OK, let’s look at this objectively:
OP post: Tourer coming to Glasgow
When you look at her rules and conditions it's like you're meeting a superstar.
Hope her phone is dusty.
No I shouldn't say that but wtf?
Reply #1 n/a
Reply #2 Colston says (reasonably, I would suggest) with 10 good UKP reviews, why should she care what OP says?
Reply #3 Lesdoit immediately jumps on Colston as a whiteknighter. Why? Lesdoit makes no reference to anything else.
Reply #4 Martini posts a link (apparently to a thread about the WG outing punters. But all you can see is the link, no detail).
Reply #5 HappyJose reads the link and posts about it.
Reply #6 Colston,
who has been away from the thread for 30mins, returns and
picks up where he left off, to see Lesdoit’s post which calls him a whiteknighter. Understandably annoyed, he responds. (NB Lesdoit only made a reference to the WGs uppity rules & regs, nothing else).
Reply #7 Reading on, Colston sees Happyjose’s post (presumably then reads the link now that his attention has been drawn to it) and IMMEDIATELY puts his hands up.
He didn’t know about the WG’s outing of punters.Reply #8 Happyjose, responding DIRECTLY to that, comes out with a sarky reply about ‘doing research’ which actually Colston had done…he checked out her feedback to see TEN straight positives. No, he didn’t do an exhaustive search on her name, hardly a hanging offence. Do we all do an exhaustive search before commenting on any WG? Possibly not. In any case, as I say, Colston immediately put his hands up. Then there’s the gratuitous, sneery comment comparing Colston with either a whiteknight or an incompetent chump. Totally uncalled for IMO.
Reply #9 I decide to join the fray, suggesting perhaps a bit of an overreaction from Happyjose and yes, the reference to the high-horse (in the circumstances justified IMO, although slightly inflammatory, admittedly).
Reply #10 What’s this all about? Red flags? Same as the shit that many snooty WGs post on their profiles, about
I want this and I want that, what has that got to do with a ‘prescient thread’? Colston didn’t know about the other stuff. Then you start preaching about the ‘culture of the site’ which presumably Colston is aware of with all his many posts and reviews. But bearing in mind what Colston didn’t know about the WG, he didn’t breach that culture.
Reply #11 I point out how unnecessary and pointlessly nasty your comments were.
Reply #12 You assert that Colston KNEW about the WG’s history
when it’s obvious he didn’t, like I said he merely picked up the thread where he left off. As soon as you pointed it out to him in reply to that, he put up his hands.
Ever since then Happyjose has been calling him a whiteknight and accusing him of breaking the rules, all to cover up for that. When I defend the obvious, Happyjose accuses me of breaking the rules too
From here on it descends into farce, with Happyjose again quoting chapter & verse about the rules, comments about ‘have I got a message from management yet’ , hoping I'll be banned
Reply #33 Happyjose has the last word as far as I'm concerned. I leave it there. Had enough. That’s midday YESTERDAY.
Lesdoit carries on wittering away, I ignore.
TODAY AT 7pm…
Reply #40 Lesdoit references me again. Had enough of this crap. Stupidly I rejoin.
All kicks off again
Reply #57 Mr. Matrix hits the nail on the head. Says it should have finished after #7 (where Colston’s hands go up). He can clearly see what’s happened (correct me if I’m wrong Mr. M?)
Reply #63 Happyjose says “I was out of this until I was brought back in to it by winkywanky’s reply #43” Absolute bollocks, because that post is directly aimed at Lesdoit
.
And I see the last few posts are hilarious: Happyjose has now turned on his 'ally'/bedfellow in all of this, Lesdoit.
Couldn't make it up!
Anyways, I'm off to bed now, all this shit has given me a headache. Hopefully it has given one or two a bit of a chuckle, if not I apologise
