Nobody posting in a forum should have to meet anyone half-way, or any other proportion of the way, to anywhere.
7 or 8 of us have the same problems with your posts, Martin, and we say so regularly.
The only realistic way to resolve this issue is for you to change your posting-style. Which, according to some of your recent posts, you’ve expressed yourself as being willing to do, and I welcome that and thank you for it.
@LaughingCharlie
i don’t get you here
CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS
on one hand
you say
and this suggests you want to fix things
then you say this
and then this…
so… What ??
You guys are not willing to compromise and I HAVE TO CHANGE LOL
I mean… i’m interpreting arrogance here and double standards
AM I WRONG ?
REALISTIC would be for all parties involved to work together towards a common goal
Not having all parties tell one party to conform
so please clarify if i’ve misunderstood you
No Martin, what L-C said was;
Significantly different IMHO from the way you chose to confront the invitation. 
[EDIT : THIS ENTIRE POST HAD BEEN INTENTIONALLY DELETED BY ME (Martin K).
there was some confusion in the post,
and at the Request of @Falstaff , who brought the error to my attention,
I have agreed to remove the post in the hope that this will fix whatever the issue is.
i apologize for any inconvenience caused
and whatever was caused was not intentional or malicious on my part.
Sincerely
Martin K ]
@Falstaff
and another thing though
he also said this…
followed by …
so… tell me IN YOUR OPINION
how do you interpret this
I INTERPRET IT AS
he is not willing to change
he doesn’t care
he just wants me to change
now… understand
I’m not being arrogant or stubborn
but i’m sensing a lot of rudeness here and non co-operation
tha’ts the way i interpret it
based on this…
so… his morals and his levels of belief of what is right and wrong tells him that Negotiation, Co-Operation and Give and Take are not options nor is compromise
and that no one on this forum should have to do any of the above
in my opinion if a person holds that belief , you can’t get anywhere and there will always be argument because a sense of negotiation or compromise does not exist.
and therefore only selfishness is present.
that’s how i see it
so… how do you interpret it ? for the record
Martin - Two posts ago, (post 69) you have quoted me as saying something which I believe I never did say.
Please explain ?
@Falstaff
ok, no problem
what was that thing that i said that you believe you did not say
can you put a screenshot of it up and i’ll do my best to explain it
i do realize you referenced Post 69, however i can’t see numbers on posts, i don’t know how to find them like that.
i usually rely on people to copy Quotes in
so get that to me and i’ll explain whatever i said… ok
no problem
There is your reference
[Edit submitted before you denied that you can see the post numbers ]
what ???
where is the reference ?
i don’t understand
and is this supposed to be sarcasm ??
mate, i can’t see numbers ok
i really have no idea where Post 69 is ok
i didn’t DENY i SAID… i can’t see them
there’s a difference
you make it sound like i’m lying.
so where is the screen of what you said you did not say
and of what i mistquoted you as saying
and ill explain it
This is it ;
PLease rectify it.
ok… I understand
that’s a COPY OF A QUOTE FROM YOUR POST
YOU SAID THAT
how could i copy the quote if you didn’t ?
and if i copied from the wrong person, how is your avatar there ?
Mate, you did say this
and i appreciated it (For the record)
what’s wrong with it anyway ?
HANG ON… SOMETHING IS WEIRD HERE…
I just looked back through the posts
it would appear that @LaughingCharlie said it
as per this screenshot of the post
ok. so i guess that charlie said it
but now i don’t understand this
how can your avatar be in the original quote that i posted when charlie said it.
I’m confused
ok… i accept now that you did not say it… fair enough
and clearly i got you and charlie confuses in all the arguments
but how does your avatar end up there… i don’t get that
ok, but in conclusion
YOU TECHNICALLY DIDN’T SAY IT
so…
even though i don’t understand why it’s a big deal
TELL ME : WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO EDIT AND I’LL EDIT IT
Show me where I said it - I never did !
The quotation in my post was from @LaughingCharlie i believe - but you have incorporated it as being a quote from me !
PLease rectify it !
@Falstaff
ok mate… Relax… we are working on it… ok
i interpret this
as you being pissed off… ok
clearly THIS IS A MISTAKE SOMEHOW… RELAX … IT’LL BE FIXED OK
clearly it was done in error
and i still don’t know why your avatar is there, but maybe that’s what contributed to the error , maybe it’s something that the script on this site does
but irrespective IT’S AN HONEST MISTAKE… ok
so… relax and give me a bit to look through the entire post… ok
I’ll get back to you when it’s done.
is that cool
Thank you mate, appreciate it
@Ben1987
thank you Ben
that’s basically all correct mate
it’s what i’ve been trying to say from the beginning
thank you
ok mate, I’ve just spent all that time looking through EVERY SINGLE POST ok
and trying to weed out ANYTHING that i may have misquoted you on
I think i got it all
have a look and tell me what you think
are you happy with the edit ?
let me know
also i think an explanation is in order
after reading all this
i can see what happened
i got caught up in talking to you and charlie and at one point the posts (sort of blended into one) if you know what i mean.
point is… it was not malicious or intentional
it was simply done in error
i have apologized for my error
I hope this makes it cool
let me know if there’s anything else… ok
Oh let it go people.
@Falstaff
Mate… it’s 3am here in sydney … ok
i know you’re online
i took the time to read through the whole post ok
i got up out of bed FOR YOU
to edit WHAT YOU ASKED ME TO EDIT
the least you could do is answer my question
I’m waiting for you to respond so we can put this behind us. ok
