Many thanks teddgull for pointing out what merse must have meant, that must be happening because the code I put in is changing it in the last 100 as well. Not sure it is a real problem as such, but I will remove the code if members feel it is.

I received three Pm's from members who feel the blog is getting rammed down their throats. Merse put in a post last night he had added to his blog, that was fine, but he did it again today. The plain facts are not everyone wants to read it and I let merse put up a thread that allowed him to let us all know he had a blog, I have to consider the views of all the TFF members and not pander to just one.  Wow ~ three pms from a membership of how many? You obviously feel you have to pander to some very small minded little people harbouring big issues. You're quite right, not everyone wants to read my blog, I wouldn't ever dream that they would, and in reality no one HAS to read it; just as they don't HAVE to read my contributions on here but it seems they can't be adult enough to exercise their own self control without creeping to you so I'll do it for them and delete my account as from now. |

Nothing to sort out Aussie mate, I received three Pm's from members who feel the blog is getting rammed down their throats.

The plain facts are not everyone wants to read it and I let merse put up a thread that allowed him to let us all know he had a blog, as I did for Joe Barlow. I have offered to put up a proper link if he wants me to, so as far as I'm concerned I been more than fair in my actions, it should be remembered I have to consider the views of all the TFF members and not pander to just one. A case of selective quoting if you ask me, as I offered to put up a link just for him. |

I don't like to hear Westlife/Abba/Mika/Take That/Gareth Gates/Any X Factor winner or runner up/Peter Andre/Girls Aloud /That Horse face woman et all - If I do I will TURN OFF the radio or swap channel - Its my choice.

Come on guys........get it sorted by pm/phone.....lets not ruin this great day......please I'm very sorry longeaton if todays events on the TFF have ruined your day, after such a great performance by the team, its the last thing I would want to happen. The last time there was a similar problem, I put my hand up and took the time to explain to merse how things happened, how it was and why I reacted in the way I did, I'm only human and not some tough hard and cold man inside. The events that day simply became to much for me, I can't and would not want to change who I am. I do despair at times when I think about some of the personal attacks and abuse that has been aimed at me on this forum, I do question at times if with all I have going on in my life, if I really need the aggravation I do get. I give so much of my own time for free, trying to provide what I believe is a good forum, I don't always get everything right, but I have always tried to listen too everyones wishes and where I have been able to make the changes on the forum I have been asked to, I have. Merse has left of his own free will, he is always free to rejoin if he wanted too, as for everyone else, well we can let him leaving effect our forum, or we can just get on and continue to add and post our views and by doing so, we will keep the TFF very much alive and well. I thank everyone who has supported the forum to date and trust you will still play a very active role on the TFF, we have together made the forum what it is and I hope that together we will keep this the great forum I believe it is. many thanks Dave R |

this forum is as strong and varied as its members. I am saddened by Merse's decision but it is up to him. We still have some fantastic contributors and will go from strength to strength.
Hopefully, Merse will decide to return.
Dave, you do a great job and please continue because we all love you!!

Don't think so - not this time. It's a great blog and why not give it a few adverts on here...at least Merse bothers to update his.
Shame some small-minded folks decided to complain and force Dave to start editing other people's posts.
A real shame.

It was one post Andy and his advert put up on Saturday night was not touched, once was enough and no one had a problem with that, the forum has been very fair, but then merse has always wanted things just his own way and in life you can't always have that and on a forum, you do need to consider other members, its not always about Merse. |

This seems to happen every other month between the 2 of you. You both seem to delight in rubbing each other up the wrong way.
Maybe you should have sent Merse a PM asking if he could refrain from putting stuff about his blog on his posts instead of just editing them.
That said I dont see how it offends anyone, it is only a link to his website and he is not gaining financial advantage from it, so why 3 people felt the need to complain is beyond me.
If you read his blog you will find some interesting stuff. And before you ask I am not one of his London mates and frequently take issue with some of his comments but his posts generally add to this forum.
I think as usual he has been a bit rash deleting his account and hopefully he will return to entertain and infuriate us.
Please dont take this as criticism of your forum Dave as you do an excellent job and it must be hard when people take issue with you.
Hopefully everyone will kiss and make up and it will be business as usual.

He has put up every time he has updated is blog and I have not had any problems with him doing so, I fully understand how some felt by putting it up on Saturday and Sunday was too much.
Not everyone is a merse fan and I feel by just removing the part from his post today was nothing very bad. Merse has delighted in inflicting abuse on so many, has never cared about anyones feelings, his actions tells me all I need to know and to think how he has called so many thin skinned in the past.

What a load of old poppycock! So because someone actually bothered to update their own personal site a couple of times in 48 hours they get complaints about their adverts....jeez some people really do complain for complaining's sake!
Would you honestly have deleted parts of a post from, say, Joe if he had posted two updates to his blog and advertised them, and someone had complained? Somehow I don't think so.
Although I am one of Merse's friends, and it is disappointing to see him react to the post being edited by leaving, I can fully understand why he did it, because he is a man of principle.
And I fully agree with everything Mattpuma said in his post as well.
Seemingly you weren't happy to read complaints about your own headline to the Andy McFarlane thread, yet you are happy to action complaints about Merse's completely harmless blog updates.
Double standards methinks.
Back to lurking and goodnight.

Dave, when will you learn that it's only when you assume the role as censor that you create these problems for yourself and forum?
