It was obviously a completely insincere apology. As I have said in the "hints" thread, I think the site is "managed" by a few of you and you bully people who aren't in your little select band. I think it would be a good thing if you stopped posting so as to give others a chance.

My advice would be to not join in threads when people criticise me. You are obviously the centre of my attention as your rudeness started the conflict.

Well, well it's me again

Couldn't resist the temptation to poke my nose in (again) to say that whilst I certainly couldn't condone some of the rather obnoxious postings of Pete, I also couldn't condone the equally obnoxious responses of regulars who should know better.

I used to enjoy contributing, positively, I hope, with a combination of information and humour. However, the pleasantries of the daytime were much too often ruined by the purile name calling and use of gutter rhetoric of the late evening, probably booze fuelled and leading to poor decision making in deciding to respond.

I will continue to access the forum in the hope that, hey ho, it will return to the halcyen days of yore.

Whatever happened to good old campo??

Well said. I too do not condone Pete's approach, however in substance, he does have a point. Perhaps Pete has been "sent" to us to shake out our introverted and unwelcoming attitudes, probably imbued in us by our need for relationship and comradeship?

I have traced back the conflict and clearly it was Trevor who willfully attacked Pete to begin with. Perhaps Pete was very hurt by Trevor's attitude. Pete has aplogised to Trevor, alas Trevor has continued to criticise Pete on many threads, thus Trevor's apology was insincere? Perhaps Trevor should apologise to all of us for ruining the site?

Campo (campanilla)

Is that really you? You never used an upper case initial, which was a little ironic as I, along with probably all other posters to this erstwhile exellent forum, would consider your contributions as definitely UPPER CLASS - yes I am shouting it.

So, maybe someone decided to respond in agreement using the psuedenym (spelling looks dodgy?) Campo.

Hmm - I like Trevor....but I like Pete too...

Harry Hill. Wow! At last somebody who likes me! I shall make a diary entry to celebrate. Cheers Matey!

All,

Just completed this one. If anyone needs any hints or tips, just shout.

Cheers

Come off it JimB
"Pete"'s sole reason for being here is to disrupt.
He has not answered any clues and his 1st post was to ask for a dozen or more answers with no clues(11a, 34a, 4d...etc)nothing wrong in that Per se,except it quickly became obvious that he wasn't bothered about the answers.

As for the reply from Campo - of course it is him - he has used lots of other posters names.

Also,name calling and use of gutter rhetoric of the late evening is still quite rare and usually sorted out in a frienly manner and kept to one thread.

Well now, this is the first time I have visited this forum in weeks only to find that someone, once again, is using my name in vain!! Great to hear from you Jimbo, hope you and Mrs. Jimbo are keeping well. I stopped posting a long time ago when it stopped being fun and got really nasty at times, as I presume you did to. Remember the good old days when jokes were funny and humour was clean? When Trevor was a genius with the most obscure facts, Pooksahib was always interesting and John from Arran posted mind-boggling puzzles? Those were the days!! Just so you know that it is really me, I still have visions of the Juliet Cap that Mrs. Jimbo found in the car!!!

By the way, John, whatever happened to the answers for the picture puzzle we did and you were supposed to get the answers at Christmas?

Finished Araucaria for once. But can't figure out why 7 down is 'imitation'. Copy I understand, but don't get cap left off. Any help?
