Quite honestly, that is one of the most ridiculous posts I have seen! Okay, I know iris can be abrasive, and I know you are not a fan of his, but you need to look in the mirror sometimes instead of making comments like "why do you act like this?" This is HIS thread, and he has - as is not uncommon - some fascinating information for us. Like me, he is genuinely interested in the "years gone by". It's not like he is just coming on here to antagonize others - seriously. You can see by comments from others, including myself, that we are perplexed by some of the self-promoting (and often poorly produced) posts by a certain forum member. Even as strongly as we feel about John's posts at times, nobody is "advising" him to stay away from the forum, and there is absolutely no reason for you to make such ridiculous statements about another forum member who provides us with some great stuff.

Steve A very fair post Steve.I hold my hand to sometimes being abrasive as you say,but my interest in the period is genuine.And I think a lot of people can see just what gustix is up to often enough.As you say if he sticks to giving info rather than seemingly trying to self promote websites etc then nobody would mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Sidney the robin is rightly entitled to his opinions and - not because for some reason he appears to be defensive of me (which makes a nice change on the BSF) - I understand and appreciative his comments. A certain Poster has devoted himself for about six years to criticising virtually every Post that I make on the BSF. And several others were also of similar opinion but now never appear on the BSF. I can appreciate why others members comment and criticise as the old say goes "...the Post and NOT the Poster..." But the member both Sidney and myself is seemingly dedicated to practicing the opposite way? The lead Post to this thread is also a puzzle to me. I do not dispute that what is carried is of interest but why was the whole Post carried in the way in which it appears. Surely just a LINK would have sufficed?

Look, I've had my issues with iris, but I'm not going to harbour a grudge for ever just because... Not for the first time, his criticism of gustix is justified. Get used to it.

Guest Posted February 5, 2019 Just in case - and as opinion of my Posts has seemingly reached an all time low for their comment - here is what I wrote about Putt Mossman on the website that nobody appears to like! We already know that iris123 has given it an apparent minus-minus-mnus rating so I can only expect more flak to fly my way over the item. http://www.national-speedway-museum.co.uk/puttmossman.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
