Chat room back online

[Shaun]

The chat room is now back online.

What I found in the logs that upset me was a small group of people arranging to thread spoil, bully other members, and otherwise disrupt the forums; those people are no longer members of CycleChat.

For those of you who do use chat responsibly, my apologies for the disruption.

Thanks,
Shaun

Blimey!

You don't have to name names, but hopefully none of those people were long-standing respected forum members?

Don't worry Colin, I'm still here mate

Don't worry Colin, I'm still here mate

So you are; moi aussi!

Looks like I'll have to see if I can spot any conspicuous absentees! It took me a while before I noticed that Bonj and Jimbo had gone.

 

[Adasta]

Would you consider posting what was written (with the names removed)? If not, why?

(This is a genuine question; I'm not trying to harangue.)

 

[Norm]

Aside from feeding some bizarre morbid curiosity, what possible benefit would come from that, Adasta?

And what is your basis for questioning Admin's decisions?

I don't think there's anything pernicious about being curious.

And what is your basis for questioning Admin's decisions?

This isn't a Zamyatin novel! I'm just asking a question.

What would be the benefit in posting what was written?

This isn't a Zamyatin novel! I'm just asking a question.

But not answering one which was asked of you.

 

[Adasta]

What would be the benefit in posting what was written?

Awareness.

But not answering one which was asked of you.

Your question appeared to have faulty premises. "To ask a question" and "To question someone" have different meanings. I was not questioning Admin's decision; I was posing a question.

Even if I were to question Admin's decision, then that questioning would rest on my disagreement with his decision. But I'm not questioning him, so it's irrelevant.

 

[Crackle]

It's busier than ever.

 

[rich p]

It's busier than ever.

Indeed! Even a forummer named adasta came in, didn't respond to any of our greetings and silently left!

Curiouser and curiouser!

The lot you chucked out obviously spent their day at Ascot yesterday, Shaun!

 

[TheDoctor]

And so incorrectly dressed too!!!

The decline in standards has not gone unnoticed, as racing commentator Sir Peter O’Sullevan pointed out when he said: ‘Sometimes the grandstands seem over-run by tattoos and bare flesh. It’s disrespectful – not just to the Queen, but to the horses.’

WTF?

I trust that Rich hasn't been displaying a lot of bare flesh in the Chat Room? He's already responsible for a forum-wide decline in standards.

There's nothing to see here.
