But mostly I come here to moan about him rather then to insult him.

Read what he said again old chap - He said it's NOT sucking the life out of Frothers, that Frothers had the life sucked out of it ages ago. With all respect.

OK, well what I meant was that it's compounding the problem, that it shows a lack of willingness to improve things. And saying that this thread is creating traffic and footfall and is the most active thing on here is what I mean about self-justification. What about posting other stuff? What about posting other material that may engage elsewhere and widen the scope of the forum, add something.

I agree there was a definite change when Rev left and Redzed and others. But so what? Again, get over it. Move on. Because they've left and it isn't the same is that a reason for running things into the ground? That's the logical conclusion of General's post. That strikes me as nonsense.

I should emphasise, before the inevitable criticism comes that I prescribing what people should and shouldn't post, that I can take or leave this thread, that I can ignore it as well as I ignore the football thread. There has been some good stuff on here, both in highlighting Bill's ways and just because some of it has been simply amusing. But it's the nastiness that is infecting elsewhere on the forum that I don't like, and the self-justification for the continuance of this thread.

OK, well I've said my piece. I've explained how I feel. It'll just go in circles so I'll leave it at that.

Oh goodness me that would never do. That would involve them actually making an effort.

Far easier to sit there moaning that they don't like it because it's not what it used to be.
