Where did the APAT "spirit" go??
« on: March 28, 2012, 15:55:28 PM »
What happened?  Seems that APAT has become a bitching ground lately, and that Des and Tighty are seen as fair game. It"s all getting pretty depressing tbh.

APAT is run by a bunch of volunteers - get with the programme people, and start showing a little respect.

Carry on the way it is, and I can see the important people walking away, and APAT dissolves.

No, take it as read that while sensible and considered argument will always be welcomed, the bitching stops here. It has not been a factor on this forum over the past five years and if people want to berate or belittle others on here, then they are out. Enough is enough.  This is my one and only warning on this subject. If people disagree, feel free to find another forum to post on.

I"m pretty amazed by some of the moan type posts on here and to be honest I do bite sometimes when I see something that I think is over the top or out of order. I apologise for that.

However I think some people need to read what they put before pressing the post button
Looking forward to making my first day 2

This!  It made our tournaments so different from the norm, to hear the casino break out in applause whenever there was a KO.  Helped the community spirit of the events.
