I've been away for a few days and came back to read this, all about the Goldfinger quad; well, actually, more about the principle of it in relation to Mel's behaviour.
On a personal note, I'm not getting into a petty argument with that guy, but I do wish to say the following:
I am in agreement with Matt and Chris.
Whilst there are members here who don't know what Mel is like, there are a fair few who have experienced his devilish attitude & general unwillingness to accept his own misgivings.
We all must accept these unfortunate traits that make up his person, including his highly hypocritical side - If there was a poster HE wanted then HE would NEVER bring it to OUR attention until the auction had FINISHED.
I don't think anyone wants so-called censorship; it's more about reciprocal respect, which is something Mel visibly (through the written word) lacks in large quantities.
All this makes me laugh though, because he is his own worst enemy; he just never seems to learn; he just never seems to get it.
He has done, and does, good things for this hobby pertaining to this forum - I think everyone can see that - but he continually causes problems for himself, often
wolf when he is pulled up about something.
If there is one thing Mel should learn, it should be to hold his own tongue more.
Other than that, it's all a real shame, to be honest.
