I think your fixation with dotnet is getting the better of you. It's hardly a barrage of vicious abuse and unsubstantiated allegations, is it?  Let's get one thing straight, I am banned from posting on .net; not reading it. It's not the only, nor majority subject I post on here about; nor is it "off limits" as far as I know providing we are not derogatory or personally about it's "characters" Whether it is I reading it or you, I wouldn't reckon that to be a "fixation"; in fact[glow=yellow,2,300] I found it so banal as to probably not bother lurking again for a little while.[/glow] Well lets hope you're a Good boy and keep to your word ;D ;D Members of this forum are free to posts their views on .net .com .anything, good or bad, as they also free to post their views on this forum, good or bad. My view is that I'm glad I'm back posting again, nothing more or nothing less, I hope in time we will all be so busy posting about the game, what you're playing now, or busy putting photos in the gallery to share with other members, that we won't have time to talk about .net. The members should always feel free, to belong and post on both forums if that is their wish, this forum should not be seen, as a rival or competitor, but as a different forum, in its own right. This forum will not suit everyone, some may find it a bit slow, while others will enjoy the posts made by its members and will enjoy posting their replies and starting new threads. Some will prefer hitting the refresh button and reading the latest one line reply, mixed in with some excellent posts made on .net. Some will prefer being able to banter with other fans, all I will say is each to his own. This forum I believe will continue to attract the type of posters I set it up for and my only real interest, is to keep improving this forum and making sure it keeps its standards. |

While I agree with Jon in the fact that we should 'move on' I do think it was pretty poor form that one of the main protagonists in the anti Colin Lee camp had his partner sign up for .net and continue to stir things up about him being so 'arrogant' when she admitted she had not been to a TUFC game until Stafford towards the end of last season.
Strangely enough, now she is an 'ex-member' of .net, so yes maybe it was a pet project for someone (else).

I'm sure in time everyone will move on, Merse still feels a little sore ;D ;D as I say I just hope we get so busy, no one will have the need or time to talk about any other forums. |

Strangely enough, now she is an 'ex-member' of .net, so yes maybe it was a pet project for someone (else). Jon.................take that on board and do not accept that all you read is "kosher". Not everyone is as one faced as you would wish, and as a person I have always found to be pretty decent yourself; I'm not surprised that you may be somewhat taken in by others' (let's say) use of other people to project their own issue. Colin Lee is not paid by the Football club to be nice to all of the people all of the time, he is employed to be the head of the club's executive that is put in place to carry out the board's policies. If Colin feels it pertinent to jump in and demand that the Football Club's interests are not damaged by a forum that carries the Football club's name, then I feel he is perfectly at liberty to do so without derogatory and insulting assertions being laid before the public at large. To the run of the mill reader of any site appertaining to OUR football club, if it is "Torquay United. whatever" they will not unnaturally assume any views expressed to be a little more relevant to the club's policy than perhaps they should. Maybe that is incorrect on their part, but that is how it will be and thus Colin Lee would not want abusive or derogatory comments carried into the public domain that undermine the vital relationship the Football club has with it's sponsors/advertisers and commercial partners. When we post on a site that carries OUR football club's name, we have a collective responsibility not to bring the club into disrepute, and in the (admittedly short) history of this site, I don't recall anyone having done that. I do not have a "fixation" about anything other than OUR football club and I do not wish to see it or it's executive held up to ridicule or insult by anyone. I reserve the right to contribute to a thread that I did not start without being expected to be "censored" from afar by another. If the "staff" of this site wish me to amend or remove something that is another matter, but (trust me) on this thread they have not. |

Merse,
It beggers believe that Colin Lee seems to be the new "pet project". However its no coincidence its the same old faces dishing it out.
I cannot get my head around this whole debate/Bile.
I for one am proud that I cannot post on that other site. Colin is a friend and I feel upset for him, but I also know he is a man and will choose to treat them with the contempt they deserve. Keep it up dotnet your doing yourself a dis-service.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

I've had run-ins with sotongull myself in the past but recently had some computer problems and found him most helpful. Totally unlike the way he is described in fact and totally different to how i expected him to be. If you do as I did and check your statement for the relevant facts you will see that you are totally mistaken in what you've written. The ID you are referring to is someone totally different. I see plenty of posts containing some very wild accusations levelled at him on this site, perhaps you should do as i've done and not rely on other peoples opinions of the man and not be so ready to cast such wild and inaccurate accusations. I have passed on your comments to him and his response was that he has better things to do than bother with defending himself to those that know no better than to cast wildly false remarks like that. If I was you, capitalgull, I would ask that your post be removed. |

Nothing wrong with the post by capitalgull, he has not named any names.

Phil,
I would suggest most of us have had "run ins" with "the dotnet admin team" as he calls himself, however, there is an old saying about glasshouses and stones.

Phil, maybe you would like to ask him about the false accusations he made about me on dot.net & also how he revealed my name without my permission??

What interests me is the part of your post I have highlighted. You see I wondered why you wanted to make such a fuss about a thread I started and felt best that it was deleted. Only four people got to read it yet it was sent to S.Gull. Now I know two of those people would not have sent it, so do you want to come clean now. |

Dave, I have nothing to come clean about as you put it. As you are well aware from the pm chat we had, I told you exactly what i've just posted about. A little investigative work is all it takes to see who capitalgull is writing about and that he is totally wrong in what he is saying. I have no qualms admitting that I would pass on something said about someone in such a defamatory way. I raised concerns about things that were being written on here previously and do so again as I feel it is grossly unfair. Why would that be a problem?

I am very sorry to Dave R/Phil/Jon, and yes I admit I made an honest mistake with the original posting with regards to quite similar .net usernames. Please feel free to delete it as you see fit.
Apologies to all readers who may be non-members for any upset I have caused to anyone... on this occasion it is completely my mistake.
Hopefully honest mistakes are allowed on this forum - if not, consider me gone as soon as you want me gone.

No need to apologise to me, I was just surprised that such a mistake was made.
Dave, I was in contact by msn with sotongull who was giving me some help when I read the earlier post, if passing on that kind of information is considered a treasonable offence, I plead guilty, but it was obviously a talking point all things considered.

Phil,
Try not to make it a crusade, Capitalgull has apologised, Its a shame the other site cannot be so humble.

Let's get one thing straight, I am banned from posting on .net; not reading it.
