Completely echo what Kent just said, still keep in contact with him but would love to see him return.
Understand his reasons for not posting though

And they are quite proud of themselves by the way. Kent appears to be the new target along with yours truely. It is not often I wish a user left this site but I am prepared to make two exceptions.

And they are quite proud of themselves by the way. Kent appears to be the new target along with yours truely. It is not often I wish a user left this site but I am prepared to make two exceptions. No-one's proud of anything, no-one is a target. How about, if someone disagrees with you, engaging them in debate rather than moaning. If you want to post opinions, be prepared for those opinions to be challenged. If you're going to slag someone off, be prepared for someone else to defend them or post an opposing view. This has become a real problem with this messageboard. A large number of people will read some press speculation and post a load of bile aimed at the club but somehow, if anyone should point out that they should maybe avail themselves of some facts 1st, they are made out to be the bad guy. Prime example is yourself Lone. A few weeks ago, someone posted the Mirror piece stating that Caulker had chosen to sign for Crystal Palace. You pounced (your own word) saying that the club had "F***ed up". I asked you in what way that they had F***ed up and, instead of answering, you turned it into a personal attack on me. Looking back on that now, who's the one that looks foolish? As far as Kent is concerned, similar thing. He'll post something then, as soon as someone posts an opposite opinion, he either becomes defensive or just ignores the post and gets a dig in the next time. Gramps posted an opinion and I disagreed with it. He became defensive and, when I tried to reason with him, I got an "end of subject!" So to me, it appears that you would like to get rid of anyone who's prepared to disagree with you. No a very good standpoint for a moderator/administrator on an internet messageboard is it?

I was wondering what had happened to Gramps....
Get back on here John and anyone else who has left because they don't feel their opinion was respected. This board should be open to all no matter what your opinion as long as your not abusive. I don't agree with everything that people place on here but that doesn't make my opinion right, just my opinion. Just because I have an opinion that differs to other doesn't make me the Oracle as most who read my post will realise I am often Wrong and I'm quite happy for that to be pointed out but do it nicely no need for abuse you gain nothing from it only distain of others!!!!!

Clever combo of Blackadder Goes Forth and 'Head' from Blackadder II.
When forced to accompany the mad Queen didnt he relay to EI how 'our cousins in Genoa would stand on a box on a street corner and go Wibble'?
Mind my age and countless bottles of Stella could be against me here (countless in the sense that I'm getting too old and pi**ed to count, so anything over two is a big number).
Whats that!!

I still can't bring myself to spend any time on Twitter (apart from shameless self promotion!) Come on Maude, back you come; it sounds like Bushman is missing you too.

As to how we treat each other on this board. Maybe the Moderators should do a "better" job of moderating. And if so, I apologize. But unless it's extreme in which case, we'll encourage departures, the very essence of this site and the belief is in self-moderating. This may be a little of a "Boutique" messageboard -but that's obviously never been my call. It's there. If people use it; how people use it, is up to others,not to me. I don't ask of others what I don't ask of myself. Not on this board - and not in past postings on other boards have I engaged in some of the nastiness that was directed against me. There are of course FACTS (troublesome things!) But Usually there is no "right" or "wrong" opinions. It's a matter of view - regarding players, finances, even the view of Chairman - be they Paladini, Briatore or Fernandes. So politeness, niceness and TOLERANCE and respect for other views (even if totally inane and wrong ) When posting and reading other people's responses is no longer fun or enjoyable, then something went wrong with how we're doing things. As for Gramps or Harlow or Maude, etc. Well everyone leaves for their own reason. SOme just stop posting in general (I presume) which has always struck me as a little strange. But as I said at the beginning of this thread. If people leave and want to return, they are very welcome back

Sorry Mac I have to disagree with you. I am always right in my views and everyone else who thinks different is wrong. End of story In case anyone thinks I'm being serious, I'm not

I also would like to see Harlow and Gramps back. I liked both of them. I also like Maude. I do admit to liking his humour. Although I do understand it may have pissed some people off.
I like this board because of the maturity on how things are dealt with for the majority of the time. Not everyone on here is going to get on and at times we may get on each others nerves. That is life and I guess when some feel they have had enough they take themselves out of situations they don't like. Personally I do enjoy a debate and I would be really bored if everyone agreed with me
I think Gramps will come back. Saying that more in hope than knowledge. I also hope Harlow will come back. cos he is a really good guy too. I am expecting Maude back as Rory has mentioned above.
WIll also add that I'm missing HAQPR and CPR too
Increase the peace

Why do some posters wish to jump down the throat of others. Either comment regarding their post, whether it be humorous or sensible, or ignore it.

Miss them both, although Maude was on and off a few times before his final departure. Why? Only he knows.
Gramps was a wonderful member and we were cyber friends. His leaving makes me the most senior member in years of age which I don't like.
He left because a member made a clown caricature of his Avatar,which was his face. He wanted an apology which the member refused.
Gramps exited. Sad.
