More hassle on 'the other list'

Some of you refugees might remember that there was a messy war on the other group recently. In the end, Chris and others departed, and some one called Wally threw his weight around for a while.

A set of rules were drawn up and the first one to break them was .......Wally.

I mentioned to a poster that they could check sva details on chris gibbs site, and that they should search the archives cos chris had debatably been banned.

So then Wally breaks the rules and posts insults to me on the list.

The first one to break the rules are the policemen themselves!

Yeah I normally keep quiet, but Wally's reply to you was well out of order. A 2@ of the highest order

Did make me laugh though,poor bloke asks a pretty good question steve tells the truth about 1st book and where to get SVA manual online and all hell breaks loose.
Maybe your just not allowed to mention banned peeps.
20 more members for this group then,happy easter and let them get on with it.
There will be no bugger left on there soon.

Hi All,

Sorry to be the cause of more strife.

Steve, message 37779 is the one where the Wally banned me, but if I were you I'd leave the w*nk*rs to it.

Who needs 'em?

Cheers

Chris

Chris Gibbs (chris@g...) has been removed from the list.

"end quote"

Now I'm not sure but I would have thought the words:-

"Chris Gibbs (chris@g...) has been removed from the list."

meant that I had been removed from the list!

I promised wallys buddie moderator i wouldnt discuss it any more on list unless someone goes for me again. So its up to them.

A lurker posted a real good response though.

Interesting that the moderator threatend any other abusers with the chop, but not his buddy wally.

not exactly furkin fair moderation is it?

The faq gets auto posted in a few days - nice bit of irony it was set up by the new police / faq abusers themselves.

Anyone fancy posting a link to this site? Think it wouldnt be right for me right now!

BTW - is 'book 2' any more accurate than book 1? I hardly read mine as cos im not building completely to book, its only a vague, and often misleading document. These groups are a whole lot more useful.

However the book has never slagged me of or treated me in an unjust way.

Ahhhhhhh

What gets me, and i cant say this on the other list cos I am a man of my word (well....) is the folowing.

Anyone can edit and post a jpeg that looks like Chris unsubscribed himself. Especially some one who threatned to report people to employers and lose them their job.

Second, Wally has shown himself as a person not to be trusted - valiant moderator, and abuser at the same time.

My moneys on you Chris. Even if you did unsub yourself, im still with you cos you have never taken a pop at me.

Well, you are right and wrong there Chris.

At the end of the day, the locost list is just a few megabytes on a hard disk in America. Its no big thing. Irrelevant on the grand scale of things.

The way I see it is those megabytes contain info that hase been useful in the past, and there are some really nice personalities on there - people whose posts I actually look out for - and some of you are on here too - and its a kind of community. What I like about this list isnt the tech info, its the joking and fun that just does not exist anymore on the locost list.

1600 posts down to 400 or so - they were not all spam and crap.

So, I kinda like being here for the laff, and the Locost list is useful for the archicives, the personalities, and, being there is a way of paying back for some of the help I have had.

Even posting too much gets you shot at, but thats another issue.

To those from the other list reading this - joining this list, and being on the other too are not mutually exclusive - we take anyone! I have kept my word, and no other postings on this will be made on the other list. So, with fair moderators, life should go on as normal on the other list. I will still be there.

If the powers that be seek retribution on me for saying how upset I am for feeling agreived that Wally popped at me without any kinda on list rebuke for breaking list rules, will be a benchmark of how fair the moderation is on the locost list.

I have seen Chris' picture. We were once accused on the other list of making homosexual remarks (Heck, why doesnt Rons book mention all the grief you will get from the net in the build!) and I can tell ya Chris inst my type - if i was a raving woofda, you understand

I cant say either way about Wally. Id rather not get personal. But we can on this list cos we know when it meant to hurt and not. I dont recon Wally was paying me any compliments though!

Hiya.

Looking at the 'other group' right now, it seems that Dougie has now left as a moderator.

Seems a bit extreme to me that rather than invoke the rules, against a buddy, you call the injured party a troll (thats 3 sets of abuse now in less than 18 hrs from those two) and fall on your sword.

Thats silly.

Its amazing how much abuse and emotion comes from a phrase "Chris Gibbs was banned from the list (debateably)". Thats all I said, not a word that I would like to say that just come out as **** , ******* ,******* and ************************* on here.

Peter Ogden is now moderator of the general and Aus lists, and as far as I have seen in the past he seems to be a balanced bloke.

BTW - nearly 700 reads of this thread in less than a day!

Hey Steve and Chris,

IF I was a little light on my feet, you know a Barrymore fan I wouldn't sh*g either of you two. I don't know what Steve looks like (although I can imagine) but Chris PTM is the ugliest geezer that ever walked the earth.

I've still got my self-respect you know!!

Cheers

Chris

Yes, I have.

I kinda look at those figures as a bit like the stock exchange - they go up and down.

There are people that join that list as 'read at site' members, (as i do) and I think they just forget and move on. So, I recon no more than 250 or so are 'real' members at any one time.

One reason the postings have gone down is that the Aussies all left during the hassle of one month ago, during which Chris was a casualty. The aussie list is doing quite well if you check.

I recon there are also a lot of people who dare not post, cos they see the kinda shyte that gets thrown at you. Just mentioning you Chris is enought to get me in trouble and have a whole load of rantings coming my way.

The 'other list' has fallen back to the level of postings it was getting two years ago.
