Gary, trolling really doesn't suit you love, the amount of posts you have written in this thread is unbelievable, please take a look all the way through this thread and read everything you have wrote

Wrong, they DO come on here either everyday or al least most days, it's just that they don't say anything anymore, although they seemed to have time to spout off before May 2010. Funny that.

As for being the subject of criticism, well, they were quite happy to dish it out when they were in opposition, so if they can't take it, they shouldn't be in politics.

Flashy - I agree - obsessive behaviour can alienate others from the cause he seems to be 'fighting' for.

Wyn, are you surprised they don't say anything anymore? how would you feel if everything you said was criticized? even you must be able to see this for what it is, if you feel what politicians are doing is wrong then why don't you become one yourself and lets see how many people get on your back about things, i keep an open mind about everything but this is just getting beyond a joke and is making this forum look stupid

But I haven't had one for simply ages.

I've just had a weird thought.

Do you think it's because when they messaged me so often before, ripping in to stupid stuff our council did, it was because the council was controlled by another party.

Nah, no one could be that transparent, and fickle.

Oh come on Rindi, even you couldn't be so naive

I repeat, they seemed quite happy to air their views when they were in opposition. If they're now witholding their opinions because of fear of criticism, they really shouldn't be in politics.

Let's not forget what this particular thread is all about - the removal of benches from the town centre, because the authorities don't seem to have a solution to the problem of abusive drunks (although other towns/cities seem to have sorted it).

Perhaps a small matter in itself but it's one more nail in the coffin of what was once a thriving town centre. To watch it decline is heartbreaking for an owd Accy lad like myself and must be deeply disturbing for town centre traders like LancsDave as their potential customer base shrinks.

Flashy, it really isn't Gary on his own here, as you seem to think. A lot of people on Accyweb share his disillusionment with local politicians at the moment!

i doubt its for fear of criticism Wyn, more about members on here twisting everything they have to say....i didn't say it was just Gary did i? you'll find that i said something along the lines of 'it's not fair for them to be shot to pieces at every given opportunity Gary, no one can please everyone, ALL of the time, as you all well know i say what i mean constantly and i think this is all getting out of hand'

I have always said the same thing, people who comment on here are often absent at the meetings put on for them and don't see the 'other cavalry' (protestors against the porotestors)- just over the hill waiting to make the same criticisms about folks not listening and do it 'their way'.

It;s always gone on and always will do and we are all guilty of seeing things through our own prism. Anyone that says they are never guilty of it is somewhere between a hypocrite and a egotistical fool in my book.

You just have to learn to take the crap full square on.

Um you used term hypocrite and a egotistical fool in my book, because that is exactly how I've consider you for a long time Graham, but its only now that other people are see you in the same light

Curiously, they didn't seem to have a problem with this in the past.

flashy · 04-11-2011, 09:08

they are damned if they do and damned if they don't

cashman · 04-11-2011, 09:10

To me removing those benches is near as ridiculous as the closing of the bogs,by the other lot, i'm fortunate i aint had a need to use em, but its a simple matter of whats right n whats wrong, n the trolling on here is by margaret r n flashy as far as i' see it, if thats what yeh think start yer own thread about it.

Criticising politicians, both local and national, for bad decisions certainly isn't. If that "winds them up" they really shouldn't be in public life.

flashy · 04-11-2011, 09:16

yes Wyn

Well I'll got to the foot of our stairs Rindi, these are the same people who year after year accused me of doing Britcliffe bidding both on here and in Letters to the Press, something which in my case never ever happened. In fact in the run up to the local elections this year I point blankly refused to post on here political dogma to aid the then ruling group, I wouldn't treat the people on this site with such disrespect. However, it now appears there were some people who didn't hold the same high principals and would stop at nothing to get their grubby hands on power, but the people should have remembered back to good old 1997 when we were greeted at every tern by D-ream and things can only get better and we all know how that ended up
