Haha. No. Maz just needs a hug.

Apparently 'he knows where I live'. Or is that 'The Judge? Confusing.
Either way, no one cares.

Hi Gordon,

I'm good thanks. Got a new job that keeps me busy but it's good.

There seemed to have been an incredible amount of thread deleting going on. When someone used to flounce it could turn gold - IMO it's sometimes better to leave a thread to see which way it's going to go.
Even if they're HOL-Bashing or Mod-Bashing you can at least see what the general feeling is.

By deleting threads that were asking an honest question - such as what happened to Jamie it creates a sense of ill-will. People like to be kept informed and if you don't they get suspicious - it's human nature.

At one stage the threads were being deleted 5 minutes after they started - which just compounds the problem.

Far better to come out and say what happened or let Jamie have his final goodbye. As someone else said it's like when referees explain their decision - you may not like it but at least you don't feel paranoid or suspicious.

There now exists a mood on the HOL that it's Midlands Eagle who is going round deleting threads and has gone power crazy. That may or may not be the case but when good people like Moose feel the HOL is a shambles then something has gone wrong.

The HOL will survive, of course - it's a great site - but a little interaction and explanation will go a long way. And give the flouncers their stage - who knows it may turn out to be a funny thread.

I agree it was about time Gusset went and I'd have carded Willo years ago - but these are my opinions and you must do what you think is best.

Sorry to bang on - but I don't want to see the great HOL deserted.

Keep Well,

Pikey.

Without it, I'd have to talk to my wife.

No wonder you're on here so much! Have you driven her mad yet with all the right-wing claptrap, or has she mastered the Hakenkreuz drop-stitch by now?
