Hi Alfie,
Au contraire, James is not banned from here, so should he decide to make any comment, he is more than welcome to join and do so :cool:Quote:
Thanks for the history lesson Frank, but any personal problems you've got with James are not my business & It's harsh as he has no right to reply!
Marco.

I can understand people venting over any wrong they see the wam has done now it is no more (temporarily perhaps) but I've enjoyed my time there, as I do here, & will say things as I see them :)
Excuse me while I ramble, but yesterday I bought an SACD of some works by Per Norgard, a Danish composer. I sat today, slack-jawed, at some of the most beautiful music ever composed that was coming out of my speakers.
This is what my hi-fi is for: to act as a conduit through which I can be moved by artistes' musical messages. It saddens me to see such bickering because, actually, it's just quite pathetic. :(
Even on AoS, a thread about cables had to be locked because it descended into a slanging match between two opposing sides, with each trying to rubbish the other's point of view. I sometimes wish people would state their view from the heart, but plainly and clearly, and leave it at that. But too often, ego gets in the way. It's all so unnecessary.
Some true colours emerging here-no surprise really but just a wee bit disappointing when some seem to be putting themselves forward as paragons of virtue..
Frank, I wondered why you left with such bad feeling, I understand somewhat better why now and I'm sorry for it-enjoyed reading a lot of posts you made there.
The bitterness that comes across is not a good look though regardless.
Regularly log in to WW, AoS and PFM as they all have their own nuances and strengths, that WW is the only one I usually post on is more habit than anything else.
Lack of free time too maybe..
Personally, I've never been particularly offended nor I hope, caused offence on any one of them, but The Wam is the only one that has regularly cracked me up laughing at some of the things people have posted there-each to their own I guess, but free will whether to look or participate..As with many things in life, you get out what you put in to it.
Hanging around for long enough and in some cases meeting up with people there,you get a feel of what they're really about and see through the noise.
Incidently, James was perfectly civil in apologising to me when I pulled him up about his comments on public sector workers. We might have different political views, but I can see past that, same as most of the other ranting.
It's great that Marco and Tony are accomodating talk while WW remains closed, much appreciated.
Wigwam forum was known for arguments (in the last few years any way), and look around now, only few hours after James pull the plug (and even then still not certain it's close for good), there are three threads in 3 different forums, arguing about Wigwam forum. :doh:
