    I don't believe I'm a sociopath, nor a psychopath, but, that's just my opinion. Then again, as with most people, I may have a slightly distorted view of myself.

    Anyway that little ruckus has been and gone, let's move forward! I shall attempt to control my impulses, not my opinion though. Fair?
    I also believe in moving on and not holding a grudge.

    Believe it or not the comment about sociopath / psychopath had nothing to do with this forum. Also the same with my previous comment. These observations were related to other sites that are not controlled to the same degree as this one, and personal experience.

    Retromilling I believe you may have an issue with a thread discussing winch to ground connection points where you falsely assumed I was making a snide comment regarding you leaving the connection plate at home in the shed. If you read the post properly you will see that I was referring to myself doing this. I was having a go at myself, not you.

    Another forum I used to read whenever there was a case of non animal cruelty there would be a discussion and any person having a differing opinion often it would come up those that go on murdering rampages start with real cruel acts to animals. They were essentially saying any person with a differing view to their own is a potential murderer.

    Of course invoking Godwins law, Hitler was a vegetarian, therefore all vegetarians are lunatic megalomaniac murderers. Silly I know.

    Ahhh, good to know. I trained RAAF police dogs for 25 years and did a stint as an instructor training others how to train dogs, I love all animals. So, good to know I'm not ready for a rampage yet!

    The above is a step too far. It does not speak well of you at all.

    Its the first time I have witnessed any thing like it in my 14 years either in the old woodwork side or now here in our Metalwork side.

    Your allegation was not supported by a single specific example just a bunch of general complaints.
    You were asked if you have a problem and were invited to reply with a PM or you could have even reported the specific problem.

    But you chose not to take either of those options, instead accusing the member concerned directly after his post with out proof.You were dead right when you said moderators have better things to do than hunt through old posts.It was up to you to provide the proof and you did not do that.

    Consensus was spoken of above,well we have done just that and its the consensus of the folks I did PM who have opined theres no problem they can see. I believe you have just misunderstood a a comment made and proceeded from that point.

    I urge you, or anyone else who posts as per above, to think very carefully before the submit button is pushed.

    Think about what you are about to post and how it will be perceived.

    You may take 2 weeks to think on it.
