Just sloppy use of language, no pop at Jacob or saw nibs. Seems as good an explanation as any and has common sense reasoning behind it. More to do with Nibs tbh and saying hello and the nature of the internet community in general really. It just made me chuckle. That was it.
The use of the word degenerated and the phrase 'personal debate' was lazy. There's probably far more apt ones, but I'm as tired as last night so I still can't think of them.
A light hearted comment on the nature of internet forum chats sparking minor controversy over misunderstanding of the intent of said comments and getting sidetracked has almost by a miracle become side tracked as a light hearted comment on the internet being misinterpreted from the original intent of it's meaning.
It's almost as if we find it hard to decipher text only interactions with people we will never meet and have no understanding of other than the persona they wish to portray anonymously when the one common bond many of us have is, and will only ever be, an interest in all things wood. Or some things wood. Or just turning wood. Or CNC . Or 'I used to love wood until Wadkin came along.... Even there, the differences are staggering, never mind, age, social intricacies, all the usual obstacles in real life to people forming actual real relationships.
The fact that the forum works at all is a marvel. This forum, any forum on the internet.
No offence meant personally John. To you or Jacob. Lets make that clear. :wink:
Best regards
Chris
