Surely he should have been gripped by Exeter??Dennis said:What I find more worrying is that he was able to travel for so long with nobody questioning the absence of his parents.

If everyone stays away from the Argument there will be no Arguement - Which sounds good to me.AlexS said:Yorkie, Jamie, Ben, Frank and Steve, please stand well away from the argument,
thank you

No, neither did I, and if my posts are going to be deleted every time I dare to disagree with a mod/admin then they can stick their forum where the sun doesn't shine.Jamie said:I didnt realise there was an argument, I certainly didnt know I was participating in one.
That's the kind of controversial opinion that will get your posts deletedThe Gricer said:I really feel strongly about this, especially as I was argueing with no-one. All I remember saying was that if the conductor had been checking the tickets then the situation may have come to light a bit sooner. Now what was wrong with that statement to make it warrant deletion?

How can you tell him to step back from the "arguement" when we wasn't actually part of it? The point he was trying to get across could have been said even if the now deleted "argument" hadn't occured. As for his reply to a comment posted by a staff member, it wasn't a direct argument - it was a quite innocent observation that I feel is absolutely true and does STILL have a place within this thread.AlexS said:It was deleted in reference to argument participated in by one of our moderators - which you might have guessed in my post telling him to step back first and foremost.
I was only 'confrontational' because of 158 having a go at guards, it was unwarranted and he expects too much of them, IMO.[\quote]
Can I just ask......
You appear to be saying that 158 should be showing guards/conductors etc more repect and shouldn't expect to much of them......
So why do you call them grippers or DESPERATE grippers??
Even without the "desperate" I still find this nickname a little below the belt. I am a RPI and I have to check tickets as part of my job and I don't appriciate people slating you because you are simply doing what you are paid to do.

The vast majority are not "desperate"!Tom C said:So why do you call them grippers or DESPERATE grippers??
It's a term used by enthusiasts, it's not actually "slating" them. It's not actually meant to be derogatory, for example http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/trf/alan_b.htm "and those of you who came across him in his work will know that he was an extremely desperate gripper" isn't insulting him, and is meant affectionately in that example!Tom C said:Even without the "desperate" I still find this nickname a little below the belt.

Can you please post something constructive, rather than just "I agree", otherwise the forum could be full of people simply saying "I agree".158 said:I Agree with TheSlash and Tom C
