If I didnt make that clear at the top of thread then thats my bad. But I notice that so far a discussion is being had on the subject matter without naming names until your post above...


Yes Fizz, you did make that clear mate so no worries there, but because the posts originally came from a thread about Plowsie, on a subject matter from that thread regarding his actions, there are a few intimated references.

When people have done something wrong they tend to feel worse when others carry on talking about it. You can’t stop that on a forum, it’s a discussion medium, it would be daft to say we can’t carry on talking about something.

I just read it from the perspective of "how would Plowsie feel reading this?", and putting myself in his position I would feel that the following were references to me. Rightly or wrongly, true/accurate or not, paranoid or not, human nature is human nature I would feel bad reading it as I'd think it was all just a continuation of the previous thread and therefore all about me.

Nobody has to agree with me or even think that I'm talking sense (Plowise might say I’m being daft), but I was just asking people to be sensitive (theres another thread about that too!) about how Plowsie would feel reading it and be careful to avoid any personal reference.
