Since the original thread has been locked by "jinks" for goodness knows what reason and I cant post there I've had to go to the trouble of opening a new one.

Why on earth does it need you or anyone to grasp any nettle jinks? There are literally hundreds of posts remaining on this FLAMING FORUM about him, what good is closing further discussion about him taken on what I can only assume is a famous 'Jinks whim' based on nothing more than a 'smiles' request to cut off the oxygen supply, since there isn't any rational explanation along with the locking to explain WHY. I can't understand a word of your final post on the original thread, who asked you to grasp the nettle? "Here we go again"...."its been too quiet here of late" "Lets liven it up again...without outside help" Does not make any sense to me.

It's totally absurd, it's a FLAMING FORUM for goodness sake, 99% of it is about him, if anyone does NOT want to post, read, know, or relate to him all they have to do IS NOT VISIT THIS SPECIFIC FORUM! It does not need some mamby-pamby moderation to take away MY choice of whether to read or participate in discussions about him, I am perfectly capable of making up my own mind about it.

If you are locking it what's the point of having all the rest of the posts about him still here? It's ridiculous for one person to assume they talk for the whole membership. Surfcrest is the main author of threads on the Flaming Forum of late, that is up to him if he wants to continue that or not, it's also up to individual members if they want to read about or comment on him, it still has deep scars for some, and I do not like the idea that he can make spurious claims and accusations without somewhere members can reply and put the record straight. Smiles said it was only his opinion..........not some kind of order to obey!

And what's with the not mentioning his name bit. My advise would be to get that thread opened again and take away any threats that posts about him will be deleted....deleting to what end exactly? Smiles 'suggested' a blanket ban on all things relating to him, I disagree for the reasons stated on the original thread. If we cannot post on a damned forum specifically for FLAMING where is it going to be possible to refute anything the Sally-the-nutter spews out on another board?
