@FMF
I think I must be a bit dim here.
I have seen your mate, divegeester, claim that Ghost 'begged' you to join his club.
I am saying categorically that, despite inviting me 3 times to join, I never felt he was begging me.
I am simply asking you if YOU feel he was 'begging' you.
A simple yes/no will do.
No need for references to me to search any archives.
Just yes/no
How hard is that?
@blood-on-the-tracks saidYes, as usual.
I think I must be a bit dim here.
He pressed me three times in a short space of time despite an unequivocal and fully explianed "no" on each occasion. I think he interpreted the rejection of his imploring as a personal snub and then, out of the blue, manufactured some kind of silly dispute with me in private about Suzianne to justify burning his bridges.
@blood-on-the-tracks saidHere is the post you were replying to, again:
I am simply asking you if YOU feel he was 'begging' you.
I was pressed to join three times in the space of about a week. I was appently a key figure in his plan to gut the General Forum and he wanted me in the relatively new group as he saw me as a long standing friend and, according to him, an excellent poster. But I was not interested. Shortly thereafter he flounced out of divegeester's club and the rest is history. However, despite the vindictive attempt to sabotage the radio programme, it's still going strong and I post a link to it every week.
@blood-on-the-tracks saidWhat does this have to do with me and Ghost of a Duke?
I am saying categorically that, despite inviting me 3 times to join, I never felt he was begging me.
@blood-on-the-tracks saidJust read what I am posting.
You avoid the direct question
Do you think Ghost BEGGED you to join his club
@fmf saidActually, my original post one and a half pages ago, was really directed at divegeester, who clearly stated that Ghost 'begged' you to join his club.
What does this have to do with me and Ghost of a Duke?
I simply replied saying that I had received similar invitations from Ghost, had not accepted them, but never felt he was 'begging' me to join.
As you have decided to chip in, I am asking you if you feel he 'begged' you to join his club. Several times. It seems a Labour of Hercules to extract a yes/no answer
@blood-on-the-tracks saidThis is completely irrelevant.

@blood-on-the-tracks saidYou seem to be begging me for my attention rather than looking for conversation. If you cannot understand the explicit meaning of what I am saying and then process that meaning using whatever synonyms or turns of phrase that YOU want, then so be it. To me, you are acting dumb. To you, perhaps it's just your chosen persona here.

@blood-on-the-tracks saidNo. What, you were asked three times over a period of nine months? What does that have to do with what I have described?
You see no similarity at all?
@fmf saidHey, you over estimate yourself.

I am asking (not begging) for a yes/no answer to the question that I am frankly, sick of asking.
I suspect it will not come
Cause your mate has put you in a rather difficult situation
@blood-on-the-tracks saidHere's my telling of it: He pressed me three times in a short space of time despite an unequivocal and fully explained "no" on each occasion. I think he interpreted the rejection of his imploring as a personal snub.

@blood-on-the-tracks saidThis is not true at all. Not in the slightest. He has described what happened accurately. And I have taken the time to explain the same episode to you too.

@fmf saidSo, do you think he was 'begging' you?
Here's my telling of it: He pressed me three times in a short space of time despite an unequivocal and fully explained "no" on each occasion. I think he interpreted the rejection of his imploring as a personal snub.
It is yes or no
Beg is not my word, blame your mate.
If you choose not to answer (and you have my sympathy, he has put you in a hole), I am done for now.
