And yes, I totally agree flecc has made a fantastic contribution to thread and he should stay. However, I find his current annoyance is both misplaced and hypocritical. He has witnessed folk being called racist, scum, thick, idiotic and xenophobic yet regularly supports the poster doing so.
No hypocrisy, I have explained this to you before but you seem to ignore that, so I'll repeat it once again, this time in detail.
Look back through the occasions when I've posted an agree with OT or OG and you'll see those are largely the posts that do not include their extreme responses. The "agree" is merely to a point they are making. I make a real effort to avoid posting an agree when anyone is being offensive and they lose very many agrees from me on those grounds. Therefore I am not supporting them being offensive and they both know that since I've posted as such before in reply to you.
Now to deal with why I don't post criticising their bad behaviour when they post as such to others. It's simply a matter of good manners, their posts to others being none of my business since I'm not an administrator. It only becomes my business if OT or OG posted in that manner at me, but they never have done. Therefore there cannot be any justification in my attacking their manner of posting to others. How they do that is up to them and if the administrators allow it, any adverse comment from me would also be unjustifed interference with their right to run the site as they see fit. In fact the administrator whose site this is knows from previous private discussion that there are times when I'd take a tougher line than him, but it's not for me to take that line in the forum.
