Agree with you blues man, if Japan slotted their kicks they could have won this, something they will have to work on.

Well, maybe - except what did you do?  You politely asked someone whose screen personality (and I would presume his outside personality as well) is combative, insulting, and narcissistic to tone it down.  Nothing more.  And the response was more or less telling you to pissoff.  

This is/was a guy who would hijack threads which stunted a lot of conversation, was insulting and demeaning to people with with whom he disagreed, and generally came off as an ass.  And all you did was prevent another thread from going down the rat hole.

In my mind, exactly the job of a mod.  And if he was not over the top yet in that particular thread, we can be confident he was on his way and it was likely coming.

And, yes, losing Biltong, or anyone like him who contributes positively is unfortunate.  And more so if some people made him bitter enough to slam 606 somewhere else, which is clearly not good.  In the whole this is a good group.  But there will always be people who seem to lodge up your rectum like bad Mexican food.  That's life.    

My suggestion is we move on.  We are all here to talk some Rugby and have a laugh. Ain't so hard.  

You a good dude, mate.

About my name or growing up?

I'd be happy to lose the 'on 606v2' bit. It's a tad tautological.

Very true. We Cyrils are a select breed. In an exclusive way and not a 'local shop for local people' kind of way you understand

Have you had a haircut, mate?

I have seen it on other forums; the author of a thread may delete posts.

Thanks for noticing. It was getting a bit long at the sides. 5 characters is quite long enough for the summer

Thing is, stag, that feature got abused on old 606 where a 'sensitive' author could delete all posts he/she didn't agree with and the whole thread could stop making sense pretty quickly.

Agreed - don't sweat it, Breaker. Important to recognise the difference between doing something wrong and the fallout resulting from validly telling someone what they don't want to hear.
