Is this how it's going to work then?

Very well put ngb, excellent post.

He certainly has lookout. Maybe some people should take a step back and consider how they would cope with Mike's condition

You're telling me,Maggie.

[Jane]

Yes, I understand now April.  You have a clever way with words.

Neil, you lovely man, how very kind

[susan]

Lookout  excellent post and as is yours ngb. We have to make allowances for Mike is it too much to ask to show him some humanity and respect that is the very least he can expect from members posting on HIS forum.

Jim's membership has been reinstated.

That doesn´t really help much, the damage is done. You have to agree with EVERYTHING, even the most absurd claims, otherwise you receive a sh##load of profanities (have been there myself) and /or get banned.
This is not a place where you can speak freely, and I resent that.

It would seem that jim has been reregistered under a slightly different name (Jim). There are still posts on the board by jim, but recent ones seem to have disappeared.

I won't be posting for a while myself. I'll keep reading hopefully, but the forum has really descended into a bit of a farce now. Some posters are allowed to say whatever they want, however revolting or pious, whereas others are seemingly censored, usually after pushing mike on some of his more ridiculous theories. Added to that we have the forum owner expecting everyone to simply believe every word he utters, without any foundation whatsoever. This attitude is why I believe the numbers are so low now as its really not a very pleasurable experience listening to mike preach and watching some of you encourage him to tell further lies. That's all he has left now is his imagination. 10 years ago he had lots of unpublished docs, not seen outside the legal teams and he sought to find bamber a way out, in exchange for a share in the revenue from bamber's future fortune. When this and bamber's numerous legal attempts failed, he sought to invent informers and has stretched the truth to breaking point. Claiming to be withholding documents and images almost certain to help free bamber makes him a clown who even the most fervent supporter should be castigating, not telling him what a brilliant job he's doing! Because, almost certainly, Tesko has damaged both bamber's chances of release, as referred to by the CCRC, was directly responsible for the sacking of one of the countries leading MOJ lawyers (by telling lies), but is now directly contradicting bamber's own views on what might have happened and wants nothing more to do with him. Only in the wonderful world of bamber can you have a multiple convicted thief fighting for the release of a mass murderer and the mass murderer wants nothing to do with the thief! Even the solicitor before last is doing time! And he was the one who took mike most seriously! Mike recently described him as a genius!
But worst of all, particularly in recent years, mike has made the most vile lurid allegations against the relatives, both living and dead. Gross sexual details that bear no relation to the case and an addiction to posting up images of dead relatives at the drop of a hat. It's wrong, it's disrespectful and it's psychologically worrying. Even bamber has complained about it but mike takes no notice.
I've met some really lovely genuine people through this forum, so I thank mike for that and I'll try and keep in touch with you all. All the best, Vic.

Well said

Something not mentioned - Mike relentlessly floods the board with repetitive threads and relentlessly floods each of his threads, flooding at a maniacal fever pitch that shuts down discourse. And he's not using flooding simply to bury one or two threads that devolved badly or made him look bad, he's using flooding as a weapon to categorically block all discourse.

And that in English means what exactly? If you don't like what you read on this forum then don't read it...simples!

Tyler, forgive me for interjecting at this point, but that's a rather banal and incredibly unproductive response. People come to this thread to debate and read others threads and learn, if this is not what is happening, then clearly there is a problem. Just saying 'dont read it' is like saying you can watch this TV channel but some content within is put out by the programme owners, don't watch it.
It's easy to say what you did, that seem sto be the standard trumpet blast sounded out by shoulder shruggers the world over, but many deeply care what is written and the accuracy od what's being posted. People are obviously deeply concerned, being incredibly dismissive and fillipant about wahat they should do really doesn't help.

[tyler]

Well,first of all I don't recall asking for your opinion,and secondly - the poster sirsimon, whoever he or she is,does not come here to debate,only to make snide comments every now and again.

I hope you do not agree with everything in Vic's post Patti.  I like and respect Vic but his post is extremely insulting towards Mike and I am not prepared to associate myself with that.  Vic has also attacked the moderators/admins, which of course includes you as well as me. 

I have not liked seeing the goading of Mike by some members, which in my view is only done in order to provoke Mike into a reaction, in the hope of showing him in a bad light.  Mike does overreact at times, but he always calms down.  We should remember that Mike's health is not good and should take that into consideration when forming judgements about his actions here.

Vic has applied to delete his account.  I will not action that at present so that he is able to respond if he wishes.

Hi Neil

No I don't agree with everything that Vic says and I think Vic knows this, but on the other hand I don't agree with everything that Mike says either. What I strongly oppose to is the foul language used and Mike knows I don't like it.  I don't have to agree with what everyone says and no doubt most of the time people don't agree with me, but I don't swear at them and tell them to fuck off and call them cunts on a public forum either.   

Normally I try to remain impartial and sometimes I let things go, but when it gets heavy I ask for restraint, this was ignored the other night and I did say that this was a pro Bamber forum and for those that don't like what they read, then the door is open for them to leave.  We all have a choice of who's posts we read and we are all responsible for what we post.

Sorry I have rushed this post I have my family over, will be back later.  Patti

It's Mike's forum and it is his to destroy if he wants. All I can say on the matter is that I got on quite well with Jim and think that he just got fed up with Mikes stretching of the truth into something else. And promising things that just don't happen? Jim usually made good arguments. He wasn't here as a troll. I for one think that deleting his account was very unfortunate. But as I said before, it is Mikes forum to destroy if he wants. I just think that what he did was very unwise. Tell you the truth there's nothing much on here now anyway and we are have become like vultures, posting the same old pictures of this unfortunate murdered family and picking over the same old dry bones of these victims.

[nugnug]

i think its very unfair to say that we haven't got free speech on this forum.

i mean if that was true this thread wouldn't be here.

[Caroline R]

Mike isn't bothered about people disagreeing, I don't agree with quite a few of his theories and i haven't been sworn at (yet). What he objects to is being called a liar.

Well said Neil, people are free to agree or disagree with Mike's theories but certain points are continually brought up in order to wind him up. I agree that the swearing is out of order but people here knno how to push his buttons and do so frequently, then they complain about his behaviour. I PM'd Mike about Jim but he has obviously realised in the cold hard light of day that he over reacted. I must also add that I hope Vic doesn't leave!! I guess it's all a case of if you don't want a fire, don't strike a match!!
