[Daveshadowman]

I have just seen on tweeter that Dave is leaving the forum we can not loss such a valued member please sort this

 

[gamma38]

Don't know or have tweeter. Agree though, is it his decision to go??

 

[Bubblecraft]

Just seen that to. What's that about? Dave can't leave!

 

[Andy Allen]

reading between the lines it seems Dave's been accused of pushing certain products on the forum, dare I use the 'S' word......way I see it he's switched to using a good product and telling his fellow tilers about it, is this not what a forum's all about..? sad, sad day if Dave leave's...**yawn**

 

[gamma38]

The forum wouldn't be the same without his tact.........

seriously though his knowledge will be missed, he gave great honest advise...

can't the powers that be sort out the differences.

No harm meant.......just normal banter.

 

[Andy Allen]

Yep it's all you're fault....lol

 

[CJ]

It would indeed be a tragic loss to the forum

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

I blame Mr T lol

 

[widler]

I blame sigma, when he was using rubi he was a normal fellow then he moved to 'the other side' and became like a man possessed with bezzulbub himself

Dan pandering to sponsors and not making any money off Derek. Sad day when you can only talk about products or companies who are paying a sponsorship fee. Poor move, the forum was doing well with getting away from its biased image but it's back to square one again if this sort of censorship continues. Is the forum for free tiling discussion or for lining someones pockets?

And obviously there are 2 sides to every story and I can only guess at the moment you've heard 1 side so far Peter. I'd just like to remind all members that this forum is owned by Dan and he makes his livelihood from this business. It is up to Dan who he has on board as sponsors and whether there are caveats tied into those arrangements is for Dan to be aware of and manage the forum accordingly. The forum is for free tiling discussion and a lot of discussion has always been had about many of the tile cutter manufacturers but a line has now been drawn in this particular matter. If this upsets anybody, please do not hesitate to contact Dan directly to discuss your concerns.

As far as I am aware, Dave hasn't left the forum; I've seen that he's been logged into the forum today. it is up to Dave if he wishes to continue contributing to the forum, just as everybody else has the choice. We expect members to come and go, and we also expect members to have respect for other members of the forum and the forum itself.

I'm closing this thread as I feel this doesn't require anymore discussion. Dan is the person to speak to if you feel aggrieved by the curtailing of Sigma discussions.

 

[Dan]

Give me a shout if you have an issue anybody.
But I wont discuss the situation in the public forums.
