WOW!!
Actually, Tim I had no clue. So thank you, the light dawns now. Others have had trouble believing your tale below as well, even as they were trying to explain. For me, I was a friend one day and horrible hysterically treated despicable cretin the next. Yes, I found your reaction inexplicable and still do. Is that what your 12 years of high hostility about GoMoG and me is all about?!!!!
To flesh out the background, as a service the adherents, I would post events and occasionally birthday wishes. When you announced your birthday party to the entire group on emog
..which at the time virtually meant to the entire Morgan world, I added it to the events page as a courtesy and in an effort to make your event the success you wanted it to be.
Doesn't this forum do the similar things??!!!! eMog (bless its memory) was no more "private" than this forum/ the only other rule being that real names were used rather than monikers like "Hamwich" and "gomog". I found that people are more civil when they use their real names on forums..and if they don't like that, they can use fake names as many did.
Frankly, it was for the best I guess. eMog malcontents went to the Naughty Boys Club (emog did not allow foul language and apparently there was a segement who belived that was necessary).)
and eMog had supported TalkMorgan from the start. There was nowhere for an Aero owner to go to!
Nope. Your story doesn't pass the smell test. People who are desperate to keep an event quiet do not post it to a forum with many 1000s. In any event, are you suggesting that I, a old friend, repeated your announcement of your birthday with insidious intent?
Forgive Tim Harris. He has acted with great hostility towards myself and GoMoG for years. I have no idea why and no one else in that old crowd can figure it out. Deep waters. I will not reply to him for the sake of harmony. Nothing to be gained.
Lorne
You know exactly why we fell out, Lorne. It was 2009, the year of the centenary celebrations, and also the year of my 50th birthday. I had organised a party. As you well know eMog in those days was a closed discussion group, open only to those who applied to join. Unlike TM, it wasn't visible to guests. I extended an invitation to eMoggers who were attending the centenary at Cheltenham to come to the party.
You then took it upon yourself, without reference to me, to advertise the party on Mogwire, a website that you ran which was completely open for anyone in the world to see.
When I remonstrated with you on eMog to remove it, your response was to blame me and get one of your fellow moderators to also write critical emails to me.
As a result I left eMog.
If you include calling you out for patronising people whom you don't know as acting with 'great hostility' then yes, I have done that and will continue to do so. Your assumption that you know better than everyone else is pretty offensive.
