Then I am very surprised, given..................
Quote: Hercules Grytpype Thynne @ 8th October 2023, 11:36 AMWHA? How is that possible, as the only person who could do that would be Aaron and I think he wouldn't give a toss as to who is or isn't on a football thread.

If you have an email contact for Radish can you pass it on to me so I can contact him re this forum.
Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ 8th October 2023, 11:07 AMHi Horse, well done on your fab start to the season, consistently picking winners so far so keep it up then you can at least claim a moral victory, as I understand you've been prevented from re-joining the forum, so you're not able to post. All best.
Can you share this sort of information with me, please Kipper. I am the forum admin - haven't you seen my posts complaining about Radish not posting. If he can't post that puts a new complexion on it.

I'll find out.
Update on Radish
I have been informed that although he was banned for a while he is currently Resigned. That is he chooses to not participate and is NOT BANNED.
Therefore nothing changes. Radish is not a member in good standing and he cannot currently win the League.
He will not be deleted from the League because I want as many people playing as possible and want to show that the door is open. All he has to do is start f**king posting like everybody else.

Hang on let me see the post. You'll have to contact Stephen G for that info, as he got the email so should have contact details if Horse agrees to it. I'm just passing on what I was told, that Horse tried to re-join "but they weren't having it". Hope he and Stephen don't mind that.

Well yes that did happen to be why I posted it.
I will ask Horse. He gives permission for his email to be passed on - not me.

And that's from Aaron I presume? Like I said, contact Stephen and you then may be able to get it from Horse's mouth. The rest is here-say and conjecture until this is done.

Exactly.
To be fair, it was him who requested it:

I don't want to be a part of a forum which trades in cancel culture.
Thought it was traditional and small c conservative.
Turns out to be the usual fascist style liberalism.
Which is not liberalism at all but fascist.
Quote: A Horseradish @ 14th July 2022, 8:10 PMThat's kind. I am in the process of withdrawing from a number of things. This week two lots of counselling and the democratic process. Shortly people. And mainly people at large. I have two parents in their 90s who are increasingly worrying and time consuming and it is uncertain if I will shortly have a place to live in. Modern conventional attitudes are not for me. I find them too confrontational, too prissy, too dictatorial, too serious and just simply too alien from who I am and what I know. I really, really do want to leave. The kindest thing would be to let me go. I don't want to be here anymore. Please try to arrange this for me with those who run this for me and my family. This will improve my life chances. Thanks. Best regards to you.
For the record, I guess the other two points to make are that while formally not diagnosed as Asbergers/Autistic, I scored with counsellers 137 out 150 last year on a recognised scale which makes me in effect an absolute cert on it (which explains a lot in my life) and that while I am unequivocal about my gender (male) I am lifelong asexual. Hence, I do not have too much time for people who have hissy fits with situations which are actually more easy for them with asusmptions - wrong - about who is doing any writing. The biggest problem in people today is that they don't ask but just react. But I would prefer not for this to be played out in public anymore (where it should not have been started) and I would like to leave tonight. Thanks.
There is actually no point anymore. There is no way back. Because those who run this site have succeeded in smashing and destroying the comedic enigma. They should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for the sheer emotional distress they have caused to me. For as long as they do not remove me from here, they are continuing with the torture.

Not really. It clarifies that it was he, himself, who was determined to have his account deleted (and why) and suggests that, having finally succeeded in achieving that, maybe he doesn't want all this fuss trying to get him reinstated. Of course, if we know for a fact that he's changed his mind, fair enough.
And we don't know if re-joining is an easy or more complicated process. I found it hard enough joining.

Billy, thanks for re-posting these posts of Radish from last year. I wish I'd seen them when he'd made them. Rather bizarrely I've never posted in the 'things that piss you off' thread. I was aware that Radish had elderly parents that he was looking after and some of his health issues but not some of the other things.
Message to Horse/J
J, please know that you are very welcome on this thread - from me and others. I don't care if I trail you for the whole season if you post here and enjoy yourself. I'll even have an Arsenal comp and a 'Spuds are shit' one in your honour. If you've stuck with the counselling, don't give it up. It's always better than nothing, even if the sessions make you feel angry or feel down. Don't let cancel culture or neoliberals get you down either. They're wankers. You don't have to post elsewhere on the forum but you can come here and have a laugh, we'd all be glad to see you.

Well said Godot.
Horse! You'd be most welcome from me 🙂
The match in the powder barrel here ...
Well, I wouldn't have known about that, as a thread headed "Tory leadership" would have been a complete anathema to me, but I can see why he got upset as Aaron clearly felt something had to be said, which Horse took umbrage to, but I don't see why he should then not post on a football thread which he belonged to, and successfully.
Bloody Internationals - me team is falling like dead flies. Have they no consideration! 😒
