Contrary to what Roly thinks, I come down on his side here. Now, his outburst was definitely over the top, but if I’m completely honest, I was shocked to see GW’s threat to Roly on here;
I have, of course, to date respected your wishes. But if the pressure from fellow members to tell all becomes too intense, I might not be able to bear it and I might weaken. Let's hope that doesn't happen.
To me, that was completely unnecessary and it seemed like he was just using bully-boy intimidation tactics as a means of making Roly feel uncomfortable here – and that is just not on.
We all have a bit of banter here, and we all give as good as we get, but making personal threats to
anyone on here really does overstep the mark. On top of that, I’m sure that if someone’s personal details were posted on here with malicious intent, the person who was on the wrong end of that (in this case, Roly) would be perfectly within their rights to take action against either the individual who put the details up or the site itself (sound familiar?).
I don’t want this ill-feeling to continue, which is why I stayed out of it until now. However, it seems like this one will drag on, hence my post. So, just to clarify; Roly, your outburst against GW was most definitely excessive, but if I were in a position where someone was threatening to reveal my personal details (against my wishes) on a very public forum, I think I’d object just as strongly. GW; it’s nothing personal mate, and I’m sure it was all part of the banter, but threatening someone in such a way really is taking it a bit too far.
So – Roly may well have won £55k. If he did, then well done to him. If he didn’t, then he’s certainly doing a good job winding us all up, isn’t he? I suggest that we all stop taking this so seriously and just chill out a little.
For what it’s worth – if the Chavs lose tonight, I will be certain within myself that there was no conspiracy!
