RE: Enough is Enough
Sad news indeed, really enjoyed Malcolm's up to date posts and all the info a few of yous posted. This mindless posting and threat's that were done by mindless people, seen it happening on another forum I am on but they got it sorted.
Thanks to all for the gossip and info.

RE: Enough is Enough
Ah well what can you say....

One of the Chris's announcing from the grandstand had to lecture listeners about the Facebook postings about mid-race-week, guess the MD fanboyz were getting out of hand.

Twenty-seven-year-old Joe Gower sums it up with this quote from the Bouncers documentary.


"It's jobs like this that make you hate the human race like you know.
I got no faith in it anymore, I., I seriousley got no faith in it."

"I mean I understand going out and having a drink and a laff, but they're
all ******* inbreed, a mongos like drinking, they are literally idiots."

I just pass it off to the latest population doubling that we just had (the fastest ever btw).
Professor Albert A. Bartlett (1923-2013) speaks about "Quality of Life" when population
doubling happens in one of his many speeches. (http://www.albartlett.org)


Thanks Malcolm for what I consider the original TTwebsite for many years and after what I consider one of the best and historic TT's, best of luck all.

RE: Enough is Enough
I'd like to echo the Thanks to Malcolm for running this forum. It's mind boggling that the enjoyment of many can be spoilt by a couple of idiots. I've seen the same messing that led to the demise of paddockgossip a few years ago.

RE: Enough is Enough
Thank you Malcolm but I think we all understand your position, its just a pity that a few ruin it for so many. Perhaps they are happy now you have decided to close the site. They will probably join other forums and do the same to them because that's what gives them a kick. Sad people.

Anyway thank you Malcolm.

RE: Enough is Enough
My thanks to Malcolm and regrets that it has come to this (I've been mostly oblivious to the idiocy). I've found the forum a great and interesting source of information and will miss the insights from TT outsiders and insiders alike.

RE: Enough is Enough
Thank you Malcolm, I've always found the site to be a very interesting and informative one. Although I don't post very often (always taken the view if you've not got something worth saying don't bother saying anything) but have always been a frequent visitor. Rest assured I will continue to visit for all the rest of the information on here.
I'm sorry it has had to come to this but understand why.
As every I will be making up the numbers at this years Manx, all the best Doug Snow

I'll finish it one day!

Sad to read this news. The lunatics are taking over the world in so many ways, ruining life for the silent majority.
Thanks for the forum, Malcolm, I hope it will return some time in the future, I'll miss it.

Oh dear what a shame, seems like another link to the IOM disappearing.
All the best Malcolm.

RE: Enough is Enough
A very top TT rider, and if I told you who he was no one would believe me gave me some me abusive language again and on here which Malcolm had to take action and delete his post "hope he is now proud of himself" so the problem has been throughout from the top to the bottom, I really hope that Malcolm takes the vile offenders to the law courts, Thank you Malcolm for the past ten years I have been a member on here, you deserve an honour for your efforts "some don't" You wont know what to do now with all the spare time, having said that neither will we,  take time out for a while, but don't let the bullies win, remember "Never Ever Give Up" All the best for now, thanks for the memories, and we are all here if you need us, Best wishes and kind regards Bill.............. Goodbye boys and girls
