All pretty harmonious in this thread, reflecting backwards, introducing to new posters until you decided to butt in trying to stir things.
I'd rather not get embroiled in a flaming spiral with you if that's alright.
If you want to post any salient points or posts, then we can stick to the topic instead of making it personnel.
Try to look at things positively instead of getting yourself wound up.
Incidentally I stopped posting a couple of years ago as it started to become boring,regurgitation, same debates time and again and I've already reflected how it's not changed that much since I've been away.
Some old people still about, some new and some with new usernames.
Have a good night now.
Do at least TRY to move on?0 -

No snide dig, I have moved on.

Dinnae ask again.
Oh & as for you suggesting who is "stirring" on this thread it is pretty obvious - & it's not MSJ.
Still, what else could we expect from one who keeps such odious company as mayonnaise etc.
Very telling, that.
As you've discovered on the "Fish" thread too, you can't disparage and/or drown out other posters easily nowadays.
We're to wise to the tricks.

I refer you to an earlier post, by MSJ since you think he(?) was "stirring":
"A cabal of the more ignominious posters drowned out much of the genuine debate for a while.
Distraction and downright lies together with childish name-calling and derisory comments directed towards posters disagreed-with became commonplace.
Leading (after various disagreements) to a number of posters being no longer wanted by The Forum Team on these forums.
On both sides of the spectrum, I should add.
Also during this time along came our referendum and as a few others have said, this turned into a kind of black hole for anything not Brexit-related.
The ignominious cabal mentioned before remains at least partially effective in dissuading new threads by their continued use of purely argumentative and/or derogatory posts which otherwise generally contribute absolutely nothing to the debate.
A quick look through a few pages on almost any of the threads is sufficient evidence of this."
Ah, it seems that even a quick look through this thread is sufficient evidence.
Still, I suppose when you've nothing better to do with your time and no-one else to bait that a forum like this is an ideal hunting ground.
Oh BTW, who says I am a "he"?
Or that I lost my username?0 -

Please help me.
The above seems to be an issue you have with Mayonaisse, not me.
I refer you back to my point 3.3) I keep my own company on an Internet forum. I have no allegiances with anybody (correction).
[edit]
I've just re-read the whole thread where I interacted and still do not see what I have done to receive the perception you appear to have of me.
