Something else for Gadge to moan about

God, I have actually started to hate the little prick now. He's using this forum to further his own ego and to try and pour scorn on CiA as much and as often as possible in his posts. I really am going to tell him to f**k off very soon.

Edit - Here is my reply to him, ready to post. Before I click "add post", I will ask you guys if you think I'm being too confrontational and whether, in the name of diplomacy, I should post it or not....

Well, sorry to rain on your parade but I think it IS stupid, because many don't want to trawl through pages of chav and text speak, not to mention poor spelling and grammar, just to find references to the particular "theme" that floats their boat. If Vietnam and cold war themed airsoft are so popular by your own admission, then surely they merit their own sections, along with WW2?

Actuallu I dont think its that stupid, see my column in next months AI. I thnk all 'themed airsoft' is pretyt complimentary.

Well, as you so eloquently put it on another thread (but spelt it correctly), when someone dared to disagree with you, "Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one". I'm afraid I won't be reading your column in next months AI, so, you'll have to enlighten those that do with your bottomless knowledge and wisdom.

Nah, don't post! Arnies has a separate WW2 section now so its a moot point.

Aww, you're no fun David!

Ok, I won't. However, gadge will need to be reigned in sooner, rather than later. Some of his posts over the last couple of days have been very snidey and all were little digs at CiA organisers' posts. He obviously hasn't got over being replaced as a moderator and is bearing grudges for several other things too. I won't stand around and let him try to make himself look superior and me (or anyone else for that matter) look stupid, just to pump his own ego.

Have a word via PM first.

I've pushed back on that X-Factor thread.

Heh, if you wanted to post I'd avoid being too nasty though especially in the light of Guy's tirade about the goings on in ASCUK in the past!
How about this for the final para?

Well, as you so eloquently put it on another thread (but spelt it correctly), when someone dared to disagree with you, "Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one". I'm afraid I won't be reading your column in next months AI, so you'll have to enlighten me with your considered opinion.

The moment's passed now. I'm sure there'll be another one soon.

.... and breathe...

Small moral victory. I called him on posting old photos, claiming to be in todays ' snow.

Snow Walt.

By the way, he still has "forum moderator" under his profile picture. That might be confusing for some.

I reserve the right to say what I think about a defunct forum .

Re Gadge - I did stop myself from posting "glad to see someone has given you a moderating job at last "

I have some self control

Gadge's title now fixed as is yours Pete.

Nice one.

I see he's cottoned on to my having deleted a couple of his posts. I wonder how he'll react when he sees I've just edited one as well? I think it's bang out of order of him to post just to be contrary to myself, Steve and Jay. I'm trying really hard to hold my temper with him.

I think Gadge might have PMS again...

F**k him. He's got Yith to post on the mods forum about his deleted posts and, I've replied without pulling any punches.

Edit - I very strongly believe that it needed to be said. Gadge has been very bolshy and self important lately and I think it's scaring people off, I really do. I don't want anyone to see this forum as elitist and full of stitch nazis but, that's the impression I'm sure they get from reading the stuff that he posts. I know I've not been very tactful but at least it's not on the public forum. If you think I'm in the wrong, please tell me,as I'm having a real personal crisis over this and don't want to let you guys down in any way.

My thoughts added to that thread in the Mods forum.

Cheers Jay.

I noticed the exact same arrogance in Yith that Gadge exhibits. Surprised you didnt go "and i'll chin you as well ya cuuuuuuuuuuuuuunt"

No point pissing everyone off! I can speak to Yith at Boryszyn and make my point. I've pm'ed Yith and actually apologised to him for being aggressive to him in my post. I also told him that gadge is welcome to phone me and I'll tell him what I think of him then. I expect a storm of replies and pm's when I get home from work tomorrow, some taking gadges' side, some supporting my comments. Del has already pm'ed me, saying it needed to be said.
