Especially if they are risking your life too by been in the car with them.

In these circumstances, (b)

Was your text from Hudge? - 'Oh crap, you never guess what I've been caught doing now!'

My hero, have a blue peter badge



Could we vote you president of the tufty club please ?

Bet you've been all day thinking up that little gem

Nope, been at work actually, thanks for the compliment though.

What compliment

Your overwhelming appreciation of my effortless humour, isn’t that what you meant?

Er....ok... if you say so

Speak for yourself. If some dozy fugger ran into me because he was texting I'd knock the fugger out

Staggeringly inappropriate remark from a mod.

The vast majority of people will NOT have committed such a dangerous and selfish act

You ice cream men sure get around

Correct.

So I take it the scope of a moderator on a RL Forum has widened.

Yeah whatever.
Didnt realise i need to sainthood to mod this forum.
Over reaction me thinks.

What a surprise.

Well he didnt run into anyone did he so whats your point except for trying to create some sort of hardman persona.

Thing is Hudgell has already been in trouble with the law on the driving front, and runs a law firm specialising in compensation for, amongst other things, road traffic accidents caused by driving without due care and attention. To dismiss it as something trivial and then to imply that this criminal offence is committed by virtually everyone is poor form. There obviously aren't any moderators that are independent from clubs, as by definition they are fans of the club whose board they moderate, but there is an expectation (rightly or wrongly) that they rise above the behaviour of club apologist.

While I disagree with GML's assessment, surely mods should only be judged by their adherence to the AUP and after that the same standards as other posters - possibly even forgiving the odd bit of weary sarcasm that would afflict any of us if we had to deal with trolls everyday.

Kids, mods are not role models! unless you want to be a mod when you grow up I suppose. I expect they are mostly arsonists, fraudsters and drug abusers (which in no way affects their excellent management of the moderation process, of course).

Unlikely in my case.

hes not the 1st and unfortunatley he wont be the last so get over it, the sooner the season starts and these cr*p troll threads end the better.

Well summed up.

In their haste to burn Hudge at the stake and throw me on too they may have missed the fact that i never condoned texting whilst driving.
I am fully aware that the loss of concentration whilst driving can lead to accidents.
Im assuming these people never change a CD then which can also cause an accident.
Its not something i do as a matter of course i do its something i said i have done in the past.
Reading a text ive been sent.
What that has to do with being a mod on here god only knows.
Perhaps behaving like adults whilst posting should be compulsary for some if its a moral crusade they want and they want to set a good example.

I'd disagree with you there. Like everyone else a mod is entitled to his own views, especially when it comes to matters that actually have nothing whatsoever to do with the game. For what it's worth I disagree with GML in this instance. When I see this behavior on the road it infuriates me and in my opinion it should lead to a ban.
However it has nothing to do with the club or it's supporters so it seems slightly sad to see the opposing fans swarming all over the forum full of mock indignation. The reality is it's simple point scoring no different to that which went on over Raynor and Cockayne to name but two.

Give over you plank, when did he enrol as the moral police?

And you an'all.
