    Jesus Christ…..Wingers leaving thread has descended into Hutt drinking yarns.

    @Virgil you’re a nerd good bloke willing to help out, can we nominate this for thread of the year ?

    It certainly beats anything about Razor….

    The question is. Would would everyone say what they've said on this forum to the face of eachother at the Petone Club while Race 4 at Te Rapa is playing in the background.

    Definitely. As possibly the most agreeable person on the forum with the least amount of overt provincial bias I expect I'd be buying drinks as often as @MN5...

    Then try wearing a fanny pack around your neck.
    I really should get a sideline with my own agony aunt/free advice column.

      The bloke had his faults but a lot of the responses here justify his decison. No point staying where you aren’t welcome.

      All the best to him. Hope he’s wrong about most of his predictions, which I know he does too.

                I've decided to completely remove myself from this forum.

                I will also not be part of the tipping competition. So my apoligises to my Wellington teammates.

                I ask the moderators to now remove my Winger account.

                Thanks and bye

                Dont know you but hope you are keeping well my friend.

                I see a lot of people pouring slurry from their ivory towers.

                It's easy to be uncivil behind an avatar.

                I think it's oft forgotten that there are real folk behind the keyboard.

                And I imagine you came here initially for a love of NZ rugby. Thats why we are all here I suppose.

                Maybe just take a break?

                But if its for good take it easy...

                Everyone on this forum will be dead in 60 years. None of our opinions matter.

                Just ships passing in the night.

                Look after yourself.

                    People were genuinely upset when I deleted that. From memory it was half the size of the forum Database in one thread.

                    Since Duluth took over running the site such transgressions are in the past.

                    As for @Winger, I've been off an on running this forum for 22 years (fucks sake). Over that time, people have come and gone and come back again many times. Hopefully, you'll be one of them. I disagree with you about many things, but the good thing about that is it makes you examine what your opinion is.

                    Wish we didn't have to moderate you so much though, that's a bit tiresome.

                    The best advice I can give you is it's just people talking on the internet. We don't change anything here, we won't win elections or even really change people's minds. It's a good place to keep up to date on sport and let off some steam, it's not that serious.

                    If you think you are spending too much time on here (that's happened to a few people), just post less.

                    With some of the new features coming from Duluth, the Fern will be the best place to follow Rugby in NZ. He's really outdone himself.

                    Anyway back to the popcorn.

                      Especially the bolded part, and even more so when the Black Caps are 20/3.

                        It's been excellent for that for me. More seriously, the NPC coverage in NZ media is atrocious now. Fern is a great hub for keeping up to date.

                          Taken a few breaks myself. Post if something piques my interest, occasionally just to let others know that I am still alive (in the unlikely event that they actually care).

                          @Dodge disappears from time to time, a few others. Nobodies account gets deleted it seems, they just lie dormant until something pisses you off enough to have another go.

                          @Winger You never know you might find yourself lurking and an irresistible urge to respond to something. The ruling elite may get exposed and the masses arise to overthrow them or something, you may be feel the need to gloat. You do have the dubious honour of being the only poster that I have ever blocked, but it was too weird seeing the responses to you without actually seeing whatever bullshit had elicited those responses, so you were reinstated.

                            After reading through this thread I’m now curious what was going on in the, I assume, politics section that caused his departure.

                            I just thiught it was due to the battles over the canes players in the rugby threads that caused the departure.

                                        I'll fondly remember him from this thread.

                                        His commitment to Red Peak and the highly specialist and prestigious field of vexillology were admirable.
