Hey Chipshot- I see youve been away from here for about 5years!! what you been up to?

Actually, it should be anyone that disagrees with me, that makes more sense, at least to me. Personally though, no one disagrees with me, unless they are wrong, so, if I haven’t had an argument with you, then chances are your opinion is valid. Pretty logical really. Nice to have you back Chipshot, especially now you’re over that 27 post mark, an important milestone! Maybe TTR will have some more respect now, post count is very important, as I well know.
What is this golf game you talk of? |
|
Stinkler, I wasn’t sure I’d ever get over the 27 post hump so it is a big relief, phew! Madam, I was working as a roadie for a UK punk band and lost interest in golf and the Internet. Just trying to pick up a few loose threads these days.

Which band?

Maybe I’m wrong but I swear the post I added last night has been deleted?????

Thanks Nikey YES A few posts were deleted in the past couple days. As a site manager we cannot allow unfounded, speculative and potentially slanderous comments to be made about individual and /or specific organisations. A few comments were made about what a person might of seen but we have no way of validating if the comments are true or not. Questions toward the book are fine as they are now a matter of public record. Any other questions need to be taken off line as it can come back to bite ISG, and the person making the post.

An understandable position for you to take Madam, but I can already see the gloating from pgamember and TTR: ‘99% of people love the book, and no-one disagrees with his version of events’. Another example of the laws of defamation protecting people who don’t deserve to be protected. Hopefully those same laws can be used against the author if he has indeed been loose with the truth.

The book has been published and is in public domain. The author has put his name behind it, as well as his neck on the line. If there are “mis-truths” then that needs to be exposed using the correct processes, which is not by trying to expose here on a forum. With having most on here using aliases to post behind- it can also be a bit unfair on making comments to the author who has put their identity on display. Its a no win situation. All questions to the book are fine but there are grey areas I dont have a choice but to delete as they make mention of companies and specific people. Were not trying to protect the author were trying to protect ISG and the companies and persons that are getting pulled into this conversation.

Madam, don’t be so sensitive – I’m not criticising you! You’re doing the right thing!
|
|
Not at all sensitive you just caught me at a vulnarable moment ;( lol - I just want everyone to know our legal responsibility. Ive always found that the truth will prevail so what is right is right and will be known in due course.

WOW…..totally agree with your rational as stated above but maybe the author should have thought first before using a public forum to pump up his book (sales).....I have nothing against EP but you’d think someone in his situation would think about the potential repercussions??? Seems weird…..author uses public forum to pump book (his opinions).....invites comments and opinion from others…....forum site has to delete posts as peoples opinion may be affecting others??? Maybe it wasnt a good idea then to host the original post???
|

YES I agree with your original comments about author and potential repercussions. Over the years weve had some good celebrity guests on here and the same thing always happens- they leave a loss for most of us here that did want to hear from them. Peoples opinions on book are fine not an issue. If though those opinions then start naming people and companies then different issue.

Constructive criticism I would have thought would always be welcome, but some of the comments in this thread are bad manners and unwarranted. If anyone has legal problems with the book, discussing them in a public forum would not be the brightest thing to do. Perceptions of truth do get distorted but not just from one party.

Have you read the book tolmij?
|
|
KW, I think you have made your point and it’s time to move on. Ewan seems to be done plugging his book and has moved along, suggest you might do the same.
|
|
Yep 23 posts by KW about one subject. Makes you wonder why he’s here??? other than to challenge Ewan.

I finished reading the book and prefer to keep my opinions to myself about Ewan as I don’t want to get into any slanging matches. After reading all the posts about the book I would still read it and filter the wheat from the chaff in both the book and the posts.

Don’t have to read the book to be a prick, or is that you have to have read the book to be a prick? Umm dunno. Saturday morning. Too early.

Who wrote the ISG article? I like your captivating style! :) “He goes head to head with Donald Trump…” immediately followed by: ”...and watches as his girlfriend gives President Bill Clinton…”
|
|
No I have no intention of reading it, but the way you have carried on is not exactly intelligent. If you don’t like it just say I don’t like it, all the other crap is uncalled for. let’s behave in a civilized manner.
