Scroll up the page and see...I must admit I did add it after the original post had gone up so you may not have see it to be fair. Oh I thought you meant a post a few days ago, with all this meltdown I thought I'd never find it! No I don't agree with it, I think the words used are a bit OTT. But I find it interesting that you find that offensive and not all the personal abuse Gavan dishes out!! Funny how the forum is less aggressive with him not on here anymore (so far!)

No I don't agree with it, I think the words used are a bit OTT. But I find it interesting that you find that offensive and not all the personal abuse Gavan dishes out!! Funny how the forum is less aggressive with him not on here anymore (so far!) I do find a lot of Gavan's posts rather strong, however he does get a whole host of stick so sometimes he has just provocation and a lot of the time that provocation is deliberate. He does also spend a lot of time on the Poole threads which I do find rather strange, but overall I personally find Gavan fine to deal with. Speak to him civilly and he's fine. Speak to him aggressively and you get exactly that in return. That's his style I guess. Overall I personally find SS more offensive than Gavan as his posts are generally well thought out and written in a deliberate fashion to provoke. He also won't back down and changes his tune as and when it suits himself to 'win' an argument. I also really dislike the way he likes to portray himself as some kind of Poole supporter mouthpiece. That I detest. So for me, Gavan wears his heart on his sleeve but SS is far more devious. Having said the above, I have my moments too of course Hope that explains things for you Lisa. p.s. I await Shovlars response as I know he won't be able to hold things in after reading the above...so come on lad, let's have it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Of course he is devious he is a antiques dealer, i hope he's not offended by me announcing that to the world!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeds Pirate Blue Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Gavan can be reasonable, but his war with Starman is one of the most annoying things on this forum. Both parties need to ignore each other, permanently. I'd also add that the clearly antagonistic language from a Gavan post is only rivalled by the level of righteousness they often display! It's a shame because I've seen him have some quality debates at times. As for Shovvy, well, he's the forum's troll in Poole colours, and as others have pointed out, it's usually screamingly obvious in the way his posts are written as to what the intended effect is.... I also sit with him on a regular basis at Wimborne Rd and think he's a pretty sound bloke, and you'd know that too if you came and said hello!

Problem is Gavan cannot debate, i hope he treats his customers with a little more professional respect than he does posters on here, otherwise he'd never sell a pushbike, never mind a car.... As for Steve, yes he's a very decent bloke, and an ardent poole fan. Edited September 16, 2016 by Starman2006 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even a personal friend of his admits he's a troll and deliberately posts for a reaction! Priceless (see what I did there? ). I rest my case m'lud, guilty as accused Problem is Gavan cannot debate, i hope he treats his customers with a little more professional respect, otherwise he'd never sell a pushbike, never mind a car.... As for Steve, yes he's a very decent bloke, and an ardent poole fan. Well I have no problem debating with him, so you're wrong there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only similarity that I have with Gavan is that we both don't suffer fools. It appears that most of the forum has the same trait when responding to your posts. That isn't a personal attack on you starman (before you kick off in your usual fashion!), unfortunately it's just reality.

ouch Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Just put these clowns on ignore. You see Shovlars posts when quoted but just scroll by. He has nothing of merit to say and no integrity what so ever, chopping and changing his opinions to suit. His comments about Clare Balding were a disgrace but not unexpected given his view of women. He will slip up again no doubt and be off to "Rome" again. It's a shame as after his last "trip" he seemed somehow reformed and his posts were fine but he returned to type and as I say this will see him slip up again. Better dust off that Italian phase book. 😀 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually we are off to the West Indies for a couple of weeks at Sandy Lane in November. Lovely. BOOM! SS has been owned. What are you on about now? Weird.

Depends on work...something which us grown ups have to do. If I can get away I'll be there, if I can't I won't. Some of us have an hour and a half rush hour journey to get to Poole!! It's on Sky so I won't be missing anything. Oh and ouch pretty much nailed things - that's what I'm on about. Didn't you comprehend that? Weird.

Barrow Boy 2 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Why does that matter? Tungate was the first to break the rules. I just thought that it was all about being still at the start. I was not aware that spinning a back wheel constituted being an offence, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
