I can't help but feel I played a part in pissing him off, I wont mention the post but when I mentioned it was nothing more than light hearted humour he never responded.Kai wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 5:09 pmHe's fine, been in touch with him a few days ago, sorry to say but in short he got fed up with all the jibes, and as everyone knows helping stubborn newbies is a thankless job most of the time.spreadbetting wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 4:41 pmDid wonder where Shaun had disappeared to, hopefully he's all OK as not like him to disappear this long.
He also feels that the forum is a bit too liberal at times, particularly in terms of politics and such, which Peter is probably well aware off since his inbox is full of Shaun's complaints.
But IDK why that bothers him so much, seeing people freely express casual racism and whatnot, freedom of speech is a whole thing and I have no real problem with that, it's not like Peter can actually moderate any of it even if he wanted to.
That is exactly what it was (humour) & the way i believe it was perceived from the responses never even crossed my mind. I did consider apologising for it, but then if I didn't intend it that way my apology would of been nothing more than words for something never intended to offend.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid but the timing suggests otherwise. I hope to see him back soon and also hope he sees that my intentions weren't to belittle, mock or make fun of him.
I think in future I will stick to dry and direct conversation, it's sort of ruined the forum for me a little.
