I think it is time to pack it in here and leave it to your guys. The site is gone to hell and will never recover. It is like watching the Tellytubbies on TV when in a shop or the stupid add on the fuel pump at Go

Stop talking about it and do it then, you miserable old blowhard.

anyone who founds an organization which by design cannot ban him or admit anyone else except of his choosing is not an organization it is an extension of his will and nothing else --for his personal amusement.
my bluntness is not malicious but i enjoy being looked at from so far away where they do things differently it is healthy and enlightening and how could i cancel some Irish persons daily connection with the Irish .
i have lived and worked abroad and i had no internet ,
i once at night was walking down a street far far away and i heard a father and son speaking in Irish to each other on the other side of the street -,
it so overcome me -i followed them for a few hundred yards and i was copped and they turned to look at me and i tried to say something in Irish to them and for a rare moment in my life emotion took me over and they saw a tall young man try to hold back the tears and failing.
i told them that i was totally unprepared to hear Irish spoken and it threw me big time .
they understood and they remained there until they were sure i was ok .

Auld lad, as I understand it you are an Irish American probably about New York. If so you are, you are probably relatively decent and on here to mix it with folk from the Auld sod. You probably are very disappointed at the mess the site is in right now. So am I. The history is that the site was founded by Boston/Galway based Dan. He appeared to participate for the same reason but is a committed US Democratic party adherent. I agreed to assist and be assistant moderator as the site slowly gained members. I wanted to attract new members and encourage them here. 3 well known persistent wreckers were banned permanently. I only got involved to see what would happen if fair, but strict moderation was applied and over one and a half years I proved my point.

There is a history of Irish sites being driven into the ground by bad moderation including one called Political Irish Pish. There is a history of divisiveness in Ireland also. They always agree while struggling but disagree when success is achieved.

I insisted that the number of threads be constrained with new threads only being allowed for new events worldwide. Dan was a good moderator in the beginning. Dan always said he was badly treated on Political Irish and I expected he and I wanted nothing to do with it. Then it collapsed and its members came in here. Being used to the moderation which destroyed Pish, they insisted Sarsfield's rules be changed to Pish's rules and that the chaos bullying and personal abuse be allowed here.

I put the foot down and lead by Wolf a coup d'état was mounted. I refused to allow it, but to my utter horror Dan sided with the them and after two months you can see the mess this site is in. It tells you something about the Irish culture and way of doing things. This is how most of them think, they want their way and will only support messing, corruption and skulduggery. Myles kind of agrees with me on that, JPC is silent and the rest
went with Wolf. I hope that clarifies why this mess exists. I think the site should and will be wound up. A pity.

Sites wax and wane, it's the nature of the web.

Val you have it all wrong --horribly wrong.
my mother was from a bog farm in Leitrim --they sometimes went without when young as their father who was a farmers vet died .
the poverty marked them for life and my mother became an alcoholic--who is a junky who drinks to the uninitiated.
and this in turn educated me to a degree and marked me for life .
my father was one of 10 on a small south east farm and got a half crown leaving the house at 16 to work for a cousin for no wages for 2 years.
my father was born in 1913 and during the Irish revival his primary school tragically taught everything through Irish and as a result he always said he memorized everything but understood nothing.
and he was intimidated by educated people all his life and would avoid their company.
he told me in a quiet moment once as he was extremely intelligent and had many interests and when i was born he had a small factory and he employed 20 people bottling soft drinks and Guinness for publicans with their own labels on each bottle .
he told me he ""was born a slave"" as the Irish state had not yet come into existence and the British saw us as their property to do as they wished and he felt his status was stateless with an intent by the authorities to enslave him only.
i put off going to America for 50 years and i traveled the rest of the world --i always thought America was the most violent thieving degenerate evil place on earth second only to the British in their thieving.
my wife bought a stay in new York for our 30th wedding anniversary and only for that i would never have gone there.
i am only telling you this Val as you have me very wrong and you have this site also wrong --
i have been on sites before and i really enjoy this one it is small for the moment but it has very interesting characters and a wide range of interests and above all it is not malicious/evil .
it has tangible decency and a sense of humor -- i really enjoy it and i have learned a great deal since joining -- i live in rural Ireland and it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a conversation with literate educated people about the Ukraine and the Irish language and music and poetry at the same time on the same day .
previously you could go an entire year without a conversation which would uplift you ---YOU OF ALL PEOPLE VAL KNOW THIS .
you are no different than me and my era you are just located a few miles away --to the likes of us Val this site is sacred and valuable and a necessary part of our mental good health .
by seeking to diminish it you have diminished yourself and the natural instincts of a rural intelligent experienced Irishman.

