I noticed all his begging posts to other gardening groups were
universally ignored.

I was referring to his tetanus posts here and on other ngs not any
begging posts.

If you had kept up with his gardening posts and requests here,
you
would know he was lying when he claimed to have been made unwelcome.

Since he is the one who claimed to fell unwelcome then that is HIS
personal reaction. Whether you believe or feel that he was made
unwelcome or not is a judgement that you can not make on his behalf.

Tetanus injections
are an itneresting topic to both spinners and gardeners.

Yes, and nobody here has disagreed with that. It's a regular
topic in
urg so so don't fall for Virek's lame lie that I, or the group, are
"not
interested".

I didn't claim that. You are implying something I didn't state as you
are assuming that you can speak for how Vivek may or should feel about
whether he is welcome in urg..

However, first Virek claimed that an annual tetanus
booster is required here, and then, that it's required every ten
years,
along with a diptheria booster. He wanted to post that
totally-wrong-for-the-UK information as a FAQ-advice on tetanus for
this
UK group. The objection was, his information (gleaned from other
countries with different health risk levels, different health care
systems) is inappropriate to UK gardeners, and CONTRARY to the
excellent
UK tetanus care protocol (whose effectiveness is evidenced by the
minute incidence of the disease).

He did post information that didn't relate to the UK. There is no
doubt about it. However as I stated before it prodded me to do some
research of my own and that si what I foudn of interest. Without his
posts, I wouldn't have focussed on it.

However there was a dramatic contrast between the reaction his posts
received here and how they were in other ngs. This is a much harsher
group than other gardening ngs for any perceived misdeeds.

Which is fine if you think he's trolling but certainly that is not
the
case with some of the respondents here and it is a topic I (and
certainly others) found of interest.

I can only suppose that you misread the thread. I registered my
own
interest by (very politely) pointing out his information on tetanus
and
doptheria booster protocols was inaccurate for UK gardeners; and
why.

But then you weren't the only one to tell him that. Perhaps the
repeated posts which told him that his posts didn't relate to the UK
made him feel unwelcome. He said upfront that he was using what he
thought was the best site he'd found. It wasn't a UK one. Silly man.

If you want to tell him to go to
hell then that is your decision,

I didn't.

No not is so many words. You just agreed that it was a good idea for
him to quit urg completely and that you thought the group was being
trolled.

?? I haven't seen any deathwish post from Alan Holmes.

You must have missed it, but I guess we coud be pedantic about it
and
call it a mere "deathhope" rather than a "deathwish".

Let's be even more pedantic and clarify the attributions.

You're right. My apologies to Alan Holmes for falsely accusing him of
wishing dead another regular poster. He merely wished dead a casual
poster. Alan was however keen to avoid any other ng where Vivek
posted. Vivek would have to be extremely stupid if he couldn't figure
out from the tenor of a multiple of posts that his posts on this
topic were "unwelcome" in urg.

Hopefully, he's dead.

I hope the same of you!

You appear to have misread the thread again.

Mary asked after Alan Gould. Brian replied to Mary's post,
"hopefully
he is dead". According to google's archive Brian 's entire PH in urg
consists of his abusive and foulmouthed one-liners in this
thread.Brian
is not a regular poster in any sense of the term.

Alan Holmes, who IS a very old poster here, in every sense, from
the
Alan Gould era of urg, riposted to Brian "I hope the same of you".

Either way it
doesn't sound good for the health of another person who has been a
regular poster in this group. See below:


Alan Holmes didn't address that comment to or about someone who has
been or is a regular poster here.
