new to the flock Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Due to the number of PM's complaining about the advise I give as not being the way things are done in Great Britain I will no longer be giving advice on this forum and will be stepping down as a Moderator. If there is an article that you wish to download you have until 12am tonight, as they will be removed at that time! NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGalway Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I've downloaded your articles Dan, hope to use some of them training our own dog. Thanks very much for taking the time to write and post them, it involved quite a lot of work on your part. I've no opinion on those sending you PM's. What I will say is that I hope you reconsider your decision to step down, or at least take a break from it for a while to think it all out. ATB, John.

MC Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I am truly shocked, I am really sorry to read that and hope as Johngalway does that you will reconsider and not step down. I have always valued you input and have benefitted from it considerably. To all the narrow minded idiots who have sent PM's etc to NTTF I sincerely hope that one day you need some help and there is noone around to give it. NTTF is one of the good guys and what I will say is that if you don't want or agree with his advice then don't take it. IT really IS that simple. I don't see a big rush of people queueing up to offer their advice. It is easy to criticise but not quite so easy to stand up and be counted. You all should be ashamed of yourselves (but of course you won't be because you think you know best) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbart Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I can not remember seeing anything you have wrote that would make anyone take offence I have trained a lot of working dogs.terriers,lurchers and gundogs and the only conclusion i come to when reading your threads is that you know what you are talking about !

rimfire4969 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I am very sad to read this news, i have read your bits and pieces and have always found them helpfull. Once again a small minority **** it up for the rest of us who appriciate your advise and views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_commoner Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 That is a real shame, i have received and also read some of your advice without opinion and useful debate this forum would not exisit and neither would many others as they would need only be merely posting boards where ''the right way'' was posted for us all to follow. i hope you reconsider your decision as i for one feel that members with a wealth of experience should not be personally criticised for sharing that knowledge, if people do not agree post it on the forum and let us debate, but PM's are not the way forward. hope you reconsider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) I sincerely hope this is an april fool's! NTTF has been nothing but a legend and asset to this site as far as I can see - and obviously knows dogs well, and gives fantastic advice as a result If indeed it is an april fools then all fair and well - you certainly panicked the PW community! But if it is genuine, and people really have been that dickish then I'm truly sorry that it has come to this. What a bunch of wazacks! If we trained dog the way the majority do in england then we would be left with a load of vicious, incontinent, badly behaved cretins.......and their dogs Thanks for all the help you have given me - i still owe you those pints Edited April 1, 2009 by Boomstick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 NTTF - disappointed you have been driven to this by some narrow minded individuals; as MC says, if anyone doesn't like the advice given don't take it. I would urge you to reconsider, however, I suspect once your decision has been made - as it clearly has - then that is the way it will stay. Your input will be a big loss to the forum.

Raja Clavata Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I seriously too hope that this is a windup but suspect it's not the case... Dan, I'm a mod on a well known barbel fishing site and have had a fair few people have a pop at me --- more to do with my upholding the rules of the site than the content of my posts, but the same applies --- don't let the losers "win" mate Most respectfully Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Dan you're a mod they don't have to agree with you just let a finger slip and ban the ********. Whats the point having power if you don't abuse it occasionally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
