User avatarI know that between us Mods we try and keep Barford related posts off UKDN. But that is more to do with not wanting him to feel important. But as this is a private forum, I thought I'd link to his article about Ambers Digs. :evil: :evil: :evil:  http://paul-barford.blogspot.co.uk/2012 ... metal.html
starting the thread: Re: Makes me mad!!  Since nobody felt any need to refute the points I had made in the text referred to, this of course started the usual spate of abusive language, the List owner's partner Graham (forklift truck driver Graham Duff) adding helpfully:

Annoying little shit who left this country to dwell in a place he isn't hated :lol:
Who cares what he thinks no one takes any notice of the bloke any way.He copied this from UKDN didn't he ? not sure where he got the other bit from though.... This forum is a Barford free zone he aint on here thats for sure ;)
I had of course (as I stated quite clearly) taken Karl's comment from the newspaper article to which my blog post provides a commentary. But Karl seems less than pleased I had read what he himself published on a public webpage and had an opinion. He writes (Thu Apr 12, 2012 3:57 pm):

That sounds like a public threat, doesn't it? He did indeed write what I reported. The list owner's partner Graham continues the aggression theme (Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:02 pm): 
[...] Karl there's a waiting list 10 miles long of who wants to rip his head off :lol: [...]. Let it go over ya shoulder he'll be dead one day then treasure hunters can dig him up and use his skull as a chamber pot.......his head is full of shit now so why change things:lol:
"Treasure Hunters", eh? Surely the whole dispute was about the use of that term? What nasty abusive people these metal detectorists seem to be.
