Vote to ban Admin Guru

[tim.watkins]

He's provided entertainment, spelling corrections and upset a lot of people. Should we keep him or ban him? Does he stimulate good debate or just wind people up? You decide! Add your vote to this thread. Note that I can't take any action on the results, but maybe someone reading them can. Personally I think AG has gone too far, and not done the RAF (or himself)any favours by broadcasting his insulting comments on a public web site. That's what Friday nights and happy hours are for! Anyway, three cheers for free speech and all that sort of thing <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

[Poison Arrow]

Perhaps we should all agree.... .He is a master baiter.

Some more fishing 'EngO'?

[Poison Arrow]

What's the tally up to now?

[bigley]

I vote to keep AG, he's kept this forum going for months. I haven't giggled so much since the female loadie took out the 'remove before flight' pins from the sidewinders on the back of a Herc!!

Let's face it, we don't need to do ISS when AG is around 'cos he corrects all our mistakes!

No, keep AG but let's not take him so chuffing seriously!!

[AHORSE]

Bigley

It wasn't a herc it was a VC10. When she arrived at Ascension and presented the pins to the movers there the reply was "You took them out you can put them back". This was said whilst removing themselves smartly from the scene.

[G.Khan]

No, he should neither be removed or given his own forum, (something he has already claimed he has, many, many times), he should be allowed to post and thereby allowed to make a complete ass of himself.

[Arkroyal]

If you don't like the prat, ignore him.

Banning free speach seems an odd idea from the defenders of democracy!

[Ralf Wiggum]

No, don't ban him/her. He/she has provided more humour than most and certainly extracted members of the forum from behind their desks.

If any should be banned, it should be those who resorted to personal abuse of AG and purile name calling. He/she retaliated with some of the same, I know, but I like him/her.

Freedom for the AG One!

[Scud-U-Like]

Ban Admin Guru? To what end? If you get rid of him, you'll simply unleash Admin Guru II: Return of the Dummy. Besides, he does produce the occasional gem.

[K52]

For once Ark Royal and I are (apart from the spelling) in complete agreement.

[Admin Guru]

I'm deeply dissapointed. Despite a second forum being created in my name (note it's not 'my' Forum because I didn't start it,) it seems that some people take the internet too seriously and feel it is their place to quosh freedom of speech. I appeal to the hearts and minds of all - I'm only posting my opinions; which are hardly too outlandish (see the Para story in JetBlast.)

EngO - If you hadn't noticed, there are several unservicable aircraft out there that need your attention. Why so bitter - didn't you pass the Admin trg course at Halton? . .Poison Arrow - thanks for the vote of confidence. Same to Ralf Wiggum. Glad to see you guys are open minded enough to see both sides of my arguments.

(Ed Winchester - if you're reading this, feel free to exercise your right not to post.)

After another happy hour I am now considering my newest Forum, but I am still thinking of the title. Inspiration will strike before the end of the week.. .(By the way 6nandneutral I'm on leave today.)

AG

'Quosh' = brand of sickly orange- or other citrus-flavoured cordial.

Try

'quash' as in 'to quash a verdict'.

Get a life fella . You got nothing better to do than go thro an Adminer`s post looking for errors ? Do you realise how sad you are coming across to others on this topic for doing that ?

Have some pride mate.

[bigley]

Guess my suggestion about taking him seriously didn't work!!!!!!

In the word of Cartman 'aw f**k'

[Jump jump John]

No, don't ban him, cos like it or not we are in fact here to defend civil liberties such as the freedom of speech, regardless of how some chose to use it.

AG, get on with your job quietly and let everyone else get on with theirs. You never know, you might actually begin to enjoy it!. .If you really dislike Aircrew that much then I suggest you don't associate with them.

Now its back to writing 10,000 correctly spelt words for my dissertation.. .Toodle-pip!

[Fox_4]

Keep the "Guru"! . .A hilarious tosser of the highest degree. He has added to an otherwise boring last few months on the Prune.

:)

[Min Decent Ht]

AG is a must. His opinion is valued as much as anyone else's.

Perhaps in SHQ anyway.

What's the score AG? You are a champion and probably a record breaker. It must be over 500 replies by now.. .In fact, if there was a talking axxe event at Salt Lake I'm sure you'd bring one home for Blighty.

[Doctor Cruces]

Nah, dont ban AAG. He may be a complete to**er but at least he makes us laugh and we can flame him with impunity knowing no one else will flame us for doing so.

