I wonder if the letter bomb is on it's way to Chez Dave?

How about a Stripey vs Dave charity boxing match?

Okay, care to tell me in which posts Dave is "attacking" you?

What I meant is that he has left in the posts which *other people made* where they are having a go at me and not contributing anything useful / further derailing the thread. So I don't understand why it's ok for people to post that crap while Dave prevents me from replying by deleting my posts.

Okay, I've re-read the whole thread again and I still can't see where anyone has "attacked" you in a post. Disagreed with you, yes - attacked you, no. Unless you are referring to Alex's post where he is telling you to get over yourself? I assume not, as your replies following that particular post remain intact anyway.

So it's fine for Twojoe to interject for no reason other than to have a go at me, and for someone to write a 6 paragraph post making all sorts of accusations about me at which point Dave decides the thread has gone off topic and starts deleting any response I made?

If you look at the first page, it wasn't me who derailed the thread, it was actually alex that started turning it in an argument. Fair enough if someone disagrees with me, I don't have a problem with that, that is what the site is for isn't it, discussion. But telling someone to get a grip and so on as Alex did is just uncalled for and bound to elicit unpleasantness.

If Dave actually knew what he was doing he would have deleted *that* post and the thread would probably still be only a few posts long and with no arguments.

Incidentally, I posted this thread itself because I started a thread pointing out these problems in the way Dave is abusing being a moderator, entirely legitemate criticism, which Dave then deleted!

I'll ask again - show me the posts where someone has attacked you. Because I'm not seeing it.

I've just linked you to one, then there is one by twojoe and the huge one by Alex which is nothing but a diatribe against me.
If you think these kind of posts are ok, that's fine, in which case you or Dave ought to allow me to respond in kind to that type of bullshit first of all, and in the future I will be less restrained because I've obviously been overestimating the level of politeness you expect from users.
I don't care if someone disagrees with me, but they can do it without making personal digs at me. That's not my problem, that's your moderators problem, and if they can't do their job properly I suggest you find someone else who can.

At no point do i have a personal go at anyone in said thread. I will state 'again' that I was referring to the post by Alex and the way he said what he said and nothing more. It could relate to anything and anyone and I also said that I hadn't read much of what 'Stripey' or anyone else for that matter, wrote. If anyone was to consider what I wrote as a 'personal attack' then I would suggest they may be getting a little paranoid!
