I have just de-activated Daniel's account, just got fed up to be honest. The posts just go on and on and on and on and............about, well nothing really.
I did delete about 6 posts from him today which were all of the usual nonesense and yet again he called me again today to say how unfairly everyone was treating him.

I was also informed that the post about Martin making an abusive call to him was made up, he wanted to get his own back for the thread Martin started.
He has alo threatened myself and the forum with legal action,
I have sent Daniel an email about my decision and have said I would re-consider when or if he sends me some pictures of his work.
Apologies to all who thought I should have dealt with this sooner, but like life in general it's all a bit of a learning curve.

well done..good call Graham.

Sometimes enough is enough!!

I agree, good call

Its sad because looking at his videos on you tube he has posted I think he could have got so much from this forum and the people on it.

I dont think he realises how much twisting has evolved in recent years..He may have read the books, watched the videos etc when he started 9/10yrs ago whatever, but dont think any progession has taken place since then, in just my opinion.

I believe from what he wrote and how he replied to posts that he has other issues in his life he needs to address personally..

But as has been said many times, this is a balloon forum and we are people who entertain with balloons not therapists for other ailments...

Its obviously safe to come back out now!!!

Happy postings everyone

Upon reflection, I think we can congratulate ourselves on how caring and patient we as a community really are. We gave Daniel countless opportunities, we forgave many times and offered him our help and experience. I know on other forums he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did.

Well done everyone, a group hug to you all  

Well said Puppy. I'll accept your group hug!

100% correct decision

i agree with what you have done,
i have been a member for only about a year and have been very impressed with how people have given and taken criticism. i was just getting afraid that we would all be drawn in and tarred with the same brush as him. i don't think we have heard the last from our friend hopefully he will find new pastures to take his insecurities out on. its unfortunate he wasn't able to see how nice and helpful  people on here can be. i do really whish him well.

Jam and chutney forums everywhere beware!

I think you did the right thing

I agree also, the forum was getting so cluttered with his nonsense that it was getting chore to read.

I have just been sorting out some of Daniel's posts, deleting his affiliate progreamme and his 0800 business. I also renamed and deleted a few posts where he accuses a member of calling him up and being abusive, I do not want to mention names as this may then come up in a search engine search. It has been re-named Police, Doctor and Nurse Lootle's as I did not want to delete the whole thread as the pictures are very nice.

If anyone does spot something that possibly should be deleted from Daniel then please let me know and I will sort this out as well.

Again I think that the right thing has been done however there is a part of me that feels that if Daniel had actually taken the time get to know people and maybe try and attend a care and share day he could have learnt so much more. It's good, but it's a shame if that makes sense.

Yes I agree Dan it was a shame but I think we did give him so many chances and there comes a point where you just have no choice and have to think of all the other forum members as well.

Thing is his attitude was shocking from the start and I suspect that no amount of everyone being nice would have changed that.
