However, you have contributed far more to the BoLS community than he has, and I would beg you to reconsider.
If someone came to a single thread and started repeating the same one-track mantra again and again, they would be considered trolls and eventually would meet the just retribution of the banhammer. We can only hope that soon the Mods will realise Weeble is doing this not with one thread, but using the site as his battleground of choice to pursue his single minded issue of hate against GW, and is offending people to the extreme point which you have reached. I am sure in what is known as one of the more reasonable sites out there, they will clamp his behaviour with the force of an exterminatus and you feel able to return.
Dear Weeble,
I will try to keep my comments succinct (unlike the majority of yours) and without the benefit of my awe inspiring vocabulary of obscenities, which were this my website, I would not hesitate to unleash in your direction.
I respect loyalty to ones friends, and even to companies that inspire loyalty. But, your approach to the CHS issue became flawed when you actively encouraged people to take action whose intent was to damage GW, ie actively seek to purchase elsewhere purely based not on cost or quality of goods, but purely based on something not being GW. Your timing wasn't random; it coincided with a supposed massive loss warning (which somehow never materialised) at a time you thought the company vulnerable and prone to such histrionics. Whilst I would happily admit GW is many miles from perfect, encouraging people to kick a man whilst down smacks of mob mentality no true gentleman would like.
Your coming on the site not to contribute to all forums, but purely to ram the opinion that the GW case against CHS is doomed, down all our throats, is now beyond tedious - all the negative attributes I ascribe to your method of doing so above, apply and are growing - multiple posts in a row with acres of text.
Mr Big Red sometimes describes this as a bar where we should play rough but not throw punches, in that metaphor you have become the looney who comes up uninvited and sits down at your table, and then spouts his monotonous cack.
Quite frankly any sympathy I had for CHS has been long blown by you as their most vocal (only vocal?) supporter, who talks about them achieving pro bono representation as a new naive set of parents announce with great biblical wonder, the passing of the first stool of their firstborn child.
I wonder, having slated CHS for their patronising tone in trying to gain support, if actually you are a cover for them to brief supposedly legal privileged information to try and influence us and/or the case.
Quite simply in the Big Red bar scenario, you have passed the stage where being invited outside would be reasonable, and have arrived where a Begby-esque deployment of a flying pint glass would be acceptable by even the most passive of us.
Shame at you for boring away a long time contributor to this site Sir.
Mods
I hope that was you who locked his last drivel that drove away Old Paladin. I really think if you want to continue enticing (ex) GW luminaries to give interviews, you should be carefull how much of the bilious babbling banal bullshoit boll*cks you allow him to spout. Truly, BoLS lost would be DAKKA-SEERS gain.
