Well again no, it was about Des and Paula sharing a facebook account, read the bloody thing.

Bluespark posted the opening post above and copied the entire convo on here, the first rant seems to be because Sally pointed out the FB typo and was being negative and then it snowballed from there.

Correct. The thread was fine until Paula ripped into Sally for posting it, then off it went.

She had a pop at Sally for only criticising on there, the row kicked off over the shared account.
As said it is abhorrent but it is opening up a whole area you could fill the thread with.
How about for the PDC howler thread "PDC hall of famers son banned from dart forum for abusing the BDO"? :grin:

I wasn't going to add it but sod it.

He isn't banned.
Just had a small sabbatical like yours.
And it was for abuse of things other than the BDO as well and repeated post editing by the moderators just to clarify.

Can we also add:

- Wife of board member (who has never won a TV match in a major event in her life) given plum free to air slot on TV for her first match, whilst top seed Deta Hedman is lumbered with evening session tucked away on a pay TV channel

When you read over the first page again it really does drive it home what an inept, useless, clueless, rudderless fiasco the BDO is. And the worst part is we are weeks away from it even starting.

I'm going to see if I can find Liverpool tickets on there. Would be good to see the likes of Rush, Beardsley and Barnes.

It got out of hand in the Fanatics page and they let the threats towards our County Chairman stay on there from that Rhino guy.

Now how does our Chairman put in a Complaint to Disciplinary Committee about this when some of the abuse came from his own Facebook page, granted it was stated it was his wife posting it. There is a Social Media policy in place is there not now.
