Wow! Having read what's on this thread, can I retract my comments about HT - who now seems the very model of rationality and constraint.
He harrassed Owen Blackadder via here, social media, and his work. Poor Owen feared for his safety at one point. It's a mad old world.
Don't think he was site Admin at the time but the rest is correct. At one time ip addresses for all posters were available for everyone to view - they are not now - he got a lifetime ban for trying to get a poster sacked though
That's pretty disgusting really. He wouldn't say boo to anyone face to face. He is (and has) proven to be a super-troll, a sad indictment of the modern age.
I knew Owen for a while from on here and other BFC groups. Lovely a lad as you'd wish to meet. Didn't realise Windy's nonsense had got to him too. I had my fair share of run-ins with him, seems I got off pretty much unscathed.
No he was never admin - at least I dont remember him being , not on this incarnation of the board and I dont think he was ever on its predecessor either. I think for a joke someone (Gally or possibly Cazi ?) changed his profile icon to say site admin (where it for example says well known member on yours) or Administrator on real admins but he was never an real site admin. Its possible I am wrong I remember in the very early days Gally picked an old member of the previous board as an admin and got rid after a couple of weeks as he turned out to be a mistake - it might have been Windy but I am more inclined to think it was Shefftyke but it could have been someone else too. I bet Cazi would have remembered if she was still around.
