It's not quite as simple as "taking sides" and I'm not choosing to ignore any "truth", Monty. Garry runs the TW Forum. He pays for it and he hosts it for us because, initially, our hosts's database server kept corrupting the database and then it just made sense because we simply don't have time to manage it ourselves.
He also helped us out big time in hosting the main site's news database when our hosts killed access to it for something that ultimately turned out to be their fault.
I'm trying to piece together what went on and while I can't ignore the number of criticisms of the decisions Garry took and I'm troubled by quotes like "I am God around here," it would be churlish of us to have cut him loose on the basis of events that we weren't privy to at the time.
I've never met him so can't vouch for him personally; I can only go on the service he has offered ToffeeWeb.
It seems that Monty and others can see no reconciliation with Garry and that's entirely up to them but I would like to see Garry extend the olive branch to the others and see if we can't put this behind us.
No one says you can't post on more than one forum and there's no reason why GoT can't co-exist alongside the TW Forum either.
Finally, not sure what you mean by "Feedback", Monty.
Cheers,
LL
.Feedback is simply that Lyndon or should I have said 'keep us informed'
You say that myself and others 'can see no reconciliation with Garry' from my present perspective that is correct. Anyone who knows me will tell you I've been straight down the middle about this matter all along, that is the only way to be. I cannot reconcile with someone who threatens me for fun, addresses me in the terms he uses 'listen up you fuckers', distorts the truth by any means available, suggests a clique which he set up and goes as far to insult my intelligence at every turn. His clique point is laughable, who is he referring to Rob Japan and myself, anyone reading this will fall about laughing as Rob and I could hardly agree on the date, but we respect each other hence friend Garry doesn't even enter that league. Having said all that I was also the greatest supporter of wanting this forum to maintain its TW links thus ensuring a continuation of everyone's heritage, gosh I'm a bad person. I would quite willingly retire from both forums if Garry was prepared to do the same, but no he hasn't even got the moral fibre to come on here and apologise himself, he has you to run his messages for him.
You say it is not as simple as taking sides, it would be if you wanted it to be but no you show an admirable loyalty to someone who doesn't deserve it. I must say that your claims about the work he does is astonishing because he was never doing anything at the forum, Danny and Dylan did it all including paying part of the bills and providing equipment, possible your friend has failed to mention that, wouldn't surprise me.
I'm not a well person and to be honest I find this entire episode depressing, shameful to the Everton cause and an embarrassment to one and all. It seems that some will be welcomed back to TW with open arms, I am certain that I will not be one of those postee's as telling the truth offends 'he that must be obeyed' In the interest of harmony I'm prepared to pack in both forums for the sake of my health and for the sake of unity, I trust Garry has the bollocks to do the same, he wont because in his world they don't exist, he is a bully no more no less.
My offer by the way will remain on the table for as long as you like Lyndon, I trust it will be conveyed to the all seeing eye. It is my belief that the lads coming to this forum deserve better than this and I hope my offer helps lance the boil known as Garry.
. Am sure others on here would actually vouch for the fact that I defended him publicly numours times on the forums, even when I didnt agree with him, simply because he was an admin, basically in the same way as you have quite rightly done in this thread. But am sure you can understand why I would just like to know out of curiosity why I have been banned without explanation after years of doing most of the donkey work on the forums.
