Re: Nathan

I am so sorry to see that Ian has left. I found his posts informative and could see that he cared about helping. His heart is in the right place and many have benefited from his input. I found Nathan to edge towards self absorbed pedantic posts. They were all about him and all about what he was doing ... and it wouldn't stop. I did not see a desire to help others and and could not see that his heart was in the right place.

Regards, Scott D

Re: Nathan

I feel I should mention that I have re appeared...Firstly I'd like to thank those who posted here and e mailed me such positive comments about my previous contributions...I really do appreciate that...

I'd also like to say that I don't like to see anyone get banned from this forum and regard it as a regrettable event. Nathans project was an interesting one in many ways after all....Further, I have not suggested that course of action at any point, either on or off forum...There was a clash between myself and Nathan and my answer to what I new would be an ongoing negative situation was to withdraw for the general good, not to suggest a ban...

I would also point out that any idea he was banned to enable my return is factually incorrect and of course, no one individual has primacy over any other individual here on the forum...

Nathan managed that on his own based on the complaints made to Henk by other forum members and I would imagine, Henks observations and assessment of the situation generally....At the end of the day he is the arbiter of decisions on how this forum is run, as he should be...

I hope a line can now be drawn under this and 'normal service' can be resumed...Ian

Re: Nathan

Posting anonymously as I do not wish to voice my personal feelings publically. I must concour with Ron and several other members in voicing my discontent with Henk's decision. This message was sent via Facebook from a well established member of our community to Nathan......I feel several strong personalities have succeeded in bullying Nathan and forcing Henk to submit to their personal agendas. Myself and the majority of forum users have no problem with Nathan's posts and despite being constantly hounded Nathan never retaliated but instead voiced his viewpoint in a mature and constructive manner. Disappointed......

Re: Nathan

So you are not John Smith, you are Nathan using some someone else's computer?

From the start I have had no problem with your/his project, I enjoy discussing component changes, however "Mature" is not a word that can be used for Nathan, I'm beginning to wonder if is actual age is nearer 12.

This is Henk's site and I don't know who canvassed for Nathans removal, but I support it completely.

Re: Nathan

I like to think people would not be weak and have the courage to express their views, to which they are entitled, in their own name...If you have something to say, and you don't want to say it publicly, say it off forum and I'll do my best to address your grievance....

I have no 'axes to grind' at this point and I'd rather this didn't rumble on here and spoil everyone elses enjoyment as I have stated repeatedly...You have my e mail address..... Ian

Re: Nathan

Good your back so quickly, Ian, also good to see you already started up your much respected technical advice service again.

I regret the loss of Nathan, it is Henk his choice, but it looks obvious to me that your withdrawal from the forum because of your conflict with Nathan created the situation where a choice had to be made between you and Nathan......

Nathan acted quite different than we were used to here, but he wasn't abusive. At his young age and with his first M20 project he was already coming up with nice new details and research and I am sure he would have come up with lots of questions, pictures, ideas and theory's where we could learn from....

Or at least we could have learned how to deal with a guy like him......... skip his posts if he posts to much......ignoring his arrogance if it irritates.......insulting him like quite a few here did was clearly not the correct way.....

I am disappointed in the way this went, it surely doesn't deserve a medal :disappointed: :disappointed:

['your conflict with Nathan created the situation where a choice had to be made between you and Nathan......']

No...Definitely not..After your previous post suggesting this I was concerned that this might have been the case and wouldn't have found it at all acceptable if it was..

No one is going to get banned from here to favour my status..
I don't consider myself any more 'important' here than anyone else and nobody on the forum should think that either....

I therefore contacted Henk regarding that specific question...He assured me that was not the reason for Nathans ban, explained to me what it was and I don't doubt the honesty of Henks reply one iota nor do I question it...

On the other hand, I agree the whole situation went too far, got out of control and it wasn't a great result..Something not to be repeated....Ian

Re: Nathan

Sorry Ian, it looked like it but good to hear that was not the case........I do remember you were always in favour of an 'open' forum and that would be the opposite.
