Lawsie gone.

It's possible that you, along with hordes of other females, had a thing for John and that voice Many would have speculated on taking the Princess' place no doubt and I'm sure that not a few lunched at Catalina (on the Murray) and later auditioned. It might well be that this different obituary may have troubled you somewhat as a fan and i understand that but don't bother sticking up for Jack, he's a disher outer as well. I'm sure that he took all of the members' concern at the time in the spirit intended and saw no "abuse" in it at all.

What you need to know is that just about any thread reference to a member makes their day. To be the butt of ongoing comment is sheer bliss. The King thrived on it It's Izzy's life blood. Never being mentioned js social death.

No, I wasn't a fan at all Paddo as I never listened to the radio unless it was ABC Grandstand. I actually get a lot out of your posts and it didn't trouble me at all. I agree with Bates's comment in the rugby one that we need all opinions posted and differing viewpoints. If we all agreed on everything, it would be boring and bland.

I was actually wondering why your post was singled out for being distasteful when there is plenty worse written by our own members about each other when they are away attending to family matters far more important than anyone could imagine. I will always defend anyone who is being gossiped about whilst they are not around to do so for themselves, especially when it's a family friend like Jack. He's not just a forum member to me and others on here.

I’m assuming this is not intended for me either Paddo? I’m not sure if it’s you as the author who’s the complainer or me and Red who questioned your post who are the complainers. But as I am generally the target of such attacks, I’m assuming the comment was directed at me not you. In which case the accusation is ludicrous as I was the poster who attempted to stop the snide comments about Jack in that thread by giving an update on his whereabouts, with his blessing.

What are you trying to do here? Perhaps these comments can also be extended to the posts which are deleted before being viewed by most members. I will return to scurrying around my cellar now. Thank you.

Not for everyone Paddo. Maybe that's a male thing but I certainly did not have 'my day made' at all for the past 3 years. You have zero idea about the ramifications and distress caused as you are not wearing the shoes of those affected. King was not thriving either..he was dealing with his wife's elderly mother's illness and long haul O/S travel at the same time. It's the most stressful thing anyone can go through.

True as everything you say might well be, most responders have no idea of the circumstances in any situation but we saw the caring nature of the site when someone remarked on Jax's absence. What followed was really fond banter for the most part - joshing. Jax has never complained about that kind of thing because, despite all else, he does have grace. And that's something that a few here might emulate.

I didn't expect this thread to become about me! But look the Where's Jack thread was overwhelmingly supportive. And yes Mighty Rooster was a great support and nothing less. There were my 3 usual trolls who have 'forever' wounds that can't heal apparently. I only came back on this site as some people had expressed genuine concerns about me, plus I wanted to show support for Rented Teacksuit and others who had bereavements. Thats all.

Back to Lawsie and Richo tributes or memories.

Not being rude here Red, but what about speaking ill of those who take a break from here for whatever reason? The thread about Jack being absent seems to be a litany of insults, snide remarks and poor taste..by the same people complaining in this thread..hypocrisy at it's finest once again..no one should ever judge anyone without stepping inside their shoes.

My point is there are worse comments being left visible on here about our own forum members and charity begins at home..within this online community.

I fail to see how anything in your post has any relevance to the opinions on the passing of John Laws.

And just FYI, I wasn't complaining I was giving my opinion which differs from Paddo's. That's still allowed right?

So tell us RedWhiteBlue. Just WHO do you believe is complaining apart from me?

Stick to topic and stop trying to derail this wonderful thread Even as a kid I couldn’t stand John Laws

Joshing is not making reference to someone lying dead in front of the TV. I was the one who flagged most of the disgusting comments on here in the first place, hoping Jack would never see them.
As for others on here, I was kicked to the kerb when I was at my most vulnerable, gaslit and mocked until I very nearly took my own life. Even yesterday afternoon, I was still trolled by the unstable one on here following me around the music thread, the 2026 thread, this one and also the Australian Made threadl. If you blokes can't see this, then I can't do anything about that.

Red, please ban me and I'll join Rooster1908. He's right..some have carte blanche to do whatever they want on here and think they own this place.

Andy mate, I never did get to 10,000 posts..I said to you once before I never had the stamina for this place and its still the same. To the self appointed one on her, you win..you finally got me out of here permanently. Enjoy dancing on my grave like you did before. Your karma will come and get you when you least expect it.

I post just like everyone else does. I don’t follow people around. In fact I deliberately avoid the many music threads you have started, contrary to what you are saying. I do not troll people or accuse people of being rodents. I loved having another female friend on here. I was your friend on here and it wasn’t my decision to end that. In fact I was very upset when you chose to do so and you continued to troll and exclude me without explanation. I am very sorry you feel this way but you have me completely wrong. I am a very quiet and introverted person who does not seek trouble of any kind. I am not your enemy and there’ll be no dancing. I have a clear conscience as I know I did everything I could to reach out and sort this problem when it first started almost two years ago.

[Red.]

OK. This thread has completely gone off the rails.

Paddo I'm not closing it because I disagree with you're opinion of Laws.

I think the reason for closure is self evident.
