Hi Doug!

Yes. You're quite right. Enough said.

Cheers!

I too got the same PM from Otilla. Am sorry to see her go, but it's her choice.
In my humble opinion that could be wrong, I think Otilla just couldn't handle the ozzie banter and troll-dom associated to her. I think she's very sensitive about her woodwork and thought that if she put up pictures, it would get criticised to bits and she couldn't handle that.

In the end, this forum wasn't for her. I wish her every happiness in whatever other forum she chooses to join.

So why am I still here? Cause I'm an Ozzie girl (ok certified to be truthful) married to a pure Ozzie bloke, living in an Ozzie town who enjoys the Ozzie banter and why hasn't my avatar created more of stir???? that was a rhetorical question by the way. Almost like Tikki said, the most feminine thing about me would have to be my avatar I think.

Rocker, appreciate your comments. Can certainly agree with your comment about the Darkside. I must confess I'm torn between your amazing quality and style of work, Major Panic's inspirational desgins and Zenwood's Darkside. Balancing them all together certainly makes for interesting times.
Cheers

Ruffly, if you want to cause a stir with an avatar it needs to be animated. i have a few that you might want to borrow. http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon14.gif http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon12.gif

Ruffly, if you change your avatar, you will get an immediate reddie from me. It's one of the joys of the forum.

Are you guys out of your mind? Leave Otilia alone.

I was there what she/he started the famous “Hello” thread and boy I had never seen a more welcoming bunch. I mean there were 2 pages of “Hi Welcome” replys in the first hour.

Then we started to question about her/his true identity and it went on and on. What’s wrong with you guys? Did her/his avatar make you treat her/him differently?

We threw all kind of questions and remarks at her/him before she/he could even talk about woodworking. No wonder she/her left after 6 posts all in one thread.

Maybe we did scare off a shy young lady who was seeking woodwork knowledge or maybe not. I just think his/her avatar excited a few of us.

Shoot first and question late is the way to go innit?

It's here:

I notice she is still listed as a member. I guess IDs are never deleted, even when a person announces their departure.

Thanks Zenwood.

Sorry Wongo but compared to many of the threads I've seen started by newbies this looks pretty mild, she must be very sensitive.:confused:

She's a moderator on another forum so I doubt she has the time or the inclination to pop back in here.

Yes I know but still. We did scare off a few new members in the past in particular some of our American brothers.

Not everyone is thick skinned like me. :)

He's not a troll.

Some of the normal members here are much better at upsetting people than most of the trolls.

This is not a dig at HH or anyone in particular, just an observation of manners in this forum.

I wonder how many other people who could have been valuable members didnt stay around when the crap started.

I know it was a joke and I'm sure Wongo took it that way.

Normal members are the ones who:-
Refrain from useless frivolity.
Dont reply to useless posts.
Dont insult other members.
Openly welcome newcomers, even trolls and PIAes.
Dont brag about their tools and workshops.
Are always respectful of their wives.
Dont use words like @#$%^.

So would the 2 normal members like to have a say. Norm? Al? :rolleyes:
