GARY

[The Hodge]

Nice try, but stating that someone is ignored is a far cry from commenting on them whichever way you try and slice it.

The fact that you have written that you are ignoring him is enough of a comment in itself ..tell me if I'm wrong but I can't think it's for any other reason than you dislike him ..?

We'll agree to disagree that stating someone is ignored is the same as commenting on their persona/putting up a post about why they dont like someone. Otherwise this will be going backwards and forwards for ever and a day.

Heres a statement about Gary, and I'll make it personal and I'll also make it positive to keep you happy - Gary would be the first to say he doesn't need or want any minions to defend him.

Oh I totally agree..and you have obviously mistaken the fact that I was trying to defend him ..far from it .( I've had one or two run ins myself )
I was in fact only pointing out that your original post was a rather limp way of saying you didn't like him ..

Yep. In fact, it would probably piss him off, so I suggest we keep doing it.

Excuse me!

And I would point out that if you were indeed 'far from' defending him, why even bother getting involved with my post? Boredom? (rhetorical questions btw, don't bother replying).

And don't confuse limpness with diplomacy.

And don't confuse limpness with diplomacy.

OK.. I won't.
So I will agree that you were diplomatically trying to say that you didn't like him ..which to me sounds a little limp..
Is that better?
@Nicho ..I'd originally wanted the 5 minute version ..but probably need closer to the hour now ..

 

[The Hodge]

You’re very wise! I take it this mean that all diplomats are limp?

You should do life teaching. For sure I could use it. Except I don’t even take my own advice.

Me..wise?
Nah ..I just like talking shit and a good argument once in a while..

I always enjoy a Gary's take on things lol, very entertaining and mostly imo seemed very knowledgeable. Very easy to take written words out of context but with Gary I think you got it as blunt as it could be so very clear.
I wish him well and hope nothing serious has occurred but can't help thinking just maybe...... He's come to his senses and started actually wearing a helmet and gloves and now finds himself unable to work out how to get the new helmet back off and didn't get touch screen friendly gloves so unable to post in here anymore!!

Some people say he only rides recumbents now so check those forums.

 

[2WheelsNot4]

I've actually just discovered I've one member in my ignore list. Though for the life of me I cant remember when or why it was added.

Username - Gary

 

[Slowroller]

I'd only fault Gary in that what he thought worked well in Scotland worked in the rest of the world. Other than that, I agreed with the vast majority of his opinions. He suffered no fools, which is a tough position on an internet forum..... lol.

 

[Mcharza]

I actually miss Gary's comments. However, there was a lot of knowledge behind those comments.
Sometimes it got out of hand

Hope you are OK.

I can confirm communication with Gary He's absolutely fine and says he doesn't ride emtb much anymore so not much point posting here.
