But in this day and age it is very common for people to get offended for others, who probably weren’t offended in the first place, you know the 3rd party I am offended for you syndrome, it’s so BBC these days. best regards Craig Oh, LG knows his stuff alright, sometimes he came over so over the top rude though. No one minds a joke, but he often went beyond that. Sorry, forget the 'snowflake' reference and 'I'm offended for you, syndrome', it was intended to be a put down. That is why so many of his posts mysteriously disappeared, because he thought better of them later. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe he is just offensive sometimes, why else did he delete so many of his posts when called out. As for the term 'Snowflake' at 57 I doubt I qualify as one. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 It is a fact of life that speech accounts for only 15% of communication, the rest is down to expression and body language. If Larry uses a cettain type of language in text format, the whole lot is missing 85% of its true meaning. And to add further predjudice, he's not in a position to defend himself or explain himself on here any more, so all the above is essentially just one side of the story. As both myself and Craig, who do actually know LG on a personal level, have already said, some Ying to balance the Yang!!! Jinty 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a diabetic, I understand that all too well. He is usually such an amiable and helpful person who contributed much to RMweb and its members by generously sharing his knowledge. But he did have some "off" days. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he did have some "off" days. Agreed - and this was forcefully demonstrated by his very frequent disillusionment with his then-current layout, resulting in him ripping it all up and starting on something different or even in a different scale. I appreciate that Larry caused offence amongst more sensitive members on a number of occasions, but the extent to which this was deliberate and / or malicious is not clear. I do believe that many more members had come to the conclusion that the outbursts and precipitate destructive action were a character trait over which Larry did not have full control, and reacted (or did not) accordingly.

Andrew P Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Re Larry G, It pains me to read all this ***** from people who have probably NEVER met him face to face. Having met him and sat chewing the fat over several things. Yes he has a wicked sense of humour, and can sometimes be taken the wrong way. Yes I know some people were offended on here. But, I found him to be a perfectly respectable and an all round nice and helpful guy. We all have off days, and maybe he vented some anger on here. BUT, and its a BIG BUT HE CANNOT COME ON HERE TO DEFEND HIM SELF. So yes some Ying from me too. Have a nice day 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
