They also appear to have deleted a post from Paul B which politely questioned the possibility of Mick writing an impartial and unbiased review of the guide after the comments he had made.

Must be nice to not have to bother thinking of replies to difficult questions. Just make them disappear.

seriously has that gone? I made that as POLITE as possible. I'm fuming.

well i've asked them to justify their choice in an email, I did this on a quick thread which is now no more, so hopefully (fingers crossed) i'll get an email soon, although all that i've got so far is somebody trying to sell me viagra  :shrug:

Viagra will make you climb harder, and that's a promise...

It's interesting that the mildly crititical comment posted by Chris F seems to have been deleted.

It seems Mick can't take any criticism.

Yes, my posting has definitely been deleted. I don't think it's the criticism he was concerned with, more likely the fact that I pointed out that he used to post on here until he got banned. Seems like NEWS is more important than the TRUTH.

Paul B's comment has been deleted too.

There was that old russian joke (apologies for the spelling and lack of cyrillic characters) na pravda da ivestia na ivestia da pravda.

I'm going down to the works tonight, I'll try and ask MR what he's playing at face to face.  If you see anyone in the sheaf later with a fat lip you'll know it got tasty.

you'd think that if a comment was worth deleting you would get an email telling you what you've done wrong and maybe highlighting any terms and conditions you've broken.

Sloper: I'm not climbing at the moment as i'm riddled with injury but I might accompany my good lady down...

I'm not really climbing at the moment, but I ight see how the hand is tonight.  Look for an Irish rugby shirt and specs (if anyone mentions a portly gentleman I'll drown them in fine wine)

looks like UKC have deleted the whole thread now. Pity, as I was enjoying reading it. UKC, Presumably at the behest of mich 'Goebbels' Ryan even purged another thread asking why the original thread had been deleted.

As I said, Mick Ryan suffers from extreme bouts of cowardice.  Too many UKC users were critical of him.  He's got the balls of a ladyboy.

Thought I might put my two cents in on Mick Ryan seeing as everyone's having a pop at the cock.
I seem to remember once that Mick accused me, publicly on the UKC forum, of being a homophobe. I wish I had saved the thread in some way so I could report it more accurately. The gist of it is is that I in particular have a hatred for homophobia and politely explained this to Mick also on the forum. Well surprise surprise those posts were done away with speedily. Posted it several times after but it was deleted every time. He claimed that it wasnt him who deleted them (which I dont believe). I have no problems with the rest of the UKC mods. I know that if I was head honcho there I would have done away with Mick a long time ago. This isnt the first time hes used his position as mod and "news" editor to get things his own way.
Maybe we should reccomend Vixen Tor to him as an excellent crag with friendly locals.

Hi Gareth, My work is done on this subject and with much success- please feel free to post this down UKB. We deal with all climbers, all of them, and I've a lotof editing to do and advertising to sell. Thanks to all for playing. It played out as I planned.It was so easy. Best

Do you think he sees himself as some sort of media mogul, manipulating and twisting events according to his plans, like Eliot Carver (the least scary and crappest Bond villan ever).

funny that, several of my UKC posts have also been deleted - in particular one asking why so many posts had gone missing. it seems you can only be on the forums if you toe the party line - say anything they happen to disagree with and it disappears

Sloper, did Mick have anything to say for himself at The Works last night?
