protected,the boards moderator comes here because there is not enough meat for him over there is that why this is hapening here? And what gets me is that Rock Barton comes here and uses the words JACK OFF And nobody removes them? Do you believe in double standards?
Please don't leave Pat. Like to see your work at New Bolton and on the side. Just ignore the situation; and take the higher ground. Jac behave yourself, please. this is not the place or the time. this is a public forum; and keep it to yourself. I know who you are......and you can have a decent conversation and share your knowledge too.
i would rather you stayed here Pat , but i think it was very unfair to ask us to pick or chose , as it happens he has supposedly left voluntarily but we have heard it all before from him and his " brother " , he will be back lets all hope it is not for a long time
