He said some pretty unsavoury stuff about hoping me and my family get cancer. My father died last February from cancer, so it’s still very raw and so I reacted to it.

I probably should have taken a breath but it was quite unsavoury what he said so I lost my cool a bit and said I’d happily knock his block off. He then proceeded to say I wouldn’t get close and he’d stab me in the neck with a knife.

Thread was removed and he was banned.

What was said was truly vile and there are no excuses or mitigation for it, but he’s not a poster I would have ordinarily expected capable of such a vile outburst.

Perhaps he’s really struggling and there are issues deeply affecting him. It’s a difficult time for everyone in at least some aspects of their lives and so if that is the reason he said the things he did, then I hope he gets help and support for the root causes of his issues.

He has frequently posted about the difficulties in the airline industry in which he works and so probably has some very deep anxieties around that. It doesn’t excuse his behaviour of course, and hopefully he’s had the time to reflect and realise that he was out of order - it does seem to be the exception rather than the rule for him and so I’d like to think he gets the benefit of the doubt.

Hi WeeGord. So sorry to hear that you received some vile stuff throw at you on here that's unacceptable and disgusting thing to say. Also so sorry to hear that your father died last year sad news. My thoughts are with you and family. Please do take care of yourself and stay strong. Ignore some clowns on here. I received some nasty abuses and names calling from some posters on here ages ago but I don't want their apologies and I ignored them anyway.
 
I'd just like to confess that many years ago (when I was still relatively young and stupid), I said some horrendous things to certain posters on here while I was going through a bad time. I saw the red mist. I thought it was clever to try and say the most shocking and 'Frankie Boyle' things possible back then and I still feel deeply ashamed, guilty and apologetic over the comments now.

I'd like to think (and for those who were around at the time to think) that I've matured as a person and am at heart a good, kind, empathetic person who would never genuinely have conviction in such comments. I do hope so anyway.

PS - WeeGord is an amazing person who I'd love to have a beer with.
