Hi Jim, I have the highest regard for you. That's why I quoted your post, as I thought it would be an opportunity to air some "grey area" knowing that you are the type of person not to take it personally and that you would understand the bigger picture.

Bill...I deleted the post myself after discussions with the mod in question.
Cheers

Jim, with what I have learnt about you, and come to know what I do know about you, I did think as much. When I saw your post, then when it disappeared, I sized up the distinct possibility of it being self-cleared. That's why I led with that notion and not the team deletion first.

I wouldn't worry about it Bill, I am not!!!

I don't for me. Not withstanding the two personal attacks on me (which no member support was rallied), I have ignored it.
When there has been jovial banter with me, of any kind, I have gleefully joined in. A bit like those two mischievous lovable ratbag felines, all those years ago. They have me in stitches with their antics, my new reading material. But I should take a leaf out of their book , , , , as it seemed, they didn't provide the respite their owner may have needed at the time.
This post was the defining moment for me.

Can you please stop saying bad words
.
Now, it needs to be said that , , , , If the profile is questionable as some may think, I would rather be fooled by a troll/spammer than allow the possibility of a genuine young lad be pummelled, who might not have the age & maturity to deal with it, or raise it in an appropriate manner, no disresspect to the young lad , , , , these are seasoned veterans he's up against.
The comments that were fired at FishOn4Reel were unacceptable. But what is more so disturbing, is that the notion that some members on here think that they can make comments like that.
I did praise in a post reply on that thread, those that did stand up.
I thought somebody had to do something, as this kind of behaviour seems to overwhelm the feeling of the site at times and it happens that often that it is even joked about. Also that the Team are for ever busy cleaning up all that happens. So this is to bring to light, for everyone, the whole process and try and see if some behaviours can be modified.
Thanks to Wolly, and his comprehensive reply, that has shed light on the situation better than I could have expected, what things are being done, how things are being done and that things are going to happen to "whom ever", if their behaviour persists.
I would rather (well for the time being) hold my head up as a Shmuck ridiculed loser having a go, than hold my head low while sitting in the corner dong nothing.
Regards, still hopeful of a better world, Bill
