I don't know Spuggie personally .

What I do know is that he brings humour and fun to Accy Web , and that he is well-liked on this Web .

He has been a member since 2005 .

Whatever has got him down I hope he will have second thoughts .

The name given to me certainly wasn't Roy.
OED is a good reference book

What a shame you couldn't have contacted Mick rather than spreading your and I emphasize that it is YOUR rumor to the world in the first place.

I've noticed that often, when stuck for a reasoned rebuttal, many retreat to, and resort to meaningless statements or phrases. A common one is: "real world."

Just as with "common sense", I have yet to get a satisfying explanation of what "real world" means, leaving me to conclude that it is an empty pejorative: a kind of "Plan B" used when one has nothing constructive to say, or to add to an argument.

Oh, now that is funny, I am being told by a guy that posts a rumor he heard from someone he classes as a friend, (whilst admitting never to have met this person), in a thread in anything goes, started by spuggie, (who is well known for his little jokes), to get 'a life'.
Well, you poor sad man, I have 'a life' & my life doesn't involve spreading stupid rumors around the Internet but yours does.

I do not have much time on line at the moment because I am in France - with a few problems. I did not hijack Spugs post just wondered if he had heard what I had, and was so sorry to hear that he had effectively resigned. He was a great contributor, and I wondered why, as a number of others did.
Then the vitriol flowed.
I only passed on some information - rumour or not, but so much on here is rumour, that i had been told by a long term member, whom I consider to be a friend from long, long ago.
If you do not want to read what I said - please feel free to ignore it, just as you switch over TV channels - I assume - It just requires you press another button
I have stated what I will do when I return to UK - until then, may I respectfully request that you restrain your comments.

Your comments are out of order IMHO, Shaz. And no wonder Accyweb is going down the tube, when one can't post an opinion without being villified (unless it conforms to popular opinion) ie you are having an affair or maybe someone who would like to grass up on is having an affair, but either way what has it got to do with anybody else unless it is made public knowledge??? IMHO threads like this are started by folks just posting "willy nilly" and not considering other folks feelings.
Think about it everyone, I do every time I post. Pity we aren't all so considerate
