Default Sincere Apologies

Good evening gentlemen,

May I make an apology for my recent behaviour on this forum which resulted in a 5 day ban I let myself be drawn by some comments which I will not allow to happen again. I enjoy Scoobynet and being banned erased some of my pleasure. This came on top of a recent barring at my local which was not my fault.

No offence intended, I let myself down as well as my fellow netters

Best Wishes
Blutes

In the words of the John Smith advert

"Yer barred!"

I would not know what to do with myself if I got banned from SNet - probably have to go get a life or summat.

Absolutely - I followed a number of threads with interest but refused to get involved

At least you're man enough to hold your hands up

I never took any offence from the comments I read from yourself although I may of missed some, I thought you were having a laugh even if a little provocative. It'll be boring if everyone agrees with each other !!!!

Scoobynet spices my life up......god I need to get a life I reckon !!!!!!!

Thanks Elmer, I am sure many others did too, but certain members did not and it would appear I became the whipping boy, many of the responses I felt were also a form of trolling in my eyes and quite abusive. Quite why they didn't receive a ban is unfathomable. However that doesn't excuse my "biting" behaviour, I should know better at my age

It seems Scoobynet has lost some of its sense of spirit IMHO, it appears to me that good old fashioned English banter is not permitted anymore

I best shut up before I get another ban

Political correctness strikes again

How crap would life be if everybody were the same? We are entitled to our opinion so you say what you feel, no need to apologise, it's the ones that were against you that need to apologise. Welcome back mate.

In fairness you were subject to a lot of abuse and vitriol although you held your own. Heck if English banter is being curtailed in these waters then it's a sad state of affairs, banter is what we're here for.

Exactly, we are Englishmen and we are all man enough to take some stick and should be able to give back what we get However I felt an apology was in order as after re-reading my threads and responses I think I got a little out of hand I agree though some members did have to get rather personal which made me retaliate at their level, oops here I go again getting all controversial, stop it Bluto

Bluto..
You have the Kahuna's of an elephant, sir. it takes a big set of bollocks to stick a hand in the air and apologise.
fair play to you .
the banter betwen those with 'tunnel vision syndrome' in here and those of us that can see that there *are * other cars out there which are as good as , if not better in certain respects to the soooobr'oooo should be encouraged , it gives sense to an otherwise stagnant idealism that the Marque is irreproachable (which , lets face it, we ALL know it isnt)

Again, Fair play to you ,squire..

Thanks mate common sense prevails at last. I may have been a little disloyal by moving away from Subaru but I still love this forum as I believe it is THE best motoring forum (at least as long as free speech and banter between intelligent adults is concerned). Audinet or whatever it is (I haven't even bothered looking) will not beat the layout and the community sense which you get here. There are just a few people who...Bluto, stop it <another sharp slap> there you go again

Getting banned here is a bit like having nine points on your licence You have to watch what you are doing or face the consequences of your actions

what is trolling ???? i have seen it talked about lots in the last few weeks

good 1 bluto, I enjoyed the banter in most of your resent pro audi post and have always got board before they turned bad as it would seem, shame really that people have to get personal and rude for a better word and spoil what was an funny and interesting thread.
