A thread to converse in instead of using the moderators (request and notices)thread

By which time Clive and Chalfie will have flounced, Pisti will have been banned and the wet lips will be up in arms over a storm in a tea cup.

so a normal week

It's hard to keep your lips dry if you're trying to drink from a cup that has a storm going on.

pg lips, is that what the monkeys had?

I knew I had forgotten something.

Oliver will be congratulating himself for jokes which the rest of us just pull a salad face at. This is probably because when faced with a salad he says yum while the rest of us enquire as to the location of the meat.

Hartlepool reference, nice. Keep up the training and we might make a footy thread bollocks talker of you yet.

i talk footy bollocks better than the rest of you, hence my ability to cause such a fracas just with single posts

Um, yes James whatever you say. Try it out in various threads and see how you get on. Don't forget to reference the lack of tags at random opportunities.

Which we still blame you for.

isn't the lack of tags a good thing?

shall i go and post the above on your hallowed t̶u̶r̶f̶ thread?

You must be seeing things. Where was there any trace of a 'joke'?

Reference to joke is meant to cover joke/pun/play on words. But you're right, no hint of any wit up there.

one for Ramaye

You can't meet everyone

Why was the moderator thread closed then?

It happens from time to time when David gets fed up with people chatting in it (and Clive asking for tags back, which, frankly, can drive anyone around the bend :) ).

I'd rather spend a month listening to Ed talk about tyre choice than hear Clive try to be funny/troll DK about tags one more time.

^ You've clearly gone around the bend. :)

To be fair, others request tags as much as Clive. It's just that the boss man hates Clive with a passion so singles him out as the main culprit causing his sheeplike disciples to believe it is all Clive's fault.

Don't get suckered in by the conspiracy, maintain your free will.

Not the case.

If others request tags they aren't doing it where I'm looking. Only cliveo does that.

And I don't hate cliveo at all, I enjoy his company off-forum. But on-forum, my visibility of him is mostly "when can we have tags back" and it's a joke that really isn't funny any more.

I feel like I've addressed it, compromised, worked long hours to find technical solutions... for what? For something that even he used to bully and troll others (as did many others)? For something that actually did bring the forum down and cut into major chunks of my time?

And I feel like I've addressed it again and again. I've asked cliveo in the past to drop it. But he brings it up time and again, ad infinitum. And eventually it got to the point that I knew that if cliveo was the last poster on the mods thread that I would yet again have to respond to a "Can we have tags back?" post.

This stuff wears me down. A lot. And it got to the point that I'd see his name, read those effing words again... and I'd feel slightly sick in advance, and despondent that here I was about to waste my time again.

That's why yesterday I put his account on pause, because he did it again even though I had just asked again for him not to.

I put accounts on pause when I want to speak to the person involved. I was pretty busy trying to focus on other things, and this one could wait until late evening.

Except of course, it can't wait and cliveo wanted an answer right away.

I told cliveo pretty much what I've put in this post. That I'm fairly sick of it. And I am.

At which point cliveo decided that he'd take a month or two break.

And that's not good, I don't want him to leave... I just want him to stop trolling me and being a dick.

But hey, that's his choice.

I don't hate people, but people can be right dicks at times.

I don't even know whether he wants tags or not. I can't tell.

Sometimes he says "I'm only joking", but he bangs on about it so incessantly that he must really care deeply about having tags.

They're gone, deal with it people... they're not coming back. That data doesn't even exist now.

Shit, I restarted the cliveo come back thread with no knowledge of the above.

I told cliveo pretty much what I've put in this post. That I'm fairly sick of it. And I am.

And I should clarify... what am I sick of?

Having my time wasted, being screwed around, having the time and effort I put in valued in the negative.

Hell, it becomes apparent sometimes, when people are wasting my time or accusing me of hating people, or of not doing X, or of doing Y, or asking for something that I've dealt with comprehensively... that clearly I am valued not just at zero, but less than.

Who cares if it costs me time, and effort.

Who gives a shit?

And that's what I'm sick of. Not the off-forum meets at pubs once in a while, or the time spent on a bike... but the way that a few people (because it is more than just cliveo, even though the tags things really got to me) value what I do so low.

I eventually think... fuck this, why bother.

And I bother because actually things like Rider Down, stuff like going on a bridges ride, seeing friendly faces at LMNH... that shit matters.

But the bullcrap on here is exhausting at times.

Fuck me, I was only trolling. But since you are here.

Can we have tags back?
