Dear Winford .....

[Moderator]

@Winford - As you seem to keep ignoring, or don't see, the warnings in your notifications.

Please stop being aggressive, provocative, rude and generally an unreasonable ass to the other forum members.

It's time consuming and frankly quite boring to have to keep deleting your posts.

You have earned the first negative custom title on the Forum :

Complete with a 24 hour ban.

 

[Stihldog]

You have earned the first negative custom title

Wait a second …so none of the other custom titles were negative?
THANKGOODNESS

 

[John_likes_bikes]

The internet has unfortunately given a voice to the underserving.

Definitely not. Even yours !

Hopefully even Winfords has a degree of humour connected to it. Whether Captain C sees that or not remains to be seen. We remain Hopeful.

I'm all for free speech , post what you want , but keep it chilled and respect all the users and their posts , everyone has an opinion but don't flame others just because it doesn't fit in with your mindset !

This guy is just out there with an ego his body cannot cash nicked that line , can you not just kick him off the forum, or change his name to Wankford , I do realise this is counter to free speech

I musta missed most of the drama also.
But the Mod handed out another label and explained a few things. I’m still confused .

He was bouncing around a bunch of threads trolling people with annoying close minded comments just to get a rise out of them.

I thought that was the whole point of forums

It is, but this one in particular seems to have a very low tolerance for those types, so he was dealt with in short order.

 

[Plummet]

I'd prefer to be capt cantankerous that "flash git"

But since I now own a Crestline, I guess I need to own the title of flash git.

 

[Bear-uk]

I think he should change his name to Winipedia as he thinks he knows everything

 

[volts]

It's fine to talk a bit of crap but this guy was just constantly pooping all over the board.

 

[Svarun]

I kinda liked.

 

[Svarun]

His posting style.

 

[Svarun]

Of one sentence per post.

 

[Stihldog]

I’m sure the mods might compare this Forum to a disjointed childcare centre sometimes. I don’t envy their position.

A few years ago there was a member in here (can’t remember the name) who was very knowledgeable and contributed quite often.…but sometimes rubbed members the wrong way .

But once he triggered me (my fault) and then he didn’t like my response. I can only imagine the amount of complaints about this member …but he walked a fine line.

I wonder what happened to him???

 

[Winford]

he thinks he knows everything

Well studied in history and mechanical topics, and physical fitness. And when people need help, I offer what I can. And I do get a little testy when people argue against facts.

 

[Winford]

Hopefully even Winfords has a degree of humour

Im all good im a happy camper. Retired old dude who rides a 900w battery dry and at speed, almost everyday!

Your point noted

 

[Winford]

It's fine to talk a bit of crap

I never liked bullys and happy to sling back what was thrown my way. Probably takes a little getting used to a more global audience.

 

[Astro66]

Come on ........ Winford is like "That Uncle". We all have them. Life would be pretty "Vanilla" without them .......

BTW ....... Winford ...... This is not an invitation to go all "Neapolitan" on us ......

 

[JP-NZ]

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

 

[Astro66]

Highly opinionated and unfiltered.

I have not been aligned with some of his comments. But the fact he is taking this thread in his stride and willingness to learn from it, shows intelligence. There is no need to insinuate other, especially when trying to encourage a different response.

My take anyway.

He stopped riding ebikes in favour of mtb's and thought there was little point in contributing anymore ..
I liked old Tartan Bollocks ..

 

[Winford]

an ego

In part yes, but you need to know the whole story. That is a joy for being alive! Not supposed to be. In the last 5 years the medical condition I have survived has given me a new outlook on life as a gift not to be wasted. Im tearing it up so to speak, "while I can." And putting my best foot forward. Just happy im above the grass and can still ride.

 

[Winford]

Those who like my posts are happier, more intelligent and better looking than those who don't; according to a study I made up!!!

 

[Astro66]

Uncle Winford is back ....... I did miss him .......

 

[Ridgydidge]

I thought about 1% of his posts had a grain of truth. That compares to 2% on average. Must improve or I’ll go ballistic.

What a load of malarkey……….
