Not that I recall 😂. To be fair those socials were more for raising money for Stoney and Freinds, and we raised some good amounts to 👍

I always thought he was alright. But he did not like me either lol.
He put some post up about he needed bic oars. So anyway, I had loads sitting in my garden behind a shed (I use little paddles). I had never spoken to him, ever. I pm'd him, and said I had two that he could have for free. Also that I was attending a charity thing for Stoney & Friends in Yateley in a week or twos time, and that I'd leave them behind the counter for him in Yateley angling. He said that would be amazing.
Anyway I dropped the oars in for him, and a few weeks past. I had not heard from him via pm, so thought he may not have gone and got them. I pm'd him again, and asked him if he had remembered the oars. He sent me back a pm, saying something like "Yeah I did". Some thing like that anyway, it was enough for me to think.... Yeah that's alright pal, no wonder people don't like you much LOL.
Where I come from, you thank people who go out of their way to help you, for nothing.
He probably was a user I argued with as TCarper, but in a secret guise. They ruined that forum, no one else.

That's very poor form.
I used to say to my kids “manners are free and never go out of fashion”
Personally i think you should have either delivered them to his house or at least have had the decency to courier them to him. :-)

Is this site now the alamo of the social media driven angling world?
I was on the black forum. It taught me how to conduct myself online and I learned a vast amount from it. I Still have friends to this day of whom I met on there. Sadly, Facebook and insta do not conjure debate and a flow of conversation. They are merely a picture book of sunsets and filters now. Then again, some of the content does induce the urge to go, especially when those taking the photos have knowledge on how to capture a moment.
