Ali - I think you don't come across very well on your posts alot of the times. I'm sure you find it funny, but writing a comment on an internet board provides no real way of showing how the post was meant by the poster.

As a result you come across as a PIA - perhaps more often than you would think. But we all have said things which we have either regretted after or have been taken not as they were meant to...

On the flip side I do think that some of the comments you make are very nice and upbuilding.

But it does seem as though there are almost two Ali's posting sometimes...

Ali - I honestly hope that helps provide an insight of somekind, it was written to be positive and I hope thats how it comes across.

I agree Tall, I think Ali makes a rod for his own back a lot of the time, but then he does take as much as he gives, I've read numerous posts making derogatory comments about Ali's physique. I personally have avoided any form of confrontation with anyone as I do not know any of you personally but have gained great respect for all, lets face it, we all share the same passion/hobby/lifestyle/obsession and we all come on to a forum such as this to be involved in a community of like minded people and improve through help from others.

Sorry Cal, alot of the acrimony began on this site before I joined so I have only seen a little bit so am in no position to point blame etc so prob shouldn't have commented on the matter. I understand that people have disagreements, and if someone abuses u, then of course you should have the right to reply.

[crazycal1]

Agreed, its not cricket to comment on a thread when you have specifically been asked not to.

Whats said has been said move on from it... I have no beef with you or anyone else on here, i take whatever stick you or your mates hand out and i dont hold any grudges, life is to short to hold onto that anger, let it go. Once you have let go you will find that life is actually better.

You know a better person just lets go and moves on. Yes you have offended me but am i still offended? NO! not at all, because ive moved on, today is a new day.

[Squatty]

That all sounds very magnanimous and honourable Ali.

At the same time, it doesnt really acknowledge why people may get offended by your comments in the first place.

It is one thing to take responsibility and say "I move on" when a dispute happens. What I dont hear is responsibility being taken for the deregotary comments.

Or, better still, the acknowledgement that having so many people offended by your comments, may suggest that the feedback you have given may actually be offensive.

One person offended = the problem may be with them
Two people offended = the problem may be shared
More than two people offended = the problem is almost certainly with you.
