@PVO_Dave that's exactly how I felt about Drew in my first couple of weeks on this forum.I felt he was over aggressive and I disapproved of some of the course language he seemed to use quite liberally.Over time,though not having much one on one correspondence with him I grew to like him quite alot.His period in the cooler last year did him the world of good and he came back a much rounder,calmer character,though I admit he does still have his moments.

I'm no sexist, but I really like Drew.  He stands his round and between him and @Frankus I have received some excellent relationship advice.

You can see me down the pub at the weekend with all the other divorced and desperate.

He actually gave great advice when I got dumped, I didn't realise at the time as I was still under the witch's spell.

Anyway, I want some reverence. Give it to me everybody.

I believe it's reached the point where it could be called bullying. I don't think it should surprise us for Drew to get angry about it. It's a real shame.

Hang on - he has bullied me since the MR days, and because I won't roll over continues[1] to I assume now (I've had him on Ignore for some time).

Just because I won't go away and won't shut up doesn't make me the bully. He drive Andi from this place, but not me.

I won't be addressing this again. That is all I have to say.

[1] "Shut the fuck up, you nonce" is bullying.

I wasn't going to join this again, but this is an out-and-out falsehood and it all happened in the modmin-only area, so non-modmins can't actually go back to verify. 

No, Drew didn't drive Andi away from the forum - and you know full-well that's the case, because it was all pretty clearly explained in the admin area back when you were still a mod.

you can be somewhat devious and underhand. Like when you were messaging Jooky about my/your old rosewood telecaster. 

Please dont try to pass yourself off as holier than thou

@lixarto, pardon me for the ignorance of your situation, but have you raised this through 'official channels', so to speak? I only ask because bullying is a hard thing to qualify, in as much it's not what the spirit in which the person has said or done something, so much as the spirit it has been taken in.

But on the flipside of this, I'd be surprised if there isn't anyone on here who hasn't rubbed someone up the wrong way.  If it's the way of the world that you and Drew aren't going to get along then that's that.

It's actually a shame that you and Drew don't get along: I can imagine that you are remarkably similar.

I do wonder how many people he's actually rubbed up the wrong way. Defo one person here..

It happens, we cant all get along. 

I have had handbags with him once or twice but I appreciate that he is to the point and upfront about what he thinks. 

Its a much more honest way to be. I personally dislike snide individuals that try to portray themselves as an innocent victim when it is far from the case etc

At the end of a day its the internet. If you get irate, worked up or personal over someones opinion posted on a forum I would be more inclined to say you have the problem not the poster.

It also makes me wonder why we never see other threads about other users....

Nobody else has been sent to the cooler.

It's always one particular poster at the centre of the hassle on here. It's a pattern that's repeated itself again and again.

I reckon no other member has been discussed as much as the right honourable adolfhipster. Although it could be close.

You say that, but to me that could mean three people who immediately spring to mind.
