    Yes.

    If you knew me, which naturally you dont, i would.

    I tell people how i feel, some times it annoys those clsest to me, but i think its appreciated generally, as im not one of those 2 faced people that simle at you and then stab you in the back.

    Often you will find the delivery of what one says, through body language etc although acid tongue'd, doesnt come across as "agressive"
    So how do you know that the people who made those comments aren't just like you.

    Meah, i know, and to be honest, its impossible for you to know, i could be talking shyte now, but - i like to think im genuine - if little else, if one is being an asshole i will tell them, perhaps in a more diplomatic way, but i dont do tongue biting

    I see what you did there.

    Theres a time and a place for it AC.


    If for example Whitewashman decided to Leave the internet and start a thread about it i wouldnt post in it...

    Tongue biting is required for internet. If you dont you get banned.

    You seem to be reading something into my post that I didn't put there. I wasn't abusing you or anything like that if that's what you mean. I'm just pointing out you think that everyone who has said nasty comments is an internet hard man. Then you tell them to **** off. Surely you can see how this makes you look very hypocritical. I know you say you would actually say this to their face but how do you know they wouldn't do the same.

    Seen today that terry has decided to hang up his AH mod coat.

    Personally im disgusted by some of the comments made in this thread. I dont know - im no gent, but my mother often told me that if you havnt got something nice to say dont say it at all, i apply this to the inter net in a slightly different way, if you arent prepared to say something to someones face if you met them in a pub etc, dont post bull**** on the internet - it makes you a pathetic little internet hardman.

    Terry is like John and edward, you either get it or you dont, you then of course either like the chap or dont.

    I like the chap, and i will be sad to see him no longer a member of the AH team, and i wish him well.

    I think it is rather appropritate for a chap that spent so much time in this forum and is liked by so many members to start a thread on this subject, people that disagree with me on this are probably filled with envy due to the fact they wouldnt generate over 300 posts in less than 24 hours if they themselves decided to leave etc..

    Terry has banned me from AH more times than any other mod, perhaps 3 tiimes in 28 months.. warrented 66.666% of the time. I hold no grudge, its the internet. I do however disagree with his parting comments about the other AH mods not knowing their job, i dont think that was particularly nice, i wouldnt have but again its not a major issue..

    Anyhow, sorry you are going big man, enjoyed your 3am drunken threads :)
    All of you that have those negative comments to post.. I extend to you a sincere **** you.

    Brian

    You see, this is a load of bollox... "only say something nice" what a load of rubbish. If you have something to say, just say it, boohoo if it ruffles a few feathers. How you can differentiate between people who would and would not say something to somebodies face is beyond me. Either way, I couldn't really give a damn about your opinions either :)

    Terry's way of modding wasn't liked by everyone, yet people go fcuking nuts to protect him... Cry a little more I say. It's an internet forum, big swinging donkey d!ck...I don't understand why people are getting so emotional and fcuked up when people give Terry a bit of guff... He fcuking deserves it. ;)

    well then the internet is full of very angry people that says alot of nasty things to people, in a less than diplomatic manner, if the things said on the internet were as frequent in person the boards beers would end up in a mass brawl

    Well as a poster I'm going to miss Terry as a mod.

    I may not agree with what he said about the mods here, there's a time and a place but Terry was never one to hold his tongue and we have to respect that.

    I think some people in this thread don't realise the positive influence Terry has had on the forum as a whole. I've seen behind the scenes here and his work rate and dedication the the forum is probably second only to Karoma (sorry if I have offended anyone but I'm only here since '08).

    Terry is/was a character here on boards, we might not have agreed with his decisions posted or some of his threads (he infracted me, only mark I have on my record :o) but when the **** hit the fan and Terry was around you knew it would get sorted and get sorted fairly....granted it might have been the next day!

    I met Terry once at a beers and I have to say he was sound out. Our opinion of mods here is somewhat tarnished by the amount of bannings that they give out, when you meet a person face-to-face you get a feeling of what they're really like.

    I honestly think that AH has lost a great mod, we can see that by the fact that he was liked by some and disliked by others, there was generally no middle ground. If people were indifferent he should be worried.
    I also think that we have a great team of remaining mods here on AH and we are adapting to what our posters want, we are evolving as mods for AHs benefit.

    So Terry I would like to say a big "thank you" from myself, if you were not a mod here I probably would never have been hooked on AH. You gave a hell of a lot to this forum IMHO.


    Thank you Terry.

    I imagine they are not. They might say something to someone's face but I doubt they would put it the same way as they would here. Can you honestly say that if you met one of them, you'd call them an internet hardman and tell them to **** off.

    You are behaving like a total dick in this thread. You didnt like him, so fúcking what? Give it a rest, you're boring a lot of people who knew and liked Terry. Why post in here if you're gonna act the knob? What's the point? You're just showing yourself up tbh!

    I protect him as the only reason we became friends is because of AH. I met such a good friend through an "internet forum". As for a donkey dick, i was there the night the pic was taken, i'll say no more :P

    We're really good friends and you acting like a rothweiler who's chewing a wasp is pretty pathetic. "its only an internet forum" Iam, so why get so pissed off with one member? ;)

    It's not as big of a bang as I wanted either, but you don't always get what you want.

    Once again, I'm not so deluded as to think that everyone likes me.
    Quite frankly, I really and truly couldn't give a flying **** what others think of me. I'm just here for a laugh.

    "circlejerks" are natural to form. It happens in everyday life without being noticed so don't expect it not to occurr in an online community.

    You're here nearly 4 months so don't worry, you'll find your "circlejerk" soon enough.

    I've been here a lot longer than that under different guises.

    I have no interest in circle jerking with anyone.

    Well, I like circle jerks .. especially if I am the only guy ;)

    With Terry I have had just some slight minor run-ins under my last username but OutlawPete and Terry never crossed swords. Argreed with some bannings and not so much with others but that's life.

    So good luck man with whatever it is you do and if it's okay with you for the next five minutes I'd like to pretend your dead (:)) as I have the perfect song.

    I'm a Boss fan (no **** :)) and one of my favourite Springsteen tracks is 'Terry's Song' that he wrote when his manager / best friend died.

    Think there is just about enough love on the thread left, when you clear out all the neg's so here it is .. just focus on the lyrics and think of Terry shivering naked at The Spire (€10 more to the Bollocko fund if I can't make at least one boardsie cry with this) :)

    Terry's Song .. :(

    Bollocko for mod of the year. Seriously.

    Best of luck with the other mods. None of them know what they want or what they're doing in AH.


    *Note. I'm excluding Zohan from that. He's new.
    Jaysus, suprised by how some people have replied to Terry's opening post. It's hardly scathing criticism. He didn't even swear once, not even one bit of abuse. Infact, I'd be inclined to agree with it, and it raises good points. Modding in AH is all over the place atm, it appears as if some are taking feedback into account and others not so much. AH modding needs a serious overhaul. Anyway, this isn't the time or place.

    See ya Terry, even though you're not actually leaving or anything...just resigning from modding...
