Response to Spectre's post in Saxon's diary thread. It appears I'm blocked from responding there.
I asked Sax a question in his diary - or "safe space " as some now like to call it - WTF !
“Looking good sax.
Not many losses so far.
Takes some doing.
Not had any double ups lose either ?”
I never questioned his integrity. One of the reasons I asked was out of interest, and the other main reason was due to previous conversations he's had with me privately. And other comments he's made on the forum around disclosure and transparency.
I have also never, ever told anyone what they can and cannot do. Although I can think of something right now.
Stop putting words in my mouth, it's libellous and rude, and above all else ignorant.
Sax also accused me of chasing TOTG away last year, this is not true, I expressed my personal opinion of how the diaries had evolved from their original intention, in my own manner/style in general chat and mentioned no names, on purpose, as I think about things like this.
Society is full of people today who form opinions without Fact checking first, they live in a bubble of their own making. This is sad.
FYI - here is part of what SAX said on that occasion in TOTG's diary (not private)
To be honest, I do agree with Quevega strongly and wasn't surprised when he weighed in on this.
I predicted he would, to a FJ colleague of mine, offline less than a day before Q struck.
If only my Marshman antepost bets had been so accurate -some rollups down there.
Its not great to read a lot of dick-swinging on Diaries, whist accepting that at least it's taken it away from happening on the main race threads.
The diaries can generally look wierdly successful on unreported rollups, if actual Rollup losses arent recorded regularly and at a high enough and realistic level.
So, with this information in mind, I expected a straight forward reply, instead I got an attack on my character, motives, etc etc, made up of denigrating and disparaging remarks towards me with no humour (I'd have been fine with that) - Moderators would normally have got involved in this instance had it been the other way around . I have no problem with that by the way as they are human beings and this is not a job for them, and it was a tricky situation.
If you come on a public forum and are not man enough to deal with questions, put politely, then that's not my problem.
I cannot control peoples mentality, self awareness or memory of what they've said previously, I can only control my own as best as I can.
If individuals want to then decide to not take part, then that's a real shame as I said when you took your ball home.
Sax also referred to me as pumped up and self important.
You've got to be having a laugh.
You have my word, that I will not threaten to leave the forum unless other members are banned because they asked me something simple, and I'll definitely not delete all my posts. I'm sure the list of porn stars has brought many hours of joy, and I wouldn't want that to stop. I'm no martyr, but I do masturbate.
I know both yourself and Sax and all like minded people are decent people, and your input is as welcome on here as everyone else, there is no heirarchy or ranking of members in terms of respect or not in my mind. You appear to have a different opinion ?
I'd happily speak with Sax to sort out this shit, and hopefully persuade him to remain a significant contributor, as it's obvious how much he adds.
I'd also be happy to walk away if this the only thing that will secure his return.
Can't be fairer than that.
PS, just cos I've made some effort at jokes, and used the word masturbate, doesn't mean there's some serious intent included also.
