and i had his second account deleted wanted to delete both of them for double registering...but...


And last night he was taken to task for it, but denied it and kept his cool.

I kinda lost my cool over it last night as any who read MD will be able to see, I would like to point out this is "highly" unusual for me. I am very much a live and let live kinds guy but it hurts to see something so good go so bad so fast with little to no warning.

Anyways, here to learn share and hopefully laugh with like minded friends.

Where is the bar??? :D

I am saddened to see the drama unfold over at MD... had thought it was a sanctuary and was just starting to feel comfortable sharing there. now, not so much.

aidanmac, you dont know all the facts behind the recent "goings on" and I cant understand why your attacking 1 person that had nothing to do with the "goings on" at MD.
One thing I can tell you is that the same "goings on" happened at Aussie that happened at MD only month earlier, its why MD was born - as a sale's avenue.
There was two consistence's in all these "goings on" at both forums and it seems we all got Punk'd and things did Fester a little.
I can assure you of one thing though.
PMing members with threats of police action is considered a VERY low act.

Edit to add: Why did you even bring the whole "goings on" into this forum ??

Hi all,

Just a quick note, I've had messages from various people telling me that something has been going on - for some reason I'm not getting notifications so I wasn't aware I had PM - apologies for the delay.

I don't know what's been going on as I don't have enough time to go through these forums at the moment never mind any others! Obviously a few noses have been put out of joint in different locations, these things can happen.

However, can I please ask that we keep such things away from here? The whole point of this site in the first place was to avoid such behaviour. If someone says something you don't like, turn the other cheek, it matters not. I think you can even set them as a 'Foe' in the control panel and it'll hide their posts, but that's probably overkill.

I know we have a good bunch on here, but I really don't have time to police things so unfortunately if things start getting out of hand then I'll have to ban people, and if it gets too bad I'll have to shut down the site. Hopefully it won't get to that stage but just so people are aware - if you can't say something nice, maybe don't say anything at all! :)

Once again, I know this isn't anything to do with the majority of users on here so please accept my thanks for your support and for your measured, calm approach. You're awesome. Cheers!
