Personally, I can't see any reason for you to "kick off" about someone making a plea for not drink driving. No accusations against anyone were made, so I find your reaction a bit extreme. The fact that the person making the plea doesn't drive is irrelevant. You don't need to be able to drive to have an anti-drink driving opinion.
Also, to think that a plea against drink driving at a pub-meet to be a "thread disruption" beggars belief.

Some people just can't help being twats, let's forgive him.
I'd love to forgive him in person. ; )

Sorry, Resonox, but you started all this with your unnecessarily aggressive reply to tjj. Some people have been affected by drink driving, and a simple plea isn't offensive. I don't drink and drive, but I accept people reminding me not to.

If anyone should be "reported" it should be you in the first place, not megadread, but I don't see any point starting crying to those in charge, and anyway, why make things worse?

I accept that you didn't like megadread's reply, but an action often results in an equal and opposite reaction.

Let's leave it and move on.

There is so much bitterness on this forum these days, and most of it is about trivia. And, yes, I have been involved too, so I am not innocent, and don't claim to be.

Personally, I wish everyone a happy, successful, and site-filled meet. As far as driving goes, I'm sure you'll all be sensible, and remember the words of Jimmy Saville: "Clunk-click every trip, jangle jangle, jewellery, jewellery, say hello to Mr.Cigar, well how's about that then."

TE.
