Thread Name: BS: A (true) Jelly Fish story
Subject: RE: BS: A (true) Jelly Fish story
I said what I was going to say about the debate. I didn't start this thread to continue the debate elsewhere. And if I use a story to make a point I think I would know what the point of using it was. Either way, I am asking you as nicely as I can. Please don't hijack this thread to continue a debate that is over. I said what I wanted to say and I asked nicely to end the debate at least between you and I. One of the issues you have is when posters use your threads for their own personal needs. The debate thread is still open. Can you please use that one?

Not sure that this thread has a subject or if it is really possible to "hi-jack" a BS thread or indeed any thread. It possibly does sound quite noble to some - to accuse another poster of such a thing - even when all the posers is doing in reality is posting to a thread on our forum. Perhaps it is better if such dramatic terms can be avoided and we just respond to or ignore what is actually being said in the post - rather than use it as an excuse to judge both it and the poster?

Frank you did not just tell a story in your first post - you also made specific references to and about me. And you started another thread to do this in - rather than making them in the one where the continuing debate is taking place. It was a good story.

Starting a thread to make public comments about a named fellow poster is perhaps not the best example to follow or set But that is your choice and as far as I am concerned you are welcome to post to any thread and say what you wish to. Perhaps if I also ask you nicely - you would be kind enough to allow me and other posters to have that choice also?

All power the the true jellyfish.
