Could someone please explain this to me please?

[isuckedmandelsonslemons]

A joke. I don't think ANYONE would have realised.

There's a thread somewhere about favourite lines from Carry On films. Did anyone see "Carry On Up The Clique?

Very old one.

[The Grand Wazoo]

I'm astonished! It must come as rather a surprise to Clive, myself and everyone else to imagine that he and I are in some sort of a clique.

Some fairness might not go amiss here. I don't want ANYBODY removing the profanity from my posts as it was used in context. I hardly use profanity at all therefore it was intended to hammer home my points and reveal feelings, I will not apologise for using it.

For what its worth: Clive, some might consider Harry to be abrasive when in fact I have come to appreciate that Harry prefers to be direct and honest rather than underhand and secretive (that's not to say you have been btw). I have come to respect and appreciate this side of Harry over the many posts of his that I have read and also through our few convos on AoS. Such conflicts will increase all the while this current government are busily driving a wedge between the least and most well off in our society. They are poisonous scum, and that is me being polite. Incidentally, I am one of those who have witnessed protectionism for certain individuals on here and in fact I have been a victim of it.

Apologies might go along way to bringing this incident to a close. I will leave it to those involved to project a little dignity and repect.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

But feel free to carry on.

I don't want to get drawn into adding much comment as it'll only inflame the situation but I must say here that I felt Harry insulted me.

There you go. I have no agenda. I'm not paranoid and I'm not talking out of my arse.

There have been recent examples of this unfairness and the protectionism of certain individuals has been noticed by more people than me and Synsei.

It's bound to happen. Happens in all walks of life but please do me the courtesy of not insisting that I'm somehow imagining it.

Harry,
No-one is 'protecting' Clive.

Do you remember when I said this:

If the discussion had been allowed to continue, it would almost certainly have ended in one or more person receiving a two week ban from AoS.

Now, who do you suppose that the 'one or more person' might be?

[WOStantonCS100]

With all due respect to everyone here, I hate coming across threads like this which seem to be mostly irrelevant to the pursuit of good music and playback gear. It's a downer when coming to AoS actually degrades my day. (Thank God, that doesn't happen often.) Sometimes I wish "discussions" like these could be confined to "private meeting rooms". Anyway, carry on. I'll go see what happening in the Spin Lists.

+1. You do make a good point about going to a private meeting room. Could we not have some sort of facility like this where the rest of the AOS dont have to read threads like these. NO DISRESPECT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM to the guys in this thread, so please dont feel insulted by what I have suggested.

+1 well said Biff, and Andrew
