+Mr Nibbler Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I tried to keep my cool (and nearly failed on a mainstream thread), then a moderator responded without acknowledging me. The words TERRORIST CACHER seemed particularly badly chosen and it's all about some numpty nicking TBs which is bad but unavaoidable. I really do object to being ignored because my sig doesn't have a State two letter acronym. OK - I know the bulk of cachers are in the States but it does not automatically enable rudeness, does it? If I'm wrong I'll crawl back into my post-empire cave and quietly slap myself on the wrist. Oh, and the rudeness of the other European cachers about the marketing drive of Jeep (Mercedes to us cross-ponders) was blinding! Link to comment

+Nellies Knackers Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I should keep quiet before they invade you Link to comment
+Tharagleb Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I don't understand your complaint at all. You are complaining because somebody responed to a thread without naming you specifically. Too bad, it happens all the time. You are complaining because the Jeep promotion is just in the states? Too bad. Your post seems a bit paranoid to me, but perhaps I am reading it wrong.

barryhunter Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I too wonder if I am missing something, if it is about the thread SP linked to, then the moderators post was a mere two minutes after yours, looks like you where both writing similar text at the same time. Link to comment
+Mr Nibbler Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 The thread title should perhaps have been "Over-Reacting?". The Jeep thing is neither here not there, what Mercedes/Jeep/Chrysler etc want to do to promote their excellent product in the lower 48 States of the US is not the point. Icons are not the point. Rudeness is. Link to comment
+Mr Nibbler Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 I supported the US reaction to EU objections to Jeep doing their thing with Groundspeak - big ups to whoever gets the 2006 Jeep in their driveway. I hate being told to naff off from allegedly worldwide forums because I'm not in the US. I'd be the same if England started ignoring East Anglia, or GB/UK started cutting out Scotland. Wouldn't you?

+The Golem Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I've now reviewed this thread and the TERRORIST CACHER thread three times and really can't see what the problem is - I think maybe you have over-reacted Mr Nibbler. Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'm ignored all the time, but I've never let that stop me. Hello? Link to comment
+Mr Nibbler Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Blue Duece Me too, but when I think it's important it gets to me. The Golem I think you may be right. I'm seething but should I close it? Probably. Link to comment
+The Golem Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Folk take offence at other people's comments all the time, it's usually a misunderstanding - just put it down to experience... Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Well, I've read the thread, and can't see anything out of the ordinary. What is there to seethe about? You made a point, and two minutes later a moderator replied to it. Or was there something else that I'm unaware of? HH (baffled of IOM). Link to comment
+Mr Nibbler Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 The Golem, It's all down to experience I agree - and thanks for your response but I am still seething at the bloody rudeness of some of the US cachers - have you seen Team Cotati? Why some of the Scots cachers are still here is beyond my understanding. I need to go and have a cup of tea, a good night's sleep then shout at someone at work Link to comment
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 ... I am still seething at the bloody rudeness of some of the US cachers - have you seen Team Cotati? Why some of the Scots cachers are still here is beyond my understanding. Sorry Robin still not getting at as your post and the Moderators seem to have been posted at more or less the same time (so nether of you was likely to know what the other was saying). When I searched for Team Cotati posts the most recent was on the 7th July 2006. Are we all looking in the wrong place. Anyway as a 100% Scot people are always finding me offensive! Link to comment
SlytherinAlex Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'm ignored all the time, but I've never let that stop me. I ignore everyone from Iowa, don't think you are anything special. Link to comment
+Mr Nibbler Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Obviously I'm an oversensitive wassock. Let's kill the thread Link to comment
+Nellies Knackers Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Can't we ignore some more yanks first? Link to comment
+Mr Nibbler Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 If you like NN - I'd love to - I'm now trying to ditch this thread so I'm not badged as some sort of old, middle class, tory reactionary who hates everyone!! Because I was a bit that way to a dodgy post I'm now dead in the water. Bugger, bugger and bugger again Link to comment
