Or are there two breakaway groups - the one that I moderate and another breakaway group, plus the original one? 55 minutes ago, iris123 said: Well it doesn’t make sense if people are miffed at your antics, to then ask you to start up a group so they can get away from you. Does it ? Unless they were trying to get rid of you sneakily.... The breakaway group as you call it was formed after I discovered the original Wimbledon group headlocked me as a member. I just formed the now NEW group according to Facebook guidelines. At its FB approval I then pasted Links to established FB speedway groups as a result of which people joined. New members continue to enrol each week. I have no idea if any of them are/were also members of the original group which has a block on me.

I was referring to the people who were fed up with you and formed a group you were also blocked from. It seems there were two Wimbledon groups that didn't want you........I didn't even know about your group until a day or so ago..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then in the Conference League period again twice weekly from 2002 to 2005. I am surprised to learn there are two other Wimbledon Facebook groups. I only knew the one organised by Terry Mussett which banned me. That led to the formation of my Wimbledon group. The other Wimbledon group I have never heard of or joined so obviously not banned there. I would be obliged if you could confirm the FB titles for both Terry Mussett's group and the second group which you mention please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I have no idea what the other group was called. But it was formed by some guy who goes around dressed like a walking Wimbledon mascot and calls himself womble. Think I saw him in a photo at the Celebration of Speedway event. No idea why you upset him and others. It really is a mystery and surprise that someone with your service at the SLP could ever upset anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in your learned opinion do I use this on the BSF? BTW how initially in basic terms ' how did I manage to get 'your knickers in a twist'?

It was originally on an article in the States. The photo you posted still had the watermark or stamp of that magazine on it. So it has been copied from that article and then pasted elsewhere including here There is a google facility to check photos. It is often used by people trying to track down pics or even track down if their photo has been used elsewhere. You go on the google search page and up in the right hand corner ( on my phone it is up in the middle)there is an image link. Then you post your photo or the url and do a search Edited May 7, 2020 by iris123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to attempt a clarification - it was basically intended for Steve Hone who has expressed concerns in regard to cut-and-paste issues. My sincere apologies if I have created confusion elsewhere for other users. Edited May 8, 2020 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
