Shame to see Shaun61 leave. If he honestly thought it was true, then no need to apologise for the post. We need all the decent posters we can on here, and he was one, so i hope he comes back. Old school character who we need more of on here. I didn't believe his post, but i thought it was just a drunk wind up.

A good poster and I could think of others I’d rather see go before him.

Somebody else did much the same thing today they were banned from the thread. Shame about Shaun 61 as enjoyed his posts of games from the past.

Thing is the one banned knew exactly what he was doing, even tagged a poster to say that poster had received a message when he’d no clue.
I think Shaun 61 posted in good faith what he’d been told, maybe jumped the gun, but for me he’s enough brownie points on here not to have to pack it in

We didn't see eye to eye on some issues, but he was always civil in debate and undoubtedly a true MLF. It's a shame, but I don't know the details that led to it.

He posted that the takeover was off and we’d hear in the next 48 hours. He’d had info from someone he’d trusted previously.
He then decided to delete his account because he found out the info wasn’t true

That is a shame.

After lurking and not responding to his post for over 30 hours.... that was what caused people to get pissed off.

Anyway, this is sounding like a wake.

I agree but he did flounce off like. No need, behaviour more like a millennial kid would do.

I think he was pissed when he posted it as he posted some weird shit later that night. Think he felt ashamed in the cold light of day. We would all have forgave and forgot if he just apologised and explained and that would have been the end of it in my opinion
 
I posted a couple of times following his bombshell post hoping he would explain what he was on about. He should have explained sooner than he did.
I’ve always thought he had links to ALS so took his post seriously.
However, there was no need for him to leave the forum but it was his decision to do so. Like others have said, he was a good poster and a character.
I hope he reconsiders.
