A sad day!

Arrse is all about being able to say what we like and to bring issues out of the shadows when they need to be. The opinions of all of us are guaranteed to get the backs up on others but that is just part of life. No one should have pressure put on them whether it is through this site or other means to alter what we say on here.

Freedom of speech means just that, we are free to tell the truth about whatever subject we like even if it makes life uncomfortable for those that should be doing their jobs and taking action to fix things when it's required.

We have to tollerate trolls on a daily basis and yet a usually decent bloke is silenced

Edited to add that I didn't get to read the offending thread before is went to the hole. This is just a general statement about speech on here and not a particular incident.

I don’t think this overzealous pursuit of loyalty to the corps being pushed from the top, has any bearing on the loyalty to the corps actually felt by REME soldiers. It has far more to do with a desire to point a finger at anyone who dares to question decisions which have an impact on their careers and label them as disloyal. This simply promotes the idea that HQ DEME(A) and REME Soldier Wing are infallible. Which they clearly (just like anybody else) are not.

Obviously sometimes difficult decisions have to be made and there will always be somebody, who feels that they have been treated unfairly, but when you refuse to listen to complaints and acknowledge that perhaps a situation could have been handled in a better way, then you lose the respect of those that you represent. You can demand respect but you won’t get it.

I have to echo other comments on this forum when I say that, dragging the names of our recent casualties into an argument about a promotion board, in order to try to score a few cheap points is about as low as it gets. Whoever you are you should be ashamed of yourself.

Oh! I've just noticed he's gone.
That's a damned shame. :(
I'm always saying I'm not interested in the folks behind the usernames and just enjoy reading posts that are thought-provoking, hilarious or demonstrate wisdom.
And Fugly ticked all three of those boxes.
I don't know what he posted that was so offensive or whatever?
Whether he's totally p1ssed off with the site? ..... or whether he is (will be) back with a new username?
If it's the former, I'll miss him. :(

Fugly was a great bloke. It's a shame that he's gone.
