spr1985 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hang on a minute can anyone else see the pattern here?? A lot of you are making assumptions about him and sticking ya digs in and he defends himself by chucking a few digs back and he is in the wrong?! HYPOCRITES springs to mind! The logic that is being thrown around is also flawed.... All you older guys giving it "respect your elders" learn from the older generation, blah blah blah, how about you have some respect for everyone! No doubt a lot of you older guys have been driving a lot longer that Lewis Hamilton but I bet not one of you would dare call him "boy" "child" and so on if he came on here saying he was gods gift of a driver! And I hope that he takes you up on the social offer and I hope he wipes the floor with every single person that jumped on the band wagon! The way some of you have gone about this is an absolute disgrace! A question to the moderators.... What happened to this being a friendly forum for all ages? And a moderator suggesting he should leave the forum..... Disgusting!

chillfactor Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I've read some utter Tosh on this forum of late. No wonder all the knowledgeable members of yester year no longer frequent it . Some of you need to get out more ! Thecarphauler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecarphauler Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Well, I really wasn't expecting the response I've been given from my introduction to this forum. So hostile, why? I've retaliated to the snide remarks and then I'm made out to be the bad guy. Apparently if you are not in your 50s, you are a inexperienced angler, I wonder what Tom Dove and Elliot Grey would have to say about that!! I can see now that my chosen username has offended some members, with hindsight, maybe I should of used, blanksallthetime1965 I'm sure I would of been welcomed with open arms! I haven't quite reached a week on here but I'm going to take welders advice and leave this forum, I'm sure there's plenty more that are more welcoming. Happy hauling guy's!

muftyboy Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I think originally a few people thought your user name and the fact you said you were given that name by a couple of older fellows you fish with was a wind up for carpmachine as it sounds very similar to him and how he got his user name. You would have to go back over a lot of posts to get the gist mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmanstevo Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Not so much hate,mate. Things can come across wrong with the written word. Why not draw a line under this thread,have a read through some others and pass on some advice...... The Zig one is a perfect one to contribute to. The lad genually needed help/advice over his zig fishing...... Give him your thoughts/tips on the subject..... Contribute. snoozer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nealjt Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 To be fair you probably would have had a better reception with blanksallthetime1965 carpmachine, jh92 and beanz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamkitson Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 But why the hate? Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Your opening post didn't help, true. But you weren't to know. You come along with 5 years experience, a bunch of captures, and no doubt some sound knowledge and think you've got a lot to offer to a forum. You're probably right, but to be honest, it comes across a little arrogant, and puts some backs up. I have to say, as a relatively new member myself with a gap of a couple of years in the middle I went through the same process on here, just managed, (I think) to do it personally and quietly and realise what a wonderful and genuinely friendly resource this forum can be. It is not about age, it's about how to present yourself. You drop a few thinking tackle names of younger anglers who, by no more merit than the fact that they've managed to land a few fish and climb up a few backsides, are qualified to tutor the masses in the wonderful world of carp fishing? Not gonna fly. If you could see a timeline of posts, me personally, I saw your introduction thread, made no comment, saw a few other posts you made on another thread, maybe "tight lines" I don't remember, basically being a little heavy handed with your advice. I came back to this thread with the comment that if you accept that you can learn a lot more than you can give to a group with hundreds of years of combined experience, and if you take that on board you'll be fine, but still the posts flowed. I don't think you should leave. Just maybe take on board a little of what may have caused this to go on in the first place and change it for the future. Imo, when getting into any group, forum, club, syndicate etc, be humble, until you've properly scoped it out and worked out where you can fit in. To be fair, kudos for not biting and becoming defensive sooner. I'd not have stuck it as long as you. This thread should now be locked and put to bed if you ask me. Going round in circles a bit now. I'm sure you have stuff to contribute. So do that, gently, and hopefully the animosity you have received will be left in the past. nealjt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
