Guys,
I've got stuff to do, so this is an 'off the cuff' post (probably ill-thought out), before I lock the subject; but I think a large portion of the blame must lie at the 'mods' door.
It's a difficult line to tread when it comes to enforcing a strict 'window cleaning only' rule, or having a 'window cleaning forum', allowing a bit of banter too.
I've also had a couple of e-mails regarding this matter, and I personally don't think anyone was 'too close to the knuckle', and judging by the e-mails; one of them from a person from Liverpool; there was no major crime committed.
Let it lie.
This hasn't been the first time someone has taken offence and deleted their account; then re-emerged a little later! (Steve K has done this before and admitted that he may have been a little... I can't remember exactly, but if challenged, I'll dig his explanation out).
I suggest we don't make too much of a fuss, otherwise it'll be harder for someone in that position to return if they have a change of heart!
