give it a rest now.

For the sake of one of the best threads on efestivals, cant everyone just drop in completely.

theres wrongs on both sides plain to see, this thread has taken a down turn for the worse in the last few hours.

Its not my place to tell anyone how to go about their business, but perhaps the use of certain language hasnt helped matters.

so onwards and upwards,

trainers and raves in the sun

That's the problem with autocrats.

I enjoy reading this forum, this thread in particular. The standard of conversation is good, there's a great atmosphere and sense of humour between posters.

What a shame its let down by supercilious, holier-than-thou moderation, where people who are attempting to explain their opinion in a reasoned manner are treated like infants. I don't think the pictures should have been posted personally but the moderator has lost any credence with the way he talks to people.

One plus side though, all the hot air generated by this thread is bound to keep the clouds away from Glasto. That's how it works, isn't it?

And that's the problem with monocrats - they believe that their own view is shared by everyone and can't possibly be considered unreasonable by anyone.

If people hadn't acted like infants by acting on my requests that it stop over the last two days then we wouldn't be here. I had a decision to make - do I allow this site to be thought of unreasonably sexist by a number of right-minded people, or do I let the mob and their simple-minded mob mentality rule the roost.

It's only become necessary to talk down to people because they wouldn't get out of the gutter, and who think that's where this site should be. It never will be.

I think a new 'week to go - weather thread' needs to be started. This thread is not fun anymore :angry:

[haznutuk]

[covicymru]

Language has been terrible by ALL parties last few hours... dont think there was any need.

Anyone know what time that JACKONE does his forecasts?

How would we bully you? You're the one with the admin panel.

I do like it and I'm not going to leave unless I'm forced to. In the couple of years I've been here I'm pretty sure I've never seen you make a nice or remotely positive post, ergo putting a downer on everyone else's forum experience. Are you trying to argue that the last five pages were better than the ones before where there were certain images that I'm not trying to deny might offend some people? Because I think you're on your own there. I'm becoming aware that i'm turning into you here, so this will be my last post on the matter. May I ask as a humble citizen of your quite excellent website that you follow suit?

you're attempting to bully me into backing down from what is an indisputably reasonable position - it's indisputable because no one, however smart they think themselves, has been able to justify what I've asked to stop.

And given that you and many others have done that, how do you think any females might feel about trying to ask you of the same thing? Plenty have now waded in agreeing with the stance I've taken, but they clearly didn't feel able to do so until it was clear that it's just me who'd take any flak about it.

Your welcome to your views on how I run these forums, but there's a reason why these remain vibrant when others (including some that were once much busier than these) have died a death. It's because I won't allow the idiots to take over and drive the sensible ones away.

Yes, the more recent pages have been better - if nothing else, a number of people have realised the error of their ways (they've posted to say so), and the world is a better place for that.

I will keep defending the stance I've taken until such time as everyone has got it or has shut up about it.

I'm hoping the pyramid field will not be quite so sealike this year :s

In these uncertain times we need to get back to blind hope and relentless optimism, I think it must be time to break out a powerful Montage.....

[Porcelina]

you're ridiculing the reasonable view I'm trying to get across by saying it's unnecessary to get across that reasonable view.

[Lentus]

Where's the love people? One week today and this will all of been forgotten.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

no word from JACKONE yet?

[arcade fireman]

you're welcome to see it like that. Yet you're also able to see the posts in here from more than me saying that you're wrong and which say you're not as reasonable as you wish to believe. And given that I share that view, then I'm not able to see your words as the "civilised" you believe them as but as Neanderthal at best.

[Bubblepopelectric]

I think not, this was a great thread til someone barged in and had a row with someone else about Metcheck. That then turned into a major debate about some not too distaseful pictures that were posted.

Neil, I must say, stick to running the site mate, not posting and modding because at the moment sadly you're coming across as jack of all trades master of none. None of us are perfect and neither are you.

[guypjfreak]

I like the look of this, what's the credibility of this site like?

[1waveydavey]

What on earth has got in to people?!?!?!?

In my experience Neil has done nothing other than the right thing regarding the pictures that were cropping up. I understand the fun behind them but it is a festival forum, I come here to share the spirit of the festival, I'm certain sexism in any form is not part of Glastonbury...

It is challenging and it opens our eyes and long may that continue.

And the other point about Neil only being negative it utter shite.

Keep the fools out and maintain the spirit and the site will continue to blossom, if you need to look at top heavy lovelies there is a time and place for that as well, just not here.

Now then, what's the craic with the weather?
