I don't do politically correct :lol:
Oh, you bad boy you.

As someone who has never been in trouble before, I think you should be banned for 5 days. That'll teach ya, ya little devil.

I shall remain on my high horse and gently snicker with derision.

Ha!

Having thought long and hard I will now reply, as the moderator involved with the latest episode.

I deleted a post. And issued a warning. Why?

A new member posted a question about setting the date on his watch. Couldn't get the date to change at midnight, we've seen it before. Easy if you know the answer. I answered his question, my explanation worked and the OP responded appropriately.

Read and move on? No. Certain members decided to "have a go" at the OP for asking the question. The post I deleted was neither kind nor necessary in my opinion, and went against the rules, etiquette and to my mind the ethos of the forum...

That's all.

Oh, and this is what we teach our 7-year-olds. In principle, at least, they get it.

I've kept my mouth shut about what the actual post was. The post was deleted as you think it wasn't either 'kind or necessary'. Well, by adding the '7 year old' comment into your post is that either 'kind or necessary'? No, it's not. It wasn't necessary for you to actually say anything, it was done with and forgotten about. Oh, and 'T- Is it true' - Floridaphil, who saw the post, has already confirmed that it was!

Well, be that as it may, I will just be glad that on the original thread I made the response I made and not the one you made. Have another shot at me by all means, but I don't think I'll bother replying again.

Wasn't having a shot at you at all Steve. I just think that your '7 year old' reference was a little un necessary. Like I said, as far as I was concerned it was done, dusted and forgotten about. I didn't even complain that the post had been deleted. Just one of those things. Anyway, lifes too short to have petty squabbles about an internet forum post, so have a good afternoon - no hard feelings! :D
