PLEASE NOTE:
To respond to Fletty post.... The wrath of no moderator(s) was incurred nor was he called a liar or teller of deliberate untruths or a breaker of any rules arbitrary or otherwise.
In my post (a copy of which is below) I was simply pointed out that the wrong information had been posted about Wheelinround being banned from the forums for a month. I was assuming the information was wrongly given to him by Wheerinround. At the time of Fletty's post 12 June Wheelinround's ban had been lifted for almost a month as his one week ban ended 13th May. So Fletty wasn't being accused of telling a deliberate untruth, just passing on misinformation from Wheelin' which he (Fletty) thought was the truth.

Maybe someone might like to contact him and see what the real reason is for his unusually long absence.
But no matter what don't come back and say he is banned as he definitely isn't. He may just be upset and not wanting to play any more.
If for some reason he can't get on to the forums please let me know and I'll do what I can, when I can, to sort out his problems..... (with connection, nothing else).
Fletty also received a pm from Big Shed after his post was edited to take out the wrong information. See below for part of pm.

Just to correct the information you put in open forum, wheelinround is not serving out a 1 month suspension from the forum.
He was given a 7 day ban on the 5th of May for contravening the forum ToU and that finished quite some time ago.
If people have a problem with something being edited from their post(s) or a comment made by Admins or Mods, they should report the post or contact the moderators or admin in a pm and ask for clarification. It isn't always easy to moderate these forums and some people, often for no good reason, get the wrong end of the stick. But saying they have raised the ire of moderators and leaving the forums without even a word to the Mods or Admin which could have straightened out a really minor misinterpretation of what has been said or done, isn't really the right thing to do by themselves, the mods, the members or the forums.
I would like to think that Fletty was above turning his back and walking away from the friends and the forums which have been a good part of his life for the past 12 years. Especially as it appears to be due a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of what was said.
Fletty:If my post gave you the impression you had incurred my wrath and that I thought you a liar, then I humbly apologise as this was not the intention.:B
Nor was it the intention of Big Shed in his pm to you. Nothing could have been further from our minds.
If you decide not to return you will be missed by your many friends and those who's lives you have touched with your contributions to the forums.
If you do decide to return I'm sure you will be warmly welcomed back and a quiet cheer will go up around the forums.
Cheers - Neil :U
