[quote="Andrew G"]Nothing to do with not accepting criticism or welcoming Toks, personally I think it's a fairly friendly forum. I think with most it's a case of not being that keen on having their ride posts pissed on (whether a joke or not) by someone who has appeared to have definite views on the club's rides and what people should say about their ride without ever seeming to post a report on their rides, or organise a ride for others to enjoy.

Perhaps it just me, but I found jojo's comments quite amusing and although he has obviously stirred it up a bit I think he is trying to make a point. Ok a bit long winded but as Andrew Green mentioned we are a cycling club not the mafia then let the guy/girl have an opinion on the cr and let people debate, rant etc (isnt that what forums are all about?) Remember we are a club of over 300 members and a very small % post on this forum and kicking this person down for a controversial opinion will only scare those who may be thinking about posting an "opinion". This forum is one element of our club and a window to potential new members and if we come across as not being very inclusive and completely dismiss a persons comments then to me that feels a bit to use Andrew's phrase "mafia"like.

[quote="marco"]Jojo is a recurring troll who uses a multitude of false identities and has tried to cause trouble since 2005 on the forum (and previously succeeded). I may not like some aspects of the way club runs have always been organised lately but I like people who try to derail the club while hiding behind false fronts even less.

Just trying to be amusing

[jon avery]

Is it me or are there cracks begining to appear within the club? It seems to me the comments are getting more than just tongue in cheek, or maybe i'm reading it all wrong

[Antloony]

Shut it Jon. If we want your opinion we'll ask for it ok.

[jon avery]

Very Good
