Wow Severin - bad news about examinator indeed, but I'm not all that surprised. I hope he reconsiders and returns in time.

A while back I was thinking similarly, and created a gmail address so that I could stay in touch with my OLO 'friends' if I inadvertently fell foul of the unwritten rules again.

If needed, I can be contacted at cjinexile@gmail.com :)

Welcome back!

Funny story about the Valiant, BTW :D

Welcome back Severin,

- funny you should agree with Johnny (you're very alike I noticed)

Examinator was one of the first posters I encountered on OLO - he was having a barney with Houellie at the time...sort of introduced me to the rough and tumble of OLO - hope you reconsider, examinator.

C.J. - I thought you might've been considering exiling yourself - glad you returned to the fold.

Dear Severin,

Welcome back dear heart, and Thanks for
all your kind words.

I'm going to miss Examinator dreadfully.
I also hope that he will reconsider.
He's been my life-line in so many ways on this Forum.
I've always looked forward to his postings, and
if he's reading this - "Examy, please come back, we
need you, your kind heart, your wisdom... and to keep
company in the naughty corner!"

fraccy.. have I missed something ? were you banned or self exiled or something ?

I was a bit stunned at your remarks like:

"niggardly thread - expecting others to find anecdotes without starting with one of his own until AFTER your good self provided one"

I had to shake my head after that... just so you can possibly do some reflecting on how your mind is currently working.

a) I originally submitted a thread with my 2nd post as my own experience.
b) It was rejected "too much detail"
c) I resubmitted being more circumspect.. and it was accepted.

So, in all honesty..don't you feel your remarks are a bit uncalled for ?

I can't for the life of me see why you need to turn a 'neutral' thread which has the intention of providing a release from the current political mood into some kind of 'niggardly' whatever ...

Have a good sleep.. go for a walk in the bush.. anything to lift this rather heavy grudge thing off your shoulders.

There's more to me than the small container you seem to imprison me in... I'm glad foxy didn't let any of our previous 'clashes' interfere with her kind attitude of taking things as they come at the time.. not a bad example I'd say.

cheers

'I expect Houllie & Co to be really upset about my favourite anecdote - they like to think I am a vile old crone, heh heh.'

I'm not sure where you got this impression? I've never commented on your appearance or what I would imagine your appearance to be or in fact that I would bother to imagine such a thing. Though now after this latest comment added to a few others like it that I vaguely recall, I perceive you to be quite insecure about your appearance. Which would lead me to believe you're probably not so attractive, which I mention only because you seem to be concerned about how I may perceive you.

Anyway I wouldn't worry Fractelle, beauty is only skin deep. I'm sure in real life you have a great personality, even if it doesn't appear so from reading your posts.

PS: Examinator will be back. He's just a drama queen. Good to know that another of the 'morally superior' manners police has fallen foul of the moderator, and taken his bat and ball and gone home.

How come I've missed all the excitement?

What did old stuffed shirt do to get himself banned?

If that doesn't get him out of the woodwork, nothing will, you know how he loves me.

We should have a special thread for all posts that are banned, excluded etc, so we can see what should not have been said. I'm sure it would be the most popular of all.

Apart from Foxy's post, this is not that humorous, really.
