    Default Farewell

    So long folks, it's been fun.

    The censors have been at it again, and deleted my recent (humorous) post. It seems "some people were offended". I can't stand any more of this political correctness crap, so I will bid you all goodbye.

    I am sorry you feel that way. In most cases I am pretty liberal and definately not politically correct.

    As I have said before I have to look after the majority and when I get complaints or think that some one has gone too far they will get censored'

    You went too far. You were stirring. You offended some. You got the message deleted.

    I don't mind stirring either as long as it is clever.

    I must agree with . No, not this case in PARTICULAR but in general. I too am guilty of having a somewhat sexual cast to many of my posts. The only times that I have ever been censored were well and truly deserved. Apart from the above, I really do abhor censoring. Still, it isn't MY bulletin board, it belongs to others.

    Goodbye Ken,

    You are correct, not everyone reads comments the same way and perhaps some people were offended. We are all guilty of that at one time or another.

    I feel you did have some useful contributions at times and it is those contributions I will miss.

    Sorry to see you go Ken, whilst I don't always agree with your posts at least they were interesting.

    Peter.

    Oh fer chrissake will everyone just stop throwing their toys out of the cot. It's a discussion forum. Yes, there's going to be disagreements and not everyone is going to get on like a house of fire. That's life. Good with the bad and all. Get over it.

    When you are as opinionated as me you can't afford to be thin skinned or lack a sense of humour

    Ken
    Don't go. Look I'll get off my bike and pick up your dummy for you. I'll even make a deliberate spelling mistake or three for you to correct. I don't want to be the only Nazi left in the bunker. I didn't mean that jibe about you being the one everyone hates. I'll even vote for you on that poll.
    Come back. Or do a doorstop and sign on as a different person
    Really, don't go Your opinion is valued.Also Silent C's quote says it all.

    Hey Ken,
    You have trodden on a few toes on this board during the time that I have visited it. Maybe some people just left quietly.
    The moral of the story: Don't pour boiling water over someone, if you are not prepared to be on the receiving end one day.
    You are a big boy, no need to throw your toys out the cot, just accept that whatever you did was not acceptable, ( I didn't see the post in question ) but life goes on. Some of your posts are very informative and we enjoy some valuable feedback from you, but the choice 'to go or not to go' is yours mate.

    Thumbs down

    Weak as **** kenmil. I always thought you was a girl and you have proved me to be right.

    This will get cencored and rightly so but I'm not goin to complain because the cencorship will be completely justified. Just like some of the pathetic **** yous have posted in your time on this bulletin board.

    You have often had constructive imput to which I would think most members were appreciative. However I have seen yous have have a lot of hurtful, biggoted and often, bordering on slanderous imput and have alienated a lot of peoples.

    Dead right Donk it certainly has been censored :mad: Neil :mad:

    Ken,

    I will miss your candid contributions. Such straight forwardness is refreshing in this day and age of bum lickers and yes men. Don't let being censored put you off.

    Don, At least Ken contributed. Fourteen Posts in five years? I don't think I need to say any more. But I will. I find your post more offensive than any that I have ever seen from Ken and I do not refer to the swearing.
