Banned again

[lurker]

Oh god, yet another "I love Jacob" thread is starting. These come around every quarter or so.

Maybe he starts threads like this for the ego trip.
For the record I agree with much he says....... If only he would stick to techniques & his undoubted practical experience and not be a bit of an a hole.
Write what you would be prepared to say to someone's face.

I haven't been on for a few days and enjoyed reading a thread start to finish on sharpening. I say "enjoyed" because it wasn't until the last post I realised not a single comment from Jacob. That's the first sharpening thread I haven't given up on in disgust for a long...long time =D>

Oh well! What can one say?

As if you didn't know, it's what you do say and the way you say it that gets you banned :roll: Great shame when you have so much experience and knowledge to offer that your sarcasm and political views get in the way.

I have always enjoyed Jacob's post, and BB's putdowns. All pretty mild compared to the banter on the sites (real sites, not www sites) and workshops I've worked in.

You enjoyed that? It was absolute nonsense. Much ado about f.all. I mean seriously, that thread needed a Jacob to come in at post number. . . 2, just to really straighten out a few minds.

:lol: :lol: Well maybe "enjoyed" was a bit strong. Swap that for interest as it's always interesting to see what others views are even if I don't agree with them, I just don't see the need for slagging matches or abuse.

I didn't learn anything but at least I read it (and presumably you did as well) rather than give it up as I've done with others when the insults start to flow and it gets personal. If Jacob had come in at "post number...2" as you suggest it would probably have become a major argument by post number 6. :lol:

Sorry Jacob, you're getting stick for threads you haven't even posted on :wink:

cheers

Although I'm fairly new around here, I've found most of Jacobs posts interesting and I do tend to agree with his basic
reaction to some of the sharpening posts as too much money and not enough skills.
He gives his honest opinion, but sadly, with both barrels on occasions.
A member mentioned the post concerning the fairly battered table, left to the poster by his Grandfather,
As I recall when Jacob suggested the poster to "Burn it"! I don't think that anyone was aware of its significance to the poster, as in being left by Grandad, whom had, (at the time) recently deceased.
Any other occasion, Not bothering with the top may well have been other members thoughts, but of course jacob said what he said.
I think he's a valuable one off asset to the forum, and as long as the Mods are prepared to "wind his neck in" sometimes,
I, for one, would be happy to watch out for his knowledge, advice and the odd snipe, on future posts.
I'd like to point out I don't know the man or where he lives, and he does not owe me any money.
Regards Rodders

 

[Jacob]

Thanks for that Rodders (there's a fiver in the post).
No I knew nothing about the table's history. How could I - it hadn't been mentioned anywhere? Sorry if it caused offence. But I did add some perfectly OK advice (IMHO) on what to do about it.

PS I knew nothing about this table issue until I read AES's bad tempered rant (above). Was this why I was banned? Strange.

 

[Lons]

I've been banned recently - for no obvious reason. I wasn't planning to return at all but I notice that my posts have been edited too. So you probably won't see this message for long either. Oh well! What can one say? cheers Jacob

Jacob, you know rightly why I banned you, no need for the "no obvious reason" nonsense. All you had to do show a little humanity after your behavior to a fellow member

I knew nothing about this table issue until I read AES's bad tempered rant (above). Was this why I was banned? Strange.

The above quotes are clearly at odds. I think that's the strange thing :wink: How many times have you been banned? Doesn't that tell you something other than "why me?" :lol: (hammer)

Just to clarify though Jacob, I'd rather you were't banned as you do talk a great deal of sense most of the time and I guess your cr*p attitude is just what makes you who you are. A pity really, not for you as you've suggested on many occassions that you don't give a toss, but for those of us who would be genuinely interested in what you have to say but stop reading when the rants and abuse starts.

You have such a wealth of knowledge Jacob that would be of immense help to the newbies out their so keep posting the good stuff.

cheers
Bob

...

No they aren't.
I'm not sure why I was banned - it seems to be about the table, but nobody has actually bothered to tell me. I didn't know the table was an issue until I read the above by AES.

Well Noel says you do know so they are at odds the way I read it :lol: :lol:

Jacob never does anything wrong. I thought we all knew that. He's an innocent victim, never his fault

Suggest you look up pretentious James and then read some of the post content going way, way back.

Thanks for that Bob but I'm not always in the right you know. There was an incident - 1972 ish as far as I can recall but the details escape me. Bugbear should be able to fill you in.

REALLY ? Hard to believe Jacob :lol:

You do know what you're talking about when it comes to woodworking and I respect and value your opinion and experience. Your choice of words just makes it hard to swallow sometimes.
As I said though, I guess that's what makes you you. We all have our cross to bear :lol:

Oh Jacob, Jacob.

I don't keep track of when you're wrong - life's too short, and you're wrong so often.

I do find it memorable when you admit you're wrong, or admit that you've learnt something from someone else. That's a rare event indeed.

But I like to think I'm keeping you at least a little honest.

Can you really recall the last time I admitted I was wrong and/or learnt something from someone else? When was it?