Keep him, the Guvnor has been quiet lately so who can we pick on?

[BOAC]

Hey guys and girls - haven't you worked it out yet?. .Doh!

[Arkroyal]

I must use my speeling chekker!

How pleased I am to find something to agree with you over, K52.

I hope all is well with you. <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

[Captain Kirk]

Captain Gadget, . .I, for one, thought your response very humourous. . .The ability to write unambiguously and without basic spelling mistakes used to be a prerequisite of officer training. Sadly, it seems that standards have fallen. Besides, given the enthusiasm with which Admin Gunk has appointed himself the arbiter of correct prose (usually in vain) it is only appropriate that his shortcomings be exposed. . .Incidentally AG, these lines of e-chat are termed 'threads' - you are in the Military 'Forum'. . .Chin, Chin.

Ham - Thanks. That's why I don't throw stones!

Captain Kirk,

Good point spoilt by the rather poor use of the keyboard. :)

[SACSmith]

Although I've only been in PPrune a short time, it seems to me that Admin Guru is the person everyone loves to hate. You have to take your hat off to the guy (or girl?), no matter how people insult him, he always manages to give a more than adequate reply, thus neutralising the attack. But at the end of the day, this is a world within a world, does any of it really matter? It's all good fun!! <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

[G.Khan]

If it hasn't already been said, over to Jet Blast and read anything from/about one Mauritz Suiter who is really stirring it and slagging off the British Military as well.. .AG will then seem but a friendy, misguided child! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

[John Farley]

BOAC

I'm with you

[gregor_jackson]

So people are feeling it necessary to curb other's freedom of speech?. .Why? Granted there have been times when AG has said some things which obviously provoked a reaction, but all credit to him he managed to get a wide x-section of responses! Is that not what PPRune is all about?

I also have a sneaky suspicion that AG may be another aircrew phantom spelling checker in disguise! One who all too often is seen on here posting SP's all over the place. If I am mistaken I sincerely apologise.

And b4 you all unleash your cannons of correction on me, I am sorry for any spleling mistooks I've mude!. . :)

[DESPERADO]

BOAC & John Farley,. .I'm with you guys.. .Everybody else - Wood? Trees?

[DuckDogers]

I have my suspicions as to the true identity of Admin Guru. The evidence is in three parts, sorry to borrow Richard Burtons Line from 'Where Eagles Dare.'

Firstly, A number of topics that have been started by AG were apparent in the bar at Happy Hour and were freely discussed with many folk. Coincidence? I think not as many comments that have appeared were raised.

Secondly, AG can often be found playing Golf on Wednesday afternoon along with the rest of the SSS establishment.

Finally, our AG is also a bit of a fisherman. Makes sense Huh.

His identity is............................

Well,

Thats All Folks!

(More will be posted later)

[MajorMadMax]

Ho hum...another Admin Guru thread? <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> Are we really that bored and/or unimaginative?

C'mon, this board is full of sharp, sparky aircrew, where is all that amusing and witty banter we've come to expect? Is Guru-bashing the best we can do? If this keeps up, I may have to switch over to <a href="http://www.arsse.co.uk/" target="_blank">ARSSE!</a> for some lively reading. I mean, the thread searching for a garden fixture is more interesting that this!

Rally around, m'lads, we can do better!

Cheers!

Thanks for your support. I will now remove my tongue from my cheek and attempt to boldly go where no man has split infinitives before...

Next, he'll be posting as Supply King or something similar.

AG,

Moosa Aswayita, there's a good chap.

[Admin Guru]

Ed W - Mossa Asyitwa - what??!!

What language are you speaking? Im truly baffled but intrigued!

It seems my grasp of the English language may have fallen short judging by this reply.

[Jump jump John]

I thought it had been established some time ago that your grasp of the English language was sadly lacking.

[MajorMadMax]

Have you seen his latest?

<img src="redface.gif" border="0"> ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

Maybe not banned, but watched over would be a better idea...

Cheers!

Ed Winchester,

Come on, spill the beans! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

[Tonkenna]

No one should be banned regardless of the utter rubbish they may post, unless what is being said breaks the rules that Danny has set to protect him and this site. Not only that, but this is (thankfully) a forum that has no moderators so none of us can stop him anyway without going through Danny or one of the other moderators.. .. .If you are all so hacked off with what he says then just ignore it and don't post.. .. .Tonks