Stop talking about it and do it then, you miserable old blowhard.

The chap, like the pervert, is totes obsessed with me.
When ya have the admin using an old cunt from Cavan's account to make his sly remarks ya know the place is dead.
So funny, so tragic, so bye bye.
Job done, gimp.

I definitely did get it wrong. I thought this was a political discussion forum, now you tell me it is a nursing home for men with mental issues. I was never suitable to moderate a site like that. I have no medical or psychiatric training at all.

Val what was Aul Lad trying to say here?

 

[AUL LAD]

i seem to have struck a nerve and you say i am the one suffering from nerves .

Val
the physical health of a person is maintained by exercise --the mental health of a person is also maintained by exercise .
conversing with your fellow man is exercise and it produces endorphins which are needed for good health and growth.
Sam Beckett said "" we are all born mad some remain so""
my mental health was tested on more than one occasion and it not a sign of insecurity to mention this.
i am very lucky in my life and i have reasonable physical good health and as far as i know very good mental health and there is a great American saying ""Difficult people are the faculty of life ."".
its not your intention to be helpful and when dealing with a person who could be difficult people are often wary and say as little as possible .
i on the other hand was brought mayfly fishing on the Corrib for years by my father and those who have done it know to put at least 4 fly's on the hook as the trout will inspect it and then open his mouth and suck them to his balls .
i sometimes put a few flies on the story to see how odd the fish is .

Val?

I had a couple up to Maine again today. I am again going up there Monday. These lo g drives are over 200 miles and a trip to The White Mountain a few days back was 350. I will be well happy when things slow down in three more weeks.

This is a good point for debate strangely enough. You see, I did not want to cut out posters who may have any health problems, I wanted to compartmentalise posts into threads between which there would be no cross
over. For example your post should fit into general chat or health thread, but it should not be in a thread on tractors building houses and economics etc. When you buy a newspaper and turn to the deaths page you don't expect to see a notice on the death of Charles De Gaulle. I accept I have a different way of thinking but it works like a dream for me. What I cannot understand is why no one else understands that?

It is hard to believe that those rocks were once connected to Ireland and one could step from that rock to Belmullet before freeing to Cavan.

I never connected mental health with physical health. I agree that without company one would get odd.

I am addicted to making things, I admit that. My mind never stops making things.

 

[valamhic]

These were the type of new posters I was hoping to attract. On a long haul flight they might like to post
but there would have to be discipline to avoid them being abused.

Why?

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Not five minutes ago they weren't allowed operate a car, now they're letting them fly planes.

Are they even allowed converse with an Air Traffic Controller who is not their husband?

I can only add that I do believe Saudi Arabia has a few women pilots a I can say women are now allowed drive
a car there but only for the past few years. The thing I see is that some planes have two women pilots, not just one and a man. I also notice there are dressed to kill. Stick on eyelashes, sparking shirts. Its glammer Lucy in the Sky.

I understand Myles's pestilence but would ask him what he would do if stuck in a foreign airport and the only plane home was piloted by two trannies?

 

[valamhic]

You

Why?

You see Skin, it can get out of hand. See this report about a pilot.
