A forum is just a method of communication - "friends" will be friends whether you talk to them face to face, by phone, email text or whatever - it has nothing to do with the medium as to how people behave, if you are a liar, you will lie - if you are a back stabber you will - you get the idea...

Try to take it easy man, life's too darned short

I've been hurt & double crossed all my life.i trust no one. I changed from a placid easy going bloke to a right grumpy basterd with many chips on his shoulders

It's as easy as this to spot. I have harsh words with member A, then later member B, to then see both member A&B Pm'ing each other around the same time frame it doesnt take a Brain Surgeon now does it.. I see it all the time & make a note of the offenders..It's quite easy after a time

I'm looking forward to seeing a number of them on the 15th of this month at Owston.

Andre,it's a little different from the norm in this case.Those of us who are Owston regulars have been attending for years,so we have all known each other personally for many years.In fact,I held one of the very first get-togethers we had at my place in Leeds,about 15 folks whom I'd never met before came over with their kit,and a great time was had by all.I'm still friends with them all these years later.All genuine people.

So I have to agree with Chris,and I'm looking forward to Owston too!

How?

The rule I try hard to keep is never say something in private that you are not able to say in person.

Typing at times is a very hit or miss thing, we have all got it wrong or allowed other circumstances to act as a lens to view things through when quite often we/you are wrong about what you read or read something into something which is not there. We all get it wrong from time to time and that includes me.

However I can say that I have made some good friends here on AOS and I have not met all of them but hope to someday. I can also say that I hope to make new friends and make better friends of those I only barely know.

Andre I am sorry that you the worst in humanity It is easy to see the worse in things

**Rare Bird** · 02-05-2010, 21:43

If i have something to say or something on my mind i will openly post it, it gets me into trouble a lot & has lead to bannings on more occasions than i've had hot dinners.I've never been one for agreeing with people to be buddies or go along with something i don't believe in being all pally with Admins to be on the right side, i'm my own man always have been.. If someone has a problem with me or has something to say i'd rather have someone tell me not belly ache others cos i generally find out in the end.
