Nasher's Blue

[pitmaster 3,578]

That was a mistake shutting down the old Neeld puts heat on Demons thread Nasher.

It was fascinating to be able to review how members responded to Neeld's early comments. It also stands as a warning to pretty much everyone who contributes to this site to be a bit more careful about how we respond and what we find convincing.

It was doubly interesting to see some of those who are generally only too quick to criticise fall for Neeld's hard man talk. And impressive to see a couple of posters who suggested caution.

I am going to cut everyone who fell for Neeld's PR some slack, however, because they were reading his comments via the press. What might look impressive in black and white on the page could have come across differently if delivered face to face, and that I suspect is where things ran off the rails. Hard messages must be delivered at times, but they should be accompanied by care for the person who is copping it.

Nasher's blue?  Cheer up Nasher!  Everything's going to be OK.

Nah, it’s annoying when people bump current topics off the most prominent part of the forum with ancient stuff that has no currency. My stance on that hasn’t changed since 2005. I’m not stopping anyone from reading old threads.

I missed that bump. Some tremendous work there from the usual suspects.

I only brought that thread back to prove I have the memory of a elephant, so if I say you said something 7 years ago, and someone says back I never said anything of the sort you have cos i remember, and will prove it.
